« e | | THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE VOLUME 5. NUMBER 60 BEMIDII BALL TEAM BEATS DEER RIVER Game Yesterday Was One of the Closest Ever Played in Bemidiji. SCORE WAS 4 TO 2, IN FAVOR OF BEMIDJI—DID GOOD WORK Otto Pitched Good Ball, and Young Eakle Did Clever Work Behind Bat. [n a closely played and exciting game that drew a large crowd to the ground the Bemidji Deer River, bya score of 4+ to 2, Bemidji getting her the first inning, which the locals were blanked down-town baseball yesterday afternoon, team defeated four scores in atter for eight straight “rounds.” The two teams lined up as fol- lows: Bemidji—FEakle ¢, Otto p, Riddell Ib, Govro 2b, Hazen 3b, Graham ss, Carlton, rf, Andrews, cf, Collins If. Deer River—Schwab ¢, Wakanaba p, Stafford Ib, Blasing 2b,McKibbon | 3b, Metk: cf, Van , Reithner rf, Laville t1f [t was not known until a few minutes before time for calling the game who would be the battery for Bemidji. However, Manager Otto the line with young Fakle behind the bat; and, although Eakle is rather lizht for a packstop,the ¢ombination worked nicely. Otto had lots of speed and excellent control, while Fakle held onto everything with determination that marks him the making of a gilt-edged catcher. Oite plichTid an excellent game. For the first eight innings, he held Deer River to five hits, no two com- ing in any one inning. In the ninth, with the game standing 4 to 1 in favor of Bemidji, he let up, and the opposition batters piled up three hits in succession, getting another run. Ottostruck out eleven batters, hit one and did not pass any. decided to go out into firing as’ also hit for eight safeties, three of which came in the first inning, which, with a base on balls, gave the locals their four runs. After that inning, five more hits were made off the Indian, but fine fielding behind him shut off scores, Deer River pulling off two fast double plays when runners were on bases and runs seemed inevitable. Waka- naba struck out five. Riddell and Graham, for Bemidji, each got two hits, one of “Reddy’s” being for two sacks, while Andrews, Collins, Govr » and Carlton each se- cured a safety. Hazen made a circus catch in the second inning, pulling down a high- hit liner that was labeled for two sacks, and preventing one or more runs. Otto, Grovo and Riddell made a fast double play in the fifth inning, which shut off runs. In the ninth inning, Laville laced one to the center field, and while Andrews was mixed up in the grass hunting for the ball Laville ran around the diamond, but as he failed to touch first bace, he kept on going to first again and beat the ball there on the retury, only getting a single out of what would have been a home run had he touched first base. The game yesterday was much better than of the previous Sunday and shows that Bemidji still has a good team. Eye Injured. Peter Becker, who lives at Warner, on the Red Lake road, accidentally injured one of his eyes yesterday, the injury being so severe that he came near losing the sight of the orb. Mr. Becker was mending a “stop .thief” rat trap when the accident occurred. He laid the trap on an anvil and hit it with a hammer. A piece of the steel flew directly into his right eye, making a very painful injury. Mr. Becker came tuv Bemldji where he obtained medical service, and it is announced that the sight will be preserved. H. O. Bjoring of Wilton was a business visitor in the city this afternoon. ¥ Additional local matter will be found Wakanaba, for Deer River, was, on fourth page.

The veiled women of Persia are one of the most curious features of even a hand or an eye. They are shrouded from head to the knees in a cotton or silk sheet of dark blue or black, which passes over the head and is held with the concealed hands around and about the body. The legs are hidden in loose trousers. Out-of-doors even the husband would not recognize his wife. She gropes through city streets and about.the show ground:--in complete disguise.. She is a moving mystery. She *may “be‘young or old; black or white, fair or ugly, no American knows, as she shuffles along in shoes which are difficult to keep upon her feet, as the upper leather ends far below the heel. What goes on inside her tent, no one on the outside knows, either. She raises the flap,\ enters, closes it and no foreign .eye can penetrate the secret of her domestic life, 3 The Persian men are handsome' and picturesque in their’costumes of blue or white cotton, with here and there one in red or yellow. There are no old men, for those whose beards are naturally white have been transformed into unnatural youth by dying the hair bright red with | khenna. The hands.and feet are often colored with the same prepara- tion. The ' operation is watched with great interest by the Indians ¢f the show, who assume the foreigners are daubing themselves with the war paint of their country.

BRICK AT END OF BOILER IS ] TORN AWAY; ENGINEER ESCAPES Plant Is Not Badly Bamaged and Boiler Will Be Repaired at Once. Tenstrike, July 1.—(Special to Pioneer.)—One of the flues in the boiler which operates the Joseph Carter sawmill was blown out, late last Saturday, nearly wrecking the mill, but fortunately injuring no one, When the flue blew out, the mill was being run to its fullest capacity: and there was ninety-five pounds of steam on. The explosion..incident to the blowing out of the flue tore away the entire brick wall at the end of the boiler and soon filled the engine room with steam and. hot water. The mill is being operated by Messrs. Reynolds and Leipold, who the Pawnee Bill Show, which will be,D3v¢ been in charge for about three here on July 13th. No American’f"%k: has ever seen a part of them, not|'® Charge of the plant. Mr. Leipold is the engineer At the time the flue was blown out, he happened to be standing near the door- and was able to make his es- cape from the engine room without being injured. Hisescape wasamos t fortunate one, as, had he been standa« ing any other place in the room he would undoubtedly have been seri- ously scalded. The boiler of the mill _had been thoroughly inspected by, . staferc— boiler jnspector, but a short time ago, and stood the test in a most satisfactory manner, “ and the acci- dent wasa great surprise to those operating the mill. The boiler will be repaired at once and the mill resume running as soon as possible, Robert Ashley Married.
