Smuggling Match From
the Virginia Team

Considerably over 1000 people. the
largest crowd of the season saw Fargo
WIN a smuggling match from Virginia
yesterday. in which four home runs
were made and foul pitchers were
driven to the woods. The score was 9
TO 10. With a terrific wind blowing
over the field, any long fly was apt to
go for a hit and the game proved to
De the greatest swatfest of the sea-
son.
If it is true that the fans like to
see a slugging match, yesterdays af-
1alr should have proved an enjoyable
occasion.
Manager Unglaub, 'benched himself
yesterday. The boss of the Grain
growers has been doing some rather
strenuous work since the season open
ed and felt that, he needed a rest. He
put Catcher Charlie Handschu on first
ase n the big receiver got away in
nice shape.
Taking himself out of the game
seemed to change the luck Of .Bob's
Graingrowers, for they managed to
nose in a winner.
For the second consecutive game the
Gralngrowers got away without an err
ror. The inield worked in perfect
shape and the outfielders gathered in
a lot of difficult ones. The terrific
wind; nj the uneven ground in the
outtield made several flies go for hits
That otherwise would have been easy
outs.
The first three up for Virginia were
easy outs. The Graingrowers put a
run across in h first inning. Schiller
hit, stole second and went to third on
a wild pitch. Dye struck out. Doyle
struck at the third strike and was
thrown out at first, Schiller scoring on
the play. Handschu walked but De-
Rose was thrown out at first.
1t was the second inning that Vir-
GINA started, the fireworks. Fremer
walked. He was sacrificed to second
but was later nipped at the plate.
Greish also walked and Couture was
hit by the pitcher. .Hargrove got in
on a 'fielder's choice and then Faeth
singled to left, the ball taking O. bad
hop and Greish, Hargrove and Couture
coming home. Faeth singled and was
brought home by a double by Herman.
Sundheim walked and Brokaw struck
out. ...'
In their half Of the second Fargo
garnered two. Murphy, first up, hit
a home run Weiled doubled and went
to third when Briere and Schiller walk
ed. While Dye was being thrown out
at first Weidell scored making the
score . to~4 in favor Of Virginia.
The Virginians added another in the
third when Griesh put one oVer the
center field wall for a homer. This
was the big inning for the Graingrow-
ers. Handschu and DeRose flew out.
The Virginia pitcher decided not to
take chances with Home-run Murphy
and gave him a free ticket to the first
station. Weidell n Briere both
singled and with the bases choked and
two gone, Schmirler strolled to the
plate. The big left handler is usually
an eaBy victim but this time he pick
ed out one he liked and picked it for
q clean single. The center fielder fell
all over himself trying to get it in
and Murphy, Weidell and Briere scor-
ed. An error by the first baseman let
Schmirler in while Schiller was reach
ing first.
In the fifth Virginia tied it up. AZ

doubled and Fremer singled, bringing

The Graingrowers came right back
at them in their half Of the lucky
seventh" Handschu signed and De-
Rose leaned on the first ball pitched

Fargo added the winning run in the
eighth, Briere was thrown out at first,
but Mclaughlin dumped one just over
first base. Schiller hit one to short
and Mclaughlin was forced at second.
Schuler stole second, and singles by
Dye n Doyle left the little second
baseman in with the tenth run for
Fargo.
1t looked bad for a time in the first
Of the ninth. Sundheim first man up
tripled and Unglaub sent Klontz in to
replace Mclaughlin in the box. Bro
kaw was thrown out at first and Sund-
helm scored. With the bags clear,
Fremer and Stewart were easy outs,
the game was over and the Graingrow-
ers were on the long end of the score.
