The base ball season opened
Sunday at the Athletic park
with a 1 to 0 victory from the
Pier*, aggregation. As the
score indicates the game was
was last and the fans who ventured out in the chilly wind to
see the contest were well repaid.
Neither team was able to connect safely with the opposing*
pitcher. Wermerskirchen pitched for Pierz and held the locals
io three hits. Dominickpitched
the first five innings for Little
Falls and allowed but one safe
bingle. Harris Gourd, of Randall, was sent in for the last
four innings and allowed but
two hits. Gourd played third
base during the first part of the
game and showed rip well. Wm.
Batters, who has not played for
four seasons, held down the
first base position*Sunday. He
secured one of the three hits
gathered by the Blues and his
only error was on a   bad throw.
Eddie Berg reached second on
an error by Ahles in the first
inning, took third on a passed
ball and scored on an error by
Frank Faust. After that there
was no scoring although Pierz
men reached third base several
times. A number of errors were
made but they were excusable
because of the disagreeable
weather and the fact that
neither team has had much
practice —Transcript.

Comments on the; Game
{By the Journal's   Sporting Editor})
Eleven men fanned out, all in
a string-, is young* Wermer-
skirchen's record in   this game.
Yes. according to the heading
of this article, it was a 1 to 0
game and in favor of the   locals
too—the Piek:. Locals though.
The gentleman that umpired
this game is no doubt No. 1 in
his line the "movies." Put as
an umpire—well he could hardly
be classed as a howling success,
but rather tiie reverse a dismal failure.
Notwithstanding-the fact that
the Little Falls papers stated
that Pierz had a portion of a
hired team, such is not the case,

Real Roads Wanted.
Aurora News: Real roads to
benefit real farmers is what
Aurora is asking of St. Louis
county. We do not want automobile roads or through, roads
to distant places, but roads
over which the tillers of the soil
may haul farm produce to market. This kind of roads is
something which would add permanent wealth to this county
and assist in the development of
the wilderness.

As was mentioned in last
week's Journal, the game of
ball between the Pierz All Stars
and the Royal Blues, of Little
Falls, played on the hitter's
diamond last Sunday, proved
to be both fast and. interesting.
The score was 1 to 0 iu favor of
Little Falls, at least, so the
score card read. But you may-
stick a pin right 'here, that this
is not honestly the case. The
umpire just simply tied that
game up in a napkin and presented it to the Little halls aggregation on a silver plate, so
to speak. Everyone that was
in attendance claims that Henry
Paul and Herman Van der Haar
were each entitled to a score.
Did they get them? Not as you
know of. They were simply
beat out of them. This being
the case (and we have no cause
to doubt it) the score should
read either 2 to f. or 1 to 0,
(which ever you like) in favor
of Pierz. Next Sunday the
same teams will again cross
bats on the Little Falls diamond.
There is no use ol talking, you
will have to give it to the Pierz
boys, as they are "foemen
worthy of their steel.''
