Patience has it's reward" so the
old saying goes, and the many fans
who turned out to witness the ball
game at the new park Sunday be-
tween the local nine and the team
representing Regain are of the opinion
that the above mentioned epigram is
true. After waiting for an hour and
three-quarters the Regain opponents Of
the national pastime hove into view
in their ''jitneys and Immediately en-
sued a battle royal. The Bismarck
team took the long end of 4 to 2
count after nine innings Of snappy
baseball.
The game was one of many thrills
and the large crowd in attendance
was kept in suspense throughout
Good swatting, fast fielding, pep"
all the way through and few wild
throws sums up the contest.
The game was announced for $3.50
but the Regain boys were delayed in
starting and after eventually getting
underway at o'clock they were held
up by "heavy seas" and arrived at
the ball grounds at 5:15. No time
was lost in getting started and the
fans were rewarded for their long
wait by a first-cl&c exhibition of base
ball.
Baker took the mound for the locals
and twirled in excellent form for the
entire nine innings. wilkins. the new

slant worry to base runners. Neck

duled to appear at short, failed to
show up for some unknown reason
and many of the fans were disappoint-
ed because they did not get an oppor
tunity to look him over.
Johnson started in the box for the
visitors but slowed up in the fourth
and Abrahamson relieved him in the
fifth. The latte" feld down his job
well and if he had been doing the
heaving from the start it is likely the
locals would have lad a harder time
at the plate.
Every man on both teams is worthy
of honorable mention lor all played
consistent ball. Finnegan, especially,
is to be commended for his work Dur
ing practice he chased a line drive
and the ball broke thorugh his nit
and struck him a hard blow in the
nose. He was rushed to a physician
and after the MANNED member had
been cared for he returned in time for
the opening and played good ball.
