For some time past the Masons of Bemidji, and those living in this vicinity, have been agitating the proposjtion of securing a command- ery for this city.

The work of the - tangable form in the shape of a T L visiting team, everything considered, wasa great surprise to Bemidjans. With any kind of luck, Cass Lake would have won the game. They earned the two runs which they se- cured, while two of Bemidji’s runs were made on errors, after the side should have been retired. Cass Lake had Grady ‘“‘on the mound,” and he pitched in mid- season form. “Big ‘Gene” had a world of speed and a great variety of shoots that puzzled Bemidji batters. He struck out fourteen men, "fanning" every man on the team, at least once, except the ““Old Hoss” Riddell, who hit every time he came to bat, getting one clean two-bagger. The remainder of the locals were kept guessing all through “Big 'Gene” Grady Had “Plenty Steam,” the game. Grady startedin strong, and he was going good to the end. He certainly pitched a fine game, and considering that it was his first game of the season, and that _he was facing some of the be: in the north half of the sta.te, hls work was phenominal. Fleming gave Grady good support behind the bat, his throwing being very good. Shaw, a member of the vaudeville team of Shaw and Clyfton, was given to Cass Lake to fill in the vacancy, as was also Freeman. Shaw has been engaged to pitch for Minot in the North Dakota league, he to report to that place May I8th: and if his work here yesterday is any criterian togo by, he will certainly make good over in the “Flickertail” town. He was A Shaw Made a “Homer.” a tower of strength to the visiting team. He played well around second base and wielded the willow with deadly effect. The first time he came up to the plate, he picked out the initial ball thrown by Emerson and with a whack like the crack of doom sent the spheried sailing far over the center field fence for a “homer,” recording one of the longest hits ever made on the local grounds. Again in the fourth inning, he put the ball over the fence, but it only counted for a twobagger, being inside the telegraph pole that marks the half. circuit. After that Emerson took care of Shaw and he got no more hits, striking out the last time he came to bat. Emerson and Roy did the bat- tery work for Bemidji. Emerson wag.in good form, but did not care ming, John Doran and the 4ther dyed-in-the-wool fanatics “got busy” with their “encouragement.” Emer- son heaved ’em over with great con- trol, striking out the mighty Shaw and disposing of the other two bats- men in rotation, leaving the score a tie, with Bemidji an inning to come. Collins opend for Bemidji, and the boy who twists brakes for the M. & L. railway was determined to do something to the big fellow who was firing them over with such terrific speed. “Bill” picked out a nice one which he sent towards first base, looking like an easy out. The ball took a nasty bound and got away from Ittner, Collins landing safe on the bag, by a very close margin. Petrie hit a long fly to right field, which was caught, and in returning the ball to first base to catch Collins, the fielder threw wild, Collins return- ing to first and sailing away to second on the throw. Bush came to bat, and he hit a wicked grass- cutter toward the third base.line. Shortstop Cain got one finger gn the ball, but did not stop its onward e Bush’s Hit “Went Through” Cain and Won the Game. course, and as Collins had started’ from second the instant the ball was hit, he tore around the bags and landed on home plate a foot ahead of the ball, winning the game. It was good work on the part of the center fielder, who played a fine game all the way. Manager Washburn tried out several players yesterday and will continue to give the men a chance to “make good.” As there are many players in the city, there is no reason why this season’s Bemidji team should not be as good as any that has represented this city in the past, The two teams lined up as fol- lows: Bemidji—Beale ss, Baumgartner rf, Collins cf, Roy c, Petrie rf, Bush 2b, Riddell Ib, Barker 3b, Emerson p.
