Once only in the nine frames were
the home batters in danger of scor-
ing, though man was on Zeider's
corner three or four different times
with two out, and that was in the
third when the Maroons punched err
rors. Bond, however, held the key to
the situation and there was nothing
doing-for Grand Forks. That nine
men at bat for total of 80 times
should be unable to make one single
safe hit, seems rather peculiar. If
it does nothing else it evidences
great need of batting practice on the
part of the Brownies.
The final score was to 0. Alto
sether the game was an interesting
one and the small coterie of fans that
braved the elements enjoyed them
selves between the thaws and freezes.

&; CHANCE !!e foR a' 4 Dull pupil:
Educational Experiment Which Has
Solved Most vexing Modern
Problem.

The superintendent of the schools
OF Batavia, N. Y, has apparently
solved one of the most vexing ques-
tions which have to do with modern
education. It is realization of the
Pestalozzian theory that each pupil
has right to be educated personally
for what he can best achieve. For
many years it has been charged
against the public school system that
the standards were set for the clever
pupils to the detriment Of the back
ward and dull ones. II the Batavia
experiment." as it is called, proves
after long trial to do what it is hoped
1t will then primary education will
be infinitely bettered.
Mr.. Kennedy, the originator Of the
scheme, proposed to the governing
board Of Batavia to procure the serv-
ices of an extra teacher for each
room whose duty it should be not to
listen to recitations, but to help and
encourage any pupils who were fall
ing behind the class. 1t was to be
entirely work Of sympathy and de.
manded great tact and discernment.
The plan was tried in single room
and the result was so marked in both
pupils and teachers that the expert.
ment has spread rapidly and is being
introduced in all the better schools
In the United States.
Its value can not be overestimated.
The teachers are stimulated to do less
nagging, while the pupils themselves
are relieved from going beyond their
ability and strength. And the effect
on health of the children was also
marked. No books were taken home
for night study and six times the
number of pupils remained to gradu-
ate from the high school.

Notes.
Three double plays in one game is
not SO slow.
Umpire Bassen was a trifle wild on
balls and strikes.
Several times with the home bunch
it was case of too many men trying
to field the same ball.
Varco had another bad day of it at
the second corner, making total of
three errors and no hits.
Bushelman's strikeout record was
better than Bonds, but the Canuck
batters Strengthened out his curves
rather frequently.

erly cover first for Luderus in the

seventh was responsible for the third
score made by the Maroons. He was
also slow in covering in the inning
previous.
Piper's one-hand catch of Luderus'
sharp drive between center and right
field was peach and won applause
: from the stands and bleachers. Piper
was formerly a circus performer and
was simply reverting to his previous
vocation.
Otis hoodoo is still following him.
He had one of his fingers disjointed
in the fourth and was unable to COM
plete the game. Manager Mcneil. who
is no novice in the catchers' position,
donned the mask and caught the re-
naming five innings.
One of Pipers hits was a scratch,
the ball rolling slowly toward third
outside the line and then hitting
chunk of mud, rolled into the diamond,
thereby becoming fair ball. 1t was
too late by then for Harris to make
an out

The game which was to have been
played at Fargo today between the
university and agricultural college
ball teams was called off on account
of too much rain. 1t was storming in
Fargo last evening when the A. C.

that it would be better to postpone the
contest
To Harold Bond. the ex-Tiger, be-
longs the honor of pitching the first
no-hit game of the season in Northern
Copper Country league, and so far as
can be discovered. in any league in the
country. A peculiar note in this con-
nection is that Bond stated to Capt.
Zeider just before the game that he
was feeling out of repair and DESTROYS
of giving way to another member of
the staff.
