race draws applause but it is the

as the start that draws the deep
admiration of the spectators.

There was a nice crowd out. Mi
not plays in the Northwest Fair
Grounds, has a good infield ana a
fine grandstand. The fans showed
themselves to be sports, too. Even
though Boardman was booed by
fans trying to get his goat, the
fans frequently applauded him
when he did exceptionally good
work.
When Dugan took Coleman's
foul directly back of him some Mi
not fan yelled out: "Hey, Dugan,
come over and play on our team:
Dick Noll, released by Bismarck,
appeared in Minot uniform,
catching the game. Worner played
right field.
Both Nord and Condor got hands
for some fine work in the infield,
and Felix Fly on first stabbed one
of Condon's throws with his meat
hand, and won round.
* II X 4
Hester shifted his lineup be-
cause Spranger was out OF the
game. Gunther, who has been
playing second, was on short, and
Jimmy Hennessey, Minot boy, was
on first base.
Tom Stanley hasn't been hitting
as he should and he put himself
down farther in the batting order
He had his hitting eye with him
in the second game, however.
