Aggregation in Canadian
City Yesterday.

Fargo, N. D.. June 5.-Fifteen men
faced three Fargo-Moorhead pitchers
in h sixth inning of the first .twi-
light" ball game played in this city
this season. n Minot won q hard
hitting game from Denny Sullivan's
gang by a score of 10 to 5 at the Far
go college stadium last night. The
game was called in the seventh in
ming on account of darkness.
Everything was in favor of the local
club up to the end of the fifth inning.
Mclaughlin, backed up by spectacu-
lar fielding. managed to wade through
the first five innings giving only five
hits for two runs while the locals hit
opportunity for a total of five runs.
Although Murray experienced sew
en- troublesome innings. he was most
effective with men on bases and aided
by almost perfect fielding managed to
hold out through the entire storm.
He was a trifle wild at times and his
wildness figured in at least two Of
the runs scored by the home club. The
score: r. H. E.

FOOD GOING 70 WASTE.

Cork, Ireland, June 6.-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press.)-
Although politicians and newsps-
pers in England are talking about
food famine. thousands Of barrels of
excellent food are going to vast in
the Irish fishing ports, owing to the
haphazard and demoralized condition
of transport. Catches around Cork
and Kerry have never been so large
at this season. but fishermen often
find it impossible to dispose of their
catches probably. although the prices
ruling in England are double those
of normal times.
Railways in the southwest of Ire
land decline to receive consignments
of fish this year unless the charges
are prepaid, and as the fishermen are
mostly not men of capital and unused
to this method of doing business, this
has meant in practice a prohibition Of
traffic.
Another hindrance to shipments has
been the impossibilfty at many places
OF getting crates or barrels to contain
fish bound for the markets. In nor
NAL times the empty crates were re-
turned in three days or less. but at
present "empties' are often as many
weeks en- route.
Last week ten thousand dollars
worth Of fish belonging to a single
shipper was allowed to spoil on the
! freight platforms here, the railway
refusing to take 1t owing to some
congestion Of shipping between Ire
land and England,
