The Grand Forks club finished the schedule in grand

In pulling out of last place the Dacotahs have done all that
could be expected to them and several bushels of credit are
due the boys for their excellent showing at the tag end of
the season. That the fans in general are pleased with the
showing made by the Grand Forks club in the last of the
seasons games is indicated in the numerous compliments
that may be heard for the boys on every hand today.
Grand Forks was glad to have organized baseball
this year; pleased to have a team whether the close of the
year found the club at the top or at the bottom. Grand
Forks has been loyal all the way and now that the games
are over and the third position has been secured against
seemingly almost insurnountable odds at times. there is
no little rejoicing in the village and the praises of the re-
spectlve players are being sung from every nook and cor

to keep out OF the cellar brings out public sentiment in ia

that next season will find the Dacotahs in the game again
