During the second inn- ing Hibbing got a man to third, and things were exciting for a few min- » but perfect fielding and a atrike-out by Brownlee retired the side. In this inning with two meu out, Peterson got a single and Short- man followed suit. Both managed to pilfer successtully and a single by Brownlee brought both home, Tae next two up struck out. In the thira Hibbing got men on second and third, but the slab work of Brownlee again put the Indian sign on them and they failed to score. The Grays ran in two more tallies in this inning. Block was fir rst up and got to first on a wild row by the third baseman. La Freniere smashed out a two base hit, advancing Block to third and both scored on a single by Metzger. The t was caught out attempting to D and the next two up were also put out. In the fourth Hibbing again men on first and second, but wnlee remained an enigma to 1em and nobody scored. Booth, who went on the slab for Hibbing during the third inning, seemed to have tak- the measure of the Grays, for in tl inning, the first two up struck ut and the third knocked an infield to third. There was nothing doing for Grand Rapids this inning. In the f the first man up was caught out on a fowl by Metzger. The next man connected with a single, while the third batter got transportation to first. The next man got a single, ng in a score. Two strike-outs followed in rapid succession, retir- ing the side. Grand Rapids was blank- ed again this inning. In the sixth good team work again kept Hibbing from scoring and the Grays fared no better, they failing to get their name on the score sheet. Romans distin- shed himself by hooking in two rapers and a strike-out by Br ownlee left the score unchanged. Whe Hibbing twirler brought up his pitching average in this inning by ing three men. It had now grown » dark for good playing and in the eighth a trick of the Hibbing jboys allowing themselves to get hit pitched balls filled the bases and sger by Williams brought iz The next two men ur ced, forcing in another run, which ld have tiled the score, but the game was called on account of dark- ness and, according to rules, the to- tals at the end of the preceeding inn- ing were counted, which was 4 to 1 in Grand Rapids’ favor. Following is the score,by innings: Grand Rapids..0 2 2 0 0 0 0—4 Hibbing........ 0000100—1 Batteries: Brownlee and Peterson; Jensen, Booth and Carroll. One of the pluckiest and nerviest plays ever made on a base pall dia- mond was made ‘by Brownlee at the beginning of the third inning. Booth batted a pitched ball with such force that it struck Brownlee in the pit of the stomach, laying him out. He arose, however, and threw the ball to first putting out the runner and again fell over., It was some minutes _be- fore he could get on his feet, but Pitched the balance of the game, do- ing good work, Evening’s Amusements Wednesday evening was properly called Confetti night, as the barrels ‘ef it that was thrown around will y and all engaged in the pastime seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. A large number of the young people spent the evening at Village ~ hall where dancing was indulged in. Roecker’s orchestra furnished music and the merry throng had a joyous time. Hub and Hub Race Thursday, like the preceding day, could not have been improved on and the first race slated in the day’s sports was the hub and hub race. Grand Rapids and Park Rapids tied for 1st place, making the time in 24 seconds, flat, while Akeley was next with 25 1-5 seconds. The two first named teams decided to run off the tie and Grand Rapids took first mon- ey, $35, making the time in 21 4-5. Park Rapids took second money, $25, the time being 22 seconds, flat. The former state record was 22 sec- ends, which was held by Eveleth, and Grand Rapids now holds the state re- eord, as well as the association r& eord. Association Hook and Ladder Service Test The following are the results in fm this contest: Park Rapids, first, 32 3-5, $35; Akeley, second, 34, $25; @oleraine, third, 34 1-5, $15. Novelty Hose Race Te the novelty hose race, Park Rap- and ids again won first money. Following are tne results: Park Rapids, first, 52 8-5, $385; Akeley, second, 58 4-5, $25; Grand Rapids, third, 59, $15. Coupling Contest Lotberg, Grand Rapids, first, 3 4-5, $15; Vogtman, Park Rapids, and Berg- enson, Akeley, tied for second and third places, $7.50, each. In the coupling contest, the former association record was 4 2-5 seconds, but as Lofberg made it in 3 4-5 sec- onds, he now holds the association record. Coleraine Was Loaded. Sad, but true, Coleraine slipped one over on us Thursday afternoon, the score being 9 to 5. Holmes, who was first up for Coleraine, was caught out on a fowl by Metzger, but Conlin scored on a home run. There were no more made this inning by the visi- tors. Not to be outdone, the Grays registered up two runs this inning. Kentfield was first up and got to first on a single. Blazing sent a grounder to second and was caught out at first. Phelps got in the way of the ball and walked to first. La Freniere also got to first on the shortstop’s error. Metz- ger was also hit by a pitched ball, ut in the meantime Kentfield scor- ed and Phelps came home ona single by Romans. The next two