FARGO LOSES THIRD
GAME TO WINNIPEG
Northern League Champions
Play Good Uphill Game
and Win.

For two brief innings in the game be-
tween Fargo and Winnipeg out at Lexing-
ton park yesterday afternoon things look
ed SO bright and rosy for the North Da
kota bunch that Perry Werden sent
wireless to Fargo, saying the game was
cinch. Five hits, two of them doubles,
two free passes to first, assisted by Annis'
error, combined to give the WeFden pro-
teges five runs four Of which came in
the first round of play.
But the Illusion was dispelled at the
beginning of the third, when Capt. Kelley
ordered Converse to the bench and gave
Bemis working orders Mr.. Remis is the
young man who compelled Werden to lose
faith in his dope book, and when the
clouds had cleared away at the end of the
game it was found that Fargo had been
left at the first quarter. Score, Winnipeg
g, Fargo 5.
During the seven innings Bemis was in
the box for the champs there was nothing
doing for the Fargoites. Two dinky hits
is ali the handsome young man allowed.
and so we'll WAS he supported that only
two of Werden's youngsters got as far as
second base. In the meantime, the VIM
nlpeggers hraeed up in their hitting, and
helped along by Fargo'S errors accumu-
lated nine TALES, which was more than
sufficient to win the game.
Fargo's glory was confined mostly to
the first inning, in which Converse started
things by giving a base on balls and al
lowing three hits. Treager was the first
man up. He walked. going out at second
on Roses easy one to short. Werden
lined out a single and Rose reached third,
scoring moment later on Lynch's SINGLE
which landed Werden at the third bag.
Edwards got down ON Annis' error, Wer-
den scoring on the throw to first. Spell
iicey lined out nice single, scoring both
Lynch and Edwards, but later was caught
at third base by good throw from How
ard. Burrows ended the fusillade by
striking out.
Fargo Became Confident.
With four runs to the good, Fargo be-
came confident, and in the second Hickey
started more trouble by landing on the
first hall pitched for two bags. Olson
famed, and Traeger went out from Annls
to Clayton. Rose revived interest by hit
ting for two bases, scoring Hickey, but
after Werden got a base on balls Lynch
retixed the side by catching Rose off the
base. This was the finish of the score
making for Fargo, as Converse was retiey-
ed in the next inning by Bennfs, and the
young man was too much or a problem
fer the Fargo aggregation to solve.
Olson also had a bad inning at the get
away. three runs being ehargeable to his
cratic pitching and an error by Lynch
at second LeBarron was up first and
drew pass. ARnis sacrificed and went
out from Olson to Werden, LeBarron ad-
waited for four wide ones. and both he
and LeBarron advanced q base on
Lynch's error, from where they scored on
Capt Kelley's single over short. Clayton
got in the way Of a slow one, and Hflle
got down a fieIder's choice, but both men
were left on bases. Walsh and Howard
both striking out.
Two mere runs were made in the
fourth. due to singles by Howard and
Bemis, a sacrifice by Green, who took
LeBarron's place when the latter sprain-
ed an ankle, and a double by Annis. In
the fourth Clayton hit a beauty, and made
third before the ball could be returned,
scoring the only run of the inning when
Lynch fumbled one at second. Two err
rors, one by Burrows and another by
Lynch, gave the champs another score in
the sixth.
In the eighth the Peggers landed onto
Mr.. Olson for three singles, and two more
runs were added to a total already too
great to suit Manager Werden The
trouble in the eighth came after two
had been retired Clayton hit one for a
base, and HiIle walked. Walsh lined out
single and went to second when Bur
rows made an unsuccessful attempt to
cut off Clayton at the home plate. How
ard hit safe. scoring Hiile. and Bemis
ended the game by hitting an easy one
down to Lynch. who retired the pitcher
at first.
In the first inning LeBarron sprained
his ankle and may be out of the game
for several days. Yesterdays victory
gives, Winnipeg two of the three games
played with Fargo. The contest was wit
messed by $50 people Score.
