three scores were chalked up for

ONE OUT OF THREE.
Jalbert JOhnS0n'S Team Shut Out Twice
by Minneapolis WilmOtS.

Col. Jalbert Johnson is jolly.
Weeks ago he found crowd of
young men stranded on the waves
of despair-left there by one Col
Chichester Apitz. Col. Jalbert,
hero-like, alternately chanting 'pull
for the shore, sailor, and 'rescue
the perishing," saved many from
the wreck. A few went over board,
and while it is limited that Jalbert
gave them a kick as they went
down later experience has proved
his act justifiable.
With the salvage from the Apitz
frigate, REINFORCED by pick-ups
made in the wilds, Col. Jalbert
commenced leading the public to
believe that he had the proper glue
to patch up ball team. In that
dream of vanity he commenced to
advertise, to travel. To do both
costs money. In the salvage there

was no gold, no Monte Cristo dis
covery- quite the reverse, in fact.
A big deficiency plaster came. with
the stranded wreck and Jalbert
was determined to make good. To
liquidate his own indebtedness and
to handle the legacy was an object.
Defeat after defeat came with the
gain of few pennies. The trounc-
ing of Tee-pe-tonka Dalzell's men
helped some. Then came the Will
mots OF Minneapolis, who offered to
come to Redwood Falls and Morton.
play three games all for SIS. This
was the amount of the purse offered
by Morton to Jalbert for a game be-
tween his men and the Wilmots.
The other two games for Redwood
Falls would be velvet, and while
the Wilmots held up Jalbert for $50
more than their expenses for play
ing down at Morton the Redwood
rescuer saw enough shekels roll
into his satchel to announce that
all Indebtedness would be wiped
out. That was joy.
The first game with the Wilmots
was played on Monday evening of
last week. Jalbert's Juveniles were
feeling good and played great ball.
Not an error was made and when
the game was called on account of
darkness the yellow and black of
Minneapolis had been walloped bv
score of to 1. That was going
some.
The next morning the yellow and
black took revenge. And revenge
was taken before a big crowd.
"Buo' Satterlee, the yellow and
black short, made a bad run early
in the game. Whereupon one E.
Hansen, a third sacker, dubbed
"Bub" pin-head. To which
"Bub" demurred. Timely inter
ference on behalf of half a dozen
policemen and several aldermen
prevented an internal dissension in
the yellow and black that might
have proved happy to the Redwood
arms. Even afterwards, as the
crowd loosely insisted that "Bub'
was pin-head, that player became
ratified. He wanted to collide with
the third-sacker and in his desper-
alton two errors were chalked up
against him. Hansen, fearing a
collision, got one error.
But otherwise the team pulled to-
gether. Nelson held the locals
down to double and single, made

population at the present time would

Before the ban was placed on the
census bureau it was learned that
the official census for the city of
Redwood Falls would be placed at
the figures above given. 1t was
also announced that Is districts out
of 20 in Redwood county, outside
the city of Redwood Falls, showed
a gain of 1929 over the last census.
By districts is meant the census
enumerator districts In some
cases one enumerator took the cen
sus of more than one township or
village, and yet his territory is
called district.
The Is districts reported to the
bureau included all of the districts
in which net loss is expected, and
these are only one or two. So the
remaining districts are sure to in
crease the total. The city's in
crease of 145 would make gain of
LIZA in sixteen out of the twenty
districts. This makes a certain

in different innings, and SO sharply
was the fielding carried on that not
a Redwood man crossed the home
plate, and only one got into that
territory seething with the flames
of the internal dissension of one
"Bub' Satterlee and one E. Han
sen. On the other hand the yellow
and black pounded Ward for FIVE
singles, double and a home run,
and assisted by eight errors they
got eight men across the plate.
Four of these came in the eighth
inning, when Hallstrom got first on
an error, stole second and came
home on another error. Two sin
giles, a third error and double
| brought in three more scores. Two
more scoi es came in the second,
Hallstrom getting pass to first,
stealing both second and third and
then coming home on another error.
Swanson made long drive over
the left field fence for home run.
The last two were secured in the
Fifth on couple of errors, two stol-
en- bases and a safe hit. The score
was s to o. The game was called in
the seventh to give the players an
opportunity to get to Morton.
The Morton game was distinctly
pitchers battle. Not a hit was
made by either side during the en-.
tire nine innings. The score was
2 to 0, the Wilmots getting the two,
thefrst by Dahlgren receiving a
pass to first, forced to second by
Hansen being hit by a pitched ball,
third on wild throw of Prescott
and coming home on chance error
OF Baldwin. The second score came
in the seventh. when Shaefer was
charged with an error by reason OF
the crowd having pushed over the
first base line and preventing him
from catching a fly which he would
otherwise have caught, and which
gave the runner two bases, coming
home on felder's choice.
The Redwo team sent Just 81
men-the required number-to bat
in the nine innings, while the Will
mots got just 20 men up. Francois
work in the box was immense and
he clearly demonstrated that he is
one OF the best base ball pitchers
in the amateur teams of the state.
His command of the ball, his judg-
ment of fielding, etc., is superb.
Dahlgren pitched straight ball and
the wonder was that the locals, |
even though light at the bat, could |
not find him.
