Playing IN a gale. blowing As miles

Winnipeg in the Sunday afternoon

baseball and nobody did. The sur
prise of the afternoon. however, was
the big crowd. considering the weather
Almost 1000 paid admissions was the
record, the bleachers and srandstand
being filled to capacity n fifty au-
tomobiles were scattered over the
field.
Practically every ball raised to any
height was blown some place for a
hit. The fielders had as little chance
to Judge where the pill was going as
they have to tell who will be the re-
publican nominee, but like good party
men they made the best of their OPP
%portunities and ave the crowd all
they could and that's the best any
body can do.
Peg Started Ball Rolling.
Winnipeg started off by scoring one
in the first on W. singles and two
errors by Bell. Grand Forks tied it
up in their half by an error and a
hit.
Winnipeg got another in the second
on two singles and a passed ball by
Edmunds. Grand Forks evened things
up when Edmunds made three sacks
on an error by F'rcer, and Wilson sent
him in with a single.
In the third Grand Forks retired
the visitors with a snappy double play,
Wilson to DeHaven TO Foster. Grand
Forks failed to score in their half OF
the third.
In the fourth the Peggers fell on
Wilson for four singles and two two
basgers. scoring five runs and making
the total 6-2. The locals did not count
in their half of the fourth.
In the fifth Wilson was taken from
the box and Whiteside substituted

Seven in the Fifth.
In all the Peg secured seven runs in
the fifth. Grand Forks brought the
rooters to their feet in their half OF

runs. getting four singles and a three

work with a single, Hyzer scored him
with a triple, and Bell and Edmunds
singled and were scored by Donovan's

calls along to no small extent.
In the sixth the visitors tackled on
two more and the locals stayed al
their total of seven. Then Browns

the eighth and two in the ninth, max
ing their total nineteen.
Grand Forks started another batting
rally in the eighth which bade AIR to
result favorably for a time. Six runs

cleared away and for a time it looked
as though that awful total OF sixteen
would be equaled but some kicks of

locals never had a chance. 1t was a
rank baseball day, but the fans had
their moneys worth. watching the
men run bases. 1t was no place for
a fat man in that game.
