RAIN PREVENTS
SECOND GAME

Grand Forks, N. D., July 22.-About
3:15 yesterday afternoon the heavens
opened n let fall enough moisture
to do this community for the rest OF
the season, and the armies of wheeler
and Unglaub were forced to stack
arms and hunt cover after donn1ng
their fighting clothes n marching to
the battlefield, where they went
through a few preliminary maneuVers
previous to the impending engagement
scheduled to take place at 4 o'clock,
and the day passed peacefully.
There will be much smoke and noise
today. Because they could not get at
each ether yesterday, the two aggre--
gait Jns will go at 1t just twice as hard
today, staging two combats for the
benefit of the bloodthirsty multitude,
the first at 2:3O and the second at
$50, with a regular admission to each
exhibition.
Both leaders are out for all there is
in it. Wheeler is going to show the
down-state duo that the victory OF
Monday can be repeated, while ing
laub is just as certain that it cant
be did.
Eddie's pitching staff has begun to
assume smaller proportions. At one
time he had nine fingers warming the
boards in the dugouts; now he has
five. The first to go was Paul Morse,

Wheeler now has on his staff n

for San Antonio, in h Texas league.
The rig fellow has been pitching good
ball in most instances and will prob
ably be called upon to bear the brunt
of the f1inging. for a time. Donovan, a
recruit, but by no means a novice at
the ga me, was tried u and in a thir-
teen inning game against Fort William
proved that he could pitch. He is an
other of the present outfit. Hanson
has not yet received the baptism Of
fire, although he went in against Far
go-Mc orhead in the opener Monday
and went well for the three innings
that he threw. He was obtained from
Jamestown and will have to be tested

as a fixture. Then there is Henry, the
