White’s car winning a prize of $20 for the most beautifully decor- ated car, and Mrs. Gamble's Mets runabout $20 for the most comically decorated; Eugene Berman, Ford; BE. A. Barker, Kissel Kar; A.

The game was a great disappeintment- to the crowd, the largest to ever gather in Bemidji for a baseball contest, who had expected to witness the fast team of Thief River in action. The Bemidji management had been prom- ised on several occasions by Manager Keating. of Thief River Falls™ that the first team of that city was com- ing for the contest. A bunch of kids was sent over instead, the reg- ulars going to Detroit. ; So lacking in interest was the game, the Bemidji players completely outplaying their opponents, that at the end of the-contest only a small number of spectators remained. For a time it was believed that the-game would be delaycd be: e of action of former Manager Daly in calling in his suits which have been worn by the Bemidji men and in collecting the bases which he also owns, but the committee made other arrange- ments, and the “kid” frick of Daly ‘was soon forgotten.

The visitors were able to col- lect but six its off the delivery of Paul, who pitched a heady game throughout. He was given brilliant support, Barrigan, Rice, Brandon and Bailey playing especially well. Bos- coe, who caught for _Bemidji, was found to be as reliable as ever, al- though going through a large por- tion of the game suffering much pain, the result of an old injury. The nine runs secured in the first inning was the result of singles by Irvine avenue. The guests included Miss Rosemary Logan of Grand Rap- ids, Misses Servie McKusick, Dorothy Torrance, Julia Moritz and Gertrude | Malone and the Messrs. Joseph ! Christie, Gregg Malone, Hugh Lo-| gan of International Falls, Ralph Brandon, C.. C. Cross, Douglas Don-| ald, William McDonald and Clarence Jackson. The affair took place Fri- day evening.
