FORTY CENTS PER MONTE: INTERESTING BALL GAM| PLAYED ON LOCAL DIAMOND The Walker and Bemidji Teams Play a Good Game With Final Score of 1 to 0 in Favor of Bemidji.--- Another Game Today. ‘The best exhibition of the Great American Game ever seen in Bemidji was pulled off at the local park yesterday, when the home team won from Walker by the narrow margin Both teams showed up in fine form and it was anybodys game till the last man went down. The play was fast and snappy, full of clever headwork and errors were conspicuous by their absence. “Chief” Emerson in the box for Bemidji pitched a star game. He had endless variety of new ones for the visitors to practice upon and only five or six times did they make connections with his twirlers with enough persuasive power to force the out field into action. But nine men tapped the ball for first base and eleven struck out. Roy handled the home plate in his usual fine manner and with the exception of two or three errors which he did not prove to be costly the support from the field was all the battery could ask for. Peterson came home in the second on a hard drive made by Emerson, the only man to cross home plate during the entire game. Tim Keefe, who caught for Akeley last Sunday came up with Walker of one to nothing. and officiated behind the slab with good effect. Rogers played in the field. Peppin filling the box for the visitors. Every man on the team played fast clean ball, the only weakness being in the out field. The game was particularly free from “rag chewing” and “beefing” and shows that we have the material here to put up a fast game when the “spirit moves” the right way. A few such exhibitions as yesterdays ought to awaken some baseball enthusiasm in the local fans. The line-up was as follows: Walker Bemidji Nelson ss Busch Sundby If Carlton Keefe e Roy Cleminger 3b Hazen Rogers cf Otto Rowe of Peterson Downs 1b Riddell Smith 2b Govro Peppin P Emerson Umpire, J. Carlton. The two teams will play another game this afternoon and lovers of the national sport should be on hand at 3:30 to see this game. The line up will be the same as yesterday, and one of the most interesting games of the season will be played. LIEUTENANT DOCKERY 1S T0 CONTINUE REGRUITING Adjutant General of Army So Decides in Letter to Popular Army Officer. The Duluth News-Tribune has the following to say concerning Lieu- tenant C. H. Dockery, Jr., who is well known in this city: O. H. Dockery, United States army recruiting officer, received a letter yesterday from the adjutant general of the army, in which he states that by directions of the secretary of war, Lieutenant Dockery will have to continue recruiting duty for some time after “Lieutenant October 1, although at that time the | lieutenant’s term of duty will expire. “Lieutenant Dockery notified the department some time ago that he desired to be united with his old regiment, which at this time, is in Alaska. Owing to the excellent work accomplished by Lieutenant Dockery as a recruiting officer, his services are desired in this line. “Today Lieutenant Dockery will leave for Ashland, where he will ex- amine several men for the service. Tomorrow he will go to Hibbing and Bemidji, where several more men await examination. “July and August have been the best months experienced by the army recruiting officers. Qut of 250 applicants who appeared during the month of July, 29 were accepted. During the present month more than 200 have applied and from this number about 20 have been accepted. “This work by the recruiting office is considered excellent when it is considered that there is such a scarcity of men for labor of all kinds and the times are so prosper- ous. Although the army is in need of more men than ever before, the bars for admission into the service are not lowered in the least, and the difficult examinations remain the same.” —ie Additional Locals Miss Edna Giles of Fisher was a guest in our city yesterday and today.

Firemen Will Give Dance. There was a very fair attendance of firemen at the regular monthly meeting of the department, which was held at the fire rooms in the city hall iast evening.
