TWO MORE GAMES
FOR THE WHITES
MANDAN next.

IMANDAN MAI
The Dickinson "Whites" again
came out victorious, winning both
games of two game series from
the New England team. The first
game was 6 to 1 and the second was
II to z. :
s The first game played before a
good sized crowd on the 4th was
good snappy game with little jang-
ling. The day was warm and the
grounds were in fine shape. Both
pitchers were in good form, Gardner
having the edge on Beppler, the south
paw for the visitors. Beppler is a
good pitcher but the support given
was not Of the best. The locals found
him for Z hits, while he struckout 7
men. Five errors were chalked up
against the visitors. Three hits were
secured from Gardner's delivery, one
in the fifth, one in the seventh and
one in the ninth, while he handed
out ten strike outs. Two errors were
made by the locals.
The elegant set of Meerschaum
pipes that were offered by the T. J.
Greene Drug Co., were won by Man
ager Davis in the fifth inning when
he drove out the first home run of
the season on the local grounds.
Coming to bat first in this inning,
Clint meant to start things right.
He could see big hole between the
left fielder and the foul line and just
beyond was another where the en-
trance gate was open. A crack of
the bat and away Clint went, the ball
hitting fair near the foul line and
rolled through the gate as Clint raced
to second. The ball reacher the in
field on the throw in just after third
was passed, but Beppler secured it
too late to catch Clint at home. Clint
has always been the old "stand by
and a hard plugger for the team; so
it was a pleasure to all to see him
get away with the honors. In the
eighth Robinson, not to be outdone,
and to show that all things are pos
sible, pulled off twin to Davis
stunt. He hit the ball to almost the
same place, the ball rolling through
the gate and was recovered too late
to stop the score. So both the "main
stays" of the team showed the young
sters how it was done.
/ Another big feature of the game
was the sensational running one hand
catch of Ecklund's fly in the fifth by
AL. Kroneshnable. With one man on
first and two out Ecklund came to
bat with the score one to one. He
landed on the ball for what looked
like a two or three bagger to the
left center field fence. 1t seemed
like an impossible catch but "Kronie"
was after it at top speed. With his
arms outstretched he just reached
it few feet from the fence, retir-
ing the side without a score. This
was the turning point in the game.
The lone score made by New Eng
land came in the first inning. Eek
lund, the first man up, hit pop up
to Cullen, who dropped it, landing
batter safe at first. Ecklund stole
second. Stangebye then reached first
on fielder's choice, Ecklund being
safe at third. Ecklund scored on Pot
ter's out, while Stangebye was caught
between second and third, when
Gardner hit a grounder. Connolly
then flew to Cullen for the third out.
