Well, what do you know about this
We really grabbed a game and a
good II at that.
However. let lis not spend all our
money in one place, but wait until
after the reports come in from the
Won. VIC can rejoice a bit and hope
for some mor of the same stuff to-
morrow.
After losing three straight to Win
nipeg, Grand Forks came back yes
terday afternoon and took a rather
warm exhibition by the interesting
count of | to O.
cor board and did not see the per-
forman.e. the result could hardly be
believed. However. it was true, par
adoNiral as it may nave seemed.
The Grand Forks team evinced the
fact that c;cry now and then 1t can
play hail. IF these now and thens''
will only come a little oftener things
will he looking up before long. Maybe
the Dacotail" have taken a brace. Let's
nope so anyway.
For oLrc at least the fans were fair
ly well satisfied with the exhibition
yesterday and Dacotah stock is in the
asc"ndenry about the village today.
If Grand Forks is fortunate enough
to retain tho playing gait reached yes
some good ball the remainder of the
at-hoMe games and tile bad taste
left i'm our mouths from some recent
perf"'rres entirely removed. How
ever. we shall see what we shall see.
The" Dacotahs will he up against an
other real team this evening. If they
win we will all get on the front seat
for that If they lose-bingo!
Grand Forks played an errorless
game yesterday. proving beyond !,
doubt that such Il performance is -
sihle. Up to this time there had beer
considerable question as to whethe:
this feat could be accomplished-by
the Dacotahs.
Brother snooks occupied the place
of honor at the head of the table and
served a square meal. Not long ago
this old kid walked twelve men at
Winnipeg. Isn't it strange what a
difference Just Il few hours make? 9"
Snoks was in trim yesterday all right
and allowed only three hits. striking
out two Maroons. OF course. he had

some reputation and he lived up to 1t
in fairly good shape Yesterday. maxi

pitchers all the way. McQuarrie per-
mitted only three hits, rivalling his
opponent on the mound in this re-
spert. He struck out four men.

Mercy, mercy" proved the high
elias performer of the day. His work
in the center garden was indeed sem
sational and he deserved a good sup
per last night if he ever did in his
life. And they do say that Jim Brown
would 90 without Il meal himself
rather than see Freer with a long,
lean, lanky. hungry look on his face.
Frcer yesterday accepted five chances
n didn't seem to swell up over it
either. He captured one from the
end of VanDine's bat that looked for
all the world as though it was going
to attend the Olympic games at
Stockholm. This ctfor certainly
saved n run. I'recr can Just about
