Talking about Strawberries and

great big nice juicy dish of the ber-
Ties and spoil the whole thing by get
cng a bad one to finish up with.
About 2.400 Grand Forks baseball
rams had that experience Sunday--to
\ be exact. there were 2,27S who paid
Tor the privilege-the bad berry COM
ing In the shape of a victory for St.
Paul in the ninth inning under a COM
blnation of circumstances not entirely
pleasing to the palate. The final
| count was 9 to l.
Some Fine Pitching.
Now that game wasn't entirely
spoiled by the last berry. In fact,
there were a whole lot of things about
the contest that were entirely salts
FACTORY, and we'll worth while. 1t was
q pitching duel in which one certain
observation-disclosures that stands for
had a slight edge on Wilson Of the
locals. bu at that the Rt. Hon. Mr..
Wilson was entitled to a clean shutout
Tor the nine frames.
From the pitching point Of view
that game might have been going yet.
Wilson was Carney's choice for mound
work. n he sure showed up in great
shape. Through eight innings he bat
tied the Saints down, one after the
\ other, and though in a couple of bad
wholes-the result Of misplays by his
teammates-he pulled out and the
ninth was reached without a marker
on he score board against him.
Only One Successful.
Through min and a third inning
only one of the visiting crew had been
successful in solving his delivery, that
parsonage being DeRuska, who has
the distinction of holding down the
Initial corner for Jones. DeRuska had
gathered two hits up to the ninth, a
single in the second and Il double in
the fourth, but they yielded nothing.
Then am the ninth frame. DeRus-
ka opened it with a single to left. De-
Ruska followed with an attempt at
sacrificing, and he hunted toward
Dietrich. Dietrich threw wild trying
to head off DeRuska at second. and
h ball went to center field before
E. DeRuska was stopped at third. with
Hruska still hugging first.
Ntedenfuer went down on an easy
grounder and then came Thomas with

stole Home.
With Glockner batting the finish
came. Gerlach, holding what he be-
1teved was the third strike, didn't dis
cover Hruska making a wild scram-
BILE for the plate till too late. Hruska
had stolen nome for the run that won
the game.
Umpire Missed Strike.
Casting about for an alibi for Mr..
Gerlach His Jumps seems like the most
likely person. Glockner had two
strikes on him when the ball that re-
suited in the stolen tally was pitched.
It was a groove ball. n Wilson was
entitled to a strikeout. But the vision
Of the feeting form of Hruska COM
ing down from third base-or some
thing else-apparently dimmed the
eyesight of Mr.. Dunlevy. At any events
he failed to catch the strike and the
trouble was done That ball called
properly would have closed the inning
with a tie score.
Grand Forks only tally came in the
third inning. Gerlach walked, took
second on Wilson's out. third on Fish
backs scratch infield single and scor-
ed when DeRuska dropped the throw
from Hruska.
AS to pitching. 1t was all that any
fan could ask.
Wilson famed four of the visiting
crew: he issued four free passes and
allowed but -four hits, two of which
came in the %eventful ninth. His con-
tfol was good in the pinches.
Only Six Reached First.
Niedenfuer had the locals BANKED
at almost every turn.
h first seven men facing him
went down handily. Then came Ger

for the walk-the only one issued by
Niedenfuer-which resulted in the
run. All told. only six Flickertails
reached first during. the entire game,
and only two Of those go to second
base. :.
Niedenfuer famed three. and the
three hits-all singles-were made in
q many different innings.
Some Dangerous Graund.
st. Paul was dangerous in the sec
ond inning when. after one was done,
Weidel got life on an error and De-
Ruska singled. Wilson struck the
next mar out and the third out came
on an tnfeld grounder.
In the third there was one to Sec
