How the Clubs Stand.
Where They Play Today.

(By Tosty.)
Now knock. you knocker, knock!
We're in third place and the club has
only started. That win over Winni-
peg yesterday by a 4 to 3 score in a
six inning game was another JOY add
ed to the growing list. And. by the
time the season is over, there will be
more little joys floating around this
burg than the town has ever expert
enced before.

the Winnipeg outfit got jealous of his
cognomen and imagined that it was a
contraction of Snookums, II pet of
the NeWlyweds of comic supplement
fame. The whole Winnipeg outfit
gave limitations of that Snookums kid
at times during the short fracas yes
terday and let out more yells to the
squar inch. than on the whole page
of the Newlywed comics.
The trouble with SnOOK Yesterday
was that he didn't find the plate often
enough and passed six men in six in
nings, two each getting on in h Sec
~ and third frames. The fielding
behind him was almost perfect. True,

Shook didn't pitch as we'll as he is
capable of doing. but he will lave

nered.
That ended it. Moe struck out six
of the next ten men. who faced him
before the game was called at the
end of the sixth.
Shook got in a tight hole in the sec
ond inning and it looked like all day
at the races. Kirkham got on on
Bells error. and after Straine had cre-
ated an agitation in the ozone Altman
and Jones both walked. Moe was an
easy out, retiring the side. by bunting
one to Shook.

perambulated. and both scored on
Clothier's two station bingle.
Those fielders hat Brown, has plac-
ed his tag on are rather fancy. and
each one pulled off a little stunt for
the edification of the fans. Freer in
catching Heyzer's fly in the fifth. ran
in from deep center. just got his hands
on the ball. when he tripped and going
at top speed turned a regular pro-
fessional somersault, that would make
him eligible to the Veronica family in
Ringling's circus. He came up with
the ball in his glove hand.
Altman in the sixth inning chased
Fosters long fly to the foul line in left
field and reaching over the hood of
one Of the automobiles, caught the
globe with his bare hand. Baker in
| right field felt in duty bound t. do
his share of the grandstand work and
in the sixth inning came in to catch
Bowers fly. reached ahead with his
mitt and picked the pellet from the
air with one hand.
McMurdo also pulled a sensational
stop at first. DeHaven poled one
down to first that looked like a sure
hit. and Spot" reaching around be-
hind stopped the mad flight of the
sphere and recovered it in time to re-
tire the batsman. The score:
Grand Forks.

SENTIMENT

sentiment regarding the Duluth
team has changed materially since the
opening OF the season. The fans have
awakened to the fact that we have a
good team here. 1t does appear that
the Irish Orator has assembled the
best aggregation since the dear days
Of Marion. Dauss. Mueller, McCrone.
Breen. Kohl and some of the rest-by,
the way. one Of the best teams that
ever played in a league of its class.
But-there ONE the pessimistic
but always-the season is young.
When here Winnipeg looked awfully
good n it is difficult to account for
the games the outfit has lost. The
aggregation is surely a clouting one,
SO it must be that the pitchers have
been going bad. But the race is still
crying for castoria. figuratively speak
ing. n there is many a hard adjec-
tive between the slip.

present time, there is little chance for
any man to chase flies in our daisy
patch.
There is a story going the rounds
that Don Marion is coming back TO the
smaller circles-but no one has said
he is coming here. While several tele-
grams have been sent to Milwaukee,
we'll that Toe not mean that the big
boy will be added to the pitching staff
of the local club.
So far the league has been more of
q financial success than the officers
dreamed of. Winnipeg has been
drawing great" there was a fine
opening day al Grand Forks, while the
Sunday crowd at Superior was one of
the best o%utpourings that has ever at
ended a game at Hislop park.

How Canadians
Are Sticking

The rest gave the baseball statisti-
clan a chance to figure OUT the batting
average of the Winnipeg players,
which divulses the fact that the boys
are not tearing the cover off the ball.
though the team average of .27S ia
fairly good, says the Winnipeg Free
Press. Spot" MacMurdo and Heine
krueger are the leaders with the
stick. the husky first baseman being
slightly over the SEQ mark. Clothier,
Altman n Shea have been getting
but few hits. and are due to show bet
ter form with the hat if they expect
TO hold up with the class of this
league. The figures are as follows:

U CLUB

Forks Cur club has been called for
S O'Clock tonight at the Commercial
club. when the proposition OF securing
new grounds will be taken up.
The site Of the present gun club
park, about sixteen rods west of Wes-
ley college. has recently been pur-
chased and the new owner has re.
quested the club to seek another Local
IL for the traps and club house.
The present park is an ideal place
for shooting and as the club house
and traps are new this year. the club
members are much disappointed at
the announcement that they will have
to move. Members of the club said
this morning that they had no definite
site for another park in view.

Freer is the fastest man in the
league. His record for 100 yards is
ten seconds fiat. His exhibition Of
catching the pill and turning a head
spring last night was evidence of his
splendid physical condition. Freer
says he is always in shape because
he neither smokes or drinks. He is
in training the year around. He
gave a showing Of his ability to cover
the sacks in lightning fashion last

nearly beat the first runner to the
plate. That's going some.

his shoulder and descended with him
to the cockpit. But it happened that
just as the poor fellows head came
upon a level with the deck another
ball carried that off also. Benbow,
however. knew nothing of the matter
and carried the body down to the sur
geon. calling out to the latter that he
had brought a patient. desiring some
one to bear hand. The surgeon
turned about and exclaimed:
why. what do you do here with a
man who has lost his head"'
Lost his head" says Benbow. "a

his leg. but never believed what he
said in my life without being sorry

Local Stock Winning Prizes

his big black Percheron stallion at the

all classes.

Jolly Stockwell, 1O1, 24O, won first in
under 1-year-old class for bulls, was
made Junior Champion, and later was
honored with Grand Champion over the
2-year-old Grand Champion of the Mon
tana State Fair. He is said to be the
best young bull exhibited on the circuit
this year.
