Three GAMES

Beach Loses Aea1t.Breaking Games
to Dickinson and Wibaux-.. Wins
One from Dickinson Easily
The best exhibition Of baseball
seen in this city this year was
given at the bali park yesterday
forenoon. the contending teams
being Wibaux and Beach.
Beach lost. but just the same it
was a mighty good game, full of
good, snappy plays and ginger.
Double plays were as common
as automobiles Interest in the
contest never tagged for moment,
and it was anybody's game until
the last man was down in the last
half of the ninth inning. Incl
dentally the Wibaux sports won
back some of that big supply Of
velvet which the Beach boys have
been handling since the opening
Of the season. and now it is up to
our bali tossers to win it back
again or we will be forced to the
extremity Of putting up our own
money hereafter.
One fellow by the name Of Bill
lings ia pseudony,2 we feel certain)
idd the hea:ing for Nibaux and
he was a pretty good hand at sucS,
work, too. Our own Tower put
'em across for Beach. Howard be-
ing the receptacle. lhe battery
work was especially good and for
seven short sharp innings not a
soul from Wibaux succeeded in
getting in from third corner with
a score. In the eighth they fell
on Towers delivery for a couple Of
runs. tying the score. Beach having
previously accumulated tina:
many. and in the ninth the Mon
tana mavericks batted in a couple
more runs. that being the way the
thing stoo;! at the end Of the
game.
Beach is still: ore game ahead
Of the foreigners but there must
lie something doing soor as va
are about half out of money and
winter is coming on. Too much
of this sort Of thing is going to
be enough first thing we a., know.
The Beach baseoaiiists went to
Dickinson Sunday and played the
husky bunch Of that place the best
game Of the season. To lose such
a game was no disgrace. but as
matter Of fact, Dickinson people
themselves said that it should
have been a tie-that one Of the
scores credited to Dickinson
should not have been so credited.
Tower and Howard were in the
points for Beach, while the re-.
doubtable Nelson was on the mound.
for Dickinson. That Nelson is
some pitcher probably the best
one working in North Dakota this
season. At that Beach secured
six hits off him, while Tower was
more stingy. But Nelson won
his own game with a terrific line
drive to the fence, scoring two
other players and himself. The
ball was fielded in good shape.
and Nelson thrown out at the plate,
but the umpire said nay. His
ruling on the play did not exactly
suit the good people of Dickin-
son, who are not in favor of raw
deals all of the time. and ex-
pressed their disapproval to some
purpose, for the ump. was taken
off the field and another man with
two good eyes substituted.
Tower pitched good. heady
game throughout, and with the
exception of one soft spot in the
infe]d. was we'll supported.
The score was 8 to 2, in favor
Of Dickinson. Som, Of ou: boys
came home with lighter pockets
than they took away, nut they
had their moneys worth Of good
game.
On Monday, with Spore and
Howard working in the points.
the Beach team took Dickinson to
good trimming, the score being
Z to /. Dickinson got the | end.
But it was Sundays game that
was hard to lose.
The boys say that the attend
ance at Dickinson is not what it
should be for town of it's size,
: not being nearly as good as Beach
furnishes.
Guess Well all be glad when
that merry-go.round is gone. As
a pestiferous nuisance it is surely
entitled to the palm. Beach.
