REAL BASEBALL
Maroons Make Grand Forks
Look Like Tag End of
Misspent Life.
WE R
Fans Pretty Well Disguised
With Work of Home
Club This Week..

(By "Hank.")
The collection Of somnambuiists
that is representing Grand Forks IN
the C.. l. league at the present writing
was defeated at Dacotak park yester-
day afternoon by Jim Browns base
ball players. The score was Z to O..
The Dacotahs were outplayed IN
every department of the game. Their
work was ~listless and entirely unsat-
isfactory, while Winnipeg attended to
business and furnished the fans with
the only amusement of the day.
Young Bill Norton. the university
law student, who pitched the day of
the famous arrest and who won that
time through good pitching and gilt
edge support, occupied the mound for
the home club yesterday. The Ma
ICONS secured twelve hits off his de-
livery. Hasty and McMurdo each Sc
cured a two-bagger. Clotheir took
two three-baggers and Freer and Nc
Murdo each got in for one.
Hirch Throws Well. .
Hirsch pitched for Winnipeg. He
worked splendidly and to all appear
ances WAS warming up instead of
wearing out at the close of the game.
He is a great. big. husky boy. He per-
forms in an attractive name and
the fans enjoy watching his delivery.
He certainly gives promise of amount
ing to a whole lot later on. Hirsch's
efforts yesterday We're a pleasant fea-
ture of a gloomy game And then.
he was given good support.
Van Dine obtained three of Grand
Forks eight hits. He also brought
in two of the three measlc, scores.
He is credited with a triple and two
singles.
Grand Forks was easily outclased
Yesterday and the team that faced
Norton did not compare with the visit
ors that lined up against him on that
%eventful Sunday two weeks ago,
when Grand Forks captured the bat
tie.
Yesterdays exhibition of poor ball
playing on the part of the Dacotahs
indicates that the Lohr bunch has got
to take q decided brace before long
or they will be sent to the cellar for
an extended visit.
The Dacotahs are too slow.
They walk on and off the diamond
as though they had A week to play
sionally Whiteside and Jerry Ed
lnonds attempt to create a little en-
thusiasm in the ranks. but the chilly
atmosphere that hreezes from the re-
lnainder of the herd apparently
drives them to shelter. The Grand
Forks club has been minus ginger so
far this year and they can bank on
being the tail enders when the final
checkup comes unless they warm up
to the occasion which right now
means Il whole lot to the box Office
as we'll as to the league in general.
Tush. Tush. Tush.
There has been a continual howl
about Grand Forks playing in hard
luck. That's mighty kind of the fans
that feel that way and the idea
should be appreciated by those in
need of such comfort. but when 1t
comes down to brass tacks. Grand
Forks has lost most of it's games be-
cause it was up against a better team
n an assortment of nine men that
played ball every minute. The other
teams that oppose the Dacotahs have
tough chances in the field and at the
stick as we'll as anybody else. but
somehow or other-and it's because
they know how to play ball-they
manage to pull out ahead.
It's mighty good stuff to boost a
baseball team and we are willing to
do our share. but the Dacotahs have
got to get down to business. If they
want to keep their happy home in
Grand Forks. n that's all there is
to it.
The score:
