Upwards of one hundred from
Eveleth and a constingent of Vir.
ginia fans went to Hibbing on a
Great Northern special Sunday to
witness a double-header between
the Eveleth and Hibbing ball
teams, the games showing an even
break. Hibbing winning the first
by a score of 4 to 2 while Eveleth
won the second by score of 10 to Z.
The features of the game were
the umpiring by "Red" Douohue,
and the two home runs by Booth,
of the Hibbing team. While these
two drives brought in three scores
to the credit Of Hibbing Booths
work did not count Pt all in com.
parison to the work of the umpire,
which was fully up to the Hibbing
standard.
The two teams again engage in
combat at the Eveleth park to.
morrow and Sunday, and it is like.
~ a number of Virginians will be
among the spectators at either
game.
