Games From Dickinson on
Wednesday and Thursday.
A second defeat was suffered on Sum-
day by the Dickinson ball team at
Beach, where a return game was played.
resulting in score Of 3 to / in favor of
the ''Giants'' of. the Golden Valley
country. Even at this it wac good
game and the Dickinson boys have no
reason to feel discouraged. The first
two scores for Beach. were secured
though errors. = =
Gibson and Howard furnished the bat
tefy for Dickinson. Erdman and Reed
for Beach. Gibson is a new pitcher
with the Dickinson team, coming up
from New England. but his work was
satisfactory in every way and it cannot
be said that it was his fault that our
boys did not win.
A good many thought that Gibson was
the better pitcher of the two and had he
had little more support the Dickinson
men would have taken the game easily
enough. Several times the bases were
filled and a safe hit would have put a
number of the Dickinson runners safely
owe: the home plate.
Beach made two scores in the second
inning and Pippin, for Dickinson, made
a stolen run in the fourth. Sturgeon
came up sixth to bat in the last of the
ninth inning and with bases full it
looked good for our boys. He hit safe,
as he had been doing before, but man
was caught at third and it was all over.
Gibson struck out 8 men and Erdman
-. Jack Fields umpired the game.
Some 900 to 700 attended the game, a
good many old timers like j. S. Bilyeu
and W. H. Rucker coming down from
Wibaux.

Another score was secured in the Sec
ond, then they were satisfied with goose
eggs until the seventh when four more
scores were landed.
To man the Dickinson team played
baseball, and made a good showing
against the professionals. Davis pitched
good game and Pippin played his
usual errofless game at first. Sturgeon
at Second and Robinson at third were
credited with swift and accurate
plays and few fys or grounders escaped
the new short stop, Pippin. Out in
the field Kostelecky, Wolverton and
Reilly were putting the heavy hitters
out in the one, two three order. In
the sixth inning Wolverton made two
dandy catches. in succession.
