Running Team, Dissatisfied With Exe- cutive Committe Blackduck---Tournament Concluded Today---Blackduck Won Ball Game--- Small Crowd in Meeting quay. Complaining that they had not| received fair treatment at the hands of the executive committee of the Northern Minnesota Fire- men’s Tournament association at the tournament now being held in Blackduck, the members of the Bemidji running team re- turned home last night dissatis- fied because they had been de- clared out of a race in which they made better time by one second than any other team that com- peted. Together with the team, nearly all the Bemidji residents that attended the tournament yesterday, came home, and the crowd now left at Blackduck is much smaller than had been anticipated. Yesterday was Be- midji day at the tournament, and as a consequence about 508 people went to Blackduck on the special train yesterday morning. No races had been pulled off and ail the events of the tournament were yet to be run. The day proyed a vertiable “Bemidji Day”’ as in nearly every event that was pulled off Bemidji took first money, winning the banner as- sociation hose race, the coupling contest and the ladder climbing contest. In the association hook and ladder race, which was put on last night, Bemidji apparently took first money, buta contention on the part of the judges resulted in the decision that the ladder used at the race had not been placed at the proper angle and B Ny IR NN £ | PRN P The members of the team felt that they had not been used fair- ly by the executive committee, and, while they did not harbor any ill feeling toward the mem- bers of the Blackduck depart- ment or the members of any the other teams that were pre- sent, they thought that the de- cision of the executive committee was unfair and decided to return to Bemidji before taking part in any of the other events that were to be pulled off today. Hallock, Red Lake Falls and ‘Warren, who were tied for sec- ond place in the association hose race, ran off the tielast night, Hallock made the run in 23 2 5. Red Lake Falls failed to make the run owing to some hitch in getting started, and the result was that Hallock received second money and Warren third, the latter having made the run in 25 seconds when the three teams tied. Bemidji won the combination hook and ladder contest, making time of one second better than any other team that competed, but owing toa decision of the judges as to the position of the ladder at the time it was climhed by Fleming, the Bemidji ladder) climber, che race was lost to Hal- lock. The time of the several teams was as follows: Black- duck, 28; Hallock, 27 2-5; Red Lake Falls, 27 3-5; Warren, 812 5. Bemidji, 26 25. Immediately after the contest Mayor Rom.!| denne of Blackduck, who was one of the judges, called the at- tention of the Bemidji team to e’s Decision, Leaves Attendance at The the fact that the ladder was not placed in proper position when the race was run, the ladder being over 15 degrees from per- pendicular. It is one of the rules ot the association that in the hook and ladder contest the lad- der shall be placed within 15 de- grees of perpendicular, and con- sequently if Mayor Romdenne’s contention was true Bemidji would I)se the race. A meeting of the execulive committee was held to decide the ¢uestion of whether or not the ladder was placed in proper position and the meeting resulted in taking Be- midji entirely out of the race. Fred Rhoda of Bemidji was one of the jndges, but he stated at vhe executive meeting that he was not situated so as to judge the position of the ladder when the race was run. Bemidji won first money in the relay race, which, although a new featureoffiremen’s tournaments, now considered one of the princi- pal events. Six men of each team run 600 yards, each man running his sixth part of the dis- tance. The first man starts from one end of the track with a flag, which he carries to the 100-yard line, where another man takes the flag and carries it back, and this is kept up until each man has run the required distance. The time made last night was as follows: Warren, 78 1-2; Be- midji, 68 4 5; Red Lake Falls, 71; Rlanlrdnale 29 4 K. Wallaale 79 The base ball game played yes- { terday afternoon between Black- duck and Bemidji resulted in a victory for the former aggrega- tion by a score of 4 to 2. The game was the prettiest exhibition of the national sport seen in this section of Minnesota during the present season, and much inter- est was manifested. Up to the seventh inning the Blackduck team failed to make but one score, while the Bemidji bunch sent two men over the home plate, In the seventh, however, a costly error on the part of a Bemidji man allowed Blackduck to get three runs, making the score 4 to 2, and in the succeed- ing two innings neither team scored. LeGore was in the box for the locals and pitched his customary good game. The Blackduck team was strengthen- ed for the event by the addition of several players from Hibbing, which is accountable for the de- feat of the Bemidji team. The tournament will end today and the teams now in attendance at the meeting will arrive in the city this evening enroute home. Today’s Races.

The big hill east of the mill has been )argely leveled and the limits of the small lake within the grounds have been narrowed by filling in, thus affording more ground for yard room and at the same time improving the appearance of the lake. A fence has also been placed around the office building and the yard inside has been con- verted into a handsome lawn which will be particularly re- freshing and restful when the hot days come.

THO’T THE RINGS MADI OF RUBBOR Novel Experience of an 0Id Country Couple at Goll- mar anos.’ Circus. When Gollmar Bros.” shows were exhibiting through the eastern states 'ast summer the following was actually heard in the big tent: A typical looking old New England couple, who, after seecing the wonders in the menagerie tent, wandered into the big main circus tent. As soon as the old man caught sight of the curbed or wooden rings he exclaimed, “Well I’ll be durned if them ere circus rings hain’t made uv rubber!” ¢“They hain’t nuther, replied the old lady in an instant, them’s jist the. same kinds uv rings as alus unly they’ve got wooden fences 'round ’em” Just about that time the old man disc_nvered that they were standing on the hippodrome track, nudged the old lady and said, “come on Mandy let’s get a seat, dunt yer see we’re a standin’ on the race course.” “Ther yew go agin, alus a callin’ things by their wrong names; an’ ther right behind yer stans Jael and Hannah Parkins and if they heard what yer sed they’d goan’ tattle it all ’round th’ neighbor- hood” replied the old lady. “Thet’s what they call it at the county fair” said the old man. “Silas Jason,” replied the old lady, *‘yere hain’t ‘er th’ county fair now, yere at Gollmar Bros.’ circus an’ dun’t ferget to remem- ber that this ere rudway is what the showmen call the hippopota- mus ‘track.” ~ The old couple realized that a big organization like Gollmar Bros. would not be complete without the hippodrome races.
