The Linton base ball tournament for
the season of 1908 is a thing OF the
past. 1t was very successful from
from financial standpoint, but the
standing Of the clubs could have been
more favorable to the locals. AS it
was the hustling little town up north
cleaned up first money, allowing the
Lintonites to trail gracefully in their
dust. Napoleon followed Linton for
third and they were in turn followed
respectively by Pollock aud Fort
Yates. The final standing of the
clubs is about as was expected, with
the exception of the first two, and no
one seemed certain in choosing the
winner. The Linton team was
strengthened by the helpof Reams, of
Driscoll, at second, and Bauer, OF Me
dina, who has before worked with the
locals, behind the bat. Hazelton had
the noted s0uthpaw, Armstrong, from
South Dakota aud Trow, his regular
catcher; also MACPHERSON, Driscoll
man. at short. Napoleon had the
Driscoll battery with them, but did
not use them, as they were compelled
to leave suddenly by the news Of the
death Of their father. Pollock had
mostly . home team, and youngsters at
that. They had evidently had enough
of salaried ball teams last year. The
Fort Yates Indians were even weaker

finish.
