/M VOL. XLVI—NO. 30. 5- Ifl-LINERSTM/rWO FROMJAT^TOWN The rejuvenated Hi-Liners made themselves solid with the fans of the city and earned a lot of forgiveness for themselves by taking two straight games from the Jimkotans on Mon day and yesterday. The team is act ing a lot different in the field under the management of Louis Bachant and surprised the visitors in the ser ies. They are playing baseball for the first time this season and are fighting their way thru all the time. In Monday's game Jamestown nev er had a chance. Enger was on the mouijd for the locals and pitched ex cellent ball. Contrary to previous performances the visitors were not spotted three runs in the first but were set down in one, two, three or der. The Hi-Liners took three in the first, two of them being earned runs, the other being the only unearned run of the game. In the second frame the H'i-Liners batted clear around and ran up a total of five runs. Hart connected for a homerun in the sevy enth, parking the ball some place down on Fifth avenue. Gilbert was one of the hitting stars for the game in the number of safe blows, getting four singles in five times up. Menne starred in the hitting with two sin gles, a double and a triple for four times up. Several errors were charg ed during the game, there being con siderable loose playing, but none of them, costly. In yesterday's game the visitors "were lucky to get a run. Keegan, first man up for the Jimkotans, click ed out a homerun that should have been an out. Whiting, in left field, misjudged the ball and ran in on it, the ball going over his head. He could still have held Keegan to three bags if he had shown signs of life but he trotted after the ball and by the time he got it back to the infield Keegan had chalked up the first coun ter for the visitors. Brindza was on the mound for the locals and made himself solid with the fans.- He is a real pitcher and seemed able to send the visitors to the bench whenever he wanted to, the first five innings only letting sixteen men face him. The game was tight until the sixth with the visitors leading at 1 to 0 when Brindaa hooked up for a single. Lane struck out and Dean flyed out to cen ter. Gilbert drew a pass and Hart came up with two men on and two down. He took a healthy swing at the ball and landed on third, scoring Brindza and Gilbert. Wenz followed with a double and scored Hart, mak ing three runs for the Hi-Liners and putting the game on ice. Wenz was caught at third and the side retired. By previous arrangement the game was called at 3r00 o'clock to enable the players to get to Jamestown for the evening gaime.

During the pro gram in the auditorium the auditori um was crowded and the grounds were filled with people. That this immense crowd was handled without the reporting of a single accident for the day speaks well for the efficiency of the police department. The mem bers of the force are to be commend ed for their handling of the crowd and the courtesy exhibited at all times The day's program opened with the band concert on the street at about 10:00 o'clock by the Valley City Mu nicipal Band. That we have a real band in the city admitted by every one but it takes expression of apprec iation by an outsider to bring them to our notice some times. Mr. Ward of the Ward, Waters Co. stated that it was one of the best bands he had heard in a city of anywhere near this size and added £hat their performance and willingness to play at all times and the real high class band music which they rendered, showed them to be an exceptionally good organization. The program of' sports was started promptly at 1:00 o'clock. These sports were the usual foot races and freaks races which add to the general hilarity of the occasion. All events were filled, not less than five persons entering for any event. D. S. Ritchie acted as starter for these events and L. E. Hedstruip, Archie DeLancy and Mr. Nybeck acted as judges. The afternoon program consisted of several musical numbers by the Ward Waters Company and an address By Preston Bradley, of the Peoples Church of Chicago, 111. His address was a very good one and was thoroly enjoyed by everyone. At 5:00 o'clock the water sports were started consist ing of canoe races, high diving, dis tance diving and men and women swimming races. These events were all filled and were decidedly interest ing to the spectators. The boy's tub race was not held, as the tubs persist ed in sinking. .r The Ward Waters Co., entertained the crowd in the evening. This com pany is very good but hardly had enough volume for such a large crowd Yesterday's program concluded the 1922 session of chautauqua. The management states that the talent se cured was very good and received less unfavorable criticism than had been accorded chautauqua talent for sev eral years. I. V. A.

LOCALS DROP THREE GAMES TO WATERT'N The Hi-Liners dropped all three games, the one Saturday afternoon and the double header yesterday, to the Watertown Cubs. The first two games the Cubs took easily but the final game yesterday afternoon the Cubs can feel thankful for. In Saturday's game Bell took the mound for the locals and was clouted heavy until the sixth when he was re lieved by Ross. Ross didn't hold the visitors any better and they had things pretty much their own way for the afternoon. In the fifth frame Mo kate, Cubs manager, argued a first base decision and as a consequence was relieved of $20.00 and chased out of the park. Higgins took his place in left field. Standaert was the bat ting star in this game, getting two singles, a double and a triple in five trips to the plate. The first game yesterday afternoon was a sore disappointment for the fans. Michaelson started the game but was wild ad ineffective, the visit ors getting seven passes off his de livery and fattening their averages to the extent of ten hits, but only one of them for an extra base. He was re lieved in the fifth by Delman who held the Cubs down in fine style. Af ter Delman got on the rubber the scoring ended for the visitors and the locals put three men over the pan but were unable to overcome the lead Mi chaelson had presented them with. Brindza went in for the final game yesterday and pitched mighty good ball, striking out seven men in the six innings. The Hi-Liners led the way for the first five innings and at the start of the sixth had the visitors at 3 to 0. In the sixth two doubles, two singles and two errors allowed 4 runs for theCubs. The Hi-Liners went to bat but were unable to score and the game was called with the score at 4 to 3 at the end of the inning, the state law requiring baseball to stop at 6:00 o'clock on Sunday. Bachant worked behind the bat for the first time and Whiting, former manager for the Fargo Athletics, held down the left garden yesterday.

Enger was on the mound for the locals and pitched good ball after he got mad in the second. He was a little wild in the first and the Cubs collected the customary three runs in that frame when Trimmer drew a pass and Knybel tripled. Stan daert drew the second pass for the frame, Conway sacrificed and Purpu ra and'Makate both singled, putting Knybel and Standaert over. The Hi Liners didn't get going in the first but tallied one in the second with theii only unearned run of the game. A pass to Wenz, an error by Standaert and a single by Carlson put the run across the pan. The gang got going in the third when Lane drew free transportation and Dean got life on a fielders choice Gilbert singled and Hart died on a short bunt. Lane died at home. Wenz clicked out a double and put Dean and Gilbert over and Menne followed with a triple, scoring Wenz. In the sixth the Hi-Liners batted around. II look ed as though the fire department would have to be called but Mokate sent Anderson to the rubber and he stopped the fun. Carlson, first man up, singled and Enger whiffed. Lane singled, Dean and Gilbert both dou bled and Hart, Wenz and Heme each singled. During that frame Menre broke the record by swiping second. The inning netted five inns. In Hi' seventh Enger sinp !ei'. Lane was hit by a pitched ball an. 1 Dean and Gil bert each singled, puti'mir Enger in the score column. That frame netted two to the visitors thru two singles and a double. The boys certainly fattened their batting averages yesterday, erei'yone clicking the ball at least once. The fielding was featured by three double plays by the visitors. Lane made a few snappy throws to Menno and Dean got a one handed speai* in short center that he had no business going after. Engev whiffed six men, made one wild pitch and issued three pars es.

He stayed in for the second frame but the visitors got to him for another pass and three hits, one being a dou ble, and Bell was sent in in the third. At the end of that frame Menne de cided that the game was hopelessly lost. and sent Bell to the showers while he did the twirling for the bal ance of the game—and as a pitcher he is some first baseman.
