M.nha..et Score. . Shut.Ou

Using every ounce of their fighting
power. the Manhasset baseball team
scored shut out over the Leland
Clifford team of Worcester on the
Manhasset grounds last Sunday af-
ternoon. 1t was not the easy walk
over the team has had in its last three
games, but was hard fought game,
the kind that makes baseball popular
Several times the Manhassets found
themselves in hole, but Cournoyer
and Nelson were steady and it was
due in a great degree to their steadi.
ness that kept the visiting team from
crossing the pan.
It was in the seventh that the Wor-
cesterites came the nearest TO break
ing into the scoring. With none out
Lee reached third. Nelson dropped
the third strike on Sheehan and fol
lowed him down the baseline, Cour-
meyer covering the rubber. When

No Came Last Sunday

Money was returned to the thou
sand fans assembled at North eros
venordale last Sunday to see the Ash
lands of Jewett City 20 up against
the Braves for the second game this
year. All the spectators saw was
some practice by the visiting team,
: hich lasted about an hour II was
then announced that the ga'he was of
and tnnse who had paid could get
their money back.
Sunday evidenced another element
Of uncertainty that has entered INTO
semi-professional baseball This ele-
ment is the automobile which is prone
to experience difficulty when least ex-
peeted and when less wanted. Seven
Grosvenordale players left Providence
in machine and when entering de-
tour the car tipped over. Although
no one was hurt the unlucky seven
found themselves in difficulties. Mem
bers of the team hunted up tele-
phone and called Putnam and ordered
another car. The driver could not
find the stalled car and returned. In
the meantime Manager McDermott
chartered an auto and set out to find
his players. He had no better luck
and could not find any trace of his
men.
Not long after the game had been
called off and the money returned,

The New Metropolitan will not open
its doors until Monday night. This
announcement was made yesterday by
Frank Mccarthy, local representative
OF Mccarthy Brothers, lessees of the
theater. It was planned to open the
theater Thursday night, but owing to
the failure of much needed supplies
to reach the city, it has been 5impossi-
bile for the workmen to complete
their work in time to permit opening
tomorrow night. 1t was Mr.. Nc
Carthy's desire to have everything i'll

completed for the opening night, and
because it has been impossible to do
this by Thursday night. it was deemed
/; expedient to delay the first perform

Mr.. Mccarthy has made an agree
ment with VIM. Finley to furnish the
music for all New Met attractions.
MI. Finley, whose reputation as a mu-
stefan has been well founded thru
out the northwest, will provide a sew
en- piece orchestra, consisting of piano,
violin. cello, cornet, trombone, clarinet
and drum and traps. Mr.. Finley plays
excellent music, as Grand Forks people
know, so patrons Of the New Metro
