When one wearies Of a task. there
is nothing sweeter than to shove the
load upon some other mans shoulders
SO. naturally, after laboring through
two ball games Wednesday night, the
thought of continuing the operation
yestereve, was just a wee bit irksome.
But the Flickertails had broken a
hundred more Fargo hearts by win
ming another duo Of games, pay day
was just two days off and, somehow
or other, we had to make the paymas-
ter believe we earned the weekly sti-
pend.
So what was more natural than to
greet with both hands our old friend,
/. NJ. A. Krab. when he appeared at
the family bunk house last evening 1t
was even natural to forget that he
came to sponge a meal, for I. NJ. A. X.
saw both games. and, when properly
fed. cuts loose with the tongue and
iabbers through good account of
what he saw.
''Well." said Krah in that charac-
teristic tone of voice that presages a
comfortable yarn. THE Flickertails
won 4 to . and 6 to 0. But. OF course.

We assured him that we did. and.
then switched him to the main track.
Seemed All F1aherty.
ITO tell you the truth. Sports" he
continued. very little outside of Patsy
Flaherty happened out there at the
park. There was two ball games but
they wasn't in it compared to Patrick.
That Irishman had a perfect rotten
walnut bough. He jist took that Slim
Myers--you know him. don't yu?-
and picked him up by the scruff of
the neck and then slammed him all
over the dirt. And by the time him
and the rest of the fellers got through
with Slim he as about ten inches slim
mer. In the last innin' of the last
game. Slim was so beaten about he
asked Lefty to send Toreson in to
bat for him.
And Flaherty had his brain fac

What did he do that for? Say.
can't yu wait a mint before draRgin'
your tongue into this. This Carrigan,
who plays where Dutch Altman use
70. slammed a confiagration right at
Mickey Connell. and. would yu' be-
lfeve 1t. that guy let his meat hand
get right in between the ball and the
place where it was goin' to land and
1t didn't land where Carry thought it
ould. Patrick was tearin' home and
Anderson was on third. Connell did a
little hurryin' hisself and chucked the
ball to Sampson. who had to play for
Wtnona. and Patrick seen chanel to
make another run. So he give Carry
the high sign and then walked up and
says, Touch me out, Mr.. Sampson
Well. Sampson did. but by this time
Carrigan was Buicking to second and
Andy was waltzin' In. Sampson got
the ball to second as fast as he could,
but, when the guy out there seen An

Patrick nearly murdered Big Chief

third inning of the first game. Patrick,
to keep his share of bargain, started

Tor him-not long, though, tell you.
FOR some reason, Meyers didn't git up
after goin' to the dirt with Flaherty.
After they walked him to the dog
