TWO GREAT GATES.
Renville to Meet Morris Twice Next
Week.-Benson Defeated Twice.

-A>S
base ball fans of Morris and the sur
rounding country will have the OPP,
portunlty of seeing one of the great
est independent ball teams ever or
ganizsd in Minnesota clash against
the locals. For the past two years
Renvitle has had great team, but
their team this year is stronger than
ever; they are the independent cham
pions of Wisconsin, North Dakota,
South Dakota. Wilson, a colored
man, famous, all over the country for
his clever work in the box, will pitch
one of the games against Morris.
The opportunity of seeing the Rem
vile team, and the mighty Wilson is
one of that should not be missed by
the people of Morris, and we hope
that every person in the city who has
ever heard the words, base and ball,
will be out to cheer the locals on to
victory.
And the local boys may we'll enter
tain thots of victory, for their record
This season probably stands as the
best ever made by Morris team, and
one of the best ever made in the
country. They have lost but two
games out of seventeen. Their work
IN the field has been along the sensa-
tional order thruout the season, and
of late they have heen handling the
bunch of old 'vets'' If they show
their true form next week, they will,
without a doubt carry off the honors
in at least one game, and maybe in
both. So sum up your quarters and
be on deck. Wednesday and Thurs
day, Aug. End and 3rd.
After playing four close games
with Benson the locals finally took
the Benson boys into camp in an
overwhelming manner. The
slaughter occurred at Benson, Mon
day, oath, when the Morris outfit
walked all over Gutherie, coming
away with twelve scores to Benson
one.
1t seemed to be an off day for the
whole Benson team as they made
n:ne errors, and Gutherie, their star
slab artist, was up in the air from
start to finish and to tell the truth,
anyone would think to look at his
record that he must have been lost
member of the G. G. Co. of St. Paul
the balloon man. He was touched
up for three three-baggers, two two
baggers and six singles. Brown
landed on him for home.run in the
eighth, but the "umps" failed to see
that Catcher Darlington did not hang
on to the ball, when attempting to
put Brown out at the plate and con
sequently called the big fellow out.
Benson got their only score in the
third. Peterson led off with a hit,
was sacrificed to second, and scored
on Newton's two Dagger. Three
men went out in quick order, anu
the Benson rooters were behind in
their roofing for the rest of the
afternoon.
After making one score in the
first, Morris did nothing until the
fifth. In that inning O'Malley started
off with single. Stewart followed
with another hit, sending O'Malley
to third. Spooner drew a pass, and
the bases were full. Horrigan lifted
the ball into center for two bases,
and O'Mslley scored. Stewart was
caught at the plate trying to score
on the same hit. Both Spooner and
Rorrigan scored on Warmers safe
one. The next two men flew out,
retiring the side.
In the seventh a hit and two
errors netted two runs. Spooner
led off with a three Dagger, and
scored on a error. Jones drew a
base on balls, and went clear around
and scored on errors.
In the ninth Morris knocked Jacks
twirlers all over the lot. Spooner
started the fire works with a two
Dagger, was sacrificed to second, and
scored on Warmers hit. Jones got
