The De Smet ball team won over
Willow Lakes at Bryant Wednesday
afternoon by a score of | too in the
10th inning. The game is said to
have been the best played in this
part of the state this year. 1t gives
the De Smet boys and their friends
great satisfaction because of the fact
that Willow Lakes had previously
defeated them twice, also because the
Willow Lakes management had
"loaded up" from WATERFOWL, Mime
apolis, and other points until there
were only two Willow Lakes players
in the team. The De Smet boys this
afternoon play an aggregation at Bry-
ant under the name of Hazel, but
consists of such noted professionals
af Hildebrant, who will hold down
the pitchers box, John Burns, one Of
the crack players of the old Volga
team, and others. We go to press to
! early to give the result.
