Dust From the So Mile Gale
BY "EL1E'

Manager Stanchfield had a crew of
men at work OF the diamond during
the past week. and while the sod is
not in n best of shape. nevertheless
a big improvement was noticeable.
The work of leveling the grounds will
be continued at every opportunity and
a first class diamond will be the result
in due time.
Wilson made a clever play in the
second inning and got away from a
Fad hole. Hasty and Glass were both
on bases. Glass took a lead from
first n Wilson nipped him before
he could get back. retiring the side.
Not IL stolen base in the entire
game. The runners knew if the ball
nit, so they took no unnecessary
chances.
Grand Forks fans were disappoint-
ed for they wanted to see Wilson and
Whiteside work. In such a gale the
true measure of the men could not
be secured so it will be a case of
come again.
Grand Forks scored in the second
when two We're out and Edmunds had
three balls and two strikes called on
him. The next II the locel receiver
put over centertield's head and tool
three bases. Wilson scored him with
a single.
Manager Stanchtield will have a
gong and ~scoreboard ut the park,
probably for his afternoons game.
The gong will be rung at three o'clock,
when the visiting team has the field:
then again at 1915 for the home team
to practice and at $3.50 to call the
game.
McMurdo and Glass made a nice
play in the third. Van Dine put Il
grounder off first so McMurdo could
not get there in time. The Peg first
baseman however tossed the ball and
Glass. coming on the dead run, took
it for the out.
Umpire Hall had to use goggles to
keep the dust from interfering with
his decisions. On the whole his work
was satisfactory. although the fans
were wont to condemn him several
times. They probably did not figure
that the weather was a disadvantage
to his work as well as the players.
Freer and Altman both scored. but
were called out on third for skipping
the plate. Umpire Hall is rather strict
with the men-not u%njustly so by any
means-and there isn't much back
talk over his decisions by the players
of either team.

this time. but should it happen again,
he will be hung by the neck.
