Somebody had better slip an alarm

but one that will let loose with
noise like million dollar fire alarm
as that exhibition Sunday when the
Picketts did the slam-around-run-
stunt, blanking the 'Boroites by g
big II to score, was like bunch
Of ), somnambulists trying to play
Hamlet" Not that there was much
sleeping at the switch, but there was
enough Of It. to let big bunch Of
hits get through.
The Pickett nine took on an alto
gether new aspect Sunday and the
Reorganization was nothing II not q
success. Thomas and Roy were MISS
ing from their accustomed places be-
hind the bat end topping the mound,
Ludwig adorned the bench, Hallett
is seeking other hunting grounds.
Conmy ia making an extended trip
out Of, the city. Spike Spanton stayed
In Grafton, and Evans was also on
the missing list.
Tiernay, who did the shoot-'em-
over work for the Picketts, while he
did not get more than four strike
outs, kept the Hillsboro hits down
and scattered through three different
innings. The only error pulled of
was one that Ted Schumacher drop
ped after pulling it out Of the azure.
The one glowing little star in the
baseball armament was Cosgriff.
This player embellished the third
station and was on the Job all Of the
time. His work was the neatest that
has been seen about that sandpile
on the local diamond this season.
Cosgriff, who is about 20 years of
age, played third base with the North
Dakota All-Stars, who disbanded at
Crookston last week. A friend on the
Pickett team inveigled him into the
game and his work at critical per-
iods saved runs for the Picketts and
helped in the shut out.
The first three innings were pulled
OF in an easy manner, neither team
getting score, although the locals
had 'assifttla4 better 5of he aFguunA4t,,f
The real celebration was held in the
fourth inning, when Ydstie put on an
aviation act. Eddie McIlraith started
his series of hits by singing, Farmer
belted long one to left field, where
it was obligingly dropped. Schumach-
er booted one to shortstop where it
was relayed home nabbing Farmer.
Thoreson and Tiernay went to first
by the contribution route, after Nc
Ilraith had rambled home on pass
ed bail. Shannon sacrificed. Cos
grin singled and Chandler doubled.
Result, four runs.
The fifth inning was continue
ton of the sketch. Hugh. McIlraith
extended sincere thanks for four
wide ones. stole second and hit the
high spots only, when brother Ed.
clouted two sacker. Farmer liked
the example and followed 1t, sending
the pellet on long flight to the
fence, scoring Ed McIlraith.
A brief. siesta was taken in the
sixth and then again in the seventh
things happened. Ed McIlraith. who
had been watching hole the size
Of Mammoth cave in the right field
fence, located 1t. He advanced to the
plate with business-like mind, swat
ted the ball right square on the bean,
and when the dust settled secure he
was seen on third base. Farmer
tried to equal the feat but fell short
BY one base. his two Dagger scoring
McIlraith. Shannon waited for few
which included q passed ball that
let the reuben to third and then con-
nected with the globule for nicely
placed single, scoring Farmer.
The last frame was a swat-swat-
swat story. Cosgriff swatted for q
single, Chandler ditto. Hugh Nell
raith tripled, scoring both men and
rambled homewards when Ed Nell
raith singled again.
