AKELEY TEAM IS NEXT ON LIST Players Coming Sunday Include Former Members of Bemidiji Aggregation. LIVELY PRACTICING FOR GREAT COUNTY-CITY GAME Officers Bear Many ‘‘Sears M! Battle”” Earned in Getting in Form. The Akeley baseball team will play a game with the locals at the new park tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. The Akeley boys are a fast bunch, and among their number are Bungo, the third baseman who formerly played with Be- midji, Hallet, second baseman for the locals during the early part of the season, Martin, shortstop, who has been seen here before the features of the game was the fine work of Lioyd Carlton at first base. Summers, the local shortstop, has received an offer from the Calumet team of the Northern- Copper Country league, and, if he can get his release from the Duluth White Sox, he may ac- cept the terms offered by Calumet. MANY WOUNDED, BUT | ENTHUSIASM STILL HIGH | There are some oxceedingly strenuous doings at the ball park -these evenings, when the candidates for the “County’’ and the “City” baseball teams are going through their ligament- straining and muscle soring stunts, preparatory to the battle on the diamond next Thursday afternoon. So far none of the candidates have been sent to the hospital, but there have been some minor casualties that are worn with pride as scars of battle.

Akeley has won three games from Walker this season, which places them in the front rank of the ‘“ballists” of this part of the country. Bemidji, last Sunday, demon- strated that the players who are now on the teamn are fast and aggressive and can put up a good article of ball. The team will line up as follows, tomorrow: Holstein ¢, L. LeGore p, Riddell 1b, Hazen 2b, Summers ss, Gil- more 3b, Collins 1f, Otto cf, F. LeGore rf. The game will be called at 3:30 sharp, BEMIDJI BALL PLAYERS PUT IT ALL OVER BAGLEY Summers, Farley LeGore, Hazen and Gilmore, with five members of the local ‘“‘second nine,” went over to Bagley yes- terday aftérnoon and gave the ball team of that place an un- merciful beating, the score being 14 to 4in favor of LeGore, et al. LeGore pitched, and he had the Bagleyites tied hand and foot. Summers caught. For seven innings, Bagley failed to register at the plate, but LeGore tired and four runs were scored in the remaining two innings. The Bemidji aggrega- tion pounded Conners,the Bagley twirler, all over the lot. Conners is an Indian from the White Earth reservation, and before yesterday had a “rep” as a slab artist. He is an aernaut now, and when he came to earth after yesterday’s game, he decided to return to the “timber.” One of ter of Deeds Harris attempted lot; the hall hit his hand, and he is out of commission for a few FOUND WATER A 'LITTLE MOIST Launch Party Goes Down the River and Two Get Good and Wet. An exciting trip was made down the Mississippi yesterday by a party of five men in'the Tuomy-Schneider launch. The boat went as far as the fifth rapids and going down stream every- thing went lovely; the scenery was fine, It was coming back that the fun commenced. The rapidsare full of rocks “and the task of navigating proyed a difficult one. Dr. Tuomy finally was persuaded to leap overboard, after removing his shoes and stockings, and for a mile and a half lifted and guided the craft over and around the stones. The funniest moment of the afternoon was when Ben Schneider fell in the ‘‘drink.” The launch had run outo a rock injured the pro- peller, and the party had pulled it onto shore and doctored it up.

Russell stopped a bad bounder with Lis right ear, but he can still listen to the explanation of clients, and is putting up a game at first base that is the ‘“real thing.” Chief of Police Bailey goes at the game with the same earnest- ness that he pursues a drunk and disorderly lumberjack. “Sherm’ has been there before, over in South Dakota. County Treasurer French is probably the oldest-experienced player on either team. He. was, a few years ago, one of the best players in the southern part of the state. He is a good batter, a sure catcher, and he throws nice.ly “Old Hoss” Conger is the life of the game. He is credited w:ith having taught Anson, cap- tain of the old Chicago White Stockings, the rudiments of the game, when ‘“Anse” was a youngster, some forty years ago. Conger can play any position on the diamond with credit, and he takes the ‘“‘roasts’ with good nature, Mayor Carter is getting over the first soreness of training, and ‘““freezes” to the ball with tena- city. He can also hit some, Captain Helmer is a hitter who icauses the fielders to back up when he comes to the plate. Earl Geil, he of the long, flow- ing hair, is rounding into rare form as a twirler, and he ‘‘goes some’’ when on the bases. Ari Wright and Tom Bailey, Last evening City Attorney 'aboard. [ “Wnatare you fellows afraid of,” exclaimed Mr. Schneider, . “I’ll show you how.”’ He started, tand the next moment was straddle the log and in the water Iup to his hips. After that he joined the doctor as a ‘‘steering committee,”’ and got wet all over, TWENTY ARE TO RIDE THE GOAT A 0. U W. Is to Hold Im- portant Initiatory Program Monday Night.

Pilot: Mr. Hale of Blackduck was in town Satur- {day. Blackduck is going to have an old-time county fair and car- nival during the latter days of August, and wants to set aside Friday, August 30, as Walker day. Thursday is Bemidji day. The Blackduck people are desir- ous of entertaining Walker on ac- count of the good time this vil- lage gave them one day last season when they came down three hundred strong. The matter of having Walker repre- sented in the Blackduck carnival will receive serious consideration and there is no reason why this village should not close up shop and go visiting for a day.

The occasion will be made the more noteworthy by the preseace of Grand Master Workman M. C. Tifft of Long Prairie, and Grand Recorder Charles E. Lar- son of St. Paul. The former will exemplify the degree work, while the latter will exemplify the screen work. The thirty members, in whose honor the reception is organized were secured as a result of a membership-getting contest in- spired by A, A. D. Rahn. Mr. Rahn offered two handsome gold medals for those securing the largest number of joiners, and there has been a spirited rivalry, with most gratifying results.

It has a beneficial mem- bership and is a very successful lodge. The Degree of Honor in Min- nesota has been in existence fourteen years and has nowa membership of over 18,000 mem- bers. This is the largest and strongest ladies’ organization in Minnesota. Itis a national organization, having a superior lodge, and while each state conducts its own business, lodges of the order can be found in nearly every state in the Union. The national order has a total mem- bership of over 90,000. Send Bown Grace. A little Portland miss, whose first name is Grace, had never attended church, being too little and too lively to be trusted there, according to the Kennebec Journal. But at last her mother permitted her t an elder sister, giving her ings beforehand. The rector of the church was a frequent caller at Grace's | home, and her mother feared that on this account she might take liberties. “You miust sit still” she said, “and you must not say one word, but let Mr. Hammond do the talking. Now, remember.” Gracie behaved very well in meet- Ing. As soon as she reached home she reported: “Oh, ‘mamma, 1 did keep still—real still, and when Mr. Hammond ealled me right out in meeting I never stirred to go to him.” “Called you? Why, child, he never called you in meeting.” “Yes, but he did, mamma. He said thaee or four times, ‘Send down Grace,’ but I sat as still as a mouse.” A.0. U. W.of Minnesota. and 8, A, Cutter.

Poetry at $1,875 a Line. The highest price ever paid for po- etry was $1,875 a line, $15,000 for an eight line poem. ' It was not a good poem either. James Smith, one of the authors of “Rejected Addresses,” wrote it. Smith met one night at dinver in London Strachan, the famous English printer. Strachan, what with old age and gout, was most infirm. Indeed, he could hardly walk. But his mind was exceedingly power- ful and brilliant, and he talked so wrote the following doggerel about the old man: Your lower limbs seemed far from stout When last I saw you walk; The cause I presently found out When you began to talk.
