PLENTYWOOD SLUG
GERS WIN TWO MORE

The past week witnessed two more
victories for the Plentywood All Star
team under the management of Cap
tain Hidden, when the local team met
Lee Dillage's Cuban team at the Her.
aid ball park in this city last Saturday
and the Williston team the following
day at Williston.
The game with the Dillage Cuban
leather PETERS was a good one, and
while the game was never in doubt
as TO the outcome, some fast work
was done by members of both teams.
Happy" Felsch who had been to
the home plate three times and had
not yet got a hit took a long healthy
swing at the horsehide in the sixth
and the Cuban center fielder's tongue
was hanging almost down to his shoe
strings when he recovered the ball
long after Happy" had crossed the
plate for home run.
The Cnbans played exceptionally
good ball and will defeat the ordinary
run of small town teams, but thew
were surprised at the wonderful team
they met in eastern Montana and
congratulated the management ON
having. such splendid team so far
away from the big sticks.
Canton pitched for the local team
and hurled a steady game throughout
allowing Dlllage's men only two rms
these being gathered in the fifth after
batting rally staged early in the
inning. WY
The following day, the Plentvwood
team went to Williston, where thew
gave the natives of that CITY a chance
TO see real ball team in action.
After batting the ball all over the
WiiIiston diamond and causing the
Williston players to weep tears of
modification as they popped flies into
the air so high that they were barely
dlscernible to the eye and when the
leather pellet came down the force
was so terrific the Williston fielders
dropped the ball like it was q hot
poker, the local players had to mif
for lack of ozone. The game finaIIr
ended 10 to A. Anyway the fans OF
winston got an opportunity to see a
real baseball aggregation in action
and though their home team was moi
able to i've much opposition, thew got
"a big kick out of seeing the famous
players do their stuff.
1t is said that the citizens of Willis.
ton glory in the fact that thew have
such public spirited and prominent
city near them and broadcast the fact
that Plentywood is a real CITY wber
1t comes to doing things up brown.
