RECORD BREAKING CROWD WITNESSES OPENING OF
MONSTER BASEBALL TOURNAMENT WINS
OVER BISMARCK BY TO COUNT IN FAST GAME
SUNDAY

with Bismarck Sunday. Snap and
pep they possess in abundance and
the large crowd in attendance was de-
lighted with the entertainment provid-
ed for them.
Hannah pitched good ball for the
visitors but his win was entirely due
to the support afforded him by his
teammates. Siebert did some classy
work at the receiving end of the bat
terry but as all the players on the
team played excellent ball no indi-
vidual stars can be mentioned.
Thorson Twirls in Good Form.
The crowd was with Thorson, the
clever little south-paw mound artist
for Bismarck, and he had everything
work was Of the stellar variety and
had he been given the support that
the Stanton hurler received there
would have been a different story to
tell.
Wilkins played his usual heady
game and cracked out a hit and sac
rificed once out of four trips to the
plate. Pilot was there with the stick
as usual while molly" Rockford was
the star performer on the diamond.
Stanton Starts Early.
Stanton got an early start and
walk and two wild heaves were re-
sponsible for the first run in the mi
tial inning. In the second j. Brown
slammed out two-bagger, Ankaberg
was safe on Kinks error and Brown
hit the dirt and was safe at the rub
Der. Sherlock singled and Ankaberg
Travelled homeward. This ended the
scoring for the game.
Bismarck had Hannah in the hole
in two innings but poor work with the
stick at these crucial moments sent
the home team to the field again. In
the seventh two singles and walk
filled the bases but pop fly and a
fast double play squelched the hopes
of the home fans. Again in the ninth
three singles filled the bases with but
one out, but the succeeding batsmen
were easy outs.

Bv "GILL"

Bismarck's monster baseball tourn'
ament opened yesterday morning and,
if the two games scheduled for today
are anywhere near equal in quality
and spice to the two staged yesterday,
the fans will be delighted with, the en-
tertainment provided for them and
will not be lax in spreading the news
that it was the biggest and best
tournament ever presented in the
state"
Bismarck and Mandan met at the
park yesterday morning in the open
er and the latter aggregation nOsed
out a win by Z to 6 score. The
game was fast and exciting all the
way through, the majority of the ex-
citement being caused by consider
able wrangling among the players,
umplres and fans.
Both teams played great ball all
the way thorugh and the winner was
a matter of conjecture until the last
man was retired.
Talcott did the twirling for the To-
calls and he pitched in stellar form up
to the ninth, when he weakened and
the visiting club slipped over tally
which gave them victory. Never
theless, the Bisamrck youth is en-
titled to deal of credit for his work
and his next appearance on the
mound will be awaited with interest
by all.
HazeIton Defeats Stanton:
HaZeltOn sprung surprise yester-
day afternoon when they slipped over
a 5 to victory over the crack nine
from Stanton. It is estimated that
more money was placed on the Stan
ton team to nose out the winner iv
yesterdays match than has ever be-
fore been bet on team in this vicin-
ity.
The game was called in the first of
the, sixth owing to the heavy rain
storm that invaded the capital city,
but Hazelton had such a large lead
that had the shower been delayed
until the entire nine innings were
completed, there is absolutely no
doubt but that they would still have
been to the front.
Hazelton started strong and took
an early lead, which they maintained
all the way thorugh. Both teams put
up classy article of ball and the
hundreds of fans in attendance were
more than pleased with the exhibition.

valued at over $50 ton The Des Moines
company has erected on this ground sew

work on the property. A drying shed
22x7O feet has been built for the purpose
of drying the crude product, thereby
making saving in more than one-fifth

material is shipped to eastern factories
where electrical processes prepare the
substance for fitering. The Des Moines
company has placed on the market a fl

sponse to a cordial invitation issued by

Enthusiastically enjoyed during the early
part of the evening.
Gerald was brought to the scene by
auto from the country where he had
been spending the day With friends.
The guests had all arrived and there is
no question that the young man was sur.
prised and greatly so. After the early
evening spent at games, a delicious
luncheon was served on the lawn, the
table presenting rich and beautiful
appearance under the dancing lights,
with its array of cut flowers and spark
ling glass. A birthday cake pull of
prophesying symbols was cut and every
one learned something of his or her
future by the trophy which he drew
After the luncheon the floor of one of
the spacious rooms was cleared, and the
guests enjoyed delightful dance until
the prizes won in the progressive games
were awarded. Miss Doris Hanley won
ladies' frst prize, beautiful bag, and
Miss Gladys Fitch carried off second,
also dainty bag, after drawing with
Miss Grace Kubler who had the same
number of points. Eric Heidepriem

DESCRIPTIVE FOLDERS.

Copies of the folder which has been
issued by the Secretaries Association of
the Black Hills Commercial clubs have
reached the secretary here. 1t is very
neat folder showing the beauty spots Of
the different localities of the Hills and
is a credit to the Association. A proper
distribution of these folders will do a
world of good this season.
There is one distinctive feature about
the folders that is part of the policy of
the Association The smaller communi-
ties in the Black Hills are really given
more prominence in these folders than
the larger ones, and this was done on
purpose to further promote the spirit of
unity and cooperation that is permeat-
ing the Black Hills, the larger clubs
feeling that they could well afford to
make a little sacrifice in publicity on be-
half of their smaller neighbors, who
have been quick to see the point and to
appreciate the spirit of fairplay behind
it.

riders exceling in their art. The
menagerie, too, was good, and of a vari-

the Japanese acrobats was as good as
can be seen in shows of that character.
The side shows attracted good crowds,
and the merry -go-around, which was
stationed at the corner of Custer Avenue
and Fifth street, was a busy place all
day.
No accidents of any sort were report.
