This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725, 900.
and barley at 1890, 900 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, If not absolutely
satisfying. To better appreciate this
fact, all that is necessary to do is to
go back rs years in the history Of
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels Of
wheat, on an acreage of $1,000 and
1,270,268 bushels of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 100000 bushels OF
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 100000
bushels for export, which at 70 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $50,000,000.
The barley and oats exported are
good for an additional $25, 10000, and

Sundays Game.
Strip gave the Sunday contest to
Calumet by erratic throwing to bases.
Hanson threw magnificent game and
deserved to win. His twirling and
Roses fielding were the features.
Hanson held the visitors to trio of
struck out four. His work would win
nine out of ten games and a little
stick work by his team mates would
have won despite the adverse luck. 1t
was hard to lose game after such
excellent box work.
The contest was somewhat in the
nature of a pitchers battle. Manager
Morrison of the visitors was in the
center of the diamond and his work
was also gilt edged, though Hanson
had the better of the fight.
Fargos only run came in the fourth
when Rose reached the initial corner
on Monnihan's boot, was pushed along
by Dolan's sacrifice, went to third on
Edwards out from short to first and
scored on Ntzgerald's second hit.
Calumet got one around in the fifth
when Moynihan got to first on one

rison's sacrifice and scored on Cor
rigan's right field hit and Roses slow
return.

hit for two sacks. Leahy swung on
ball that dropped Immediately in
front of the plate. Strip fumbled
the ball an instant and instead of TAX
ing sure thing at first tried to nail
Corrigan at third, and both men land
ed safe. Had Strip thrown his man
out at first there would have been no
score as both Bufka and Loughlin
were easy outs from Hanson to Dolan.
Even then the day would have been
saved had Fitzgerald not booted the
infield drive of Vorpagel, who landed
safe, while Corrigan scored and Leahy
went to third. That gave the visitors
victory after Strips case of poor
Judgment, then to cinch things, on the
first ball thrown to Mutter, Vorpagel
started for second and to the aston
ishment of everyone, Strip threw to
second. Neither Fitz nor Mehl COW
cred the sack and Leahy rushed home
with second run and Vorpagel was
safe. 1t was case of poor Judgment

In the Saturday contest, Ferguson,
late of Duluth, was given a trial in
the box. He proved wild in the first
part of the game, and his support was
odorous all the way through. Nehr
was the chief offender, with two err
rors and the grand total of misplays
was seven. Rose got in two assists
from right field. one by the grace Of
the umpire. The fielding feature Sat
urday was Strips work on fouls. He
nailed three, two of them extremely
difficult, and his work in that respect
was the best he has ever done on the
high twisters back of the plate.
The visitors couldn't score in the
first and Fargo got pair on a hit,
sacrifice, two erorrs and a base on
balls.
Calumet knotted the score in the
second on base on balls, two hits,
Nehr's error and a long fly to the
outfield. Another was chalked up for
the visitors in the third on double,

Score of 2 to 1.

A hair-raising one-hand circus
catch OF fifty mile an hour line drive
In center field by Wilson, the St. Louis
university ball player, who is essay
ing to do in Grand Forks uniform,
permitted the Brownies to defeat the
HOughton Giants in an evening game
Saturday. The contest went full nine
innings and concluded 2 to in favor
of the home team. The score stood
just that way in the eighth inning
when, with Sundheim on third by rea-
son of a single, an out and passed
ball, O'Hara came to bat and made a
drive that looked easily good for two
Dagger. Wilson in center ran like
the wind, and by making long reach
to the side, managed to get the ball
In his left hand. This catch saved the
day, as the next men up were easy
outs.
The game was practically a battle
of pitchers, with Fogarty and Beecher
competing. The Grand Forks twirler
had somewhat the best of it, allowing
only three dinky singles, as against
seven allowed by Beecher. Fogarty
was a trifie more philantrophic, how
ever, allowing five bases on balls, as
against none by his opponent. The
gifts were we'll scattered though, and
none Of them materialized into runs.
The Brownies made their two runs
In the third inning. Conmy took first
on OHara's miss of pitched ball,
and before the sphere was recovered,
was resting on the third corner. He
scored on Fogarty's single. Errors
by Brand and Sundheim advanced
Fogarty to third from whence he
came in on single by Leighty. The
others were outs
The visitors secured their lone run
on hit, fielder's choice An error
and an out.
