mainstays Of the pitching staff.
The Graingrowers seem to have
learned the knack Of making their
hits count in the u column. They
have not greatly outhit their oppo-
nents in the games recently won, but
they turn lots more Of their hits into
scores. Which Is an evidence Of two
things, good work on the bases and
good work in the pinches on the part
Of the Fargo-Moorhead pitchers. It
is also evidence that many Of the
G~raingrowers' clouts are for extra
bases. Yesterday the boys had a
great day with the stick. DeRose
drew a homer, Dye and K1ontz got
t~wo-baggers and Schiller a three
Dagger.
The fans are getting anxious to see
the boys work with the new pitching
staff in action.
The work of setting back the fences
at the Moorhead grounds is now
practically completed, The right field
fence has been set back fifty feet and
the left field wall is twenty feet far
Their east. This will make the Moor
head grounds one of the best in the
league. The bleachers have been en-
larged and the grounds will be put in
first class shape.
The sensational winning streak Of
the Fargo-Moorhead team has brought
them into the first division just in
time to bring about a most interesting
situation in the mad scramble for the
pennant. At the present time the
GraingrOwers are just three points be-
hind Virginia, which is in third place.
Just ahead Of Virginia are Grand
Forks and Winnipeg. Winnipeg took
the lead from Grand Forks yesterday
and both Virginia and Fargo-Moor-
head are right on the heels of the two
leaders. Fargo-Moorhead has two
more games with Superior, then it
plays three with Duluth and then goes
to Virginia for a four game series.
The same day that the Graingrowers
start playing Duluth, Grand Forks and
Winnipeg start a sever game series
together, the first three at Winnipeg
and then four at the Forks. 1t will
be seen therefore hat there is a
probability that within a week there
will be four teams locked in a fierce
grapple for the four first places. This
certainly is some lively scrap that the
Northern league is furnishing the fans.
Following that scramble the Grain
growers will go against Grand Forks
and Winnipeg for a long series.
There loometh one possible snag on
the horizon. 1t is Duluth. After
finishing the two games left TO play
with Superior, Colonel Unglaub moves
over to the zenith city and there meets
Darby O'Brien in what promises to be
one red-hot series. Darby's band has
taken on new life and is trying to
emulate the G~raingroWers' swift climb
to the top. Since dropping two out of
three to Fargo-Moorhead Darby's
band has been staging a winning
streak and when the two winning
streaks come together the sparks will
probably fly.
Stolen bases, Weidell, two; Ander-
son, two; Unglaub one and Doyle one.
This was the record of the Grain
growers in the game with Superior
yesterday.
Scotty Dyes aggressive coaching
seems to have put him in bad In Su-
perior. The Superior Telegram says:
"This Dye geek is a chesty bloke for
a fellow who is down in forty-ninth
place in the Northern league batting
averages"
And again: ITS good comedy when
Dye, the perfectly good Glass D ball
player getting a Cantillon Fargo
Moorhead salary says something about
'busher.'"
that walloping that the Graingrow-
ers handed their pets on Thursday
must have left a bad taste in the
mouths of the Superior fans.
