BISMARCK

with a large delegation OF fans, mo- |
tored to Irondale last Sunday after
noon, where they were supposed to
play the Irondale team. But when the
game was called there were the small
number Of two Irondale players. the
rest being the Trainers for the Boy
Scouts, who are ON their regular out
ing at Camp Roosevelt. These men
play ball every day in the week, while
the home boys. not being all-stars,
play only on Sundays. We were not
a bit ashamed of the showing our boys
made, considering the team, the
grounds and the umpire they had to
contend with. The final score was Ia
to 2 in favor of the Scouts. Both
sides were BANKED in the first, Iron
dale scored three in the second on
successive hitting, and added four in
the third on successive hitting, after
Pitcher Barnes had received an injury
to his right hand by batted ball.
Irondale scored one more in the
fourth, and three in the seventh. The
home boys scored their first run in
the seventh and their last one in the
ninth. The home boys fought bravely
throughout the game, and we think did
fine to hold the score down. The most
of Irondale's runs were made by the
Scouts, which goes to prove that
the Irondale team is inferior to the
home team. The offerings of the Iron
dale pitcher were being whanged to
all parts of the diamond, his outfield-
ers were making circus catches and
his infiedlers were knocking down line
drives, which indicates that the Bis
marck boys had on their batting
clothes.
