Stellar TwirIing and
Daring Running Seen
In First With Giants
By SENATOR"

In what might easily have been mis-
taken for a championship struggle for
its intense interest. its lightning-liks
plays, its daring running and its stel-
lar twirIing. the Climbers defeated the
New York Giants in the first game on
the Florida avenue prairie by the close
score OF 3 to 2. 1t was the initial de-
feat of the season for the McGraw out
fit after eighteen straight victories.
Walter Johnson, greatest of 'em all
pitched the first five innings and was
in perfect form. Two scattered hits
were registered by the Giants while
the kansas Whirlwind" was whirling
and but one man reached second. John
sons speed was bewildering, his hook
puzzling and his control steady as the
old mill wheel He did not issue a
pass and was never in the hole.
Joe Engel replaced Johnson in the
sixth and worked three innings, being
driven out of the game by line drive
from Tesreau's bat in the eighth The
drive almost tore off one of Joe's digits
and when the ninth came along It
found the cool, crafty veteran finger,
Tomasso Hughes, on the firing line
Tomasso famed Snodgrass and Burns
and forced Shafer to push him a puny
roller after Umpire Altrock had missed
the third strike
For five frames the Climbers strug-
pected break failed to come until the
sixth. Then it came suddenly. Milan
was the first to face the gigantic
Tesreau and he walked. Gandil pick
cd out one for a single TO right CEN
ter and when Morgan waited for a
pass the corners were crowded.
The fans gasped when Ainsmith
sent up a high fly 10 Merkle, but they
set UP a wild shout when Shanks
slapped a fast one down the line to
Shafe for a forceout of Morgan at
second, for Milan rushed over the
plate on the play. When Shanks
started for second Wilson pegged TO
Tesreau in an attempt to catch
GandiI off third. but the big pitcher
was unprepared for the snap peg and
while the ball rolled off the diamond
Gandil scored, Shanks seizing THE
midway cushion for his own.
Dan Mcbride hammered one az
Merkle, which went for hit as Tes-
reau failed 10 get over to the bag u,
time TO get the throw. With Engel al
the plate that third run did not look
promising. so Mcbride pulled some up
to-date stuff in breaking for second and
prolonging his death until Shanks had
tailed. Three runs had come over, prov
Ing enough to win.
E.ngel had weatheTed the sixth in
safety. but he bumped into trouble in
the seventh, because of his wildncss.
He walked the first two Giants. Shafer
end Burns. Milan made q pretty run
ming catch of Doyle's fiy in short CEN
ter, but Murray singled sharply TO left
center, scoring Shafer and putting Burns
un third. Merkle followed with a single
10 right. scoring Burns and putting
Murray on third.
Here YOU are for the first box score OF
= real, sure enough ball game for the
season of 1913:

It's strange. when
one knows the
facts, that so

many young men, who want
snap and style in their clothes,
and who appreciate the econ
omy of quality, cling to the
grandfatherly idea of made
to-measure clothes. Clothes
making has advanced far be-
yond that stage; ready
clothes, as we make them, are
better than the average made
to-measure; at SIS, for ex-
ample, you'll find our suits,

SPEAKS AT
ISLAND PARK

George d. Brewer of Kansas who
has been touring several Of the
western states en- route for the east
will stop off in this city between trains
and give lecture at Island park inn
mediately after the concert Sunday
p. m.
His subject will be economics. his
tory and the industrial conditions of
today defending the principle of
scientific international socialism-de-
fined in Websters' dictionary as a
more and better harmonious order of
society than has hitherto existed
and in ethics, identical with those of
christianity.
He is a member of the American
Federation Of Labor and has been ma
tionally identified with the labor
movement for twelve years, having
toured the entire country several
times.
Local sympathizers felt that the peo-
pie of Fargo should have an oppor-
tunity to hear this able man present
his principle and they have secured
the park and selected the afternoon so
as not to conflict with other Sunday
gatherings.
1t is expected that many will be out
to hear him.

printed in a leading Paris musical
journal which is told as follows:
Some weeks ago brilliant per-

sented an aspect of luxury and ele-
gance, and nothing was wanted to
make the Interpretation worthy of the
opera.
Between the first and second acts
the stage manager made a little speech
to the audience. Ladies and gentle
men,, he said, by a happy innovation
our distinguished manager has decided
to replace the spinning wheel Of Mar

ment, by sewing machine of Messrs.

HOLD Up ARTISTS
BUSY AT FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 30.-Three
cessful and the other two failures be-
cause Of the f1eetness of foot Of the
near victims, the capture of five men
who will be charged with the crime,
and the Wounding of one of them in
the tleshy part of the hand by a. bull
let sent after him when he bolted in
an attempt 70 escape an officer, made
ny n unusual record for the police
forces of the east and west side of the
river last night.
At about o'clock last evening,
three men, one giving the name Of
james McDonal, attacked John Peter
son near the Great Northern depot IN
East Grand Forks, hit him on the
head with the apparent intention OF
stunning him SO that they could go
through his pockets and rob him.
Peterson was not stunned, but let the
men believe that he was and lay quiet
while they took what loose change he
had, about a dollar not touching the
bills that he had seWed up in the lin
ing of his coat. Peterson got up as
soon as the men had moved on and
hurried to the police station and call
ed Officer Iver .Aldahl, who went with
him to the scene Of the robbery. The
men were rounded UP and marched to
the police station. While Officer AL
dahl was unlocking the door, James
McDOnal bolted and ran for freedom;
Aldahl fired two shots after him, with
the intention of wounding him so that
he could not escape, but did not fol-
low McDonal, as to do SO would have
meant the escape of the other men

Building improvements.

Harris Bros. had it in the cards today
and If the play is as anticipated new
building will soon be climbing skyward
on the site they are now occupying and
it will be one of the most prominent
structural improvements made on Front
street for some time-prominent be-
cause it is in the center of Moorhead's s
business district and will be on the way
to the new postoffice building. The
firms farm implement and automobile
business has expanded to the point
where more room and conveniences for
handling is required. An architect has
been commissioned to prepare plans
for a three-story building with high
basement 65xS7 feet with Northern
Pacific traclpage The dirt from the
big basement required will be used by
the Northern Pacific for the filing of
the big coulee, a work which has al
ready been explained in connection
with improvements by the railroad
company named.
Anoher commercial Improvement
will be increased facilities for John
Lamb and his fuel and livery bust
ness. The sidetrack which now serves
his fuel business is to be heightened
to the full extent of his barn. Mr..
Lamb anticipates discontinuance of his
feed stable business as he needs more
room for the horses he is obliged to
use in his fuel business.
