VOLUME 7. NUMBER 54. : o Society: g BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1909. . IED iE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER/ FORTY CENTS PER MONTH BRAINERD WAS DEFEATED BY BEMIDJI. --BAGLEY WON Locals Handed Brainerd 10-2 ‘‘Package.”—Bush Batted Like Fiend.—Bagley and Fosston Played Excit- ing Eleven-Inning Contest at Bagley. Bemidji won a game yesterday afternoon from Brainerd, in a con- test which abounded in -errors and good, bad and indifferent playing that made the affair an exciting exhibition of the great national game. The final score of the game was 10 to 2, in favor of Bemidji, and should have been a shut-out of Brainerd, had the local team given Baumgardner, who was on the mound for Bemidji, good support. “Baum” twirled a fine game; he had splendid control, giving but one base on balls, striking out thirteen and allowing but one lone hit, that being secured by Roderick, the ex-catcher for the Staples team, who was playing right field for Brainerd. - A “HIGH BALL.” Bush Lifted the Ball Over the Fence. The visitors did not come anywhere near earning a run, and were indeed lucky that some of the Bemidji fielders fell down temporarily. Bush put up one of the greatest batting exhibitions even seen on a local diamond. He was at bat five times, making a home run the first man up for the locals, and securing- ing also two two-base hits and a single, running bases with good judgment and doing a great stunt at the short field. His playing was in decided contrast to the errors of some of his team-mates. The locals were ‘“‘shy” players company at Lake City, and the absence of some of the regular line- up disorganized the play very con- siderably. The absentees were represented by substitutes; and everything considered, Bemidii was lucky in putting up so 'good a game several against Brainerd. Eckel was weak behind the bat, his passed strikes being very costly. The fact that the ground around the batter’s plate is torn up probably had much to do with the boy’s work, as he wore a pair of tennis shoes that would not hold 2 good footing. It has been stated on several occasions that Summers, the fast Duluth ballist who is playing in |the Northwest Canada league, would come to Bemidji, but as time passes he fails to put in an appear- ance and his proposed arrival is considered a matter of doubt by Pioneer.)—The warmest game -of baseball that has ever been pulled off on the Bagley diamond was that of yesterday between the Fosston and Bagley.nines, which went eleven innings and was finally won by the local team, the score being 2 to 1. For eight straight innings the score stood 0 to O and only twenty- four men faced each pitcher. In the ninth inning each side madea score, when the excitement reached a fever pitch and it was with diffi- culty that the officers on the ground kept the fans of Fosston and Bagley from interfering with the game. Unmpire Benson of Bemidji, in this inning, apparently lost his head for a second or two when both sides were to bat, and the way the fans hooted or cheered was encugh to make the ordinary spectator wonder if they were bereft of their senses. In the tenth inning both drew “goose eggs,” which kept the excite- ment up to the top pitch. In the eleventh, Fosston failed to score the first half, and when Bag- most of the local f‘fans.” Had he ley came to bat, with but a few 'SCOTT STEWART WON THE SECOND PRIZE AT CAMP Pioneer Correspondent Says He Should Have Been Awarded First Prize, the Gold Medal. Camp Lakeview, June 21.— (Special to Pioneer.)—In the field day exercises of the Third Regiment, which were held Saturday, Scott T. Stewart of Bemidji, sergeant of Company K, fairly won the gold medal for making the most number of points in the day’s sports, but for some unknown reason he was counted out of the first prize (gold medal) and received only the silver medal’ indicative of winning second place in the sports of the day. Ellsworth of Company F was given first prize and awarded the gold medal, with twelve points to his credit. Sergeant Stewaat was second in minutes to spare before the train the 100-yard dash, getting three Prof, Hay Is Here. Prof. Hay of Thief River Falls, who will have charge of the summer school for Beltrami county, which began this morning, arrived in the city yesterday- and will remain here until the session closes. The pro- fessor will camp on the shore of Lake Bemidji, which he says is one of the most pleasant pastimes that he enjoys. Professor Hay was very active in the normal school fight last winter and did yoeman service for the work of attempting to get a normal schoo] at a suitable place in the nortwestern part of the state. He worked in conjunction with the representatives of Bemidji and was at all times “‘on the square” in a proposition where the opponents of Bemidji were for the most part anything but fair.

A varied program has been arranged—one that will insure an enjoyable time to everyone who at- tends the meet and the tourney.

With more practice, however, and a better pitcher, Brainerd would have a very good team. M. F. Willson umpired with his usual fairness. The teams lined up as follows: Bemidji—Bush ss, LeGore rf, Garry 2b, Riddell 1b, Barker 3b, Pepper cf, Eckel ¢, Gillette 1f, Baum- who are with the militia; gardner p.

Ridgeway Alleged o Have Kin- dled Fire that Burned Over a Large Area. W. S. Ridgeway, a prominent resi- dent of Nymore, was arrested Friday evening on a charge of having set a dangerous fire to a brush pile during a dry and dangerous' season, on a complaint sworn out at the instance of the state forest preservation department. : Mr. Ridgeway is charged with having set fire to his brush piles near Nymore on June 14 at a time when it was dangerous on account of the extremely dry weather, it being claimed that he has violated the new forest fire l]aw which was passed at the last session of the state legislature and which is very strict in regard to carelessness in the use of fire. The fire sprang up the next day and it required the work of between fifteen and twenty men to prevent the burning over of the Nymore cemetery. Mr. Ridgeway was taken before Justice J. B. Hock of Nymore and pleaded not guilty as charged in the complaint and the date of the trial was set for 2 o’clock next Saturday afternoon at the willage hall in Nymore. In the past years great damage has been done in this section of the state by forest fires which were mostly started by carelessness and the law could not reach the offenders but the law passed by the 1909 legis- lature is sweeping in its reach and very drastic. People should be very careful in the use of fire at this time of the year, especially during the dry and dangerous season. Rev. L. Moe of Akeley was| ] points, first in the 220-yard race, getting five points; he was third in the relay race, getting ove point; third in the broad jump, one point; third in tent pitching, one point, SERGT.

PURE FOOD INSPEGTOR WAS VISITOR IN CITY Compliments Condition of Local Meat Markets.—Tells Users of Milk to Cleanse Cans. E. B. Heiberg, the St. Paul inspector for the pure food depart- ment of the State Dairy & Food commission, was a visitor in Bemidji over Sunday, arriving Saturday and remaining here yesterday and today looking after matters in connection with his official work. Mr. Heiberg inspected several of the milk and ice cream cans which are being used here and, while he would say pothing as to what he found, he warned all users of milk and ice cream that the cans must be thoroughly cleansed when empty and before being returned to the shippers, and that a heavy fine is provided for anv person not com- plying with this requirement of the pure food law. Mr. Heiberg made a thorough inspection of the meat markets of the city and found them all in good shape. Relative to the insbection ‘of the meat markets, Mr. Heiberg said: “I want to compliment Bemidji on the cleanliness and thoroughly systematic manner in which the meat markets are conducted. You are certainly fortunate in having clean markets which handle nothing but wholesome meats.” Misses Grace Halvorson and Mabel Whaley, residents of Baudette, came to the city last night and registered as guests at the Markham Hotel.
