TWOFROM PROCTOR Rain Interfered Tuesday and Third Game of Series Could Not Be Played. FIFTEEN INNING GAME SUNDAY Grand Rapids Played Errorless Game Both Days, But Was Weak on Base Running—Shut-Out Game Monday. The Grand Rapids Juniors have demonstrated that they can travel in the fastest company in the state and hold their end with any of them. In the series of three games with Proctor, Sunday, Monday and Tues-| day, Grand Rapids won the first two and rain prevented the third, al- though there is little doubt they would have won it. The Proctor team is not to be sneezed at, however, and but for the fact the Grand Rapids boys were better with the stick would have car- ried off Sundhy’s game. Sunday Game. The game Sunday, the first of the series between the Grand Rapids and Proctor Juniors, resulted in a score of 2 to 1 in favor of Grand Rapids after a closely contested game which lasted fifteen innings. The two teams were evenly match- ed with the exception that Grand Rapids was a little better at the stick. Poor coaching, however, re- sulted in the loss of two scores which would otherwise have been brought in. Following is an account of the game by innings: First inning—Murray was firet up for Proctor and it was one, two, three and out. aud were also unable which retired the side to) connect, Lee was first up for Grand Rap-! ids and landed a nice one out to the center garden, which the fielder promptly gathered in. Betz landed first on a single and stole second on the first baseman’s error, but was put out attempting to get home on Erskine’s single. Brandon struck out which retired the side. Second inning—W. Rossetter land- ed on a single and reached first, but was put out on an _ attempted McCabe both struck out which re- tired the side. Whaling smashed out a line drive which was grabbed by the third sack- er and thrown to first, while Mc- Alpine got to first on the initial sacker’s error and was put out at- tempting to steal second. Benton got the first walk, but he, like Mc- Alpine, underestimated the catcher’s wing. Third inning—G. Rossetter was first up and connected with a single. He successfully stole second, but was caught asleep between second Shovien and Reane-' and third. Nelson struck out and E. McCabe got to first on a fielder’s choice, stole second, but was put out at third. Costello’s fowl caused a collision between pitcher and catcher, but Reaneaud held the ball. Powers’ lin- er was picked up by the shortstop and Lee drew a walk but was caught napping St first. Fourth inning—Murray struck out, while Shovien and Reaneaud both batted to Whaling and were thrown out by easy throws to first. Betz landed on a single, but Er- ekine’s fly was caught by the center fielder and Brendon struck out. Whaling’s liner was picked up by the eecond sacker and he was thrown out at first. Fifth inning—Rossetter put a liner to Whaling and Newberg one to Lee, both runners being thrown out at first, McCabe struck out. McAlpine failed to reach first, as his liner was picked up by the pitch- er. while Benton was hit by a pitch- ed ball and got to second on a wild throw. Costello and Powers both struck out and Benton died on third. Sixth inning—Rosgsetter was unable to land the ball outside Whaling’s reach and was thrown out at first. Nelson struck out and McCabe was thrown out at firet by Whaling. Lee and Betz both struck out and Erskine reached first on a single. He successfully stole second, but in attempting to. steal home on Bran- don’s single was put out at the plate. Seventh imning—Murray struck out and Shovien’s grounder was pick- ed up by Whaling and another put- out was registered to Benton’s cred- it. Reaneaud got first by being hit with a pitched ball and stole second. Wiles, who took W. Rossetter’s place, landed for a single which went into right field. The fielder, however, held the ball a little too long after ipicking it from the ground and Re- aneaud stole Home, giving the visit- ors the first run. Newberg, the next man up, batted to third and was thrown out at first. Whaling’s grounder was picked up by the second baseman and he was (Continued on page eight.) Copyright 1909, by C. E.

REMOVE STUMPS WITH DYNAMITE That Is Most Practicable Method as Stumps Are Blown Out of Ground and Broken, Burn- ing the Easier. Every farmer in the timber section who has land to clear should do some, clearing each year. Between seeding and haying is one of the best times to clear. An acre cleared in North- eastern Minnesota is an acre bought and an acre worth from $50 to $75 per acre based upon its productive- ness and the profit that may be real- ized from its. proper cultivation. Cutting Down the Brush. A light double bitted ax and 4 brush scythe are the tools: required for cutting brush. Cut the brush and small trees even with the ground This is important as the land can then be mowed over, which is impos- sible when the stubs are left five or ten inches above the ground as is commonly done. The brush should be piled closely, not thrown together, or it will not burn well. The Down Timber. Old logs and trees should be skidd- ed together with a team and if dry at the time, should be burned same day, as a large pile of logs, half de- cayed, will dry out slowly when rain- ed upon. If the stumps are to be removed at the samme time the brush and down timber is removed, it is well to defer burning the brush and piling the logs till the stumps are out, then pile the stumps on the ‘brush and log piles, and burn ill together. The Burning. To pile everything up in good shape and then start a fire in each pile and go away and leave the burning to! take care of itself is to, oftimes, more than double the work of burning. Burning requires the care and skill of a fireman. A big fire will burn anything and everything but it has {to be kept big by rolling the parts closer together as they burn, by throwing the outside material into the center. By keeping the parts together, it will all burn, and burn easily and quickly; but let the fire once go out with the pile only half or two thirds burned, and it will re- quire twice as much work to burn what remains as if the first fire was carefully tended. In gathering up stumps that have been blasted, it is well to burn them at the same time. Start the fire and pile the stumps on the fire instead of piling all the material before ‘burning. Start three or four fires in different parts of the field, so that the loads will not have to be hauled too far. By burning the ma- terial in small piles and by having three or four fires going at once, the load can be driven up close to the fire and thrown in by hand, piling each successive load on the fire that is most burned out so that the heat will not be too intense to work near it. fa bt Where very large stumps are. to be burned it may be necessary to use a derrick for piling. For description | of derrick see Farmers Institute An-! nual No, 21. Removing Stumps by the Use Dynamite. The chief obstacle and source of of expense in clearing land are the stumps, In number, stumps may run all the way from ten to two hundred per acre and some times higher. The only practical methoda thus far ascovered for removing stumps are the stump puller and the use of dynamite. These two methods are! i i combined, splitting the ;Stump with dynamite and loosening , the dirt, and pulling the pieces out | With the stump puller. Of the two methods, the use of dy- namite exclusively, is now the most (continued on page 4.) +. ELEVENTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT Class of Twenty Will Receive Di- plomas From Grand Rapids High School.
