HIBBING BEATS CLOQUET: UNDISPUTEDLY “CHAMPS” Range City Ball Team Takes Two Games From Rival City Players. The Hibbing baseball team has cinched its claim to the cham- ponship of northern Minnesota, having defeated the Clequet team at Hibbing, two games, the first by a score of 14 to 2, and the other guing to the range team, 2 t0 0. In the second game the Claquet players, true to their kicking proclivities, left the field, when they saw they had no chance to win. They threatened to do the same thing here, but were prevailed upon to finish the game, Bemidji can rightfully claim the second place, having defeated every team of note in this part of the state, and was the only northern Minnesota team that defeated Hibbing this year.
