THE BEMIDJI D VOLUME 7. NUMBER 31. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, MAY .24, 1909 . NORTH-COUNTRY BASEBALL GAMES WERE EXCITING Bemidj High Lost---Bemidji City Team Won Double- i Header---Fosston and Ada Played 13-Inning Tie, Neither Scoring---Big Falls Won. Grand Rapids High Won. Local “fans” were given baseball “a-plenty,” Saturday and Sunday, three games being contested, all of which were interesting. Saturday afternoon, the Grand Rapids high school team defeated Bemidji high, by a score of 12 to 6, in a game of which the visiting play- ers easily demonstrated their su- periority over the locals, at all de- partments of the game. The two teams lined up as follows: Grand Rapids—Wahlen ss, Bran- don 2b, Lofberg 3b, Fraser 1b, Reuswig rf, Logan cf, A, Teul c, McAlpine If, E. Teul p. Bemidji—Ryan 1b, Hillard c, Gill p and rf, Breneman 3b, Kruse ss and p, Gould cf, Larson 2b, Neu- man rf, Winebrenner ss and Ii. Teul, tor Grand Rapids, pitched a fine game. He had splendid con- trol, scattered, being given fine support behind the bat by his brother. He struck out ten three hits. The remainder of the team played a fair game. Gill started in to pitch for Be-| midji and remained “on the rubber” until the sixth inning, when he was succeeded by Kruse. on two in five inningsand Kruse “fanned” three in four innings. The Grand Rapids players made a total of eight hits, errors being responsible for <«uns by Bemidji. The game was conducted in a very orderly manner. There was not the semblance of a dispute, and the crowd treated the visitors very courteously. contest exciting at all times. It was known that Grady, the big, speedy hurler of “foolers,” would pitch for Cass Lake, and much was expected of him. Grady did very well. This was his first game of the season, and he did not fully use his terrific speed. As it was, however, he pitched a fine game, and but for uusteadiness toward the close would have held the locals to one score. He allowee Bemidji but four hits and struck out seven; but he gave two batters bases on balls and hit two, one of the bases on balls(to LaGore) The editor of the Pioneer umpired | being followed by a two-bagger by balls and strikes, and the visiting | Mitchell, giving a score. players, as well as the home boyvs,{ John Oman (“Cotton”) caught a stated very emphatically that they|good game, and the support given got a fair deal, and would tell the |the battery was very fair, the visitors Herald-Review man that such was | however, showing a woeul lack of was steady and kept the hits| and allowed but| Gill struck | a majority of the[ the case.

Yesterday, the management of the city team furnished the attraction of a double-header, the Bagley team playing a seven inning game, beginning at 1:30, and the Cass Lakej team coming over for a full nine- inning game, beginning at 4 o’clock. The game between Bagley and Be- midji was a wierd exhibition, the {locals winning by a score of 13 to 8.1 Mitchell and LaGore pitched for Be- i midji, with Eckel catching. Wilson started twirling for Bagley, | but was replaced toward the close, his successor dcing much better work. i The two local pitchers did fair work, there being many errors made on both sides, the game being any- thing but a perfect exhibition of baseball. s Bemidji 4, Cass Lake 1. The game between Cass Lake antd Bemidji was a fast exhibition; and the locals won out only after a hard | fight, there being brilliant, fair and indifferent playing, sandwiched judi- cially,in a manner that made the practice. Neils, second baseman for the visitors, led his team in hitting, get- ting two of the three hits given Cass Lake. Baumgardner pitched one of the best games of his baseball career. He struck out eleven of the visitors, allowed them but three hits and was steady throughout, wavering but twice, once hitting a batsman and | furnishing one opponent free trans-| portation to first base. Eckel caught a good game, but isa trifle weak throwing to second base; otherwise “the kid” plays a fine game. LaGore did nice work, out in the right garden, making three fine catches of difficalt flies in the “sun field,” getting two nice hits and making to scorces. The “old hoss” was right in the game from the start. Mitchell got a two-bagger, and the other hit was secured by Carl- ton. Finnessy, in right field for the visitors, cut off two other hits that looked perfectly safe, making circus catches in both instances. There was a fairly good attend- ance at the game, quite a aumber coming over from Cass Lake to see the contest. The visiting play- ers and spectators were shown every courtesy, and there was nothing to indicate that there is still a bitter FREE! or ‘Plant. BEMIDJI, tH FREE!

Up to the eleventh inning Cadreau, for Fosston, had not allowed a hit. He only allowed two hits during the entire game. Summers, for Ada, pitched a splendid game and worked himself {out of many tight places, when Foss-, {ton had runners on second and third. Only one of the visitors reached third base. Fosston had runners on second and third, three times, but the old veteran, Summers, tightened up and prevented scores. Batteries: Fosston—Cadreau and Louis Roy; Ada—Summers and Bet- cher.

LOGAL SALOONKEEPERS WON'T SELL REDS BOOZE alty Heavy.—Violators of Agree- ment Will Leose License. The Bemidji saloonkeepers have entered into an agreement with a Tepresentative of the Minnesota State Brewers’ association and John P. Pogue, mayor of Bemidji, whereby local dispensers of “‘refreshments” bind themselves to sell no intoxi- cating liquors of any description to Indiams. They further agreed that in case any one of their num- ber violated the agreement his license should be revoked and his business suspended. Frederick Zolknan, attorney for the Minnesota State Brewers’ asso- ciation, was present at the meeting and explained to the assembled saloon men that the United States government ‘had ecently decided that the saloons of Bemidji and towns in this part of the state are in what is termed as the “Indian zone” (that is,being adjacent to the Indian reservations) and that drastic meas- ures were to be taken to prevent the selling of liquor to Indians; that in order to continue im business it would be necessary o exercise strict enforcement of themeguirement that the Redmen be sold ano liquor of any description. At the conclusion of Mr. Zéliman’s address all saloonkeepers claimesl | that they would sell no liquor tof Indians and that in case any of them violated the agreement his license should be taken from him., Mayor Pogue stated, emphatically, that he would see to it that any violator of the agreement was im- mediately put out of business, with no chance of appealing from his action. It was stated at the meeting that it was generally believed that the Zovernment would insist on the saloons being closed and absolutely done away with at Bena and Ball Club, east of Cass Lake, and also im Mahnomen, re:servation. —= Fairbanks Arrives In Japan. | Tokio, May 24—Japan lost one dis- tinguished foreigner and gained an- other with the departure for London of the British ambassador, Sir Claude MacDonald, and the arrival of former Vice President Charles W.
