The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1905-01-13

We came across a pair Of editorial
utteranceS recently which if they
had been published in any Mitchell
paper previous to the capital election
such paper would nave been charged
with Knocking the state. Here is
what the Aberdeen News printed in
its columns less than a month ago:
The homeseeke1s of the United
States have had fifteen years in
which to settle on the lands west Of
the Missouri river. They have ap-
pIeciated their opportunities so little
that of the 5000. 900 acres then
opened 20 settlement but 25 per cent
have been filed upon.
Then as a little better authority
we present this little clipping con-
corning the reservation country from
the Fort Pierre Stock Journal:
There is no use Disgusting the fact
that those who have tried it and are
in a position to know all agree that
a section Of average land, outside Of
river bottoms, will pasture only from
twenty-five to fifty head OF stock the
year around.
Both OF the above papers were yell
ling their heads of for Pierre during
the capital campaign. Who was tel.
ling the truth about the country vel
thure-Mitchell before election or
the Aberdeen News after election?

Mt. Vernon Beat First Congregational
in SIugging Game.

Those who witnessed the game between
the First Congregationalists and the Mt.
Vernons yesterday afternoon and who ex-
pected to see an interesting game were
not disappointed. They also had the pleas
ure of seeing one Of the old-time games
in which every hit meant a run. The Mt
Vernons again demonstrated the iact
that they are a bunch of hitters, and their
batting was what helped them TO WIN
by a score of IA to IL.
The Congregationalists were unable 10
get started in their run-getting until the
fourth, when Kelly took a chance at get
ting hit, which started the round, and
Hemingway followed with single.
Mt. Vernon, in their turn at the sticR
in the fourth, punched their four hits
and every one of them counted.
In the fifth. with three men on bases
Stevenson came to the bat and made a
mighty swat for three sacks, which MADE
a great hit with the crowd. He was the
recipient of generous laurelS from all, the
ladies especially.
The Firsts in the seventh tore off a few
stunts of batting that made the Mt YER
non manager look worried. Kelly started
trouble in this round when he lead on
with a single. He was followed by four
of his team-m mates connecting for singles.
and to make Thomas think he knew
something about his twists he pounded
out a double the second time up.
The winning run was made after one
was out and with three men on bases.

Happier Held Columbia Down to Two
Hits.

Superb battery work on the part of
cause of the defeat of the Columbus in
their game with the Cowboys yesterday
afternoon, the final score being: Cowboys
II; Columbfas, l.
Besides allowing only two hits Happier
struck out five men, while not a base was
stolen off Chamberlain, his throwing
being as true as die.
The game abounded in long hits four
three-base swats and two two baggers
being made.
Beddow pitched a good game up to the
third inning, when four unearned runs
were made. and in the fourth he started
on balloon ascension and was relieved
by Wright.
The fielding behind Happier was all
that could be expected only two errors
being made by his side.
The lone run of the Columbus came in
the first. when O'Connell smashed out a
two-bagger and Tailed on Cotter's error
OF Bielaskfs chance. The Cowboys also
got one in the first on a single by Tread
way and two errors. Four more, which
they ought not to have had, came in the
third Nevins the first man up, led off
with a hit good for three sacks. but the
next two went out on easy chances to

Chute was passed and Cotter hit long
fly to Wright who made a bad tumble
and two runs scored. Ccnroy tripled,
scoring Cotter, and came home moment
to pile UP runs until they had twelve.

AMERICAN LEAGUE GAMES.
New Yorks Downed the Detroits.

A strange reversal of form was shown In
yesterdays game between the Detroits and
New Yorks in the former city, and 1t was
entirely due to the superior pitching OF
Hogg who replaced Griffith in the box
after the first inning Griffith clearly cut
the middle of the plate on Crawford in the
second inning and Umpire Kelly called 1t
ball. Griffith and the entire New York IN
field protested and sulked and Kelly put
Griffith out of the game and grounds
Hogg, who succeeded, was an unsolvabie
mystery to the Detroit men. as is shown
by the fact that no Detroter reached third
base and only two arrived at the second
sation. New York's first run came on
single by Anderson. followed by Chase's
single to right which put Anderson on
third, and he scored on Yeager's long
fly to left. The OTHER two came In on
Keeer's single, which bounded off Cough
