Winnipeg. Man, June S.-Despite
some high class work by Col. Jinx.
who was out for a new record. James
succeeded i'm breaking the hoodoo
which has beer following them for
some time by decorating the Grand
Forks squad with Il dictate for
the first time this season. 1t was an
other air tight contest, which has
featured the present series between
the two teams. i'm which victory was
not assured until the last ball was
thrown i'm the ninth. .
1t was the first victory i'm n week Of
gener"us pastiming and as three OF
the losses were by one run and an
other game ended in Il draw. it was
about time that the locals got on the
large n of a one run victory which
seems to he the fashion of the teams
just now.
Widest in Captivity.
There was plenty to enthuse over.
though it might be added that a slim
fellow who travels under the name
of Shocks n was selected by Fran
els Lohr to do the slabbing for the
Deacons was in a generous mood and
Insisted Winnipeg very materially. in
ow was about the widest thing that
has been seen out of captivity in
these parts for many a day. He simp-
ly could not find the plate and was
nearly always in trouble in holding
back the local athletes from crossing
the rubber.
This generous guy issued no less
n besides did some very weird
fielding. which helped considerably
for the local brigade.
-.s Forgot How.
But he was not nearly so gener-
GUS with hits. yielding but two safe
drives. but both of them featured in
the scoring Of the Brownies. The
home athletes got so used t. waiting
for him to put the ball over the plate
had forgotten how to hit the pill on
the nose.
But some star fielding stunts by
Messrs. Def1aven and Bell, who hang
around the second base for the
l'orkers. helped the wild man con-
siderably. as these men cut off runs
at the plate and stopped several like
ly rallies by some very nifty fielding.
while a lucky stop of Hasty's terrific
drive by the pitcher. the ball simply
hitting him. also prevented two runs
and made it possible for the visitors
to he within striking distance of VIC
tory at the finish.
Got Away Good.
n D%acotahs got away to their
usual good start by counting a run
in the first after it looked as if they
would not count. Two were down
when DeHaven doubled to right. Nc
Quarry got in a hole with Hyser
and had to lay the ball right over and
the center fielder drove it over F'rer's
head for three bags, scoring his cap
tain. The locals threatened in both
the first and second rounds. Freer
was run down at the plate in the
first n in the second Clothier was
left stranded on second.
Sec What Shocks Did.
The third round proved the undo
ing of the visitors. McQuarry opened
with a walk and Sturgeon neatly sac
riiced. Freer also drew free trans
portation. McMurdo could not drive
the ball past the pitcher. who heav-
ed high to third base and all hands
were safe. Kirkhan,. after waiting
for a good one. drove the ball to CEN
ter field on a line and two runs
scored. MacMurdo making third a
minute after. when the pitcher made
a wild pitch. Kruger going to first
on the play as he struck at the ball
for his third strike, he going as far
as second base.
DeHavcn Stopped 1t.
DeHaNen stopped the. Winnipeg
rally when lie pulled off the hidden
ball trick on Kruger after capturing
a short fly from Altman's bat.
h Brownies annexed what proved
the winning run in the fourth.
Hasty walked after one was down.
McQuarry advanced him a base on
an out n Sturgeon also walked, but
Freer put out a Texas Lacquer to
