boys of the local team feel that
they can again take the measure
of that team and make the suit in
any style to fit. Although the last
suit was a close fit, it was of the
tight-titting English cut variety
and it weathered through nicely
in the 9 innings of time.
Though the local boys had to
scrap the marrow from out of the
bones, they came last Friday ev-
ening satisfied that they. had en-
ough to fill their cravings. Now
this time they want to show that
bunch Of fence busters that des-
sert is proper for any meal and
intend to get all they can.
The automobiles that carried

They come to demonstrate
their ability to the breckenridge
Wahpeton Ball Team at Island
Park Sunday afternoon that they
can play this great American
game of base ball in real style.
That they can seems true by
the record they have made this
season so far, but you never can
tell. How David smote Goliath is

by that unfermented bunch of
broncho busters from Hankinson.
Old "Orton" comes here Sum-

will probably make you think
that there is total eclipse on the
sun and wonder why the Otter

into the Red river that has al

ball, the player will yank the cord
and First Baseman Boil will catch
it and put it on the runner.
That it will be a great game
there is no doubt and the Mag
mates of War on both sides have
fortified their forces to their very
best ability, and the gun will roar
and bayonet charges, with flags
of truce to bury the dead.
Mgr. Ward has departed for
the east and the local forces will
now be generated by Lefty Faust,

Havana Tuesday
Not Havana where Jack john
son met his waterloo, but Havana,
North Dakota and many ball
teams that have met that bunch
acted worse than Jack did for they
couldn't even stay rounds of
fighting. They merely gave up the
ghost when they started to Timber
up. Whether the B-W's will meet
their waterloo remains to be seen.
We don't think they will but you
can never tell. Havana plays
Hankinson Sunday and Monday
and then comes here on Tuesday.
So be out there and help the boys
by swinging a towel or giving
them a rundown when they come
to their corner.
