UNIVERSITY GIRLS
WON BASKET BALL
GAME
Played Yesterday Afternoon in
U. Armory Amid Great
Enthusiasm.

The young ladies' basket ball team
of the Valley City normal played a
return game with the university at
the armory yesterday. The game was
fast enc throughout. and the spec
tators were very liberal with their
cheering for numerous spectacular
plays on both sides. Professionals
from the city who witnessed the game
pronounce it the fastest girls game
seen here for some time. There were
only few fouls called and these
were quite evenly divided between
the two teams.
All of the players showed the re-
suits of careful and thorough train
ing. The two centers played the
strongest game, and these players
seemed evenly matched. The normal
aggregation were at some disadvan-
tage in the somewhat low and rather
narrow armory. The university team
having trained in the armory was at
a corresponding disadvantage when
playing in the high, spacious gymna-
SUM at the normal recently.
The score at the end of the first
half was II to in the varsitys
favor, and 20 to Is at the end of
the game.
The lineup was as follows:

Last Years Harvest Time

Pretty hot but fine weather for the
wheat. Considerable wheat will be cut
this week and everybody will be at it
next week. Owing to the showery
weather haying has run into harvest
time.-Pioneer Express, Aug. 10th, 1906.
Harvest operations have been pushed
to the fullest extent this week, and
many who thought grain was to green, to
cut and delayed beginning, are now rush
ing things to keep it from Smelling.
Reports from the southern part of the
county show that the severe heat OF the
last ten days together with the excessive
rainfall has forced the ripening at the
expense of the filling heads, and therel Y
reduce the yield. This is not so much
the case in the northern part of the
county where the rainfall has been less.

"Bace Bawl"

When in the course Of human events
1t becomes necessary for one set of '.has
beens" to dissolve the ties of friendship
heretofore existing between themselves
and another set of "once- weres," and to
assume the beligerencies implied in a
baseball game, then decent respect
to the opinions of man and woman kind
impels the reporter to declare the causes,
mishaps and other catastrophes con-
nected Herewith. Hence
At the line up the distinction between
the "Mareyed Marturs" and the "Loan-
sum Lobsturs' was very apparent. The
former having somebody in the family
used to sewing, were each dressed in a
picturesque uniform of peculiar calico,
of the pinafore variety with a faint
suggestion of having omitted to tuck
their shirts inside the pants when dress
ingD
On the other hand land legs the lob
sters were uniformly irregular in cos
tune, showing that they had to do some
hustling for suitable suits. Postmaster
Cavalier speciality was his grandfather
coat. 1t is of bright-fgured, Scotch
plaid, Robert-tailed. and in its nearly a
century Of life, probably never had to
stand bigger strain than on Tuesday
evening, when it tried to cover Ned's
agility avoirdunois and the f,antar f3eld
all at once. A nice little derby and
some imported whiskers gave him a
Celtic look. Some Of the boys had pill
lows to help out the bay window effect,
but E. X. didn't. BIZ
City Marshal Akers' tall and impos.
ing figure was draped in Turkey red
pink pajamas. They were cut decollette
rs to ankles and showed the embroidery
on his under-ware in very dainty man
ner. He wore peek-a-boo stockings

Mr.. Harry Horr's wife has been ser

three weeks ago from her bridal tour.
She has typhoid, but we are glad to say
she is somewhat improved from what

