Bobby Nifnecker is the brightest
star in the st. Paul baseball heaven.
The former Flickertail shortstop has
got In solid with the st. Pau fans,
and, according to n local resident
who saw him play yesterday, gets a
healthy hand every time he steps up
% the plate.
Give us a few more Grand Forks
players and We'll ave a ball team"
Is an over-worked expression on the
st. Paul stan these days, this same
local man says.
Larson pitched a great game ia the
second contest, and Peters shone bril-
1iantly behind the bat. Peters had a
chance to drive in a run or two. but
struck out with h bases full.
In a conversation with Nifnecker
after the game. the latter declared
ponley would not have gone for hits
had he been given any kind Of sup

Undertaken Must he After Us.
This being the week for taking a
punch at u frame. the verdant
young agrartan OF The Fargo Forum
terday. He chuckled up his sleeve
when he saw the package Friend
Bruce mailed us. and Immediately
proceeded to tag it to a little intro
huctory fling of his own. Most of this
little spasm Is devoted to making an
apology to a fellow sufferer for one
of the mistakes that this Forum in
FAINT made regularly during the North
Hrn league
This Fargo individual. who. by the
way, keeps a bottle Of barley water,
p O of maltese sugar and some
Mennen's baby powder near his paste
jar and scissors. accuses us of making
a laughing stock OF our unpopular self
during the summer. At that, it's bet
ter to go around splitting the laughs,
derlsfve though they be, than sit back
and throw this era junk and give
M the h ha' when another har-
poons him. But, then. it's the way
of a wee, little lad to laugh when a
bigger gink takes a slap at one he
hates.
An this Is the same sun flower
Journalist who deliberately n with
malice af~orethought kept Grand Forks
down in sixth position when the Off
cial standing had them third. who
had to AXE three days off when the
season opened to learn how to score
a ball game, and who appointed him
self the guardian angel of all the 9TH
Or sport writer's around the circuit.
Altman Act Fell Through,
John Altman. erstwhile Fllckertail
star, was billed for a try-out with the
Chicago White Sox yesterday, cut a
glance at h box score proves thai
Dutch" didn't get In. The Chicago
Herald yesterday morning stated:
Another cadet slated for a trial is
John Altman, a big. rangy %outfelder
rounded up by Billy Sullivan on a re-
cent scouting pilgrimage to Grand
Forks, N. D. Altman is a southpaw
sticker. He i'll substitute in center
field for Shane Collins, who is on the
hospital list nursing a sprained angle"
and so Dutch: is still taking his daily
workout and waiting for a chance to
get in.
A Krool World, Says Krab.

I was fannin' with another bug, a ru-
mon came chasin' along the street
