The Pollock baseball tournament
for 1907 is now thing Of the past;
and, although Linton again carried of
the first prize, they we're treated to
several surprises. In the beginning It
looked like easy money for the Linton
boys, as they started out by beating
to the tune Of Is to o the team which
Pollock had gotten together. This
game was played Tuesday afternoon
and was the first surprise, the Pollock
team being composed almost entirely
of players secured from other towns
for the occasion. The Reds. however,
had batting streak and the Pollock
boys we're shy ON team work. Flan-
agan and Rhodes did the battery work
for the Reds, and Morwell, Erbe, Ru-
ziska and Rosendahl did the same for
Pollock. The score was as follows:

Wednesday morning Linton and
Hazelton crossed bats, and then came
two more surprises. The first man up
for Hazelton was hit, and, with .
stolen base and an error, scored. In
the fourth inning Nierling got a
square swipe at the ball, and by the
time the ball was returned Nierling
had circled the bases. The Reds were
not so very much worried, however,
at that time; but inning after inning
passed and they still had no scores.
Thus the game continued until the
seventh, at which time Linton symps.
thizers we're feeling somewhat nervous.
In the seventh the tension was broken,
however. Flanagan Was the first man
up and secured home run on hit to
right field. Ellert followed and
walked. Freer hit safely and Ellert
scored, tying the score. Rhodes got
out and Lynn reached first on an
error, Freer going to third. Petrie
struck out, with Lynn ON second.
Streeter singled, scoring Freer and
Lynn; Streeter going to second on .
throw to the plate. Streeter stole
third. Koll attempted to bunt, but
was thrown out at first. This ended
the scoring on both sides. Ellert and
Rhodes for Linton and Joss and Bat
ger for Hazelton were the batteries.

At 2 p. M. Wednesday the next
game was pulled of, and it was an ex-
tremely interesting exhibition. Pol
lock and the Indians were the con-
tenders. The boys from across the
river got start Of three runs In the
second inning. Pollock failed to score
until the seventh. when they made
one. The Indians made one, also, and
so their lead was unchanged. How
ever, in the ninth, Pollock braced up
and made a strong bid for the game.
By hits and errors they secured two
scores. The Dacotahs, however, stead
led down and retired the side while
still ahead. Duggan and White Eagle
were the battery for the Dacotahs and
Erbe and Rosendahl for Pollock. The
score:

At the close Of the Pollock-For
Yates game the Eureka and Pollock
kid teams crossed bats. The game was
close and exciting one, Eureka vim
ming IN the tenth inning by score Of
6 to 5.
Thursday morning the Reds re-
ceived their greatest surprise. They
went up against the Fort Yates boys.
| q team which they had twice beaten
before this year. Being short of Pitch
ers, First Baseman Freer went into
the box. He pitched good game,
but 1t was an of day for the Reds and
his support was poor. Three hits and
seven errors handed them defeat
by score Of 2 too ban Howard, who
pitched for the Indians, did the cham
pion twirling Of his life. His natural
great amount Of speed, aided by q
strong wind, made him invincible to
the Reds. The only chance the Lin
tonites had came in the eighth inning.
Streeter was up first and drove one
down the third-base line. In stopping
the ball, George Nelson, third-baseman
for the Indians, lost his balance and
threw wild to first. Streeter dashed
for second, but the ball struck negro
who was standing near first, on the
head, bounded back to the diamond,
and Streeter was thrown out at sec
ond, though it was close decision.
The score follows:
