noon when they will meet Virginia for
the last Sunday game of the season N
Grand Forks. That there will be A
Dig attendance is certain. as the bows
are putting up a right fine brand of
baseball these day-and with a con-
tlnuatlon OF the present tendencies
they still have a chance to push their
umn.
The recent change in the inheld
which placed Chase at third base. with
Glockner at short, seems to have help
ed very materially. Chase is playing
a much better game at third, while
Glockner is showing some real flash
es Of speed at short.
Rube Foster. who recently was hav-
Ing a bad time at second, is sure play
ing star baseball these days. He is
covering a lot of ground over there
around second. while Sam is as re-
liable as ever at first.
Edmunds. back of the bat, has been
catching right consistent ball. and has
helped to make the team look better.
In the outfield. Altman. Bond and
Jarnigan are a sweet-looking trio.
They are all 300 hitters.
Jarnigan. Of course. is an off-day

the league TO seven and A half games.
with Grand Forks only FIVE games he
hind Winnipeg. or twelve and a half
games from the top of the heap.
1t is going to he a hot fight from
now on, as Grand Forks is right liable
to spill the leaders over at any time,
as evidence the three straight wins
against the Minneapolis crew this
week.
The defeat Of Minneapolis in the
three-game series has brought the
Cnglauh crew down to within one
game of Winnipeg.
Winona's Pitchers Going Back.
For the Winona crew it begins TO
look as though the pitching staff is
going back. Snow has beer having
arm trouble. and the other men have
had to work harder. The result is hut
one-the pitching has not been SO ef-
Yective.
Ruhe Schauer seems to have expert
enced a return to form and Is going
good for Superior, while the recent
addition Of Joe Rell to the outfield has
strengthened the teams hitting con-
siderably.
Winnipeg is going along at a right
lively clip and there isn't much rea-

to Duluth. but the price wasn't to
Duluth's liking. and Smith goes to
Jackson.
