Grand Forks daily herald and the evening times., 1914-07-02

After greasinG the typewriter sklds
carefully. preparatory to a little his
torical iaunt through last evenings
nightmare, we pause to announce that
the Adopted Twins again defeated our
Flickertails. They rubbed il in to the
extent of 9 TO 3. We might also re-
late that the Twins trounced us o
times in succession.
Yesterdays paStime is funny-now
hat it is all over. Seldom is a ball
game seen into which SO many inter-
ssting features are crowded. From
the loud growing of the ~ninety-nine
horsepower fog horn from Fargo to
the final score, there was not Il dun
one
There also We're one or two dis
graceful things in connection with the
affair. Pop-bottle throwing lone has
been tabooed in civilized communities
n the laying-for-the-umpire'
stunt has taken its place in the
category of stone-age rough stuff. a
few more sue performances on the
part of some of the fans Grand
Forks will have a fine, little reputa-
ton around the circuit.
Eddie Wheeler was ficked from the
field in the third inning last night. be-
cause he raised his voice in dispute.
Umpire Olson was peeved To think
that a player would have the nerve to
question his ability and integrity as
an arbiter of the great national pas
time, and, just to show hat he still
was the Cock o. the walk, banished
the local manager from the diamond.
He not only banished him, but tied
a fine to Wheeler's uniform as the
latter was walking off the diamond.
His Umplets also levelled fifteen
dollars on Pitcher Donley. but. after
considering the difficulties of getting
a meal ticket when you're broke, he
relented and lifted the hurler's assess
ment. Donley was fined because he
tried to explain the course taken ny
a couple of the Fargo fingers offer
ings.
But all this is neither here nor
there. What really matters is the
fact that we We're beaten-soundly.
roundly n conclusively spanked.
Donley did the delivery work for
the locals. He was hit hard during
the first five innings, but after that he
settled down and held the visiting
sluggers in hand. Three hits were
punched on him in the frs, frame and
they went for four runs Three hts,
together with an error and a hit bats
man. mi three more in the third.
The third inning saw Oleon's close
decision. which resulted in Wheeler's
Punishment. Weidell, who was on
second. started for third on Unglaub's
hit. The ball was fielded to Wheeler,
and he a ample time to tag Wei
dell. The latter ran backward. at
least three feet off the haselinc. and
clrcled around to the sack. Even if
Wheeler did not tag him, he should
nave been called out. but Olson gave
him life. Wheeler did not like the
decision, and lost no time in telling
Olson so. Ergo. he was benched.
Freer took his place.
Klontz started for the visitors, and
went along for nearly four complete
innings. In the fourth frame. the To-
calls punched two singles and two
doubles on him, and Unglaub yanked
him. Greisel, who handed us a pack
age the other day. finished. The
Flfckertails got twelve hits. but. ex-
cept in a couple of innings, they came
at the wrong time.
The visitors got a quartet of healthy
scores in the first frame. Schiller
