TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY WAS LARGELY ATTENDED Park Rapids Meet Furnished Exciting Firemen’s Races.--- Park Rapids and Cass Lake Played Close Game of Ball, Park Rapids Winning. Three thousand people witnessed the firemen’s races and baseball game at Park Rapids yesterday, which provided some great sport. In the firemen’s races, ths princi- pal interest centered in the contest for first place in each event, between the Park Rapids and Grand Rapids teams. On Wednesday, the Park Rapids running team won the association championship banner, the Grand Rapids team breaking hose and finishing last. There was much rivalry between the two teams, and prior to the run- ning of the hub-and-hub race yester- day, considerable money was wag- ered on the respective merits of each. The race was won by Grand Rapids, in 23 3-5 seconds, Rapids, making the run in 24, Cass Lake in 27 2-5 and Akeley in 28, Grand Rapids showing more speed than the other competitors. In the association hook and ladder service test, Grand Rapids, the first team to run, lost the ladder shortly after starting and was ruled out. Park Rapids won the race in 35 seconds; Cass Lake second, 38 2.5 seconds; Akeley, third, 41 seconds. In the afternoon the novelty race was run, wherein 300 feet of hose| was laid, two sections being uncoupled and removed and coupled in another part of the line. This race resulted as follows: Grand Rapids first, time 55 2-5 seconds; Park Rapids second, 59 1-5, Cass Lake third, 61 1-5; Akeley fourth, 76 2-5. This concluded the firemen’s races Park | for the day, and the crowd adjourned to the fair grounds to see the base- ball game between Park Rapids and Cass Lake and the races between local horses. The Park Rapids players were smarting under a 5 to 0 defeat which Cass Lake had given them last Sun- day, and had imported “Lefty” Marsh, the mighty heaver of the Long Prairie team who was with Britton, S. D., last vear, to pitch for them, and they also had Charles Bungo on third. Cass Lake had their battery, Grady and Oman. The curves broke badly for “Big ’Gene,” and in the first inning Park Papids piled up three unearned runs on two bases on balls, two singles, a wild pitch and a passed ball. Park Rapids earned a run in the fifth on two successive sinzles. Seven hits were secured off Grady, and he struck out three. Oman’s throwing to bases was a feature of the game. Marsh pitched a fine game for Park Rapids, allowing Cass Lake five hits, Ittner getting three and Grady two. The game was very exciting after | the first inning. regular Park Rapids, June 26.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The coupling contest, which was held last evening, was productive of some very fast time on the part of the participants. ‘The contest was won by Trevarow of Grand Rapids, who made the couple in 4 3-5 seconds; Steele of Park Rapids was second, 4 4-5 seconds; Johnson of Cass Lake was || third, in 5 1-5 seconds.

Marcie Snow defeated Dan Berg at the Coliseum ‘last evening in a one-mile skating race, thereby win- ning a purse of $40, the same being a wager of $20 a side. The race was something of a disappointment, as shortly after the skaters started, Berg felland Snow gained considerabl before Berg was again on his feet and under way. Snow spurted continually and soon caught Berg, trailing him until the finish, and winning the race by a half, lap. Snow’s time for the mile was 3 minutes and 15 seconds. This time equals that made by Harry Carpen- ter when he raced Jeff LaBeau here last winter. This is considered very fast for so small a rink. It is hoped that some good out- side skater will be pitted against Snow, who is certainly going fast these days. Berg has challenged Snow for an- other race. The challenge has been accepted, and the race will be skated the first of next week. The Boat is a Fine Craft. The new gasoline passenger and freight boat which has been placed on Red Lake for the use of the M. R. L. & M. railway is proving to be a very staunch craft, and is surpass- ing the expectations of its maker, J. W. Kelsey. The boat is already showing a speed of eighteen miles an hour, with a small boat attached, when all that Mr. Kelsey guaranteed was fifteen miles. The boat has not yet been christ- ened. ER.
