On Sunday the 17th the town ball team journeyed over and engaged the crack
Insulite tea of International Falls, in the first game of the season. This
game was in the nature of practice for and the final result is no indicator
of the play.
The Fort has at least assembled a well balanced team, who extended the very
much improved Falls aggregation to the limit to gain the long end of a 7
- 3 score. The boys deserved great credit for playing a stellar game against
the semi-pro Battery who had but little on Carpentier and Torseth this year.
Carpentier in the box gave a real account of himself and had the Babe Ruth's
of the insulties fanning the breeze. Moran on first is a great improvement
to the team and played a stellar game. Rusty Green was all over the lot
as usual. George Johnson excelled himself in the field and will give a good
account of himself this season. Si Morris gave us a real ball with his usual
bursts of speed. The boards were the only thing that kept McGregor from
spearing them all. Pat L'Heureux on third base played a nice game and Morris
Godin at short gave the fans as many thrills as he did on the ice last winter.
Art Torseth on the receiving end worked to perfection with Carpentier. Sunday
proved we had a goods this year and with the whole hearted support of the
fans, these boys are going to make it an interesting season.
Now fans lets turn out and make this a booster year for our ball team. The
material is here, all it needs is your support. Let's go ahead in baseball
this year as we did in hockey last winter. Boost our ball team and boost
our town. June 3 is booster day, get ready.
