HANKINS0N AND
VALLEY DIVIDE Two

Well, the tie still exists, and will
continue so for some time undoubt-
edly.
Valley City went down to Hankin-
son last Saturday with the intention
of breaking the tie which existed be-
tween the two hall teams, since they
played tie game here on the VAL
ley City diamond some time ago.
They won the first game Saturday by
score of 8 to T. Victory loomed
bright on the horizon after this. Base
ball fans who had been. waiting to
hear the result Of Saturdays game
at once packed their grip and pre-
pared to go down and witness repe-
tition of Saturdays performance.
They went down with money, and bags
prepared to bring back some Of the
Hankinson fans money. Instead they
left the bigger part of their own down
there. ~5 II
It was something like this, accord
ing to the tale Of the vanquished: The
game started out with Valley City in
the lead and pelting the apple in grand
style. They ran up four scores and
held the Hankinson bunch down to
goose egg. 1t went on this way until
about the sixth inning when the ball
loon went up. Wingfeld, the first
baseman for Valley City, injured an
old wound which he has been nursing
and quit the game. Goheen went to
first in his place. Then the merry go
round started. Hankinson started
making scores so fast that the base
lines began to get hot from the fric-
ton. When they stopped at the end
of the ninth, the score book read some
thing like this: Hankinson z; Valley
City 5. It was awful, the fans admit.
after having such start, but it
couldn't be helped. Hankinson would
have the scores and they got them. As
it stands now. Valley City has one
game and Hankinson has one, while
they both have half Of the first one.
A large delegation from here went
down to see yesterdays game.
Angel pitched for Valley City on
Saturday, while Adams was on the
! mound in yesterdays game.

by some lady yesterday morning, who
failed to leave her name. Mr.. Petit
bone wishes to thank her through
these columns, since he does not know
her name, and to express his graft
tude for receiving the keepsake. He
said that he could work better now
that he has got that off his mind.
The directory which Mr.. Pettibone
is working on now is the. fifth one to
be- gotten out for Valley City. 1t has
been four years since the last one was
issued in 1916. This is due to the
war which upset his plans, and which
Of course took a large part of the
population of Valley City into the
ranks of the U. S. army. He plans to
take the entire census of the city in
about four weeks. He has already
done some soliciting and finds great
many changes in the city since the
last directory was gotten out in 1916.
Several new businesses have been in
stituted since that time. He znds the
personnel Of a great many of the pub
lie institutions has been changed, as
we'll as several new officers holding
public Offices. ~...,
The census of Valley City as an
nounced by the government some time
ago was 1886. Mr.. Pettibone refused
to say whether he thought this was
right or not, but he expressed hope
that he would be able to come closer
to the 5000 mark. In this connection,
he stated that he found ALT persons
more. in Fargo than the government
census takers did. In Grand Forks
he found l78 more individuals living
in that city than the authorized census
takers did. :.....
Mr.. Pettibone has been in this busi-
ness for years, and all directories
which. he has gotten out have mea-
sured up to the needs of the city, and
has satisfied his customers in every
case. With no unforeseen develop
ments Mr.. Pettibone expects to have
the Valley City directory out by Sep
tember Is, or thereabouts.

strong clubs, with local pride and the
desire to win, come together. But
there has been a little of the other
kind, too, of nature that tends tc
spoil the real sport, such as the at
tempted fixing on the part of the man
agement Of the Valley City team when
in Cando, assisted more or less by a
certain temporary resident of this
city. Our relations with Valley City
have always been the most cordial and
friendly, and we do not believe that
the team itself, in whole or part, had
anything to do with the raw work that
was attempted; we know that neither
the Cando management or citizens
countenance any such work who ever
the perpetrator may be, and we do not
think the Valley City people will when
they know the facts. They are going
to know the facts in full, and the $3.50
guaranteed for the return games is
going to be paid.
The above from the Cando Herald
regarding any attempt at fixing any
of the Cando players or in any way
trying to do anything that was not
square is lie pure and simple. The
Cando people tried to dodge the pay
ment of the $3.50 guaranteed for the
return games at Cando by the Valley
City team and in so doing took the
dirty method of trying to frame up
"trying to fix our players" as means
for getting rid of paying this amount.
But Valley City does not intend to
stand for this kind of a crooked deal.
The Cando editor should know, if he
doesn't know, that no attempt was
made by the Valley City management
to fix any of the Cando players and
the management of the Cando outfit
knows this only too well. Our team
went up there in good faith to play
the return games as agreed upon and
played those games on the square and
they are entitled to this expense
money. No fixing was attempted by
anyone connected with the Valley City
management and the insinuation of
the Cando paper is dirty and uncalled
for.

