fi\stonm‘ Sodety: MINNESOTA lSTORlGAL SOCIETY THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER, VOLUME 7. NUMBER 59. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1909. FORTY CENTS PEB MONTH THE COLORED PLAY SUNDAY AND MONDAY GOPHERS TO Speediest Colored Aggregation in Minnesota Will Entertan Bemidji Tomorrow Afternoon and Monday Evening.— Grady Pitches Tomorrow; ‘‘Baum’ Monday. BATTERY FOR SUNDAY: (Game called at 3:30.) Bemidji — Grady and Oman (of Cass Lake). Gophers—Steele and McMurry. BATTERY FOR MONDAY: (Game called at 6:45.) Bemidji—Baumgardner and Galla- gher. Gophers—Garrison and McMurry. Long Prairie 4, Gophers 0. Long Prairie, June 26.—(Special to Pioneer.) —Long Prairie shut out the Colored Gophers yesterday, 4 to 0. Wilson pitched for the locals, and was given great support. Both Steele and Garrison pitched for the Gophers, McMurry catching. Steele will pitch for the Gophers at Bemidji tomorrow. The “Colored Gophers,” America’s acknowledged greatest colored base- ball team will play two games against the Bemidji team, one Sunday and the other Monday, and it is expected that record-breaking crowds will attend both games. This aggregation of colored talent is made up of the very best indivi- dual colored ball players who can be secured, and they come from all parts of the country. They have been trained to the minute and their team work and combi- nation playing is well nigh perfect. In addition to being fast and clean players, they have with them a num- ber of coachers and talkers who are the acme of humor personfied, and it is well worth the price of admission to hear oneof these boys on the coach line. The team has made a splendid record this year, winning a large percentage of the games played, which have been contests against the very best semi-professional teams in the state. They carry a large roster of players, so that in case of injuries to any particular “tosser” which will put him out of the game, his place can be filled by another player. Last year the team played 137 games, winning 116 and losing 21. In 1907, the “Gophers” won 92 games and lost 14. Bemidji team, states that he will have some new faces in the line-up for the two games against the fam- ous colored team. Grady, the giant pitcher of the Cass Lake team, will hurl tomor- row’s game, and Oman, the Cass Lake catcher, will be at the receiv- ing end. They make a good bat- tery and it is believed will give the colored tossers a contest all the way. Baumgardner, Bemidji’s steady twirler, will be in the box for Bemidji Monday evening and Gal- lagher, an ex-member of the North- ern-Copper Country league, will, catch. They should work well together. ““Monte” Brown, formerly pitcher for the University of Minnesota, is now a resident of Bemidji, and will probably play with Bemidji “Toby” Farrell of Cass Lake will cover the second base for Bemidji. (“Toby” made a home run - for Bemidji in the Wahpeton series,) The management of the local team has gone to considerable expense to get the famous colored players here, and a large crowd should turn out and see the games, which should not be altogether one-sided, judging from the line-up that is being secured for Bemidji. Attention, Ball Players. All members of the Bemidji squad of city baseball players are urged to be present at the park this even- ing and practice for the two games which will be played against the Gophers, Sunday and Monday. Be on hand early, as you will need to be “in top form.” JUDGE SPOONER TAKES A PARTNER IN-LAW OFFIGE M.°). Brown, Son of Judge Brown of Supreme Court, Becomes Member of the Local Bar. The very efficient bar of Bemid]j has been augmented by the addition of M. J. Brown of Minneapolis, son of Judge C. L. Brown, one of the justices of the state supreme . court. Mr. Brown has formed a legal partnership with Hon. M. A. Spooner, ex-judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district. He came to the city the first of the week and is already established with Judge Spooner in the latter’s offices in the Miles Block, and his association with the judge will give the latter a very strong assistant in handling his large and increasing practice. M. J. Brown is a graduate of the University of Minnesota of ’07, securing the degree of A. B. He graduated from the law school of the University of ’09, taking the degree of L. L. B. and is thoroughly versed in all that an up-to-date university can teach an aspirant for legal honors. Mr. Brown comes from a family of jurists who have won consider- able legal renown. Judge C. L. Brown, father of M. J. Brown, is now and has been for some time past justice of the supreme court of Minnesota. John H. Brown, grand- father of M. J. Brown, was for years judge of the district court at Wil- mar, Minnesota. This was during the 80’s. He is known to many of the old time residents of Minnesota. An uncle of C. L. Brown was judge of the district court of Shakopee. Judge M. A. Spooner appeared before all three of these judges and tried a number of cases .| before them. Judge Spooner is to be congratu- lated in securing for his assistant a young man who gives worthy promise of winning a place in the front rank of the bar of the state. Jobbers “‘Passed Us Up.” The party of wholesalers who are members of the St. Paul Jobbers’ Union and who have been making a tour of towns throughout the northwest and west, decided not to make a trip over the line of the G. N. east of Crookston. They went in to St. Paul from Grand Forks yesterday, completeing their lengthy visit. John Moberg Improving. Word comes from Fargo to the effect that John Moberg, who recently went to Fargo and entered a hospital there is getting better, and he has written Mrs. Moberg that he will most certainly be home and assist the other patriotic resi- dents of Bemidji celebrate July Sth. Mrs. John Ham departed this morning for St. Paul, after having visited for some time at the home of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Kemp. M. S. Gillette, manager of the|, City Opera Houee. The Raymond Bell company was given a good house last night, when the company presented “The Girl of Eagle Ranch,” at the City Opera house, and all who attended the performance pronounce it to have been one of the very best ever given at the local play house. Prof. Harry Masten’s new orchestra was together for the first time, and the eight players did very well, being recipients of prolonged applause, and Prof. Masten was compelled to bow his acknowledge- ments several times. The company was strong in the play given last evening. All were well up in their parts and *showed their unmistakable appreciation of the attendance that was given them. Tonight the company gives “Ten- nessee’s Pardner,” a splendid play that abounds in comedy and dramatic situations, and all who can should attend, as the company is deserving in every way of a large crowd. Good Show and Good Music =t e COMPANY K WILL HAVE and these two officials will at once ~|begin the work of preparing the STRONG FOOTBALL TEAM John Hillaby Is Elected Manager and Ted Getchell Captain.—Taking ‘The members of Company K, Be- midjis’ militia boys, intend to have a very strong football team, for this fall’'s campaign, and with this determination formed, the members of the company have already been looking over the tompany to ascer- tain what material is at hand for the £om:non of a formidable eleven. While the company was in camp at Lakeview, the boys elected First Lieutenant John Hillaby as manager of the Company K football eleven and Ted Getchell, the big gaurd, was unanimously - chosen captain, once. candidates for positions on the team. Last year, Company K had a very strong, heavy eleven, and lost but one game, that going to Grand Rapids by reason of the weakness of a substitute who was placed in the line and through whom the Rapids boys made a touchdown. Nearly all of last year’s team are living in the city at the present time, and there is new material from which good football timber can be developed, and it is expected that the eleven can be made fully as strong as ever. It is likely that a coach will be engaged, who could take charge of both Company K and the Bemidji High school eleven. Tennis Notice. All those desiring to join Tennis Club should see undersigned at Grounds will be ready to play on again by the 1st of July. ; —A. A. Andrews. FIREMEN’'S TOURNAMENT ENDED YESTERDAY P. M.
