The Elvins base ball team was the
fifth victim of those murderous bats
that are being welded by nine fellows
who hail from Bismarck. The Elvins
pitchers were battered worse than
Dempsey battered "Carn" the previous
day. After the dust of the battle had
settled and the final count had been
made it showed Bismarck had IS to
their opponents 5. A large crowd was
present to witness the fifth straight
triumph of the home team. The fine
fielding of Kirkendall Of the home
team, Sisk's fine base running, and
Barnes fine pitching were easily the
outstanding features of the battle.
There was very little arguing during
the progress of the game. 1t started
off as though it would be a pitchers
battle and ended in slaughter Of the
visiting moundsmen. Elvins scored
first on errors. Bismarck tied the
score in their part of the first on hit
by Sisk. Elvins scored one in each
the second and third, and two in the
fourth, while the home boys were be-
ing BANKED in their parts of these in
nings. The home boys started the
fire works in the fourth. F. Matkin
singled and stole second, Smith sim
gled and Barnes doubled clearing the
bases. s. Matkin famed and Kirken-
dali was thrown out at first. o. Mat
kin got to first on an error, the same
happened to Order. Sisk hit, scored
both of these and successive hitting
piled up total of s runs in this in
ming. Bismarck added two more in
the fifth on an error and a hit. - The
home team as well as Elvins was
BANKED in the sixth. Bismarck added
another in the seventh on hit by
Order combined with errors. Blay-.
lock pitched part of the eighth inning
and was batted from the box before a
