LINTON TAKES TWO FROM HAZ.
ELTON
Stock Show Day Game Goes to Lin
ton As Does League Game Sunday
Between Linton and Hazelton.
Linton's base ball standing has
somewhat improved during the past
week. Wednesday the team went to
Hazelton to play that team at the
stock show. Linton had it's regular
line-up,ex that Fettig caught in
place of Stewart, who was called to
| Bismarck for Federal examination as
a result Of a wound in military SER
vice. Hazelton had strengthened up
by hiring Anderson, catcher, and
Schwartz, second baseman, of the Bis
marck team. It helped their lineup
materially, but it wasn't enough to
win. Anderson is the star hitter of
the Bismarck team. Whenever he
comes to bat in Bismarcll wave Of
applause goes through the grand
stand. However his hitting was not
exceptional at Hazelton. He got a
couple Of drives for two bases, and the
rest Of his efforts were pop flies to
the infield. Schwartz did fair hit
ting, and is demon on bases. Bech-
tol and Wright had been benched for
the game.
The Stock Show game ended 8 to Z
in favor Of Linton, and was a battle
every inch of the way. First one
team and then the other would forge
ahead, Linton having the one score
lead when the game was over. In
the second, Linton drew down one
score, and Hazelton two. In the
fourth, Linton got two more. In the
fifth, Hazelton got one and Linton
four, making the score to 8. In the
seventh Hazelton got three, and in the
eighth both teams scored once.
There was considerable raging
in this game, at one time it develor-
ing that the scorers did not agree,
the Linton scorer showing the stand
| ing to be to 8 in favor of Linton,
while Hazelton's scorer showed six to
six. The argument then waxed warm,
and it finally developed that Hazelton's
scorer had not scored. Mohn, of Lin
ton, nor accounted for him with put
out either. The umpire Strengthened
the matter out, declaring the score
to seven to six in favor of Linton.
Cent?, Of Temvik, and a Mr.. Grim
son, visiting in Hazelton, ;umpired.
Both appeared to be trying to give
fair decisions, but both teams had
kicks coming at times. .5
In the Sunday game, Linton ran
away with things Is to 2, although
the game was q sea-saw until the
seventh. Hazelton started out
strong, scoring four times in the first
innings. Errors by o. Becker, Rus
sell, walk ard home run, did the
damage. Hazelton scored one again
in the second, fourth and seventh.
Linton made one in the second, third,
fifth, and two in the fourth, sixth and
ninth. and six in the eighth. The
game was slow and groggy, lasting
just a little less than four hours
Considerable Raging delayed the pro-
lceedings, one argument, lasting just
three-quarters Of an hour. John Sny-
der and Bradberg, Of Hazelton, start
ed umpiring, and Snyder quit after
an argument in the seventh. G. Paul.
son then finished the job. The long,
est argument came in the seventh.
With the score six to five in favor
of Hazelton, Russell got as far as
second. Fairchild hit to the outfeld
for double. Russell scored, and the
ball went. wild when an attempt was
made to cut Russell off at the plate.
Fairchild went to third on the throw
home, and scored on the overthrow.
As Russell ran home, Enoch Becker,
who. was on the coaching line, ran
I.part way down parallel to the runner.
