The sixteenth annual tournament is now on in full swing and fire lad- dies representing the departments from the various towns are having the time of their lives. Nearly every business establishment in the village has been decorated for the occasion and everything has a holiday look.

Although the large crowd has| more than taxed the capacity of the hotels, sleeping accomodations ‘iavel been provided for all. The building! formerly occupied by the Grill res-| taurant has been filled with beds and} C. H. Marr's vacant store building! has _ also.been.filled. The.Park Rapids,| Akeley and Walkre. teams arrived on| the early Tuesday morning train and the Cass Lalke team arrived on the afternoon train, while the Cole- raine team came in on the “Gray Goose” and were accompanied by the Coleraine band. On their arrival here they united with the Grand Rapids band and presented a very imposing array. The first event on the program of sports and races was the ball game yesterday between Grand Rapids and Cass Lake, Grand Rapids winning Joy a score of 5 to 4. It was one of ithe best games of the season and the crowd went wild with excitement. The following is the story of the game: Cass Lake was first up, Reed got transportation to first. The next ‘two up failed to get acquainted with first, but Nason lined out a two-bag- ger, scoring Reed. The next man up was struck out. It was one, two, three and out for Grand Rapids. In the second it was the same for Cass Lake, but the Grays made business pick up by scoring two.runs.on Short- man’s drive, the latter being caught out attempting to steal second. In the third and fourth innings both teams being blanked, but in the fifth Cass Lake again took the lead by tallying two runs through errors.

In the sixth both sides were shut out and Cass Lake failed to get a man to first im the seventh, put Grand Rapids again tipped the team in her favor in this inning by registering up two more rums. Neither team scored in the eighth, but in the ninth Cass Lake secured another run, making the score 4 and 4.

Yes, it was a massacre, and it’s a fact, Grand Rapids won from Bovey by a large majority, 28 to 8. This is how it all happened; Grand Rapids was to bat and Lofberg struck out. Reerdon landed for a two pase hit, while Duffy landed a pop-up to the third baseman. Kentfield landed for a single scoring Reerdon. Metzger landed a fly to the second baseman and Kentfield was also caught out. Bovey surely thought she “had ’em goin’, goin’ kid” in this inning, as they rung the bell for four scores before the Grays could persuade them to quit. In the second inning Grand Rapids scored a home run on a four base hit and it was a base hit, too, Romans landing on the ball, driving it out to first, but it collided with Metzger's head and bounded over the fence, the umpires giving Romans a clean home mn on it. That was the only score nade during this inning, the Bovey lads being blanked. During the third inning, the Grays hit the register for three runs and it was feared for a time they would demolish the ball; but sane~ counsel prevailed and they finally decided to wait until the seventh and ninth inn- ings, In the third, Bovey scored up another tally and the score was then 5 and 5. Some exciting? Well I guess. In the fourth there was nothing doing for Grand Rapids and the same for Bovey, but in the fifth the Grays rang the bell for two more scores and Bovey again blanked. In the sixth, the Bovey twirler al- lowed two men to walk and a hit and two errors enabled the Grays to lregister two more runs. Bovey got another run this inning. In the seventh there was no use talkin’ to those boys from the Rap- ids at all and, although Manager Rannfranz talked to them with tears in his eyes and dust in his throat, ‘there was nothing doing, they would insist on knockin’ the “kiver” off that ball and when the excitement subsided, they had seven more scores. Bovey was blanked again. Things quitted down in the eighth and the Grays out of sympathy, only pounded the Bovey boy for two runs, but when the Bovey lads went to bat they again harden their hearts and wouldn’t even give them one run. Mean, of them, wasn’t it? But ‘we haven’t told it all and our BOVEY MASSACRE!

From all tappearances it will do all that its makers claim for it. There are eight Troy dump icars, with a capacity of three cubic yards each, and this jchain of cars, attached to the en- gine, presents an imposing appear- ance when in motion. With this equip ment the town of Grand Rapids is in thé best of.shape to.establish a record in the road making industry that her sister towns will do well to emulate. Attended Firemen’s Convention. Lester Lofberg returned from Alex- andria Thursday, where he went as a delegate from Grand Rapids Volun- teer Fire department to the state as- sociation meeting. Lester states the visitors were given the time of their lives and everything possible was done to make their stay an enjoyable one. The delegates were given auto- mobile rides about the city, while boating on Alexandria’s cluster of pretty lakes also formed one of the chief forms of recreation. Brakeman Gale Injured. Harry Gale, brakeman on the Kelly Lake local freight, fell from a box car while spotting a car at the paper mill Monday evening and broke his collar bone where it joins the shoulder. He was taken to the hos- pital and will soon be around again. The young man states he does not know how he happened to fall from the car. “ SOON COMPLETE FOUNDATION Expected Foundation Work for McAlpine Block Will Be Com- pleted Saturday.
