|Pagetext=   Base Ball Game  
On Sunday last another game of base ball was played by the Thief River Falls nine and the Ogahmah nine, consisting of the boarders at the Hotel Ogahmah. The game was called at 2:25 by umpire Hanson. The game proved very interesting to the spectators, and terminated in favor of the Thief River Falls nine, the score being as 3 to 1. The ogahmahs had been contemplating a victory for their nine for several days before the game and had several outside players, such as a representative, from the Red Lake Agency, the Estimators party, and some of their players were from Chicago; but not withstanding all this they were badly beaten. Mr. Hanson well deserves the position as umpire, as all his decisions, were fair and well judged. As is usual, of course, in ball games considerable "kicking" was done on both sides, but Mr. Hanson was firm in all his decisions. The Thief River Falls Nine: Fred Zeh, catcher; Fred Reddell, pitcher; Al Berry, shortstop; Allen Benzie, first base; Carl Hanson, second base; Will Benzie, third base; Martin Sorum, right field; Olaf Arneson, center field; Dennis LaSarge, left field. The Ogahmah nine: Emit Zeh, catcher; E.E. Serrine, pitcher; P. Fuller, shortstop; P. Morrissette, first base; W.S. Lee, second base; Philip Zeh, third base; Mr. Graham, right field; Mr. Boudry, center field; Chas. Schuster, left field. It is no fault of ours if we have made a mistake in the Ogamahah nine, as they were continually changing their players.
