F[|CKERTAl[S
HERE TOMORROW
Will Open At-home Series
With Superior Games
Begin at 6:15 Hereafter

Tomorrow the Bill Carney aggrega'
ton of pill tossers will return t.
Grand Forks for q series Of six games
tho first three being against Superior
with Duluth a. the guests the last
three days.
The management today announced
that these games. with the exception
Of that Of Sunday. would be called q,
6:15 o'clock. 80 that big crowds ought
to be on hand every day. BY calling
the evening game at 6:15 o'clock II
is possible to play all the way, rather
than only seven innings as has been
the rule when $3.50 games have been
called.
Those who are unable to be pres.
n at 6:16, and who are able to make
the $3.50 o'clock cars, will see just al
much baseball by coming at that hour
as II the game had not been called
till then. Z
Under this arrangement, which will
prevail for the remaining weekday
games in June. and for the long SER
les in July, the Grand Forks baseball
management believes 1t affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for all fam to ten
der support to the club. There are
comparatively few who cannot attend
the evening games, and with the class
of ball that Grand Forks is staging
at this time, there is no excuse for
staying away
The Race Is Close.
This Northern league race is mighty
close at the present time. Grand
Forks now just lacks winning one
game to reach the 500 mark, and Bill
Carney declares that the club soon
will be dangling around the 600 mark.
His club sure has been playing ball
since Foster and Bond Joined it. Per-
haps these two new men have not
been responsible for it, but they have
filled holes in the lineup. and in the
batting order, hat have heretofore
been decidedly bad.
Yesterday the boys put on a swat
fest, beating out fifteen safeties for a
total of twenty bases. The hitting has
improved steadily during the past
week, the boys getting them when they
We're needed, while spectacular field
ing has done much to keep the club
in the running.
Chase Looks Like q Winner.
This Hal Chase sure looks like a
winner. 1t wasn't so very long ago
that Grand Forks FANS were some
what discontinued with his work, and
we're quite willing to hang him, or do
anything else within or without the
law to get rid of him.
But they wouldn't part with that
same Mr.. Chase right now.
1t Batting at a 400 Clip.
Right now Mr.. Chase is batting at
the 400 mark. Since the series OPEN
ed with Winnipeg at Winnipeg on
May 26, and including yesterdays
game, a total of eleven games. Chase
has been at bat forty times and he
a negotiated sixteen hits, for a per-
centage of 400.
In his fielding he has taken sixty
I've chances and has missed but one.
In but two Of the games did he fail
to negotiate a hit; in four games he
got one hit; in three games he got two
hits, and in two others he got three
hits, Gaping the climax yesterday
when his three hits were good for six
bases. on top of which he stole home.
DIETRICH Shows Batting Improvement.
Another change in the last eleven
games has been the improved batting
of DIETRICH. and while he has not yet
reached the 200 class, that boy at
third is beating them out for q per-
centage of just forty more than thu
last official averages showed. And his
fielding has been good, DIETRICH hay-
ing a faculty Of making the hard
stuff look easy.
Burmeister is Coming.
President Burmeister, who has
SHOWN that he can rule with an iron
hand when the best interests of the
game demand 1t, will reach the city
tomorrow morning to watch the locals
and Superior play. This is Burmeis-
ter's first trip to Grand Forks since h.
became president of the league, and
the local magnates are planning al
exciting time for him.
Think Well of Forkers.
Winnipeg fans and sport writer's
think Well Of the ~Flickertails. Here
Is what the sport writer of The Win
nipeg Telegram says:
THE new member of the Foster
tribe, who holds down second for Car
ney, looks like a real find. and with
Chase at short, Sam on first and Deit-
rich at third. make UP about the bes,
infield In the league. They are all
chain lightning on double plays"
Also this, anent Bond, the new find:
Bond, who teaches school in his
spare moments during the winter
months. has just Joined Billy Carney's
aggregation. A decade or SO ago he
heaved for the locals. but he was for
gotten by all but the veteran fans
when he jumped around at the start
of the game. His first chance to shine
came when he dropped an easy chance
to the outfield, but he more thar
made up a little later on when he
grabbed what looked like a sure HON.
er from off his shoe laces. Then came
his triple smash, and the fans thoI
did know him before were ready r.
admit that Harold, despite his ancient
history, was still some ball player.
Senator Thompson possibly think,
the special session was called to en-.
able him to reflect great credit upor
his state and the nation. Ha seam1
