IVY p INNING the nomination for
NV Mayor over Captain McCar-
wv thy by 37A majority. after
Wv one OF the hottest campaigns
in the recent history OF the
city, Judge d. G. Richardson was the
centre of an enthusiastic gathering of
voters at Sanger Hall at a:so o'clock
this morning. and received q notable
ovation when he made brief speech
expressing his gratitude for the great
honor conferred upon him.
IT was Just ten minutes prior to this
hour when First Lee reported, this be-
ing the last precinct to come in. It's
unofficial figures had been secured oy
telephone, however, and the result was
known long before it was definitely an
nounced from the stage. Judge Rlch-
ardson may indeed be said to have fair
ly swept the city.
He carried six out OF seven wards,
and sixteen out of the twenty-four
precincts, and considering the fact that
hut 5.612 votes were cast, his majority
is considered large.
The Richardson supporters were ap-
parently much more active and pouy-
ant throughout the day than We're the
Mayors followers. and when hundreds
of. them pushed and edged their way
| into Sanger Hall last night to hear tho
returns. they behaved like men who
felt that their leader had Won. Thoush
there was a great deal Of Richardson
enthusiasm during the entire evening,
and, In fact up to the time the noml-
nee made his brief speech this morn
ing, no unkind word was heard con-
corning the Mayor, whose flag fell
after game fight. and who up to the
final hours of the struggle seemed to
be confident OF victory.
Tho victory of Judge Richardson,
which was complete. was apparently
accomplished within the past thirty

and finally swept him on to triumph.
When he spoke last night he was to
all appearances deeply impressed with
the responsibilities which his new
Ihonors would bring him, and he made
no attempt to conceal this fact, either
by manner or word.
Judge Richardson started out with a
lead over the Mayor when the first
precinct reported, shortly before 10
o'clock, anu he never lost 1t for a mo-
ment, up to the hour when Chairman
Doherty presented him to the enthusi-
astic audience before him as the next
Mayor OF Richmond. The committee
had figured out that he hSd net ma

Base Ball Notes.

Dawson was injured in the last
game with Hope having his knee bad
ly wrenched and will be out of the
game for some time.
1t seems a shame that the home
team have to be handed lemons all
the time. The last one was Gunlack
who has caught the last game with
Hope apd Brockett- When a team
vii. keep q good catcher like Tucker
out of the game and substitute one
like Gunlack there is certainly some
thing wrong.
Martin who has been out of the
game for several days got back in
Sunday and played steady game at
second. His shoulder is still lame
though.
1t certainly looks good to see Harry
Shaulis back in Devils Lake uni:
form. He played against Hope and
Brockett and did nice work. i
Barrickman is laid up with lame
leg that he got In the Sunday game.

Saturday Afternoon Game.


The Brockett bunch arrived Satur-
day and attempted to do thingsH to the
locals and they were lucky enough to
carry off the big end of the first game
by score of to 3. They have been
beating pretty nearly everything in
the country and were confident of TAX
ing fall out of the locals. With Daw-
son out of the game the boys don't
seem to have the same vim and ginger
that they display when he is with
them. Geo. Chaffee was substituted
for Dawson and he made several bad
fumbles but this was not the cause
of the locals losing the game With
the expection of Prichard the locals
were unable to connect with the ball
while the Brockett team hit almost
anything that was thrown. We do
hate to see bunch of ball players who
can't. play little bit come here and
let good strikes over the center Of
the plate pass them and then strike at
wild ball and knock it out of the
lot. This is what the Brockett bunch
did. Gardner was pitching the game
and he cut the pan for them on the
first two balls and they would miss it
mile and then would throw a wide
one for teaser and they would swing
on it and get safe hit every time
it was needed.

Saturday Evening Game.

Brockett took the second game of
the series by score of 5 to 2. They
certainly are a lucky bunch and every
one of them have a horse shoe hung
around their neck. Up to the, seventh
inning they were beat then tney came
to bat and won the game. Some more
OF their wild hitting did the work and
they certainly are the 1uckjest bunch
that way that has ever PLAYED on the
home grounds Lake pitched for the
locals and had mem guessing all the
time but of course every time that he
would throw wild one some nc of
the bunch would reach out tt-'r bu
and hit it for a safe one.

Sunday Game.

Well the home team got in the game
Sunday afternoon and the way that
they did things to that Brockett
bunch was a caution. The Brockett
team played their strongest game but
they must have left their horseshoes
at the hotel for they did not play in
luck all the way through like the two
previous games. They had to hit the
ball, at the right time; Gardner was
pitching and all they could do was fan
the air. They we're beaten to the
tune Of ) to 2, and they were pretty
lucky to get those two. The home
boys played good ball and got some
where near their regular form and
when they are right there are few
teams in this section of the state
that can trim them the way the Brock
EFT bunch of corner lot players did.

Camp Peary in Ohio on August 14th.
A crew of men have been at work

in improvements at the range and
when they meet here on the above
, mentioned date they will shoot on one
of the finest ranges in the northwest.

FRIDAYS Game,

One big Indian by the name of Roy
was the cause of the downfall of the
home boys in the last game with Hope
and for six innings he had them CON-
pletely at his mercy and struck out
the batters as fast as they came up
to the plate. Captain Dawson was
hurt in the game and will be out for
several days and in fact the whole
tea mare badly crippled up. Gunlack,
the catcher who was added to the list
made a sorrowful showing in the
game. The Hope team are the fast
est bunch that has been here this year
and took two out of the three games.
