Choteau Beats Valier In Tough Lake Francis Fair Game
Valier’s visitors from across Lake Francis came for sport and receipts but were outplayed in all phases by Choteau. Carson and DeMars pitched for the locals and kept Valier to limited scoring as Choteau amassed nine runs by mid game, with strong fielding and timely hits. Umpire J. W. Wilkes ruled fairly though some calls went Valier’s way, sparking no sustained protest.
