The locals’ win was by an 8 to 3 core and the loss by an B to 5 core, 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- tractions of the holiday. Minot’s cores in the first and third inn- ings were made without hits and but one run was made with the aid of a base hit. The Magicians got but 7 hits off Joe, and he eased off toward the finish.

Shanley singled, Bern- ier was passed intentionally to get t | Kelix Fly, the big Indian first base- mai. Felix fooled ’em, however, and smashed a long hit to left center on which Coleman almost made a catch which would have been short of “miraculous.” All three runners scampered home while Felix remained on first. Zart was hit by pitcher and Nord hit safely, filling the bags. Condon was walked, Fly being forced in. Joe Day, up for the second time in the inning, went out on a line drive to second. President Logan Powell of the North Dakota State League was a lest at the holiday bill here, h: img 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. It is swollen up badly and he has a hard time moving.

Dempsey outsluggeq and land- ed the hardest punches, always try- ing deapsrete'y, to whip over a knock- out puach.

July 5.—Jimmy Dougherty of Philadelphia, referee of the championship battle, de- clared tonight that he saw no foul blows struck by either Dempsey or the challenger. Dougherty said “It was a tough assignment for the third man in the'ring. Work- ing out there in the sun trying to separate ~the men through 15 ‘rounds was action enough for any- one single day, But it was a great heut.” I.don’t hink anyone will question that. Nor-do I think any- body will question the decision: There was no other decision pos- sible. Dempsey was the aggressor all the way and accomplished the most damaging work, earning’ majority of the rounds. There were cries that the rules were not| observed, but those who yelled at supposed violations did not know the rules which say that the men i 4 a5 “Lefty” Keegan, star pitcher of thé “Twins” and Kinney, left-hander, formerly with Minot, were badly in- jured in an automobile accident n New Rockford the other ni cording to information here. an, it is said, will never pl ball in and Kinney can’t pl season, Manager Tom Shanley suspended harley Boardman, pitcher, for 10 with the statement that the sus. pension woul be lifted if B an reported to the New Rockfo rington team.
