Grand Rapids—Good Ball Played Through Nine Innings. GRAND RAPIDS 7, WEST DULUTH 5. Although a Disagreeable Afternoon Both Teams Did Splendid Work and an Audience of 500 Peopie Witness- ed the Playing With Delight. Abvut as exciting a game of ball as ould be played was presented for the edification of the five hundred people that braved a rain storm and journeyed over the river on Sunday afternuon last. Although not per- fectly played on either side, in fact quite the contrary, it wasa game that kept the crowd un the anxious seat until the last man was out in the wisitor’s half of the ninth inning. ‘Tae game was played between show" ers during the tirst part but after the tifth.inning the rain held off and was’ finished without delay. The grass Was wet and the ball slippery, which would account in a great measure for the otherwise inexcusable muffs made by both sides on easy chanches. These muffs made the game very close and the question of when the next one would come and let in runs was ‘the burning question with the sooters. The game was won through the fine pitching ef Roy, who had the game well in hand afrer the first in- ning. He was invincible with men on bases after this one inving and when in a tight place he would de. dJight the crowd with a strike out. He was very chary of free transpor- tation to first, only one man being Ait and two waiking on wide ones. Young and Larson for, the visitors were just as careful with their pas- ses and made the boys hit it out to et a base. McBride made the sen- sational play of theday when he went after a high foul in the crowd, jump- dng vhe ropes and squeezing through the crowd nearly to the trees and get- ting the ball after his hard run. He also played a heady game ou third, playing in well after the visitors made a couple of nice bunt hits and effectually blocking that style of hitting. Young started in fur West Duluth and proved very much to the Jiking of the boys_and they got a good batting average right from the jump. When Larson went in things looked different and the long hits simmered down to short ones and after scoring one run Off him the boys tock a little rest and devoted their energies to stopping the visitors $from . further scoring. In the ninth inning the fans had another attack of heart disease fur the visitors got two men on bases with no one gone and most any kind of a hit or error meant a tle score. The next man up popped a fly to Gertz which he was very careful to cooper up in his bread winners and the next two men were easy outs. It was this element in the game that anade it so exciting and kept the «crowd on edge until the last, asap error or a good hit would have won when men were on bases, as they were in most every inning. ‘Take the game from a critical stand point -of an old player and it was well worth Seeing and it showed the main point in game winning—the ability to lace them out, without which no team an expect to win more than an oc- «asional game. The way the boys went after the deliyery of Young, who has the reputation of being a good pitcher, delighted all and while it did not bring a lot of runs in one or two innings it showed well in the total and looked much better for the hitting ability of the boys thanif all the runs were bunched in one inning and the rest of the game being big, Jjucy oose eggs. If the boys keep Ludwig and Roy as a battery, and ginger up when it rains and play np to form when it is dry, there is no doubt that they are able to wipe the Sound with anything that trots out- side of a league iz thiscountry. The game was not a success financially, as the rain undoubtedly kept many away and the boys face a case of dig down in their pockets asa result of the visit of the West Duluths. The Eagles of Duluth will be here for the next game, tomorrow, and it is hoped that ws the boys are showing a dispo- sition to get the best thatcan be had in _ the baseball line, the people will turn out and support them. Following is the line up and score by innings: Short Stop.. Peterson & Gretz rotz & Peterfon McAllister -» McBride -Third base... " Sa A FEW SHORT STOPS OF THE GAME. The game was remarkable for the scarcity of fielding chanches. ~ The inflelding of the home team had hardly a.cbance on batted balls. How would it be to cut those mega- phones out and use cannon? The ball teams both speak of the generosity of the band in escourting them over to the grounds. That man Roy is certainly about as heady a player-as ever steped on the local diamond., One er two of his bases on balls looked like he was try- ing to get strong batters oat of the way in order to fan weak ones. The tirst game of the year and only one wild pitch to mar the pitcher’s record, and this with a wet ball. Few league pitchers equal this record. The ball teams were easily distin- guished by the uniforms, one being a handsome maroon and the Rapids boys in their well-known gray. They make a contrast that admits of no mistake. Ludwig has a nice throw to nail runners at the second corner, it being low and easy for the second sackmen to handle. He made one that got his man by a rod or two but the very next one was on the wet ball and would have went over the court house if it had been on the bag. He helps a pitcher in good shape and is the best seen here in years. Murray gave general satisfaction with the indicator and sticks to his decisions. One of his decisions came very near breaking up the game by the West Duluth boys: refusing to go on unless it was changed. At that, he was right, as the rules are very plain and both captains.agreed on the point before the game. He would have been perfectly justified -in for- feiting the game to the home club. The attention of the West Duluth captain is called to Rule 49, Section 4, for further