The game proved one-sided although it was a good contest to witness. The Bemidji team had Norris of Staples to pitch, and as he had pitched two games against Hibbing before during the past ten days (making the range champions go ten innings to defeat him Saturday and on Monday beating them) “Brady’s colt’s had “blud” in their eyes and they determined to go after Norris. They did so, with a vengeance. They clouted him for eleven hits, Carroll getting a home run, Calligan and Booth each a single, the remain- ing eight bingles being singles. Of { two-bagger) being bunched in the| the eleven hits secured off Norris four, (a home run, two singles and a fourth inning. Again in the fifth inning three singles and a two-bagger | were bunched, which were enough to | win the game, Hibbing earning four of the six scores. 3 The players on the Bemidji team played a fairly good game, Roy, behind the bat, especially doing good work. i Gilligan pitched for Hibbing, and he twirled a very consistent game. He used his head, mixed up the slow ones with his speedy balls, and kept the locals from bunching on him at any time. He allowed but five hits, struck out four and was good at all times. Carroll behind the bat caught a beautiful game and every member on the Hibbing team was “on his toast” every second of the game. Fagan, the Hibbing left fielder caught at last five hits that were tagged for safe ones, but by great .runs and fine catches they were outs. The following is an account of the| Bush Was Slightly Rattled. game in detail by innings: Monyhan went out pitcher to first; | Wibbens threw Geisleman out at first.
