second and one to third. In the third
Hupp reached first on being hit by a
pitched and Cruikshank on an error
of Phyle. Both of these men scored
and that was all. In the fifth Nolga
reached first on base on balls, a
fielder's choice and two errors by
Cruikshank, these with a base hit
netted them four runs. From that
time until Brookings ninth the same
old procession of goose eggs was the
order of the day, though both teams
got men on bases where they died an
easy death. In Brookings ninth
Cruikshank got two bagger and
Johnson single, these with a base on
balls to Fox and an error of Burns
gave Brookings two runs and tied the
score. In Brookings tenth they went
out one, two, three. In Nolga's half
Cruikshank' error gave Hill a life
and base hit by Hymes won the
game with no one out. Below is the
detailed score:

The grand Lodge A. o. L. w. have

official organ of the order, for the

HIGH SCHOOL
TRACK MEET
Tyndall Carried off the Honors by
Score of Fifty-one Points

The track meet of the High schools
held in this city Thursday and Fri
day resulted in victory for Tyndall
with score of 81 points, Dell Rapids
taking second place with 81 points to
her credit. The attendance was not
what it should have been considering
the good records made and the i'm
portance of encouraging these young
men who are about to select some
place in which to finish their educa-
ton. The importance of catering to
this element was somewhat overlooked
by Brookings and her people.
The representatives sent here by the
different High schools were, in our
opinion, above the average in intelll-
gence and physical proportions-they
were fine looking lot of boys whose
faces beamed with intelligence and
enthusiasm. We understand that
quite number signified their inten-
tention of entering the Agricultural
college as soon as they were through
with the public schools.
The following is the record of the
events as decided in the finals:

NOLGA GAME.

Last Friday the bail season was
opened in Volga by game between
the Volga and Brookings teams. A
fair sized crowd turned out to the
game, and of course being on the
home grounds of the Nolga team, the
majority of those present were anxious
to see the home team win. The game
opened with Brookings at the bat and
for three innings there was nothing
doing, as Brookings only got one man

DESMET GAME.
The Brookings team went to De-
Smet Saturday to meet the Iroquois
ball toSSers. The DeSmet grounds
were used for the first time this year
and are not in the best of condition.
The ball park however is one of the
finest in the state, having a splendid
grand stand and fenced all around.
The Afternoon was cloudy with strong
indications of a storm and only n
small crowd assembled To witness the
game. For the first three innings
lroquois failed 10 to get beyond first
base, while in the first two Brookings
only got one man on base, when
Cruikshank made a base hit and stole
second and third, where he was left.
In the third Rife, Cruikshank and
Johnson each singled and with stolen
bases by Rife and Johnson scored
two runs. In the fifth a bunt of
Deeth, clean singles by Cruikshank
and Nelson, a two-bagger by Johnson
and an error by Albright gave Brook
ings four more. In the sixth single
by Gullick, sacrifice by Deeth, a
two-bagger by Rife, an error by
Albright and single by Johnson told
the tale of how Brookings got the
three more. For Iroquois an error by
Gullick, single by Manchester and
three-bagger by Tobey gave them two
in the fourth. In the Sth Stormont
was hit by ball, Adams made an
error and Tobey again came to the
rescue with another three-bagger and
the result was two more for Iroquois.
The game was very fair representa-
ton of how the game should be played
and as Albright is DeSmet boy most
of the rutting was in his behalf. DR..
Dickey, of lroquois, who umpired the
game, could be improved upon.
