experience for the fans to see the bat
tie which, by the way. was completed
IN one hour and thirty minutes. Every
inning developed some sensational
eaten or snappy baseball and the
small crowd of spectators were on the

Marsh Worked Good.
Umpire Marsh also was in good
tettle yesterday. being entirely fair
n impartial to both sides in his de.
clsions. Some OF the fans miscon-
strued the criticism of the umpires, in
the Evening Times of last night. The
criticism was not of Marsh personally.

Pitching STAFF Cool
Grand Forks has about as good a
hurting staff as any team i'm the
League. not even excepting Winnipeg.
Hirsch is rated as the best finger in
the See-Eye. but to date we haven't
seer where he has anything on Jarni-
gan or Morse, who have flung quite a
number Of two and three-hit games
against the heavy hitting teams. My
ers and Wilson also are there. and
with Myers picking up in his sticking
average as he has been lately, the To-
cal pitching staff are easily the best
bunch Of hitters in the league. What
the directors and players are looking
orWard to now is ext season. An
early start with a strong nucleus to
build a team around will put Grand
Forks up where they will make the
1913 race for the rag a strong one,
The interest in the game died here in
the past month but promises to revive
again and the team comes back
from their present swing on the cir
cult, provided they play half decent
BALL. they will be given a big reception
by the fans.
