Robertus Unglaub. who directeth
the course Of the Minneapolis Bronks

TO n F1ickertails yesterday after

movement, said Comstock twirlcd his
way through nine innings. and walked
out at the finish with Victory trailing
along behind. 1t was a 3-to-1 count.

Captain Carney. standing on tho

out. Whereupon Captain Carney d.
rooted the course OF the Good Ship
T7ickertal southward. with orders to
Hall under the Protest" gonfalon.
The fuas was caused by a mix-up
over ground rules. In the seventh
inning. Brandt knocked an easy one
70 Unglaub. but the pill left the lat
teres paw In the wrong fashion. and
sailed ~ Warmers head and to-
ward the autoes. Brandt trotted past
second and toward third. but the ball
was back In Unglaub's mitt before the
right fielder reached the perch. I'm

His Protest in Vain.

cordinS to ground rules, the ball vas
not In play when fielded to Unglaub.
The umpire said It was, and insisted
that Brandt was out. According to
ground rules. he declared that, IL the
1all had gone among the automobiles,
Brandt would have been entitled to
Two bases, but no more. But he said
the ball hit the post. and. again bas-
ing his decision on ground rules. he
play. and that the runner started for
third at his own risk. He would not
change. and Carney announced that
tho remainder of the game would be
played under protest.
Last night. however. he stated no
formal protest would be filed,
New Man Plays.
Tho faithful ones who flocked to the
seene Of conflict yesterday were able
to drawn a lamp on a new man in the
Grand Forks lineup. The new one Ia
bors under the monicker Walsh, and
occupies the territory directly behind
the batter. He relieved Edmunds in
the sixth inning. and worked we'll dur
Ing the remaining three sessions. He
did nothing brilliant during that short
time. but showed considerable promise
ia the way Of handling the swift ones
ana getting the pegs down to second.
Myers Did Good Work.
Myers did the howitzer work for
the local fighters. Part Of the time his
machine was fitted with a Maxim sill
encer and the sight ranged anywhere
from " to four feet wide Of the
target. In plain English. his control
was bad at times. but for the most
part he worked we'll. Nine hits were
made of his offerings, he struck out
four men and issued four free trips.
Myers has a number Of offerings that
are absolute puzzlers when he gets
the proper juice on them, and yes
terday he served some of them with
all he trimmings. He held the Min
neapoiis team to lower scores than
either Jarnigan or Morse. Myers
saved himself from a shut-out by

counted on him, one being a single
and the other a double, The latter
pounded in the F1ickertafls' only run.
Conlstook struck out and issued
five passes,
Score in First Inning.
Myers had a rather bad time Of Il

time. u spent several minutes rum
mating, allowing Briere to score and
Allen to reach first and Olson to get
on third.
Pretty Double Play.
Then came the only double play of
the game. and incidentally one Of the
best soon on the local grounds. When
Indian Chase came to bat. the bases
were full. He connected with one OF
Myers, offerings, the ball dropping in
to Edmunds in time to catch Olson al
the plate. and Edmunds threw the
ball to Foster in an attempt to cut
Chase of at first. but the Big Chief
reached their first. When the bal
started towards Foster. Unglaub, who
was on third. started home, but Sam
mie' was on the Job and helded the
ball back to Edmunds In plenty OF
time to catch Robertus at home.
