Even though Professor Francois
Lohr should not be able to secure any
more ball players this year the aggre-
cation that he has on hand should he
whipped n a formidable lighting
force. With the candidates that frol-
licked in merr sport with the Picketts
yesterday afternoon Grand Forks
should at least get a peep in this
season. We all hope for big things
and we may see the flag come this
Wayne telling.
Infield Very Fast.
Although the Grand Forks team has
not worked together for any length
of time. there are indications of really
excellent team work. Take the intield
for instance. on the third pile
we have none other than tina veteran
of numerous battles Brother Van
Dine: a PLAYER who uses his head. has
a nice wing and can hit. Van Dine
is expected to remain on the job
throughout the year.
Then at shor we have Ralph Bell.
who halls from Enderlin. this state.
and. like North Dakota. is certainly
a ONE Bell is not quite himself
yet. but each day finds him more like
the boy that has attracted attention of
managers for several wears. He is
fast in the field. pretty good on bases
and bats we'll.
Straine is Good.
On second We have this Young fell
low. Straine, a mighty good hitter. as
he evidenced Yesterday. and a proper
man for the job. He is lively and tina.
is half the business. Straine will no
continue with the professors
family and if he does we will prob
ably hear of him often and see his
name high up mons the hitters.

man to get him out of there. but
Sam Foster is out for the same berth
and there YOU are. Hollinger would
be q drawing card at any ball game.
He is bursting With pepper and pulls
off enough of that grand stand stuff
to tickle the ANS who like to witness
fancy work. However. his batting can
be improved upon and probably will

Edmonds Will Stay.
Edmonds. Who has been assigned a
job behind the bat. strikes YOU about
right after YOU have watched him
a minute. He is a keen observe
err of everything that goes on. He is

in the direction of third. He also has
a sort of comforting way of handing
the encouraging talk out to the pit

drearE and three men on the bags arc
to grab off a score or two.
Mcneil Willing.

one that the fans have had the op-

Mcneil is a big good-natured boy.

sorowful when he hits a batter. 1t
takes him a minute or two to warm
UP. but when he does get into the
game he has a fast ball ani Il curve
or to or three thai tire puzz'ers every
