In a pitchers battle on the Fargo
college diamond yesterday Afternoon
the North Dakota Agricultural college
baseball team defeated Fargo college
In one OF the most exciting games OF
the year. A double by Captain Foss
followed by a single by Baker brought
In the only run made during the con-
test.
The game gave the A. c. the cham
ptonship of North Dakota and turned
the dope bucket completely over, as the
victors had not been conceded the
game by the popular opinion. Error
less ball Is what gave the game to
the aggies coupled with the phenome-
nal pitching by Baker.
The honors In the box were almost
even, although favoring Gardner of
Fargo college. Both men worked them
selves out Of bad holes at times and
with men on bases would give over a
couple Of strfkeouts, bringing the en-
thusiastic crowd to its feet.
Gardner of Fargo was all there dur
ing the entire game and tossed the pill
In big league style, Fourteen strike
outs were chalked up to his credit
and he flelded his position well.
Baker was the cause Of much adj
miration. The little A. c. man not
only won. his own game with a sim
gle In the fourth but worked himself
out Of some delicate places when men
were on third and second. He gave
eleven strikeouts and two compliment
taries to first.
There were several very critical mo-
ments during the game and both
Gardner and Baker shared the honors
In pulling their teams out OF the bad
holes. Foss did some fast backstop
work. Although the aggies played
class A ball, there were times when
luck favored them greatly, notably
when Rueber made grandstand Jug
gle out in center.
A. w. McNair umpired the game in
very satisfactory manner. His de-
cision In the eighth, however, when ha
called Slingsby's long drive to right.
