HANKINSON TEAM
HAD GOOD RECORD

HanlSinson News: The baseball sea-
son has practically ended and II is
hardly likely that the Hankinson team
will play again this year. Not but
what they are ready FOR games, but
most of the salaried teams over the
state have disbanded and there are no
amateur teams in our class.
A few facts CLEANED from the score
book for the 1909 season will be OF In
terest to the lovers of the game.
Hankinson played seventeen games,
winning eleven and losing six. The six
games lost were all to semi profession
al teams-three to Wahpeton. two to
Valley City and one to Fargo Cubs.
Hankinson won in turn from Wahpe-
ton and the Fargo Cubs, so the only
team they played and did not win from
during the season was Valley City And
the Valley City games were lost by the
closest kind of scores to and to L.
The team defeated such stellar aggre-
cations as the ST. Paul Colored Co
piers, Swift Current and Elbow Lake.
Probably the most remarkable feat
of the years play was the record of
no-hit game against the Swift Cur
rent team. Rennix pitched remarkable
ball in this game and so far as we can
learn his no-hit record was not dupli-
Gated in the state during the season.
OF the seventeen games played, Rem
nix pitched 13, winning and losing 5 !,
Skattebol pitched 4, winning and
losing 1.
During the season the team made "a
runs and 100 hits; their opponents
made SO runs and ~ hits. Rennix
pitched 119 innings, and was hit safely
40 times; pretty consistent pitching,
that Skattebol pitched 81 innings and
was hit for 20 safeties.
Rennix also led the team in batting,
with an average of 1886; e. Green fol-
lows, with 325; c. Helm, 300: Grave,
240; Merrifeld, 221; r. Green, 220;
Pearce, I'll; Skattezol, 202; Steinfeldt,
1871; Roberts, 1872; Lyman, $50.
1t should be born in mind that all
but six of the games were played with
salaried teams, whereas the Hankin-
son team did not have a saIaried man
on it during the season. Considering
this fact, the seasons record is one to
bit proud of.

sherrard Wants Match.

Billy Sherrard, now OF Steele. writes
that he wants to meet any Fargo boxer
who can make 1873 at O'clock in the
he is matched to meet Jimmie Potts at
Lethbridge Thanksgiving day but
wants a bout earlier, and would prefer
some Fargo man. He also states he
will meet Jack Bennett of Fargo at
catch weights. He doesn't say whether
he will fight at clean breaks or straight
ruless. II he will make the latter the
style of the milling, probably Bennett
wouldn't hesitate TO muss up his
countenance
