Completely reversing Thursdays
affair at Moorhead ball park, the
Graingrowers yesterday defeated
Grand Forks by a score of 6 to 1. the
Flickertails' only run being scored on
a long drive over the fence between
left and centerfield, enabling Freer,
Grand Forks third baseman, to make
the rounds without interference.
Beisser pitched a good game for
the home team, but both Donovan and
Hanson Of the Flickertail aggregation
were retired for making it too easy
for the Fargo-Moorhead boys to get
or base.
Unglaub's ~wo-bagger in the fourth
inning gave the Graingrowers their
start. Two more scores were regis
tered in the fifth and three in the
seventh, a series of walks being large
ly responsible in both instances.
In the first inning McGraw went
down on his way to first. Then Freer's
home run was followed by two outs
in quick succession at first base, Fla
herty and Altman both failing.

While Peters was reaching first on

was thrown out at second by Unglaub.
Doyle went out to first and al
though Greisel was given a base on
balls, both Weidell and Murphy
knocked long-winded mes into the
outfield where they fell into a we'll.
Donovan was beaten out to first,
McGraw flew to second and Freer
struck out.
Beisser flew to second and Schiller
n Sullivan were beat out to first.
Flaherty hit, and Altman sacrificed
to no avail when Anderson flew to
center and Nifnecker was peat to first.
Dreis had been beat u at first
when Unglaub connected for a pretty
two-bagger in the last of the fourth.
Doyle was given a base on balls. Grel-
sci knocked one to shortstop, which
Nifnecker muffed, and the error scored
Unglaub. Then when Weidell knock
ed one into the air right before the
plate, Peters caught it and doubled
by catching Greisel off second base.
Wheeler and Peters were beaten out
to first before Donovan hit, and Nc
Graw also was beaten out.
Murphy hit, but was caught at Sec

flee but reached first on a fielder's
choice. Then it vas that the boys
began to move forward without any
