LOOKING EN- OVER

Joe Collins, Sunday, again proved
himself the champion lead-off man for
any baseball teams batting order,
when he started the ball rollin' on
three occasions and scored for the
local nine. Joe worked Northrop for
two free tickets to first and the third
time up slammed out single, each
time making the circuit and scor-
ing. Summer sayin's and SOmer not
Well all say he's good-what say,
Eddie?
Dougherty did we'll behind the bat
for the Mandan aggregation. He play
ed heady game at all times and was
of them-left of 500. (Taken from
Christy five times and secured four
hits. one for an extra sack. Nice
work, OF boy; nice work.
Northrop practically handed the
game to Bismarck. He walked quite
a few, quite a few. 1t is said that a
dozen passes would only mar a base
ball game but would put crap game
out of commission.
1t was reported that the Mandan
rooters were coming to Bismarck
Sunday by special train, 500 strong.
There was goodly number of fans
with the Mandan crew, but everyone
failed to count 500. All that was left
of them-left of 500. Taken from
Luke McLuke in the Farmers Poul-
try Magazine.)
Mandan made several rash state
ments as to what they would do to
the locals when they crossed bats
with them. People who ride high
horse are usually bothered by the al
titude, dontcha know. =
That new Mandan club didn't stack
up very good in the opinion Of the
majority. Maybe Connie Mack could
find few shining stars, but to our
eye there wasn't man on
the team who would strengthen the
local club materially.
In the Mandan "Squeek" of Friday
evening it was announced that the
sporting editor of the Tribune had al
ready played the game Sunday and
had slipped Bismarck win. 1t was
claimed that we seemed to hold the
opinion that the Capital City speed
demons should be leading the Nation

NAY AGAIN REPEAT
~
North Dakota Nine Clinging Te-
naciously at Top in Nor. s.
thern League.

Fargo, Aug. 14.-Climbing tena'
ciously to it's lead, and increasing the
margin slightly, Fargo-M oorhead dur
ing the past week has given evidence
that may indicate its ability to re-
peat its trick of last year, by again
coping the Northern pennant.
Three weeks ago, the club assumed
the leadership of the league, and now
the local club is riding three full
games ahead of its closest rival
with the closing of the season just
three weeks off today.

from Superior, while Winnipeg and
Duluth were idle, Fargo-Moorhead in.
creased it's margin full game The
present standing of the clubs follows:
Clubs w L Pct
Fargo Moorhead ....... 81 IL .636
Winnipeg 1t IL .552
Duluth ................ ID II .452
Superior .............. IL 20 1856
Both Winnipeg and Fargo4Moor-
head are on their home lots at the
present time. Winnipeg likely will
play every one of it's remaining games
on its home grounds, while Fargo
Moorhead must 60 to Winnipeg for
seven-game stay, and to Superior for
four games.
In the second league season, Winni.
peg had a remarkable advantage over
other clubs, playing As games at
home, and only 10 on the road. Fargo
Moorhead, on the other hand, had
but "a home games scheduled, as
against "a on the road-still, despite
that handicap Unglaub's men are in
front.
BY far the most spectacular work
of the past week has been the pitch
ing of Rock, Fargo twirler. At Du-
luth, he turned the Duluthians back
without a run and only four hits,
while Jimmy Burke, Detroit Ameri-
cans scout, and Chick Fraser, Pitts
burg National scout, was watching
him, while in this city Saturday. He
again pitched a shutout game against
Superior, allowing but two hits, fam
ming eleven batsmen and walking but
a single man.
Superior has been troubled with a
crippled pitching staff; Duluth has re.
leased Schafer, while the other clubs
are riding without changes.