information ou bis contention, The big game in sight now is with Hibbing on Decoration day and the Sunday following. A few days ago we saw an ad. jn the St. Paul Globe by Mr. Brady in which be advertised fora battery. He needs it. GROWTH IN FARMS. Northern Part of the State to Show a Great Developement Soon. The lumber manufacturers and the people who live in the towns or cities in the vicinity of the Northern Min- nesota Indian reservations are look- ing with a good deal of interest upon the recent yisit to the, northern part of this state by the commissioner of the general land office, says the Du- luth Evening Heratd. The belief has been expressed that the possibilities created in Northern Mianesota by the putting on the market of an im- mence amount of timber from the land resérved for the Indians, if hand- led judicious!y, aregreater than many people in this part of the state real- ize. Ibis claimed that the new tim- ber arex made available means the prolonging of the timber industry in this state and also that the great area of lands occupied by the Indians should be offered to those who will make homes there and. develype a part of the state where settlements are few and far between. ‘Thepromi- nent lumber journals of the North- west have been unanimous in declar- ing that the passage of the Morris law has made possible a great devel- opment for Northern Minnesota in a few years. They claim that the ruthless destruction of the forests will nut follow the opening of the reservations, that the law provides against it. It is pointed out that some very large tracts of timber are reserved entircly from sale.. When the timber shall have been cut off the lands they are to be treated as agri- cultural lands and opened for home- stead entry and in this lies the great- est hope of the interests of Northern Minnesota for it will provide still better ingluacement to the tide of emi- gration to the Northwest. The Southern part of this state has de- veloped wonderfully along agricultur- al lines, while the Northern part has depended on its resources of ore and timber. Sentiment in Northern Minnesota during the last few years, however, has been growing steadily stronger in favor of greater efforts for the development of the agricul- tural possibilities and the various commercial interests which have combined with agricultural and in- dustrial interests to pusa forward this development augurs wel} for the movement, It is being predicted by those largely interested in Northern Minnesota jlands that there will be more heard about them thisyear than eyer befure. The possibilities of the thousands of rich acres which are as capable of bringing forth crops year after year us the well tilled acreage in the Southern part of thestate, will be advertised world wide, if sucha thing be possible. The railroad in- terests of Northern Minnesota have in years past been active factors in bringing people into the state to de- et SRY ERR PTSTES CACTI YIN IIE SADT ABCRG ASO NE SLAP NA 32 Ps ARIE EI these companies for the coming year are said to contemplate a campaign ona Scale.even more enormous than in the past. ‘The cry that the Jum- ber manufacturers are exhausting the natural resources of the state are all bosh,” said a local lumberman the other day. ‘There is no value in timber crops until they are harvested. True it takes a great many years to renew a timber crop while agricul- tural crops are renewed every year, but if a reasonable amount of timber is left standing for forestry purposes, along scientific lines and for protec- tion at the sources of the streams, the country should be more uniformly productive and the results from the farms will be greater than from the forests.” Articles of Incorporation —OF— Nashwauk Hardware Go, We, ‘the undersigned, do hereby associate ourselves together for the purpose of forming a corporation in accordance with the provis- ions of ‘Tide two (2), of Chapter thirty-four (34) of the general statutes of 1894 of the Stute of Minnesota. as amended, and for that pur- pose have agreed upon and hereby adopt and sign the i aettan Sregeices of Incorporation, ARTICLE 1. e name of the corpuration shall be Nashwauk Hardware Company and the nature of its business shall be the buying. selling, manufacturing, dealing, mortgaging and improving ali kinds of mer- chandise’ and other Broperg. real, personal, or mixed, and the loaning and borrowing of money or funds with or without mortgage or other security, oither for itself or as agent or broker, Its principal place of business shall be at Nashwauk, Itascs county Minnesota.

Chief Justice J. M. Fitzsimmons of the New York city court told a good story recently of his experiences in the oil regions many years ago. They were working hard for a “strike,” and boring nigat and day, and, as the evenings were cold, a fire was built. One night a vein was struck from which the gas -rushedto a height of over a hundred feet, and a stream of fire shot into the air. The foreman, Tim McCarty, rushed to the door with a yell, “Get up, get up, Fitzsimmons, ‘We've broke through into hell.” Mrs. Meekton Was Ready. “Henrietta,” said Mr. Meekton, “did you hear that lecture in which it was stated that the fact that Adam arrived on earth before Eve indicated that men should assume a certain precedence over women?” “I did,” was the somewhat icy reply. “Isn’t it absurd? It simply shows that Adam was expected to get the garden in shape for Eve’s comfort, just. as the modern man gets up in the morning and eghts the fire.’-Washington Stor velope the ‘lands, and the plans of | | Wonderful Accomplishment to Which | ing chimpanzee would make an excel- ‘| Tent living, even though, like many | ed a machine which takes herrings as nor state or municipal appropriatjons.

