NINE INNINGS AND.

SCORE.
Browns Lose Out to Duluth / to
0 in a Ten-1nning whirl-
An Excellent Game.

The best game of base ball seen
In Grand Forks this year was that of
Wednesday afternoon at Athletic Park,
when the home team lost in 10-inning
bout to the Duluth White sox.
Score: Duluth 1; Grand Forks O..
The pitchers for the respective teams
allowed total of five hits, Duluth
getting three and Grand Forks two.
OF passes there was but one and that
was donated Krick by Bushelman,
while but three errors were inscribed
upon that portion of the score book
devoted to the indicating of misplays
Duluth made two and Grand Forks one,
but none of them counted in the finals.
For seven long innings the contest
progressed without either team maxi
ing hit or run. In the Duluth
half of the ninth two hits-a single
and two Dagger were registered but
a neat double play spoiled Duluth's
chance In that round. Billy Hanrahan
Tor the Browns, however, made the
first hit of the game in the last half
OF the eighth. 1t was neat two
Dagger and with no one gone things
looked bright for the home crowd. A
sharp drive apparently safe. however,
fell kerplunk in Lynch's mits at thiru
and lightning whip to second caught
Hanrahan before he had time to seek
safety, thus completing double play.
At the close of the ninth round the
score stood nothing to nothing. In
the first of the tenth, Barto, for Du-
luth, in ducking ball which passed
rather close to his shoulders, stuck his
bat In the air as he lodged. The ball
hit the end of the bat fully foot and
half from his hands, but, by means
of excruciating contortions and sundry
grimaces and wringing of hands, he
was able to persuade his team-mate,
Treadway, who was officiating as
arbtter of balls and strikes, that he
had been hit. Despite the protest of
Captain Leighty and the grand stand
and bleechers. Barto was permitted to
occupy first. Bushelman struck out the
next two In succession and the third,
Cummings, hit safely into left field for
wv SoChSs SCOFluS bdrtO. hrlCk maze
an easy out. Treadway's decision lost
the game for Grand Forks. It may be
that he did not see whether the ball
struck the bat or Barto's ugly "gloms",
but as an umpire it was his business to
see, and he is therefore not entitled to
be excused. He followed this very
punk decision up with another in the
local half of the tenth when he called
the third strike on Harris, when the
ball was not only on the ground when
1t passed the batter, but according to a
dozen different persons who were sit
ting directly behind, did not even come
near the plate. There was but one man
gone and Luderus occupying second
where single would easily tie the
score, at this juncture. Hanrahan, next
up, made an easy >out and the game
was over.
With two rapid fire double plays and
fast work all round the fans present
certainly had run for their money.
The only marring feature, as above
Indicated, was the work of Treadway
in the tenth inning, but outside of that
there was nothing to complain of.
Fogarty changed of innings with
Treadway and his umpiring was very
generally satisfactory.
These heiroglyphics tell the tale but
feebly:
