call that dates back for generations.
Anybody who's ever been with the big

nerve wracking. and If he can ever
get to the place where he can have O
little farm and few chickens and a

see him again. But, when the bluebird
sings in the spring and the mcnagerie

A base on balls, hit batsman and
three hits, two of them doubles, mixed
with an untimely error by Debus, gave
Warren five runs in the sixth inning
of yesterday afternoons game, con-
tributing very largely to an to win
over Fargo Moorhead in the final
game of the series. 1t was Warren's
first win of the season, and an earned
win at that. The paid admissions
numbered less than hundred.
The visitors hit the ball cleanly,
fielded nicely and took advantage OF
most of the breaks of the game. There
was no stopping them once they were
in the lead.
The game was also baptism for
Jake Thieman, recruit pitcher, who
found the Warren swatters tough
medicine for five innings. He broke
in the sixth, watching the rest of the
game from the dugout. Thomas,
pitcher outfielder secured from st. Jo-
seph in the Western league. finished
the game, but not until after Warren
had added two more runs in the ninth.
Opposed to Thieman and Thomas
was Lefty Mccoy, released to War
rem by Fargo Moorhead some ten days
ago. the victim of the first game here
Friday. Mccoy pitched good and bad
ball but managed to keep his nine
hits and gifts so we'll scattered that

Neus From The World Of Sport
BILL FISCHER, EX-FED. CATCHER rs
HITTING THE BALL HARD FOR PIRATES

Pittsburgh, May IL. Bill Fischer
the large ex-Fed catcher, has been
pounding the ball in way to cheer
Jimmy Callahan, Pirate manager. With
plenty of other worries over the
Pirates poor start this season Gala
han is happy to have something to be
cheerful about.
Several seasons ago Fischer was a
recruit with Joe Tinker's Chicago
Whales and made a good showing in
the Federal league. A showing in
the Federal league isn't quite the
same as good pace in the big show
and Fischer has shown a great i'm
provement in every department of his
work since joining the Pirates.
His heavy clouting so far this year
has been the best of his performing,
although he has been catching most
of the games and displaying fawless
form behind the bat. With young
Chuck Ward. the st. Louis boy, who is
trying to I'LL Wagner's shoes at short,
Fischer has been doing most of the
teams clouting. Carney, Schultz and
Hinchman have done more slumping
than anything else SO far and without
Ward and Fischer the team would
have been in even sadder straits.
Callahan believes that Fischer will
keep up the clip he has set all through
the season and that he will show him
self to be one of the best young catch
ers to come into fast company for sew
eral seasons. The Pirates obtained
Fischer from the Cubs last summer.

OTTER TAIL LAKE fine
FIELD FOR PIKE EGGS
Deputy Game Warden Believes State
Hatchery Should Be Located
4 There,

Fergus Falls. Mimi. May 15.-Dep-
uty Game Warden J. H. Jones has
completed the work of collecting pike
eggs at Otter Tail lake. He has been
very successful during the past week
or two and has demonstrated that this
is an excellent place to secure eggs,
and also that it would be an ideal
site for a fish hatchery. A movement
to secure such hatchery is now under
way and H. c. Hanson, proprietor of
the Pleasure Park resort at the inlet
of the lake, has offered to donate an
acre of ground for the site. The game
and fish commission will equip the
hatchery If funds can be raised for the
necessary buildings. The cost of these
would be about $500 and a subscrip-
ton list Is being circulated to raise
this amount. Residents of the neigh
borhood will do their share and it is
felt that some money should be con-
tributed in this city and neighboring
villages, as hatchery will mean
more fish for all the lakes of the
county.
