Altman, Wilson and Ed

of the Lefty Davis Bunch.

artist refused to make more than one

anxious W~inonaites. He was awfully

from the Minnesota burg. 1t was not
changed against him however.
Altman Stars

Grand Forks left garden who cavorted
around something s~candalous. He had
a fine time out there. robbing the suf-

The. Flickertails sure did do a wal
dance on the base lines last evening.
They were on the chalk all the time
and the way they worried the tanta-
LIKED Winona hurlers was enough to
keep a man awake nights thinking OF
suitable shings to say. There was a
whole galaxy of star plays pulled off
every now and then. The darkness
toward the last made the baseball
somewhat ghoStlike every time that

In the fourth inning Ewaldt, the
