necessary. At that he held the OBJ
position to three hits and famed
twelve men. Strong, who succeeded
Miller in the second inning, pitched g
nice game, but weakened perceptably
in the ninth inning. The game was
listless and slow, there being few sen
sational fielding plays, altho Carlson
and Severinson contributed clever
catces for Willmar, and O'Niell robbed
McGrew~of hit in the seventh in

The members of the visiting team
were gentlemen in every sense of thu
word, and put up a good, clean game
1t is pleasure to have team like the
Traffic Club come to the city for {
game, and it was a noticeable fac
that wrangling and rag chewing wa.
conspicuous for it's absence.
