NOTES..

The Miles City people, about 80 in all,
and returned on a special at $3.50 in the
evening. They brought their band along
and in the evening, between 7 and 8
The playing was excellent and Judging
from the crowds who thronEed the street,
about everybody must have turned out
to hear 1t. Frank Lish, treasurer and
one of the incorporators of the local ball
team, said that he had never heard finer
music any where and as a mark OF an.
probation pulled off his hat and passed
it among the crowd and in a few minutes
had a bunch Of silver amounting to about
$50 which he placed in the grip of the
leader of the band.
The Dickinson people tried to do the
handsome thing by the visitors and how
we'll they succeeded is perhaps best told
in the following lines sent to the Mime
apolis Tribune by a special representa-.
tive of the paper who happened to be in
the city on Sunday:
"a large number Of prominent citizens
OF the Montana city, together with their
band, accompanied their ball team to
Dickinson, and were Hospitality enter
tanned by the home citizens; in fact it
was open house everywhere. Dr.. Bruning
OF Miles City, who umpired, gave perfect
satisfaction to the partisans of both
teams. The result of the game has led
to talk OF holding interstate baseball
tournament in Dickinson some time in
September, open to all organized clubs
in North Dakota and Montana"
Mcbride had his batting eye with him
and fielded his position we'll.
Rockwell caught a good game, and
his throwing to bases was c~ommendable.
Benzie's balls to Ripple on first were
sent with lightning speed and always put
out the runner.
Ripple sustained his reputation for
good work on list base and didn't let any
thing get away.
Manager Davi, fills his position we'll
and knows how and when to give his boys
words OF encouragement to spur them on
to success.
A more fair umpire than DR.. Bruning
never stepped foot or the diamond, and
nothing but compliments can be heard
tor him on every side.
Capt. Ronesh' 3-bagger in the first
inning brought forth loud applause and
made him a favorite with alf. His work
on ard was also worthy of note.
About the time Ronesh made his 3-bag-
ger hit Manager Davis was stepping
pretty high and presented the captain Of
the local team with a handsome five dol.
lar bill.
Davidson was the popular man after
the game for his clever pitching, and
won the admiration of all; and az the
Minneapolis Tribune man styles it "he
played in perfect FORM"
The team on the whole played fast and
snappy ball from start to finish and gave
the very best satisfaction. The same is
also true of the visiting team. The
Miles City players are a fine lot of boys
and the next time they cross bats with
our boys it will surely be a tussle for su,
premacy.
