McINTOSH BALL TEAM WAS DEFEATED YESTERDAY, 9-2 Narveson Was Touched Up and Baumgartner Pitched Rather Freely.—Charles Roy Fine Ball.—Yisitors Should Have Been Shut Out. On a muddy field, with rain falling most of the time during the contest, the Bemidji baseball team defeated the strong MclIntosh aggregation yesterday afternoon, by a score of 9 to 3—and the visitors would have been shut out but for a bunch of wild heaves and a muff when two McIntosh runners were caught be- tween second base and the home plate, the runners finally both scor- ing, the two runs being unearned. Outside the this one inning, * visiting players never had a look-in to score, and the locals held the men from the west safe at all stages of the game. It looked, most of the forenoon and well on into the afternoon, as if it would be impossible to pull off a ball game. The rain had made the grounds a sea of mud, but when there was cessation of the downpour, about 3 in the afternoon a devoted bunch of the thirty-third degree “fans” wended their way to the ball park and it was decided to play the match. Considerable interest was centered in the fact that Charles Roy, a brother of “Louie” Roy, was scheduled to pitch several innings of the game against the visitors. Charles used to pitch for Newark, in | the Eastern Isague, and he has con- siderable of a “rep” asa heaver of bad ones where the bats don’t reach ’em, Charles pitched the first three innings of the game, and showed up all to the good. This was his first throwing this year, and he went onto the field with only his walking shoes on. However, he allowed but one scratch hit, struck out four, and was “there with the goods,” all the time. Owing to the fact that he had no practice this season, he went to right field, and Fred Baumgartner finished the game. Charles did | yore. some fine work in the field, coming in fast on one occasion and throw- ing a runner out at third and another time making a sensational catch o of an apparently safe hit. Baumgartner pitched fine ball. He struck out seven, and allowed two hits. Bert Barker played game at third base. everything nicely that came his way, and lined out two pretty |singles at times when the hits counted. Bert is a steady, reliable player. “Louie” Roy, behind the bat, was the same old stonewall as of He always has his head with him, and his coaching keeps ginger in the locals. The remainder of the team played good ball, and Barker, Roy and Collins hit out the ball for two-bag- gers each. Narveson the “kid” twirler who recently pitched a shut-out game against the Thief River Falls team, allowing them but one hit, was on the mound for McIntosh. Bemidji took kindly to his benders in the first inning, a single and a two- bagger, in rapid succession, giving an earned run, and a chance for a double play was missed by the McIntosh infield, which took some of the confidence out of Narveson. However he pitched a good game, good enough to win in the major- ity of games, but his teammates could not hit, and made many errors. However, Bemidji earned three of her runs, while both that MclIntosh secured were obtained on errors. Narveson struck out five, gave two bases on balls, hit three bat.ers, and was touched up for six hits, three being two- baggers. The Bemidji team was altogether too fast for the visitors, and the game was never in doubt from the first inning. a splendid He handled *“The New Dominion,” Tonight. Mr. Clay Clement and his splen- did company arrived in the city this afternoon and will give the performance of “The New Domin- ion” at the City Opera House this evening. - - CLAY CLEMENT All who can possibly do so should attend this performance as it is seldom that one is given the oppor- tunity of seeing so finished an actor in so fine a drama, Death Visits Moorhead Family.

It has been suggested that an effort be made by citizens of Bemidji to secure for this city the next annual reunion of the old veterans of the First Minnesota Volunteers— the heroes who faught so nobly for their country in the great civil war. L. G. Pendergast this city, who is now custodian of the old state capi- tol at St. Paul but who still regards Bemidji as his home, has written to L. F. Johnson of this city, suggesting that the city council, the mayor and others unite in extending an invita- tion to the veterans to meet here next year. The survivors of that regiment will meet at Minneapolis on the 10th inst, and it is Mr. Pendergast’s purpose to extend the invitation at that meeting. In a letter to . W. Bailey, com mander of the Bemidji G. A. R. post, Mr. Pendergast says: “Iwould like to have the mayor and city council of Bemidji as well as R. H. Carr Post, G. A. R., extend an invitation to the First Regiment and their ladies to go to Bemidji for their next meeting, which will un- doubtedly be held during the month of June, 1909, as guests of the city. I would also suggest that a special invitation be sent to J. J. Hill and wife ashonorary members of the organization. I know that Mr. Hill would be pleased to receive the invitation, and would certainly try to be there for the reunion. Get the invitation to me at once—not later than Tuesday, the 9th.” LAKESHORE, ALLEYS AND STREETS NEED GLEANING A Get-Together Move Is Necessary in Order to Present a Decent Appearance. Will the visitors who come to Be- midji next week be confronted with fil- thy back alleys, paper-strewn streets, and a general unkempt appearance of municipal uncleanliness that would dis- grace a backwoods hamlet? Unless some concerted effort is put forth for a general cleaning up on the part of the proper city offi- cials, the alleys and vacant lots, and even the main streets of Bemidji will present an appearance to visitors, next week, that will eternally dis- grace the fair name of Bemidji. Blest with a beautiful lake that is the envy of all other towns in the state, the visitor or local citizen who desires to go out on the water is con- fronted, whenever he attempts to land along the fine beach of the lake, with a bunch of saw logs, three, four and - even a dozen deep, which prevents any decent kind of an outing for a person wanting a boat ride. There are places (and right in the heart of the city, too) were the foul-smelling collection of filth and dirt would turn the stomach of a hog. The streets are filled half of the time with flying scraps that scare horses and discomode pedestrians, and is very aggravating. The Pioneer may be centured for this article, but what must be brought home to the city officials and residents of Bemidji generally is absolutely necessary, if we are to make any kind of a showing to visitors within our gates. Don’t let outsiders come amohg us and go away with stories as to the miserable uncleanliness of our streets, alleys and" erstwhile beau ti- ful lakeshore. CLEAN UP! " Wreck on G. N. An extra west-bound freight train on the Great Northern was wrecked last night at about 12 o’clock, one mile east of McIntosh. The wreck was caused by the spreading of the rails, several cars leaving the track, which was torn up for several hundred feet. The west bound passenger train last night was delayed a few hours by the wreck. A special was run from Crookston and the passengers and baggage were transferred around the wreck. The east bound train had passed that point before the derailment occurred. The east bound passenger train this noon was delayed one hour, as it took about twelve hours to clear away the wmckaée.
