The Colored Gophers from St.
Paul are with US this week, playing
q series Of six games.
The Gophers have a strong aggre.
cation Of ball players, and at the
first game played Saturday night, it
looked as If Minot was not going Ito
get a look in.
McGarry, the Alexandria pitcher,
who arrived to play with the Magi-
clans, was in the box, with Dewey
catching. Everything seemed to &c
wrong, just at the wrong time. The
coons hit the ball right on the nose
at the most critical time, and just
when Evans ought to have hung onto
that fly, he dropped it. With two
men out in the fifth inning, and with
two strikes on the third man, Dewey
dropped the tip fowl, and afterwards
the batter started the colored merry
go-round, and there was just one
black streak around that diamond =.
The visitors ran in seven scores that
inning.
OF course we could never win d
game that way, and the Gophers took
the game II to 1.
