Although the Driscoll team broke
their agreement and we're not present,
the tournament at this place last
week was nevertheless an entire sue
cess. We had hoped to have the Fort
Yates Indian team present from the
first; but, owing to a rush of govern
ment work at the agency, they we're
not able TO be here all OF the time.
However, they came Saturday even.
ing, and Sunday morning played an
exhibition game with Hazelton. The
teams which were regularly entered
in the tournament were Mandan, Ha-
zelton and Linton. The Mandan boys
were doubled up about equally with
Bismarck. and, although they did not
stand much show with the other
teams, they had a fairly strong aggre-
CATION. Hazelton was we'll loaded and
succeeded in dividing first money with
Linton. The Linton team was about
the same as at Pollock, except that
Mapes, . new man, was behind the
bat and Stember played center in
place OF Lynn. Clayton was in left
field in the first game and st. Johns
played the position the rest Of the
time. The lineup Of the home team
was as follows: Mapes, c; Flanagan
and Ellert, p and Do; Frcer, Id; Kohl,
Bio; Haas, SIS; Clayton and St. Johns,
II: Stember, cf; Streeter, RI. The first
game of the series was pulled off
Thursday afternoon at 3o'clock, Ha-
zelton and Linton being the opposing
teams. Ellert was in the box for Lin
ton, and Doty, the southpaw from St.
Cloud, Minn., did the twirling for the
Hazelton boys. 1t was an interesting
contest. Hazelton started the fun by
scoring twice on a single, q two-base
hit and three bagger in the first in
ming. Linton came back in the second

The Reds scored again in the third on

ror. This was the extent Of the scor-
ing. Friday morning Hazelton and
Mandan played, and the contest was
close until the seventh inning. Then
Hazelton took batting streak, and
this, combined with errors. gave them
the game by score of eight to three.
In the afternoon Mandan and Linton
met. Bert Casselman pitched for the
former and did good work until the
fifth inning, when combination Of
hits and errors gave Linton one score.
This was repeated in the sixth. When
the Mandan boys began to lose they
lost their nerve, and by the end Of the
eighth inning the score was l3 to L.
Mandan was saved from a Shut-out by
a two-base hit and an error on the
part Of the Linton catcher in the
eighth. Saturday afternoon Hazelton
and Mandan played their second game
This was another 0ne-sided contest.
Nierling was OH the slab for Hazelton
and Casselman and Dan Howard
worked for Mandan. The final score
was IL to ;. After this contest an ex-
hibition game was to have been played
between the Indians and Linton, but
the former did not arrive in time.
Sunday Linton played double-header
in the afternoon. Mandan was their
first opponent, and the game was .
0ne-sided affair. At the end OF the
seventh inning the score was II to 4,
and the game was called to give time
for the last contest of the tournament,
which was Immediately begun. This
last one was by far the best Of the
week. In fact it was the best game
ever played in this locality. Linton
was first to bat, and, althGakli Flan-
agan got to first, lie was caught be-
tween bases and tagged. In Hazelton's
half the first three men up were put
out. AS the game continued first one
side and then the other threatened to
score. However, up TO the ninth In
ing. neither side secured run. In
this inning Flanagan was thrown out
at the plate. In the last half Nierling
singled and DePuy and w. Batter
were put out. While the latter was
being thrown out at first, Nierling at
tempted to score. Seeing that he did
not have time to reach the plate, he
turned for third. Freer shot the ball
across and they had Nierling between
bases. The latter then dashed for
home. Kohl threw to Mapes, but the
ball hit the runner and Nierling
scored. There were many startling
plays made in this game. Ellert, Elan.
agan and Frcer pulled off couple Of
doubles that were daisies. Haas made
a one handed stop Of a fast one that
shut off score. Plowman did some
star fielding in center for Hazelton,
and Flanagan did some fast work al
second. The pitching of both Doty
and Ellert were features Of the game
Although Hazelton won the game BY
a score Of too, both teams may be
proud of their work
