AGAIN IN THE LEAD
Crystal Fails Passes Norway For the Third
Time This Season.

Crystal Falls took the lead IN the
Dickinson Iron league last week by
defeating Iron Mountain twice on
Saturday by a score OF ! TO 0 and on
Sunday by score OF TO 4.
These two teams always play good
games. No one could wish for better
base ball than the two teams put up.
OF course the teams are weak in hitting
but their field work made up for any
thing they lacked in that line.
Iron Mountain people don realize
how good team they have The boys
are all home product and with a good
coach TO take them in hand and one
first class pitcher the team ought to &c
to the top. The boys are not given the
encouragement that they deserve be-
cause they happen to be losers.

Everyone was on his toes all the time.
Holenbeck was on the mound for Crys-
