BY "GILl."


Baseball fans from rar and near
were given a real treat Sunday after
noon, at the new park near the CAPT
toll, when the local aggregation and
the Halliday nine played sensation
al game, Bismarck trimming the Wis
itors to the tune of 8 to 0. 1t gas a
wonderful exhibition of the great pas
time and the hundreds of baseball
bugs on hand to see the teams in ac-
ton, with one accord, voted it the
best game staged in this city for
many seasons.
Both teams played great ball. Thrill
followed thrill throughout the nine
innings of air-tight ball and at no mo-
ment was the intense excitement dim
inished.
The work of the local infeld in It.
self was worth the price of admission.
Every player in the inner garden was
on his toes at all times and pep was
there in abundance. Two double
plays were pulled off in the fourth
and fifth innings with such lightning
quickness and sureness of action that
the huge audience was aWed. When
the crowd found itself the boys were
greeted with rounds of applause and
deafening cheering, the footing of the
automobile horns giving greater vol
ume to the reception accorded these
four crack ball tossers.
To the Visiting Nine.
Although the work of the local club
was so spectacular the visiting team
must not be forgotten. The Halliday
opponents of the game put up great
exhibition and proved themselves real
American sportsmen by taking their
defeat without the usual kicking and
hollering on close decisions. They
played consistent ball at all periods
but it can be truthfully stated that
the best team won and the visiting
players were not loath to admit this
fact and show their appreciation for
the excellent treatment given them
during their invasion of the Capital
City.
Good Feeling Prevails.
One feature that was noted at the
game Sunday and also the match OF
last Saturday. was the feeling of good
fellowship that prevailed. Not only
was this true between the players
themselves, but also amongst the
fans, and good plays were heartily ap
ed, whether performed by the home
guards or their opponents.
Baseball has come into it's own ir

boys and during the past week were