up struck out, retiring the side. Coleraine scored two runs in the second inning, wild throws being responsible for both scores. Grand Rapids again scored this inning, Blazing, who got trans- portation to first, stealing home. In the third, Coleraine pounded Stowe rather heavy and brought in two more runs before the side was retired. Grand Rapids was blanked this inn- ing. At the beginning of the fourth inning, Brownlee relieved Stowe on the mound and the visitors failed to reach first.Grand Rapids fared no better. In the fifth, iz was cue, two, three and out for Coleraine, but the Grays scored another run on La Freniere’s steal home. Things were very quiet in the sixth, neither team scoring, but in the seventh Coleraine hit Brownlee on account of his not having fully recovered from the ball received in the stomach Wednesday evening and with the bases filled, La Beau slammed out a three-bagger, scoring all three runners. Nelson landed on a single, scoring La Beau and Block then took Brownlee’s place retiring the side without further damage. Grand Rapids got men to second and third this inning, but fail- ed to score. Neither team reached first in the eighth and Coleraine was blanked in the ninth. Grand Rapids made strenuous efforts to retrieve her fallen fortunes this inning, but only succeeded in scoring one run. The Coleraine team was accompan- ied by a large crowd of rooters and considerable money changed hands on the results of the game. Follow- ing is the score by innings: Grand Rapids..2 100100 0 1—5 Coleraine...... 12200040 0—9 Batteries: Stowe, Brownlee, Block and Peterson; Koehler and Nelson. Umpires: Zimmers and Goodwin. Combination Hook and Ladder and Hose Race Friday, like the preceding days, dawned bright and clear and at an early hour people were lined along the track impatiently waiting for the races to begin. The combination hook and ladder and hose race was the first on the program and the fast Park Rapids team captured the hon- ors. Following is the results and time made: Park Rapids, first, 25 4-5, $35; Grand Rapids, second, 27, $25; Coleraine, third, 27 2-5, $15. 100 Yard Dash In the 100 yard dash, Coleraine cap- tured first honors, White, of that place, making the distance in 10*2-5. Pierce, of Park Rapids, took second money, while Lofberg, of Grand Rap- ids, came in third. Wet Test In a majority of the races the time made at Cass Lake last year was low ered considerably, but in the wet test the time made was very poor, owing to time lost in turning on water. Fol- lowing is the time made: Grand Rap- ids, first 36 3-5, $35; Park Rapids, second, 37 2-5, $25; Coleraine, third, 40 2-5, $15. This concluded the program of as- sociation races and contests and the crowd then wandered to Southside park to witness Cloquet administer a drubbing to Grand Rapids. Where We Lose Again The Cloquet team gave the Grays their second defeat of the season Fri- day to the tune of 10 to 2. Kentfield ‘was first up and got transportation to first. Blazing rolled a grounder to ithe pitcher and he was thrown out at first, but advanced Kentfield to second. Phelps reached first on the first baseman’s error and Kentfield pilfered third. LaFreniere connected with a sky scraper which was hooked by the right fielder, but Kentfield took advantage of the opportunity to score. Metzger struck out, which re- tired the side. The visitors easily found Block, who was on the mound the first inning and pounded him for four runs. The first two batsmen fail- ed to get within hailing distance of first, but the next man up said good “good morning” on the shortstop’s ergor.

Sandstrom then pouuded out a two-bagger, bringing in three runs and a single by Bogenuar brought in two more scores. Carlson Was caught out on an infleld fly by the second baseman, which retired tbe side. At the beginning of the second inning Block’s place on the mound was taken by Stowe, while the former took Romans’ place in center field. Grand Rapids failed to score this inning, but Cloquet scored another run. Bonneville got to first on an error by, the shortstop. Loi was caught out at first, while Carl- son sent a fly out in the gardens which was caught by the center fiele | er. Buskala landed for a single, scor- ing Bonneville, but was caught out attempting to pilfer second, which retired the side. In the third inning it was one, two, three and out for Grand Rapids, while Cloquet fared no better. The latter succeeded in get- ting a man to third, but good fieldi saved a run. During the fourth, Grand Rapids had a chance to score, but threw jit away and no runs were recorded. Stowe did good work in this inning, fanning three batters in rapid succession. In the fifth, Grand Rapids failed to reach first, but the honors were evenly distributed this inning, Cloquet also being blanked. In the sixth and seventh it’ was the same old story, neither side scoring, but in the eight, Blazing got to first on account of the catcher muffing the; ball. Phelps vas caught out by the right fielder, while La Freniere got to first on the first baseman’s error, but got in a hole between first and second and was put out. Metzger got a safety and scored Blazing, but a grounder by Block, which was grab- bed by the pitcher, was the cause of his undoing and retired the side. Clo quet gauged Stowe’s measure in this inning and when the batfest was con- cluded, the visitors had rolled up five scores, errors being responsible for two. In the ninth Grand Rapids fai!