Standing of the Clubs,

The Red River Power nine boosted
their average two games Friday night,
once by defeating the Kingman drugs
by score Of to 8, and the other by
having game allowed them by the
officials Of the league, for the time
that one of the teams defaulted the
early part Of the season.
The game Friday evening played at
the Pickett park, was hard fought
throughout and might have resulted in
a victory for the pill dispensers had
1T not been for pippin of one
handed catch that Bryan pulled of
in the fifth chapter. With one on
second base and two out the pellet
winged it's way toward the left field
fence. Bryan sprinted for the far
distance and plucked the sphere from
the atmosphere making one of the
nobbiest catches Of the season. The
score by innings:

JOHNSON WILL WORK
WHEN HE MEETS FLYNN

The first real work ahead Of john
son is match with Flynn, for Nc
Intosh believes that match between
the pair will draw as good as did
the Johnson-Burns contest of few
years ago. Flynn did a beautiful
stroke of business for himself when
he oeat AL Kaufman for he is we'll ad-
vertised all over the world and many
Australians regard him as the real
white hope" Over here we know
that Flynn cannot hope to cope with
johnson but he is a good game fell
low and will give the champion just
about as tough a tussle as any Of
them. After fighting Johnson, Flynn
will probably meet AL Kaufman be-
fore one Of McIntosh's clubs, and II
Kaufman can beat Flynn, then of
course he will be pitted against the
Texan.

M|NTO COMING

Revenge is What !, They Are

pared.

NIuuO-LQaCS II. Inc boys with the
hunch that they are going to excavate
large sized dent out of the Picketts
win-averags of the year, when with a
: force augmented from various sources,
headed by Chief Hoff, the Dutch In
dian, they will invade the sacred por-
tails Of the local Kohinoor ON Sunday.
Mimic took an awful walloping here
the fore part of the season, the score
reading IA to 4. They have never
gotten over 1t and it is claimed, mere
ly claimed, that the ears of the Minto-
ties still ring from that explosion
when Thompson blew up in the first
| part of the game and continued the
Fourth of July celebration all through
the farce until the eighth inning, when
he vanished from the mound.
Hoff the Indian twirler, is said to
! be there witt the goods and is sup
posed to have squeezed number Of
batting averages this year until they
looked like dilapidated sponges. It
may be that he will be able to put
some slants across but the team be-
hind him will have to brace up a few,
or his hefty twirlings will avail him
naught.
The bunch from the burg up the
line, from what can be learned, are
intending to swoop down here nine
fold, take the long end of a big score
and then gloat about 1t for ages to
come-maybe.
It might be added that Harold and
: Sherman Phelps, second base and
short stop, Of the Mimic nine are old
University of Wisconsin men, that
Evans who will adorn the left garden
is of the U. N. d. nine and that there
are several other classy performers on
the lineup.
Cosgriff formerly of the North Da-
kota All-Stars, who kept the third
! station in its place last Sunday for
the Picketts, will again decorate the
landscape at that plaza. There are
F.! several members of the White Sox
nine on the Pickett lineup, who have

'"Gentlemen of the jury, the best

turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that ne
has reared with loving care may be-
come ungrateful. Those who are near
est and dearest to us, those whom we
trust With our happiness and our
good name may become traitors to
their trust. The money that man has

ment Of ill-considered action. The

stant in his love as the sun in its
tourney through the heavens. If for
