Fathers Lose to Sons

The Fathers" VS.. "Sons" ball
game at the fair grounds last Friday
afternoon proved easy picking for
the sons. The Fathers" looksdslike
real ball players, though, all dressed
up in natty red suits, which belong
to the famous Ingvoldstad brothers
nine. ~
In the fathers line up G. F. Baker
officiated behind the bat, and moth
ing got by him; Ed Olson and Ray
Anger changed off in the pitchers
box; H. j. Hutchinson showed
splendid speed and action at short,
while Rev. Glesne covered first base
like veteran; Eli Torrison, a form
er star pitcher on the Luther Eofsae
team OF 1898 played secorN; Ed
Olson held down the third sack,
while the garden men were Henry
Ostreim, left field, VIM. Berhatz,
center field and Lars Nesheim, right
field. Il
About FIVE innings were played and
the score stood to in favor Of the
sons. H. j. Hutchinson and r.
Alyger scored on two base hit by
G. F. Baker, in the fourth. Baker
could just as well as not made a
home run, but he didn't like to show
his son up, who was doing the pitch
ing. Anger had previously nSse a
two Dagger on a "long foul" along
the right field line. Hutchinson
should have scored on the hit, but
he played safe and rested on third.
Alyger is a southpaw pitchers and
has an awful wicked throw.s II
looks now as if he will be in de-
mand in the big leagues. A good
crowd was out to see the game, and
lot of fun was had by all.
