kota League which came to Bis
marck at the opening of the season
and outclassed the locals didn't look
so bad to the Bismarck team yestcr-
day. The Capitals took the first
game handily, knocking out of the
box Walters, who pitched great ball
against Bismarck at Minot two
weeks ago, but lost the second game.
The locals win was by an to 3
score and the loss by an 8 to 5
score.
Indian Joe Day was in fine form
in the first game for Bismarck
which, by the way, was before a
good crowd in spite of the counter
attractions Of the holiday. Minot's
/ scores in the first and third inn
ings were made without hits and
but one run was made with the aid
Of base hit. The Magicians got
but hits off Joe, and he eased off
; toward the finish.
Bismarck pclted Walters hard,
with Newt Randall and Tom Stanley
leading the way, and he finally gave
way to Hester in the sixth after
Bismarck had the game tucked
away.
"Buck" Taylor was back in Bis
marck uniform in the second game.
He received miserable support at
the start and Minot hit him rather
freely. Taylor, however, has been
pitching in fast company and he
ought to round into form and be "a
ginning pitcher. =
Fast work by Gunthcr gave Minot
run in the first inning of the
first game. He was walked by Day.
Coleman sacrificed and Gunther went
from first to third, Condor failing
to cover the bag. Mcknight laid
down bunt to Condor and Bis
marck's runs came through hitting
the ball. Newt Randall, first man
up singled nicely. Dougan went
out, second to first. Stanley went
out short to first. AL Bernicr drop
ped double in left-field and Ran
dali scored. In the third Randall
again led off and singled, and Dou7
gan sacrificed him. Tom Stanley
poled Il double and Newt again came
home. In the fifth Bismarck began
a bombardment. Joe Day went out,
but Randall hit safely for the third
time. Dougan smashed terrific
line drive to left but it fell in Lie
fer's hands. Stanley singled. Bern
Ter was passed Intentionally to get
Felix Fly, the big Indian first base
man. Felix fooled 'em, however, and
smashed long hit to left center on
which Coleman almost made a catch
which would have been nothing
short Of miraculous" All three
runners scampered home while Felix
remained on first. Fart was hit by
pitcher and Nord hit safely, filling
the bags. Condor was walked, Fly
being forced in. Joe Day, up for
the second time in the inning, went
out on line drive to second.
President Logan Powell of the
North Dakota State League was
guest at the holiday bill here, hav-
ing been west of the city and re-
turning for the games.
Don't blame Felix Fly for making
only one base on a three-base hit
Felix hurt his leg just above the
ankle at Jamestown. 1t is swollen
up badly and he has hard time
moving.
In knocking Elmer Liefer out of
the box in the second game, the To-
Gals got revenge. For it was Liefcr
who pitched the first victory AGAINST
Bismarck here at the opening Of the
season.
Don Dougan was hitting in tough
luck yesterday, and has been for
several days. He socks 'em on the
nose but they :, land in someone's
hands.
Hester's bunch feels pretty good.
Leaving New Rockford after a SER
les they went to Estevan, Canada,
to play in tournament at fair