- ed to cause the scorer any unusual de- gree of activity and the game ended 10 to 2 in Cloquet’s favor. Following is teh score by innings: Grand Rapids..1 0000001 0—2 Cloquet........ 4100005 x10 Batteries: Block, Stowe and Peter- son; Bonneville and Loisel. Rain Cooled Things Of Just as the ball game was finished, a heavy rain, accompanied by a sharp electrical display, sent the people to hastily seeking places of shelter, but ‘the sky soon cleared and the jollifi- cations continued unabatted. Some of the firemen rigged themselves in clown and other laughable character costumes and merriment and good fellowship reigned supreme the bal- lance of the evening. Coleraine Made Good Sho *in3. The Coleraine department, which only: joined the association a short time ago, made a good showing for a green bunch and if Capt. La Beau had a week longer to drill them they would have had some of the older! departments gasping for breath. The Coleraine team took second money in the ladder climbing contest, third in association hook and ladder and service test, third in combination hook and ladder and hose race, first in 100 yard dash and third in the wet test. Tournament Next Year At Akeley. ) At a meeting of the departments beid Loursday evening. Akeley put in a bid for next year’s tournament and they will be given the honor of entertaining the members of the as- sociation next June. It is probable that Coleraine will secure the 1912 tournament, Intervievs With Cavtains The visiting departments were well satisfied with the entertainment pro- vided and the decisions as given by tha judges and all are looking for-j| | ward to the time when Grand Rapids will again entertain them. A Herald-} - Review representativ, who circulated amongst the firemen Friday evening heard the following expressions of opinion: Catp. Funck, Cass Lake: “Well, we 'are glad the tournament is over with, as we have had four strenuous days, and although tired out, we have en- joyed every minute of our stay in Grand Rapids. We didn’t capture many prizes, but we feel just as hap- py as if we had and are going to surprise you fellows next year.” Capt. La Beau, Coleraine: n’S expect th win any prizes, as the boys have never before taken part in tournament contests, and we are well pleased over the showing made. The team only had a week’s practice and came over more to get a line on things than for any other reason. Next year, with more practice and more confidence, we expct to make the other teams look to their laurels You know, Coleraine.will.celebrate.th Fourth this year and is putting on some substantial prizes for firemen’s races. We would be delighted to have the Grand Rapids team take part.” Capt. “Grand Anderson, Akeley: Rapids certainly showed the visiting | firemen a good time, alright, but just those who come, that they will be royally entertained.” Capt. Wright, Park Rapids: ‘“Con- sidering the fact the Park Rapids team practiced little, I think we made} a good showing. Of course, as you know, there has always been a great deal of good natured rivalry between Park Rapids and Grand Rapids, but) when we couldn’t win the champion- ship banner, we were well pleased that Grand Rapids secured it. Yes,| the tournament was a success in every particular and Grand Rapids can easily lay claim to being most hospitable city on the range. We certainly enjoyed ourselves.” Capt. Wright is entirely too modest According to members of the Park | Rapids team, Mr. Wright is entirely to the major share of credit for the victories won and they unite in stat-; ing he is an all-around good fellow and all honors secured by the team are due to his untiring efforts. Capt. George Meyers, Grand Rap- ids: “Yes, we captured our share of prizes, but with the team we had, we should have had more. Of course mistakes are bound to happen and did with us, but if we had put in the the required amount of practice, our team would have won first place in! everything with the exception of the 100 yard dash. The visiting teams were composed of a fine bunch of fel- lows and we certainly enjoyed their stay with us. Grand Rapids certainly had a fine bunch of runners this year “We did-! tha | unteer Fire department running team: George Meyers, capt., Jos. Cloutier, Allen Doran, Tom Erskine, Wm. Fraser, Henry Graffam, Ed. Herschbach, Lester Lofberg, Wm. McAlpine, Howard McLachlan, Ed- win Murphy, Stewart McLachlan, Al- bert Wellein, Ralph Marr, Will Marr and Miller Williams. New Officers Elected The following were elected to guide the destinies of the association for the ensuing year: Bert Rodman, pres- ident, Akeley; Alfred Peterson, of Coleraine, and Curtis Wright, of Park Rapids, vice-presidents; R. F. Pray, secretary, Akeley; Walter Luff, treas- urer, Akeley. Committees Worked Hard The success of the sixteenth annual tournament of the Northern Minne- sota Firemen’s Tournament associa- tion was due to the untiring efforts of the committees in charge of the |various departments and the cordial co-operation of the business men and citizens at