After a Senile SpaSm in the ninth
frame. Bill Carney's kids threw up
the sponge yesterday afternoon and
evaporated from Dacotah park, much
the worse for year. While pursuing
their regular pay-getting course, they
encountered the heavy swinging blud-
geonS of the Winona Giants. and the
latter tangoed from the scene of the
disaster dragging the heavy end of a
1913 tally,
With old Sol smiling serenely-his
first real one of the season-the. game
started II beautifully, and the first
session was one of those brilliant on
hfbitions. But. despite all indications
to the contrary. Chief Engineer Davis
was not idle while biting the dust in
right field during the Flickertails' first
Journey to the swinging corrall. When
he pranced in. it was only to move
out the wrecker and get the shiIlalahs
we'll creased for the fray.
And They Were Working.
And. "Believe Me zantippe." he had
them working. when the first mar
responded to Perry Werden's invita-
ton for a batter at the plate. Two
side Of Deitrich's cowlick. mixed with
q little cutting Of the ball by this Per-
o Chase, sent the first two Giantlets
to he run counter. The first morsel
had a poisoning effect on Lefty AND
his crew, and thereafter they acted
like wild men.
But the Flickertails, being consti-
tuted differently, behaved quite the
opposite. The medicine had a sooth-
Ing effect, and they flicked the even
tener OF their way, arousing now and
then to pierce the hopes of the WI
nona~ lads--tust to show that cit could

No-Hit Stunt Lacking.
Mr.. Wells. the erstwhile no-hit siz-
requests from Boss Carney. But Mr..
Wells had nothing sizzling yesterday.
In fact, the only thing that sizzled
was his baseball English, when the
slamming opponents connected with
his offerings. In the last frame, when
Forks to turn the trick. the Davis
crew leaned on Mr.. Wells with such
telling effect that his bones ratified
like the castenets OF a Spanish dane
ing girls. During the awful moments
of tina session, he dished out four
five tallies.
The same Mr.. Snow that pitched to
n man during the slaughter of Tues
day was on the firing line for the
visiting criminals. He had his good.
right arm working in great form, and,
except on rare occasions. could not
be touched.
Sammy Failed Us. Too.
Samivel Foster did his darndest to
get a hit yesterday, hut Sammy's bat
ting average has been dangerously
near deaths door since the awful
campaign he waged Tuesday. He
was able to find the pill. but the
~ding-dashed thing always found a pair
OF open mitts somewhere in the out
field.
Viking King Larson was on the yob
yesterday. In the sixth frame, he
nearly moved down the pitcher and
his jumps by a blazing single to CEN
ter, and a few minutes after he stole
second and home. In tho last attempt
The doubled n scored a m or
30 later. Chase's club was also work
ing in fairly good form. and he man
aged to onnec for two safe ones
But barking back to Tuesdays affair
again. Those who saw that side show
can excuse the Flickertails for their
formed not half so punkly as the Wi
mona farmers on that sad occasion.

Larson counted the third run in the
