Inc ElNlnS DdoS Ddtl vi Idbh-
er what was supposed to be the Ell
wins team, came here Sunday after
noon, for the third game Of the three
game series. Each team had one vic
tory to it's credit, and this being the
deciding game of the series, excite
ment was intense. When the Elvins
manager gave his lineup to the score
keeper it showed that there were men
who were former members Of the Ma
tional Allstars, Bonnie Terre player
and the rest, excepting one or two,
were from various parts of the Lead
Belt-in other words, Elvins was
"loaded' for the home boys. Their
umpire handed out some Of the rank
est decisions we have ever seen, and
when the home boys found out that
they were playing the umpire also
they seemed to lose some of their pep.
We agree with the lockwood CORE
spondent for The Times that all UNI
pires make mistakes, and that unnec-
essary bullyragging an umpire is use
less, but this umpire made some de-
cisions that looked as they might be
avoided. Levoir, the former National
hurler, was on the mound for the Wis
itors, and had we not been given gilt
edge support, he would have been bat
ted out of the box before the game
was half over, as the home boys be-
gan to hit his offerings right off the
reel. Bismarck scored the first run
in the second inning on hit batter,
an over throw and sacrifice. Elvins
scored two in the fifth on an error and
a hit The home boys scored one in
the sixth and seventh, and in the
eighth inning the home boys went to
pieces and Elvins scored eight runs.
On Monday afternoon the home
team journeyed to Ironton and took
on the powerful Arcadia Valley team,
and after playing that team for eight
innings the home team left the field
with the Valley in the lead by the
score of four to three. The umpire
interfering with the ball that allowed
runner to score caused the trouble.
We think this is wonderful record
for the home boys, as Arcadia has de-
feated some of the strongest teams in
the community.
School opened Monday morning
with a large enrolment There were
80 enrolled in the high school and
eighth grade. We are still short two