Some light is thrown on the possi- bilities of memory culture by an inter- esting recital contained in the auto- biography of Robert Houdin, the famous conjurer. He taught his son to glance at, say, a shop window and to memorize accurately, as in a brain | picture, the window’s contents, Then he would ask him to describe the con- tents, checking and correcting him as he went on. On one occasion Houdin was commanded to the Tuileries to give a performance before the French court. As he passed through an ante- room to the salon he bade his son to’; note the arrangement of the rooms and the contents of the bookcases. Then at the close of the entertain- ment Houdin astonished his audience by giving what he called a “second- sight” test. Declaring his unfamil- larity with the Tuilleries, Houdin, blindfolding his son, asked him to send his gaze through the well of the | room to the chamber beyond, to de- scribe the arrangement of the cham- ber and to read. the titles of the vol- umes on the shelves cf the bookcases, This feat the young lad accomplished, to the astonishment of the court. MUST’ HAVE BEEN A SHOCK. Remarkable Effect of Change of Newspaper Headlines. Capt. Edgar S. Dow of New Haven, to whom was given the honor of pilot- ing President Roosevelt’s yacht into New Haven harbor on his visit to Connecticut’s metropclis last fall, is an entertaining old salt, who can al- ways go a story-teller one better. Ap propos of the humorous mistakes that printers make, the captain lately told the following of his own observation: “Years ago,” he deciared, “I used to take a New York paper that printed its shipping news on the same page with the obituaries. You can imagine the shock it gave me one morning to find the captions exchanged, and a long list of respectable names printed under the marine heading, “Passed Through Hell Gate Yesterday.” _ A Promising Chimpanzee. A chimpanzee taken to England lately from the United States is said to be on the point of talking. It al- ready makes guttural sounds which its attendants can understand. But a dog can do as much as that. When it was shown at the Buffalo exposition a German doctor who had to do with deaf-mutes said that a slight operation upon one of the ligaments of the tongue would enabie the animal to speak. At that time the chimpanzee was under contract. But it will prob- ably now be taken to Germany for the operation. It can even now use a type writer and play the piano. But these professions are overcrowded. A talk- other talkers, it said nothing worth ‘hearing. Turned On the Light. The man Calve is reported to have selected for her first husband and see ond: love is Jules Bois, an interesting writer on occult topics. His one-act play, “The Devil in Darkness,” was given only one performance at Mont- martre. It was played in total dark- ness, voices of different timbre speak- ing solemnly a dialogue that quite transcended in mystic realism any- thing Parishad ever heard before. Unluckily for Bois, some envious rival bribed the gas man to turn on the lights in the middle of the act, and a half-dozen commonplace Montmartre singers of both sexes were discovered sitting on wooden chairs, all of them grinning over the misadventure. Af- ter that Jules Bois gave up the stage in despair. The trishm.n and the Sun. An Irishman who had just landed in New York from his home in Ireland was strolling around the city, taking in the sights. In the course of his walk he came across B.ttery park, and seeing a bench unoccupied near the water front, sat down. It was just about sunset when the Celt took his seat in the park snd as he gazed across the water at Governor's island the big guns at that place boomed, announcing sunset. Now, this noise was nev to tke Irishman, and he said to a pohceman who was passing by: “Phat’s thot noise fur?” “Aw, it's the sun goin’ down,” r plied the officer. “Begobs.” remarked the Celt, the sun nivir went down thot hard in fre- land.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. Herring Cleaned by Machine. Very clever is a Swedish inventor named Ekenberg, who has construct- they come from the net, sorts them into the four sizes recognized by the ‘trade, scrapes off their scales, cuts off their heads, splits, cleans and washes them inside and out. The machine does all this automatically,’ and turns out 20,000 herrings per hour. One of the big floating herring factories which go out from Goteberg to the herring banks is to be equipped with this astonishing apparatus, which ought to effect a revolution in the price of bloaters. American Generosity. Under the title, “Gifts and Be quests,” Appleton’s Annual Cyclopedia enumerates gifts and bequests for public purposes which were made, be- came operative or were completed in the United States to the amount of more’ than $85,000,000. This list does not include amounts less than $5,000 nor denominational contributions for educational or benevolent purposes, Off His Beat. The recent civil service examination brings to, mind an amusing .s'| which was told in connection with one of the earliest examinations for policemen, says the New York Times, The question asked by the examining commission wes: “How many miles to the moon?” Pat, a lusty son of old Rrin, whose right to a place on the force had never before been disputed, answered: “I, don’t know how many mileg it is, but I know that it is far enough away to be outside my beat, even when it’s full.” Good Guessers. It is quite remarkable that not less than six persons guessed the exact number of votes cast at the recent | ; election in Kansas, and riore than half @ dozen came within one vote of ap proximating the actual ballot. The true figures—287,168—were pot what are called round numbers, and it seems little less than marvelous that they should have been foretold, with- out any data excepting the returns of previous. elections.—Kansas_ City (Mo.) Star. Pierpont Morgan's Straight Tale Pierpont was besieged by a group of newspapermen in Wash- ington one day last week. They wanted to get his opinions on some of the problems confronting ‘Wall street. “Gentlemen,” said the multi- millionaire, “your business is to get news and print it; mine is to do things if I can. Now, suppose I gave you winners and I the loser, and you would think me a dunce for letting you win Good day, gentlemen.” —_— Jay Cooke as a Farmer. | Jay Cooke, the veteran financier, twns several farms, and it is his pride to set before his guests at Ogonta food that he raises himself.
