Baseball. BASEBALL. all the
way from the first ball pitched to the
inal figure in the official scorers
ook. and from B to the last L. was
he sample Of the national pastime
assed out for the inspection of tho
and fannerettes yesterday after
noon. when the Grand Forks p played
here for the first time and gave those
who had gathered from far and near
to pass judgment on Frank Lohr's
selection. a nice warm little feeling
for that worthy in spite of the wealth.

Yes. nearly forgot about that part Of
it, the score was Z to 0 in favor of
the Grand Forks 70.
Some Inield Quartet.
Hollinger. Straine. Bell and Van
Dine! Sounds like a college yell when
you say it fast. but you can't say It
fast enough to get ahead Of that quar-
tet. Talk about an in1eld. Say, when
the spheroid was projected onto any
part Of the diamond. one Of the bunch
was Johnny at the knothole. The
fans that saw them work. were some
what too chilled by the weather to
give vent to real enthusiasm. but jot
it in the fan book. that when that
bunch falls down to juggling the bulb,
there will be frost on the key hole in
the satanic palace.
Jerry Edmonds-that will be a
name to think about. dream about,
talk about. and sing about. this sum-
nler. For a nifty backstop who uses
to use. leave it to Jerry. The goods
indeed. Percival. you haven't goods
as wide as he has in your whole On
tario stock.
Only One Pitcher Used.
Wild Bill Donovan, Langrell and
Sherman didn't get much of a chance
to show up their speed in the outfield,
as the Picketts couldn't connect with
sufficient fervor. to elevate the globule
to the vast reaches of the outer gar
dens. However. l.angrell smothered
a fly in the sun field near the end OF
the game. and did it like Andy Car
negie on the check signing job. per-
fectly natural, easiest thing in the
world.
Contrary to expectations Lohr only
used one pitcher, Wenzel. Six others
Ehivered on the bench, waiting for a
chance to get in. but nix, Wenzel was
slightly out of his element. element

pulled u of tight places that looked
as though the goose egg OF the sign
board might he changed.
Picketts Out Strong.
The Pic'-"s had one of the strong
est lineups that they have scattered
or the local field in some few moons.

Enough of the e~ulogizing. the fans
who saw the first game Of the Grand

turned out for the pastiming yester-
day are wise. The rest of the bugs

By the way. it might be said that
Norton. who adorned the mound for
est little games in his baseball exist

tale might be a little different.
The first inning was a one, two,
three exhibition. neither side getting
a man to the first station. Twas in
the second canto that the rs opened
up. Van Dine started it with a sin

on a 1elder's choice. Van Dine being
