It happened but fans just couldn't believe
it. Bill Raehse was guilty of an error Sunday against Dickinson
Packers. The smooth working first sacker had a throw from third baseman Fred
Vaughn bounce off his mitt. Ev Johnson, Dickinson
catcher, is shown about to cross first base. Base umpire Stan Papich
is tensed, ready to give a decision on the play. The Oilers beat the
Packers 11-1. (Williston Herald,

Frank Roelandt of Williston is safe
at third after bashing a two-run triple of the right field wall.
Late with the tag is Minot third baseman Duke Bowman. Ed Claussen is the umpire. Roelandt had a big night -- a double,
triple, sac fly good for four RBI. Oilers whipped the Mallards 16-7.

Roy Weatherly, the former major leaguer, collected three hits on
the final day of the regular season to shade Butch Davis, a two-time
batting champion, for the hitting crown, .371 to .369. Weatherly
had 111 hits, including 23 doubles, 4 triples, 21 home runs, and batted
in 61. He established three ManDak records - homers, total bases
and slugging.
