At Albee.Milbank Game Wednesday
AfternOOn--.Was Hard Fought From
Start to Finish---Score 8 to 0 in Fa.
yor of Milbank.
3 toO!!!
! Milbank fans witnessed a bat
tie Wednesday that was not pub
lished or shouted to the four
winds.
In other words you can't tell
by the looks of a frog how far
it can leap-or what you will
find in an Albee base ball uni,
form on close inspection!
A.bee fans wanted to "whip"
the famous Milbank aggregation
and nothing was too high priced
for them-they hired Kilroy and
Spencer of St. Paul, and who are
American league, for their bat
terry. Kilroy did the twirling
and spencer ate 'em alive behind
the bat and tried to catch Rodg-
ers on second.
A good crowd was present and
the roofing done out-classed any,
thing ever attempted in the past.
Not one of Albee's players ev.
er touched the home plate. The
pitcher and catcher played an
heroic game, working at their
very best every minute, and the
way "Susie," as Milbank fans af-
fectonately christened the good
natured Albee catcher, would
sneak the ball down to second
was a caution. Some good bat
ting was done and govd fielding
was a feature.
But Milbank-and don't for
get the Indians who supplied
how they played ball. Port, the
pitcher didn't need any warming
up. He made himself known at
the very start. The Indian who
caught delivered the genuine
goods. 1t was amusing to watch
Sutcliffe and the Albee pitcher
grit their teeth at each other
the former having a most aggra-
waiting way of batting at least
half dozen fouls each time he
came to the plate. And Rodgers
the Indian was an enigma for
the Albee battery-he would
pester the life out of the pitcher
by knocking foul balls and then
he would tease "Susie" the
catcher, by sneaking away from
second and then the catcher
would work one of his clever
throws to second, but somehow
the Indian would beat the ball
every time. It was this same
Rogers who brought in the first
score for the home team, and he
was practically responsible for
bringing in another score.
| Phelan did some elegant field.
ing as did Sutcliffe. Milbank's s
fielding was superior to Albee's.
Pete Peschong saved Albee from
scoring one inning, when he
threw from RICH. field to Rodgers
on third, putting the runner out.
Two decisions were made by
the umpire. that were question:
able, but as one was against each
team the matter was dropped.
Rogers made q three base hit
off Kilroy.
Outside of q couple of disputes
the game was as hard fought as
any ever played in the city, and
both teams share equally in the
glory.
Each team had it's "rag-chew.
er" who showed more gift of CAB
than sense in the fact that they
would not abide by the decision
of the umpire without disputing
him. But then the game was
wort going miles to see.

places he naturally took observa
tlons of farming and made com
parisons with home conditions
and products, and he comes back
thoroughly vinced that Grant
county is ahead of them all. He
was as far south as Peoria, III. ,
and says that he did not see finer
corn than was raised right here
in Grant county this year. To
prove that we are also in the
fruit belt Mr.. Heffernan brought
in some specimens of apples,
which we're raised on his farm,
and which are as fine as can be
produced anywhere, and goes to
show that as more attention is
given to fruit raising it will
not be many years before Grant
county will be producing more
apples than will be required for
home consumption.

These surveyors say, however,
that in the whole county there are
91O square miles. This would
leave 522 square miles in the old
county. Now the Dillon people,
after all the surveying has been
finished, have secured a petition
for another amendment in the line
this amendment being taken to

county, Governor Ansel has ap-

from both sides on this question.

formal report to the commission

pie, was in Columbia and failed,
after making strenuous efforts to
secure a. copy of the report, al
though the surveyors had several
days previously sent in to the
commission a final statement of
their account for the work. 1t is
claimed that the commissioners
will not unnecessarily delay this
report; but as the survey was COM
pleted about a mo? tn ago, it is
difficult to understand why there
has been so much delay. If the
matter is still further delayed, un-
til after the date fixed by Cover

cradle disadvantage for lack of in
