A WARM BALL GAME Beckfelt’s ‘Pioneers’? beat the court house ‘‘Champs” in one of the best games of the season at South Side park last Sunday morning Filled with plenty of fast playing and| coupled with such a careful umpire as Doctor Costello the real fans that! witnessed the game had plenty of | chance to exercise their lungs to, their utmost capacity. Cloutier did the Chamrs at his mercy at all} times; But once were they at all | dangerous when in the fifth on a} double, two singles and an error by | Hirschback and Seamans of the | Pioneers, netted the Champs three; | longest bit of the game resulted. The q but the fates ruled otherwise. The few hits the Pioneers got were bunch- ed in the fifth and ninth innings and they were coupled with errors. Clearly the feature of the game was the work of Fred, hailing from the county bastile force, whose clever flelding, timely hitting and fast base running meant much for the Champs; he is scnedaled for professional com- pany soon. : They say the Pioneer management bougbt the Doctor with one of Becks felt’s stogies. Ask McGowan or Kre- mer. Romans struck out 16 Pioneers and should have wou his game but luck was against him. McMahan at short, and Huss in right for the Champs and Cvuoper on second for the Pioneers all did them- selves proud. Jess did his share of good work getting aclean single making the best catch of the game. In the fifth after Doctor called two strikes on McGowan the crowd yelled for Cloutier to toss one to him. The Frog tossed no more to that big Irishman. Lovbrop and Seaman said Art was throwing peas when they came to bat, but neither of those Pioneers reached the Huntiey sack. Why did the Dudley Boy and Hirchback dispute Doctor's decisions. Why didn’t that old ex-leaguer who handles the county cash come to bat? The Champsare trying to negotiate a game with the Bemidji court house team while the Pioneers would again like to meet the Champs and alsoj hear from Hughes team. Altho sever- al challenges have been handed them there seem to be nothing doing this year in the nationa) sport line. DAIRY - FOOD COMMISION BUSY The real valve of the law passed by the legislature of 1905, giving the State Food and Dairy Commission authority to seize shipments of food products into the state, has never been better exemplified than just recently.. An inspector of this depar- ment tied upashipment of goods from Hitchcock, Hill & Company, Chicago, Ill, and submitted samples to the labratory. Out of 82samples of different products taken from one shipment only two complied with the pure food laws. Every one of the 80 packages were short weight, thus clearly demonstrating that the fraud was not accidently accomplished. Complaint was entered against the agent of Hitchock, Hill & Company and, upon pleading guilty he was fined $50 and costs amounting to $86. 24 This 1s the kind of work that counts} and a few prosecutions and increasing fires will put better goods and full weight packages on the market.

A few arrests and heavy fines is the best of remedies. peice ioe 2 AT abig meeting of the liquor interests of the state held at St. Paul the first of the week it was decided tomake Minnesota a Sunday state and the association contemplates the closing on Sunday of every cigar store, billard and pool room, theater, confectionery, drugstore, pavilion and amusement. The crusade may be extended even to street cars. Minnesota has Sunday laws and a strict interpretation of them, it is declared, can be made to include everything of a commercial or amuse- ment character. Let the good work goon and ifour jawsare govd en- force them, otherwise take them off the statute books. SE ela ik NS HENRY WATERSON says John A.
