VISITORS WERE EASY Baseball Team From T. B. Walker Town Drubbed : By Bemidji. WITT-PITCHES-GAME WITHOUT ALLOWING HIT. Infield Errors Give Visitors One Score But It Should Have Been a Shut-Out. The Red River Lumber com- % _pd.‘nyqsbn e ball teamn from T. B. “ Walker’s town- of Akeley were defeated by the Bemidji team yesterday in a fairly interesting game by the very-decisive score of 12 to 1. > On the rigidly-defined statute of the base ball guide there is no rule under which the visitors should have been allowed the one run they secured. Witt, for the home team, pitched a star game, The vmtors did not secure a hit from his delivery and-after the first inning did not pass firstbast. He struck out twelve men and has ‘three safe hits to his credif, a three-bagger, a two-baggor and a single.. His work was very heady, and his pitching was the feature of the game. The Akeley team came conmd- embly strengthened. In the first inning two men received a life on errors and a man hit by a pitched ball filled the bases. Ohman, at short, erred on an easy‘ground hit and one man crossed thelplate. The next three men up went out in one: two- three-order and never after that time were the visitors in any danger of breaking into the score column, The pitching talent of the Ake- ley team was acceptable, but its support was decidedly ragged. The locals crossed the plate twice in the first inning, a hit and a number of errors netted them four runs in the second; hits were bunched in the fifth for four more runs and two came in in the eighth. Stewar t,Neeland Witt,Benthien . and Ludww hit the ball in good shape but t,he batting of '.he rest of the team was not as strong yesterday as: ordinarily. Taken all in all the game was quite ac- ceptable, but faster teams than the Aldeley bunch will be appre- ciated, The home team is much, stronger now than at any time and if it will ginger-with the stick| it is sufficiently strong to meet ~ all'present requirements. g BIG EXCURSION Elks Excursion to Bemidji Next Sunday Will Be a Hummer. Steve-Withy, of Crookston, was a visitor in the city Saturday night for the purpose of making tinal arrangements for the Elk’s excursionfrom Crookston, Sun- day, June 26.

Arraneg- ments are completed for a game of baseball between the Crooks- ton and Fargo teams, the Elks will have 4 special program of their own and there will be some- thing doing from the minute the . antlered host strikes town until the last tired reveler’s handker- chief fiutters a faint farewell when the trains leave at night. It isexpected that three thousand “visitors will come with the Elks. DUNN THE MAN Fred Giese, Hubbard County Edi- tor, Says Robert Will Carry His County.
