SUFFER

FERGUS FALLS SALARIED AG-
IRRIGATION WON LAST WE'D
NESDAY'S GAME, 9 TOT
LACK OF pep" MANIFESTED
PAYNESVILL GAME WAS FAIRLY
GIVEN TO VISITORS SCORE
FOUR TO THREE.

Jim Segers' Regulars dropped two
straight last week. Wednesday they
went to Fergus Falls and were trim
med 9 to 1. Sunday they met up with
the Paynesville aggregation at the
Fair Grounds and were Inundated A
to 8. At Fergus Falls the locals
went up against the toughest propo-
sition they encountered this year and
admit they were outclassed. Every
man on the team is hired player and
it is one Of the fastest aggregations in
the Northwest. The score hardly in
dicates the relative worth of the two
teams, however, as the Fergus Falls
right field is clogged with trees and
as eight of the home batsmen are left
handed hitters they repeatedly sent
high ones into the woods for hits that
ordinarily would have been outs.
The Paynesville game Sunday will
remain as nightmare to the special
ors who witnesses it. The locals had
about as much pep as hobo looking
for work and literally handed the
game to the visitors. Every score
garnered by the visitors was made on
errors or after the side should have
been retired. The Regulars piled up
eight misplays but in their own score
getting were aided some by the five
errors of the visitors. Roth and Van
Worst both pitched good ball and with
clean support the game would have
been hummer.
The comedy began in the first five
minutes of play. After Miller and
Abitz had been easy outs, Seavey hit
to Lee, who threw wide and low to
Bradley on an easy chance. Gunder
singled and scored behind Seavey when
Arthur sent out a corking double.
The inning should have been blank.
The locals went out in order.
Sank Centre scored one in the Sec
and. jacobson famed. Schwartz was
safe when Roach dropped his high fly
in left. Arnestad was safe when Ar
thur failed to touch the bag on Mil
ler's peg. Roth singled and Schwartz
scored. Franta and Lee were easy
outs.
Two more were chased across in the
fourth, sending the locals in the lead.
jacobson led off with a double to
right and scored when Miller let
Schwartz drive through him,
Schwartz going to second. Roth sent
him to third with pretty sacrifice
and he scored when Franta was safe
at first through Arthur failing to hold
the ball. 1t was the last score getting
of the locals.
Paynesville took the lead and game
in the sixth. After Gunder flew out
to Bradley, Arthur sent one out to
Franta which he dropped, Arthur tax
ing second. L. Van Worst flew out to
Franta, C. Van Worst walked and both
men scored when Philips hit to left
and Franta let the ball get by him.
The locals also pulled three double
plays which cut down the scoring.
The score.

- Any troubles or worries that oGv-

now entered on the Iron Range,
where a miners strike is in progress.
Last week the governors connection
with the strike was made somewhat
embarrassing by the report from
Washington, made by certain labor
propagandists, that his excellency was
giving the strikers the worst OF it.
The intimation was that the Steel cor
poration was being favored. That the
charge is untrue is borne out by facts,
but there is one thing certain and
that is that the governors represen-
tative, Gustav Lindquist, whom his
exceHency selected to personally visit
the strike country and report on con-
ditions, is not delivering the goods.
Lindquist, to be plain about it, is not
big enough for the job. The cry on
