Bemidl, -, tlks' State Convention s se's THE BEMIDJI D: VOLUME 6. NUMBER 49. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 15; 1908, and 20. I Big Celebrat FORTY CENTS PER MONTH NORTH-COUNTRY BASEBALL GAMES SUNDAY GOOD ONES Bemidji Defeated Brainerd.---Intermational Falls Won Twelve-Inning Battle from Littlefork.---Hibbing Won from Staples.---Cass Lake Wiped Out Nymore. The Bemidji ball team won an- other easy victory yesterday, when the local players defeated Brainerd by a score of 5 to 1, the visiting players, after the first two innings, never having a look-in for a score or chance to win out. The principal reason for the defeat of Brainerd was the inability of the visiting pitcher, Hale, to locate the plate, and his wildness contributing in no small measure to the defeat of his team. Hale gave eight bases on balls, and in one inning passed enough men to first base to force in a run. He was not hit very hard, the locals securing five bingles off his delivery, but his whiskered heaves kept the catcher dancing on both sides of the plate. Hale struck out four, allowed five hits, gave eight bases on balls and was generally unsteady. The men playing back of him did fairly well, but five large jucy errors showed that the team was rather weak in fielding Fred Baumgartner pitched for Bemidji and did excellent work. He got a bad start in the first inning when two were on bases with but only one man out, but a fine double play by Riddell, unassisted, pulled him out of the bad hole. Again in the second inning Fred was slightly unsteady, but with good ficlding, the visitors would not have profited thereby. Errors, allowing Wilson to score the only run secured by the visitors, occurred in .the second inning. Baumgartner settled down and it was one, two and three until the finish. Baumgartner struck out four, gave four bases on ball and allowed but three scratch singles. He should have had a shut-out as Brainerd’s run was unearned. Roy caught a good game but was weak in throwing to bases. “Old Hoss” Riddell played like a colt. He made a double play un- assisted, and ran bases with a reck- less abandon that was good to see. The remainder of the local team played fairly good ball. The following is the score by inn- ings; Brainerd—0 1 0 000 0 0 0—1 Bemidji—0 003002 0 x—5 International Falls Won. International Falls, June 15— (Special to Pioneer.)—International Falls defeated Littlefork here yester- day afternoon, by a score of 2 to 1, in a desparately-contested baseball game which went twelve innings before a decision was reached. The game was witnesse d by a large crowd, including about fifty people from Littlefork, who came up on the special train in the morning. The game was a hot contest from the minute the first ball was pitched uutil the last man was out in the twelfth inning, and the rooting of the spectators were simply fierce. Littlefork got a score in the first inning; International Falls got one in the second inning; and as inning after inning passed and neither side made a score, the excitement was intense. Pandemonium broke loose in the twelfth inning, when Internationa Falls managed to get another score, winning the game: The contest was the best game ever played in this part of the state, and all of the players did great work. Batteries—Littlefork, Ritchie and Ritchie; International Falls, Wobins and Wilson. Hibbing “‘Trimmed” Staples. Staples, June 15.—In one of the most sensational games ever played in this city, Hibbing defeated the locals in a 10-inning contest Satur- day by a score of 5to2. A cold northwest wind swept across the field, but did not deter both teams from playing magnificent ball. The features were the hitting of Mogni- hen and Kleffman, a running one. handed catch by Fagan and the pitching of Gilchrist, who allowed Staples but one hit up to the tenth inning. Batteries—Gilchrist and Carroll; Norris and Roderick. The Hibbing team will play here against Bemidji, Thursday and Friday, and the Bemidji team will be greatly strengthened for the games. Cass Lake 17, Nymore 3. Cass Lake, June 15.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The game of baseball played Sunday between Cass Lake and Nymore was a very much one. sided affair. Rig Gene Grady the Cass Lake pitcher was almost invin- cible and were it not for a series of errors py the basemen in the seventh inning Nymore would have been shut out. The score at the end stood 17 to 3 in favor of Cass Lake. Kruse did the twirling for Nymore and pitched a good game but his support was ragged. The local team expects to play International Falls next Sunday. —e _—— Hetland’s Millinery Sale Opens Monday, June 15th, and continues for ten days.

G., Bemidji’s quota of national protectors, departed yesterday after- noon, via Crookston, for their annual encampment at Lake City. The main body of Company K, composed of forty-nine officers and men, dressed in their khaki (service) uniforms, marched to the Great Northern depot, accompanied by the girls’ Blue Cross association and the Bemidji band, the latter ten strong. A special sleeper had been side- tracked here for the use of Company K. Itwas a tourist car and was stripped of bedding so that the boys might sleep on their blankets. The car contained: a kitchen range for cooking and several lockers, where the boys could stack their guns. Company K greatly enjoyed the presensence of the Blue Cross girls. The-girls were loyal and treated the boys rovyally, giving the Company a rousing cheer as the train pulled out.

He has been stepping every day—hasn’t missed a work out while the stables at Duluth haven’t so much as had a work out yet. “Bob’ put Little Jim over an eighth in 16 1-2 one day this week. Little Jim has worked out the mile in 2:30 and Aleck J has dome it.in 2:35 stepping the last eighth in 17 1-2. “Dr. Farmer and W. F. Guyott of McKinley were here yesterday watching their horses work out at the track.” Cherry will be in Bemidji June 20- 21, with “Litile Jim” and the rest of his string of “goers,” and will par- ticipate in the races to be given on those dates under the auspices of the Bemidii Jockey Club.