large. Grand Rapids has pitality and the residents of the vil- lage nobly sustained it during the tournament. The soliciting committee deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the tourney and that they did their | work well is shown by the fact that over $850 was subscribed in the space ‘of a few days. This committee was composed of Wm. McAlpine, Allen Doran and Lester Lofberg. The advertising committee, consist- jing of H. D. Powers, E. A. Kremer |and James D. Doran did their work well and there were very few in this section of the state that were una- ware of the firemen’s tourmnaent at {Grand Rapids. In this connection we jalso wish to state that the newspa- | pers were a great factor in bringing ;people to Grand Rapids. The local ipapers devoted a large amount of space in boosting it and the Deer | River News, Bovey Iron News and Coleraine Optic also devoted consider jable space. A number of papers out- | side the county also took up the cud-! gel for Grand Rapids and the firemen,| all of which is much appreciated by the association and local fire depart- | ment. One of the most important com- mittees was the hotel committee, jwhich consisted of John Costello, (George F. Kremer and Wm. \McAl- pine. The matter of securing ggleep- ing accommodations for all s no easw matter, yet all visitors were enabled: to obtain lodging. Beds and bedding were kindly loaned to the committee by W. A. Everton, of Deer River, and C. H. Marr’s vacant build- ing and the Mrs. Lent building, form- erly occupied by the Grill, were used jto house visiting fire department teams. Mr. Everton’s neighborly act will not soon be forgotten. The hardest working committee was the. committee on decorations and running track, which consisted of Hugh PicHwen, E. A. LeFebre and A. L. LaFreniere. This committee ere@ted agld covered the arches at the principal business points and also supervised the work of making a suitable track on Leland avenue. In order that it should be in the best always enjoyed a reputation for hos-! the steam roller was put on the road with the result it was in the best of condition. The signs which adorned the arches were the work of M. A. Halvorson and were very neat pieces of work. ' The act of the water and light com- misison in furnishing the electric dec- orations was much appreciated as was also the work of Supt A. ‘Garris, who directed the w of |the arches. Last, but not least ,is the commit- tee on sports. This eommittee was composed of C. E Huson, Lester Lof- berg and Miller Williams and that no detail that would add to the suc- cess of the tourney was overlooked was attested by the fact that there was something doing all the time. President H. D. Powers, Secretary James D. Doran and Chief Riddell are also entitled to their share of praise for the success of the tourna- | ment. They worked unceasingly to see that nothing was left undone that would make the tourney the best eve yand much credit for its success is due to their energy and untiring ef- forts. , Only One Accident The only accident recorded during the tournament happened to Wilder Motor Co.’s automobile Friday even- ing while coming down Third street on the return trip from Cohasset. It seems that a fake alarm was turned in and some of the visiting firemen, who were at the fire hall, immediate- ly rushed to the supposed scene of the conflagration with a hose cart. When they learned they were stung, they turned back, but left the cart on the street. The many lights along Third street blinded the driver, so jhe claims, and he collided with the cart. No damage was done him or the passengers, but the front lights and fenders were smashed. The damage to the car amounted to about $200. No Place For Grafters The police force are also entitled to congratulations on the fact that no disturbances or robberies of any {nature occured to mar the enjoy- ment. As is natural, a gang of graft- ers came to town, but they were im- never to be forgotten and in behalf of the Akeley Volunteer Fire Depart- ment association. I wish to assure keep your eye on Akeley. We propose to make next year’s tournament one mediately rounded up and taken be- fore Judge Bailey where they were given the alternative of leaving town or languishing in the county bastile. All chose the former course. One suspicious character who was taken before the judge was given fifteen minutes in which to leave town, but told his honor that five would be sufficient. Hiboing Autos Here A large number drove from Hib- ping in automobiles Wednesday even- ing to witness the base ball game be- tween Hibbing an Grand Rapids. They reported the roads dusty but in excellent condition. Many Hibbing people who expected to attend were disappointed. It was thought and generally understood that the “Gray Goose” would run from Hibbing on that day instead of from Kelly Lake, shape, loads of cinders were hauled and that we lowered the state record for a plain hub and hub race {is am- ple evidence they are fast.” ‘on it and dumped.’ When this ‘was completed they were well soaked with ‘but the officials ordained that this would not be and accordingly about 250 Hibbingites were compelled to Following is the Grand Rapids Vol-| water from nearby hydrants and then |remain home. —}—.
