one yesterday when Grand Forks de-
feated Virginia, ii to 10, in the last
game of the series. a crowd OF 5000
witnessed the exposition of baseball
that was far from standard.
There was something radically
wrong. Perhaps it was the size of
the crowd, or the weather., or a hou

was something to worry about.

For nine innings the two cams
"Alphonsoed and Gastoned" bou the
ball lot, Virginia going a step too far,
however, when they permitted a run
in the ninth that broke up the pro-
ceedings.
The inability of the pitchers to
show anything was one feature. They
all looked alike to h b%atters, and
a win sweeping across the diamond
from the southwest probably was par

Waddel Il Big Card.
Rube Waddell vas the big card
with the crowd. He entered the arena

ing out with his catcher along the
third base lines. His particular de-
light was to shoot one ball at the UNI
pire and another at his catcher, and
the festivities were made right inter
esting by the once famous Mackman.
Though slightly under the weather
Waddell showed a few things during
the two innings that he pitched. He
opened up by surprising Fishback,
the local center fielder having the ball
in the hands of the second baseman
before he realizd hat he had CON
nected.
Then Gerlach and Foster were fan
ned.
But the second frame was different.
Altman, first up, was hit by a pitched
ball, and after Waddell had apollo
gized in a rather elaborate to
the Dutchman, Larson tried for a sac
riice. He lifted the pill in the air
between Waddell and his second base
man. 1t went for a hit.
Get Two More Runs.
Then Chase connected for a single
that scored Altman, and a moment
later DIETRICH drove a hot one through
Waddell that counted two more tai
lies.
Edmunds sacrificed DIETRICH to sec
ond; Morse went down, Waddell to
Couture, and Fishhack struck out.
That was all the pitching Waddell
did, but it was quite enough to salts
fy the crowd.
Used Six Pitchers.
All told, six pitchers were used in
the contest. Schimmens succeeded
Waddell on the mound for Virginia.
n he worked till the sixth inning
when two walks INC a single filled the
bases. Feath vas called in at that
time. two of the men scoring on him
on Aitman's single.
Grand Forks started with Morse.
He was ineffective and retired in the
fourth in favor of Myers. The lanky-
youth worried through the fourth in
ming with only two scores being count
ed, but came back in the fifth ana
is wasn't long before the sacks were
crammed. A double, a walk and three
singles, n an out at first, netted the
ore diggers five %tallies, and with only
one down, Wilson was called in.
The no-hit man had but one bad
inning. That was the seventh when
two runs were ounted on a hit bats
man n a four-base smash by Col
Inns.

About those t~wenty-one scores.
Grand Forks didn't begin counting
til. the second inning when Waddell
had his bit of experience with the To-
cal team.
In the fourth two more were adj
ded. Chase opened with a single aft
er one was down. DIETRICH walked
and both advanced when Bennett
dropped Edmunds fly. Two scored
when Fishback doubled to the right
field.
Shannon's failure to handle Fos-
ter's long fly let him count when Ben
nett dropped Chase's oqering in the
fifth.
Two more were piled up in the
