NO_JOY IN BEMIDJI® FANDOM SINCE YESTERDAY. Humiliating Defeat Sustained By Home Team .in Glorious Swatfest Exhibition. The Crookston league team local nggregatlon of pigskin triflers in a glorious yet heart- rending swai-fest exhibition “of the great American game of base ball, by a score of 19 to 0, and but for the fact that Manager McNeil’s aggregation are a pul\te and venblemdnly lot of young men it might of been worse—it might have been forty. The game is a distinct revela- tion and there is one plain, un- varnished truth that"stands oug in bold relief since yesterday and that is that the loaals are not fast enough for northern league com- pauy—]uqt. yet. However in all justice to the nine young men rom this city who were in yes- terday’s game and Manager Kayne as well there isno occa- sion for an anvil chorus at-once, the result might have been ex- pected. Witt was in the box for the home team. He had an off day and in the five innings he was up he was touched up for ten sate hits, a number of which were stretched into two and three baggers by slow fielding and throwing of the glass arm variety. The local bun«,h which has never developed- the snenvbh with the stick: that is necessary for win- ning ball, failed to hit Mr. Miller and scculed only three hits. The visitors were omnipresent and ate up everything with the most deplorable persistency. The base running of the locals was in sad contrast_to the efforts of the visitors, and only twice during the game did they see the third saclk. All hope was lost in-the first. inning when the visitors bunched their-hits for five runs and coppered the game beyond farther doubt. After that it was plain to be seen that the local bunch had lost its ginger and the bleachers and grand stand awaited the final re- sult in grim silence that was a decided contrast to a very noisy opening. Martin, of Crookston, unpired the game.” It was gen- ly agreed that he was re- ingly rotten especially on balls and stnkei, but there is no partictlar occasion to kick as he was quite as desperate and un- manageable on one side as the other. In the first inning he struck Kinn out on a very unfai e with McCamus ase, two gone and two foul He was freely advised tolow i but manfully resiste strenuous-effortsto The ofl 1 scorakeeper aband- oned his situation after the third inning and no one attempted to keep anything like an account of the game, which was full of errors-on the part-of th home team and far from being interesting. __Since the game yesterdiy a Wall dovglo})ed anyil dlmuz has been started. [t must be re- membered that —the Northern league is fifty per cent faster this year than last year and de- spite the fact that Crookston is at present at the foot of the per- ceatage colnmn, it is conceded one of the fastest teams in the league and those who are in the best position o speak authori- tively say that the pennant race will be between Crookston and Duluth. Furthermore theis-no oceas- sion to criticise the management. The pafronage at the grounds has not been what it should have been. Yesterday’s game aroused more interest than any so far so and the attendance than 450. Week day is impossible and the team, suchasitis, has costnobody a cent up to the present time ex- cept ms admission tothe grounds, with the single exception of some presents of equipment made by local merchants. A fast team costs money, The home team is fair if not particularly fast and a ground admission of twenty-five cents is not such a large sum that au body will be ously injured. Within the present week the team will be strengthened by the addition of three of the famous Indians who played Crookston ye As fast as the patro warrants tronger and faster team it will be secured. and Burton, base with g0 Advertise in the Daily Pioncer It’s a good investment. vute:day afternoon shutout the | BREAK DOWN Crookston Mill Breaks Down— 8t.

Beltrami county will get two state ditcheés instead of oneas originally aeranged. One of the ditches will be located near Kelli- her and thé other will drain Ten Mile Meadow into Lake Bemidji. Br.gineer Ralph made his report to the state drainage board Satur- day and Senator Swedback, to whom all credit is due for se- curing the state ditches, was ad- vised this morning of the board’s decision. The state money to be ex- pended in their -constuuction amounts to $5,000. The original plan was to construct one ditch and the favored location was a short-distance from the village of Kelliher, where a considerable portion of state land will be bene- fitted. After investization Engi neer Ralph found tnat it would not require all the money on hand to build this ditch and Kelliher people who are much interested in securing the ditch will sub- seribe $l,o()0 towards it. This makes two ditches possible. Work will be begun on both in-a very short time. Selling Snakeroot. Frank Potter, the well known Lake George storckeeper, was in the city last night. Mr, Potter came in with a party of Indians, who have been digging snakeroot in that vicinity and had come to town to market it. 2 over one hundred pounds, repre- senting a good deal of labor. It is bnntrmg a good price on the market this summer and thé In- dians are digging it all over the country at present. ~Big Police Court.