mother, Mrs. Anderson of Grafton, has
been with her part of the time. She is

ment nor needed the frantic shouts Of
onlookers until he had plaster models
of his footsteps nearly the whole length.
During this exciting episode, contractor
Patterson and his men were taking an
ice-cream-soda in the adjoining restaur-
ant. Strange to say the ice-cream did
not seem to have the cooling effect an
ticipated by "Pat" when he went in.
The heaviest rain, wind and lightning
storm passed over Bathgate, Saturday,
of the season. Two barns were struck
by lightning, G. P. Austin, one mile
north of town, had his barn struck
about noon. The bolt hit the ventila-
tor and ran down the rafters to the side,
then down the studding to the ground.
There were a lot of horses in the barn
but none were killed. Some had not
recovered from the effects of the shock
at night. The building did not catch
fire. William Cation living one and a
half miles southeast of town had his
barn struck and one horse killed. The
building did not burn. There was lit
tie hail but it did no damage that can
be seen this morning.-Herald.
On Thursday and Friday of last week
our base ball boys participated in the
Tournament held at Cavalier, while not
as successful as could be hoped for, they
nevertheless succeeded in dividing Sec
ond honor with the Cavalier boys. On
Thursday Cavalier defeated Crystal SO
and Hensel defeated Pembina S.5. On
the second day Pembina defeated Cry
stall 81 and Hensel defeated Cavalier so
The long drive to Crystal IN the
morning and an hour and half spent
in the hot sun awaiting the arrival of
the Hensel team on the grounds kept
our boys from playing their usual game
Thursday, eleven errors being chalked
up against them. Neither pitcher had
any the better of the other but the err
rors of the Pembina boys lost them the
game. On the. second day they redeem
ed themselves in a fitting manner.
Every man on the team played the best
ball he knew how and Pembina had
Crystal beaten from the start, Crystals
only score coming when j. Conmy hit a
batter with the bases full thus forcing
in score. The boys hit and run bases
in their old time form and convinced
the spectators that the exhibition they
gave on Thursday was not usual &C.

and also dispensed with any pillow effect
as to frontage, though many Of the fans
thought he had one. When running
bases he looked like we'll il you would
paint the little windmill on the gas
house red and then let it 60 in high
wind-that's it.
Geo. Parker stood in the middle dis
lance with huge ILL., on the bosom
of his blue union suit, and we heard
some of the girls discussing, on the
grand stand, as to whether the letters
stood for his "Long Legs" Loyal Lee
gion" or Loved and Lost"
Bert Fowler grew huge red head for
the occasion, but it was no good because
when it came his turn to be the "batty"
he was never ready to hit the ball until
it was in the hands of the catcher-so
wasn't even a good fouler.
Mail Clerk Tenney being familiar
with the sacks made good between the
bases and would have made some runs
except that the force of habit made him
stop to lift each bag to see if it was over
weight--and he wanted to stamp "due
two cents" on the first base because he
was two feet short of the base when the
ball got there.
'Av coorse Kelly slld-and had greas-
ed himself for the occasion-which call
ed for decision of the umpire,-but
probably for the same reason he could
not hold the ball.
Hagberg was very base at the first
base. If he had been provided with
step ladder to reach the over throws.
then this would have been a different
story; that is he should. have been
story higher to reach 'em.
That's all-except Printer Lowe who
acted AS pitcher, short stop and first
baseman all at once most of the time.
He tried hard to make several weeping
widows, but didn't quite succeed in any
one case, but public feeling among the
married women is so great that he will
leave town tomorrow for good, though
all the young unmarried ladies seemed
to think that Lowe was all right,-de-
ponds upon the point of view apparent
ly.
Jack Mitchell was substitute, but
all he did was to foot, He makes
good tutor.
Ole Ander was selected as umpire be-
cause he knew so little about the game.
He plays in the first nine. Hisdecisions
were of the Solomon sort in every case.
When pitcher Lowe trie to kill drug
gist Shaw there was question whether
the ball hit Shaw's head or his bat.
From the sound it was simply a matter
whether it was oakor basswood::that was
hit, and Tom was given his base amid
the plaudits of the multitude.
THE FEATURES OF THE GAME
From grand-stand- point most of the
features were rugged, but occasionally
smooth play relieved the landscape.
First base was generally "safe' and the
second base twice as much. Supt.
Sherarts as pitcher for the Marturs in
his decolettedipant .legs..and shirt-sleeves
looked too sweet for anything, and if he
had succeeded in imparting his graceful
curves to his pitched balls, they would
have circled around the home base and
returned to him like an Australian

citizens there. Owing to his age it is
probable that he will receive . reform
