| Farmers may not win the championship,
| but there is no club in the circuit better
| fortified in any department, nor is there
| another that looks like a more capable
combination on the field If the Aggies
! fail to win the title. it will be because
| they have been outgamed or have failed
| to get any of the breaks.
In Hartley, Rosseau and Eidsness the
| club seems to have about as capable an
| aggregation of pitchers as any of the
| others. while Fraser is just about as val
liable behind the bat as any of the other
| catchers. The infield and outfield appear
just as strong. as a whole though in one
! or two positions other teams are stronger.
Asa combination it appears that Agri-
culture has something on the Others and
it will be owing to reasons stated if it
does not represent the league in the post
season series.
The games in the amateur leagues yes
terday were productive of good and poor
