HAWLEY vs.. WHITE EARTH,

The base ball game at Detroit
last Tuesday was a surprised dis
appointment for the "rooters"
who had accompanied the team
there. We all had hopes to see
an evenly matched team, but be-
fore the game was barely half over
with, White Earth had already
won the game by their excellent
batting and fielding. Hawley be-
ing outclassed in every department
of the game.
Part of our team arrived in time
when the game was advertised
while the balance was on the road,
being late about two hours. The
crowd that had gathered in the
grand stand patiently waited for
over an hour and had to return
their tickets, thinking the full
team would not be there. A very
small crowd was in attendance,
the largest number would be about
one hundred.
The few that saw the work of
Emerson were highly elated
and all spoke of him to be one OF
the best pitchers in this part of
the state. While his receiver
Sam Smith is as good as they
make them.
Pitcher Norris worked very
hard for Hawley and certainly did
well after having faced the same
team three times the past month.
The White Earth team dis
banded today and the boys have
| made a record for themselves hav-
,, ing won every game they played.
We are sorry St. Cloud could
not find an open date to play us,
but any time they wish for a
game with us would be pleased to
| hear from them,

His patience bore no longer strain,
With process, judgement, execution,
He threatened; nor was it in vain.
"Poor Lo' got scared and paid the

But fingered after he had paid;
"Whay do you waltz" the lawyer
asked.
"Me want receipt" the Indian said.
"Receipt!" the limb of law rejoined,
"What know you how these things
are done?
Tell me the use of a receipt,
And I'll be pleased to give you one. :

With merry twinkle in his eye,

The law is good one. If fish are
seined they can be take out of the
