(By Benz
There was a brace of real ball
games at Dacotah park yesterday,
and, just by way of being cantanker-
grabbed them both. But the most
Joyful feature Of the double party
is the fact that the whiting Fargo
Moorhead Twins were our unwilling
guests and they were treated none
too hospitably-which is as it should
be.
In the excitement Of the moment,
without giving the scores. which, I'M
der the circumstances, would be a
real neglect. Well, here they are:
First game, Grand Forks S, Fargo
Moorhead 1: second game, Grand
Forks 6, Fargo-Moorhead 8.
Regular Swatfests.
There We're several interesting fea-
lures about both pastimes. not the
: least~o Of which was the slug-feed the
climbing Flickertails enjoyed. In the
afternoon affair they hoped upon

lifting his ~schooners. Mr.. Dumont was
separated from fourteen safe blows.
three of which were good for an extra
base.
Ezekiel Ferris. who used to perform
in the same capacity for the Flicker
tails, was Unglaub's evening sacrifice,
n the home sluggers burned him
up for eleven drives. which We're
pulled from the sack when they did
the most damage,
Donley Wins Game.
Donley, who has been one of our
busiest, little hurlers since the club
got off under the wire. did the grease
pole stunt in the afternoon and
grabbed off the victory prize at the
top. Donley worked in fine form,
allowing but five hits. In the fourth
catch a man at second and give the
batsman first, a triple was grabbed
from Donley's offerings and the only
Twin score of the party trotted in.
In the fifth inning. sensational field
ing saved Donley from another run.
After Walla a doubled and had gone
to third on Weidell's single, the latter
Sampson to Nifnecker. Murphy was
walked, and the two base runners tried
the double steal. but Walla was caught
at the plate.
The evening pastime was produc.
tive of a plethora of sensational
stunts. Patrick Flaherty. who has
romped through the season without
an. error in the right farm. scintillatted
on various occasions. and. despite the
fact that he refused to acknowledge
the hand-noise and throat-cheers, the
crowd got a lift, for someone else
dotted his bonnet for him.
Old Heads Are Fooled.
The most pleasing feature of Pat
r1cks performance was the double
he pulled on Father Unglaub and
Uncle Dtnny Sullivan. When it was
all over, the two old heads looked at
each other. grinned sheepishly and
away at each other, well we can re-
member Dinny was on first,
when Unglaub slammed a hot one
toward right field. Patrick had to
make a long run. but he grabbed it
in one hand and chucked it back to
first, heading off the Sullivan lad. who
cracked three bones in hurryine back
to first.
Pat got two other throws that
brought a few "Ahs'' and look at that
peg" out Of the crowd. At one time.
he threw from deep right to third.
and at another. he caught a man at
second. but Nifnecker dropped the
liIToW, diiCWnS the runner two sacks
on a single.
Altman in on One.
Altman also was in on a beautiful
double, which spilled a scoring Dos
sibility for Fargo. After Weidell sin
gled and got to third on Murphy's
single, Ferris few out to Altman and
the latter threw to Wheeler in time
to catch Murphy coming up from
first.
Larson did the F1ickertail hinsine in
the second affair, and was touched
just as often as Ferris. The Twins
punched hits in three inings for a
tally in each, but. when they gave
promise of repeating in other frames.
sensational fielding cut them down.
Start in Second.
We now launch into a detailed
slaughter OF the evening happenings.
h second inning Anderson started
on with a double and counted on Nif-
r1ecker's two-base drive. Wheeler put
one into the infield and Nifnecker vas