Blue BOOK TO
SHOW CHANGES

The North Dakota "Blue Book" !"
which is being published this year for
the first time since 1918, contains the
official vote in elections since the
nonpartisan league came into power
in the state.
Publishers of the "Blue Book" The
Bismarck Tribune Co., will begin
making deliveries to the secretary of
state the latter part of the week. In
addition to valuable statistics, the
book contains many historical articles.
The highwater mark of the nonpar-
tisan league tide in the state was
reached in the election Of 1916, the
official figures show. Governor Lynn
J. Frazier received 28,310 more votes
in the election of 1916 than in the
primary Of 1920.
An interesting figure of the COM
pilations is the striking manner in
which the Socialist party disappeared
in North Dakota as the nonpartisan
league gained in power. In the elec-
tion of 1914, ]. A. Williams, socialist
candidate for governor, received 6,019
votes.
In the election of 1918 the party
candidate received 2,615 votes, and
in 1918 the candidate for Governor
received but II votes After this the
party lost its entity.
The figures also show the great in
crease in the number of votes cast
since the republican primary Of 1914.
In that primary L. B. Hanna, candi~
date for the nomination for governor
received 26,261 votes; U. L. Burdick,
22,195 votes and J. H. Wishek, 1915
votes a total of 81 POI votes as COM
pared to 1926 votes cast in tho
1920 republican primary. In the elec-
tion of 1914, Mr.. Hanna received A.
27S votes to 34,746 for F. O. He'll

BASEBALL SEASON
CLOSES AT CAND0

The 1920 baseball season in Cando
closed with last Sundays game. The
team has been disbanded, and the
players have left for their respective
homes. Taken as whole it has been
a successful season, in spite of the
difficulty when the team began playing
to secure sufficient good players to
play winning ball. We have had some
strong rivalry and some snappy teams
to go up against. The rivalry has
mostly been of a clean, sportsmanlike
nature. such as is to be expected when

TW0.MJURED WHEN
I. CARS COLLIDE

One of the worst automobile acci-
dents to occur this year happened Fri
day afternoon about $3.50 at the inter-
section of Ninth Avenue north and
Fourth street west. One Of the cars, a
Ford touring, driven by Christ Ryan
of this city coming from the east on
Fourth street, rap into a Maxwell
touring car, going south on Ninth
avenue, driven by Carl Monson, from
the Kathryn vicinity. He was accom-
panied by Miss Eva Olstad who is
employed here in the City Bakery.
Both are young folks.
They were coming down Ninth ave-
nue., according to witnesses, at mod
crate rate of speed, when the other
car driven by Ryan, coming from the
east ran into them, turning the car
completely over, and leaving it stand
ing upright, facing to the northeast.
The tenders on the Maxwell were bent
up, the two hind wheels broken, the
!, top completely demolished, the hood
and radiator dinged in and some dam
age done to the engine. The tires
were cut up considerable also. It is
certainly miraculous that the young
folks escaped with as light injuries as
they did. The young man was cut up
by flying glass, and bumped up con-
siderable when the car went over.
The girl also received some minor in
juries. They were taken into the J.
E. Featherstone residence, in front of
which the accident occurred, and their
wounds dressed by DR.. Pray. Unless
they are injured internally, both OF
them will perhaps come out of the
accident all right, except for bad
scare and the scratches received. They
were able to leave the Featherstone
home last evening.
The damage done to the Ford was
s. negligible, only the tenders being bent
up little bit. This is in contrast to
the Maxwell, which will be almost an
entire loss, as the money required to
repair it would almost buy new car.
2 According to the stories which are,
being circulated neither car was go.
ing at a big rate of speed, but ac-
cording to one story the Ford was on
the wrong side Of the street, although
we do not know this to be fact, and
are not stating is as such. -
