MICH INTEREST
IN BIG SERIES
LOCAL BASEBALL FANS MAX
ING PREDICTIONS OF THE BIG
BASEBALL SERIES

Local baseball fans who have been
watching the fortunes of the Dig
league teams during the past summer
are now speculating on the outcome
of the Worlds Series, to be played
between the leaders of the American
and National Leagues. Philadelphia
Americans and the New York Ma
tionals will contest for the worlds
championship.
The Giants and Athletics this year
should furnish one of the roost thrill
ing struggles of worlds series ms, IS,
tory. Such classic is good or paa
according to whether the contestants
are evenly matched. Not only are
the Polo grounders and the Shlpe
park lads of about kindred playing
strength but both have been SO er-
ratio the latter part of the season
that almost anything may oe expect
ed in the great clash. =,
There never was such a worlds ser.
les as that between the Red Sox and
Giants last fall, at least from the
Standpoint of the spectacular. There
were few pitching duels but the
great majority of the contests were
slugging jubilees in which one side or
the other was put to utter route. AS
a rule there were no half measures
Either a team was very very good. or
it was very, very bad. And cropping
out with the most inexcusable "bush''
league stuff on every hand came a
series of plays of such exceptional
brilliancy as fairly knocked the spec
tators off their chairs.
This series went eight full games
including one extra inning tie, which
is the very best proof of the balance
of the rivals. Boston outplayed New
York in the first half and outlucked
it in the second But for an error in
one of the early games Boston would
probably have won in four straight
games. Finally when the gamest sort
of fight put New York on even terms
with the Red Sox and in a position tc
win with the deciding game an error
blew the title. New York had the
game bagged before Snodgrass' muft
put the Hub in winning mood. Fred
Merkle completed the job by his
failure to 60 after little pop fou]
from Speakers bat. Now during the
series both Snodgrass and Merkle
showed several wonderful plays that
helped to save games at critical stages
but all this was forgotten when Their
faults lost the championship.

A MINNESOTA
AUTO PARTY
REACHED WILLISTON AFTER A
HARD DRAG OVER HEAVY
.ROADS-LIKE COUNTRY

The city editor was very agreeably
surprised on Wednesday evening to
meet party of Minnesota automo-
bile tourists, and former acquain-
tances, who arrived here about z
O'Clock enroute to Sidney, Mont.
In the party were George Deverey,
Henry Kvindlog and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bert Donaldson, all Of Faribault,
MINI.
When they pulled into a local
garage the members Of the party
were badly bespattered with mud, and
the big Hudson car they were driving
looked like a road grading outfit, but
nevertheless all were happy. The
heavy roads encountered the hundred
miles east of Williston had made go
ing very slow, and even at that the
tourists made ninety five miles dur
ing the day, coming from little town
this side Of Minot. They left Fari-
bault last Saturday, and upon reach
ing here the speedometer registered
q little over 800 miles The heavy
roads, and little bad luck caused
them to be day late in reaching this
point.
When asked what excuse they had
to offer for pulling through the mud,
the explanation forthcoming was,
"that they were just out on little
vacation and looking over the coun-
try" Mr.. Donaldson has brother in
bank at Sidney, where the party will
spend about week before starting
the return journey. The car was well
equipped for the journey, including a
small oil stove, to be used in case
camping out became necessary.
Mr. Kvindlog is interested in one
of the largest auto garages in south
ern Minnesota, located at Faribault.
He was doing the driving stunt for
the party. and we doubt if there are
many drivers in this section who
would have tackled the job of bring
ing car over the roads between here
and Minot on Wednesday. Mr.. Kvind-
log passed through this section, and
parts of Mckenzie county, eight
years ago driving one cylinder
Cadillac car. He says that the coun-
try, as we'll as the automobile busi-
ness, has changed a great deal since
tnat time. ..- 7
Mr.. Devery is proprietor Of the
Deverey Sanitary Dairy and Ice
Cream Company, of Faribault. He
recently erected fine new building
and is in very close touch with the
dairying interests of Southern Mime
sofa, which of course, is one of the
principal industries Of that state. Mr..
Deverey said -s'.Your town certainly
makes fine appearance 1t night rs

you come in over the hill from the
east"
Mr.. Donaldson has interests in
Faribault and large farm near Nor
ristown, Minn., and is also interested
in lumber yard at Morristown. The
trip was being made in Mr.. Donald
sons Hudson "40," which brought
them through the mud in fine style.
They left here for Sidney at 10
o'clock Thursday morning, and will
return this way in about week or
ten days.
They were high in their praise of
what they have seen of North OAK
ota in their overland trip, and were
much. impressed with the territory
around Williston.

the accurate Fred Garland down as
he can others. The Midtown boy
tailed eleven field goals while Luke
was able to register but two points.
Canton and Armstrong found them
selves content with two and three
