WE'RE ALL RIGHT.
MANKATO TAKES A GAME FROM
BRAINERD.
1t Took Ten Innings to Decide the
Game, and the Score Finally Stood
Thirteen to Twelve in Favor OF the
Home Team.-A Splendid Game
and Lots of Enthusiasm.

The game of base ball between the
champion teams of southern and
northern Minnesota, Mankato and
Brainerd, resulted IN victory for the
Mankato boys, but victory was torn
almost from the jaws of defeat, for
at the end of the eighth inning the
Brainerd team was two scores ahead.
Then the Mankato team ran in two
scores in the ninth inning, and it re-
quired the tenth inning to decide.
Brainerd made goose egg in the
tenth and the Mankatos made one.
The score stood thirteen to twelve in
favor of the Mankato team when the
game was concluded, at about six
o'clock.
The attendance is estimated at
about 1000, and of these fully 200
were strangers, for Madelia, st.
Peter, LeSueur, Lake Crystal, Winnie
bago City and many other neighbor-
ing towns sent large delegations, so
great was the interest in this game,
and so evenly matched were the two
clubs supposed to be, as shown by the
record of the past few games. The
ST. Peter delegation cheered the
Brainerd club, and more than one of
the St. Peter club bet on the wrong
"hoss." In this their desires got the
better of their judgment.
The Mankato people and the other
visitors were full of enthusiasm for
the Mankato team, which, however,
only contained two or three Mankato
men, which is about the same number
of Brainerd men in the Brainerd
team. 1t was the most enthusiastic
crowd that has been gathered togeth-
cred for long time, and the closest
interest in the game was displayed
throughout. When the final score was
made, ensuring victory to the Mankato
team, their feelings could no longer
be controlled but were given full vent.
A shout went up that could be heard
well OfCI UllC OlUy, anu IhO ldulOo Nlo-
played their patriotism no less en-
phatically than the men, though in
less noisy way. The result of the
game quickly passed along the street
and was everywhere received with
pleasure.
There was a total absence Of I'M
seemly wrangling throughout the
game and the visiting club proved
themselves to be gentlemen in every
respect. The umpires were fair and
the game went along without hitch,
while the best of feeling prevailed.
Errors were made on both sides, but
the game was most excellent, and the
game was probably one of the best
and most exciting ever witnessed in
the city.
The Brainerd team left on this
mornings train for Duluth, where it
has an engagement to play the
Duluth team there. 1t is hoped that
they will visit the city again.
The official score of the game is as
follows:

The Countess of Aberdeen's Remarks.
The closing address of the evening was
delivered by the Countess Of Aberdeen. In
the course Of her remarks she said:
81 thank you most heartily for thus ac-
cepting me as member of your council,
and rejoice in being allowed to take some
part in your proceedings. 1t has indeed
been pleasant to hear tonight this National
Council of Women of the United States ex-
press how strongly they favor this principle
of the settlement of disputes between ma
tons by means of arbitration In further
ance of Peace on earth, good will toward
men,
1.-THE women of bygone days who brood
ed over the terrible scourge of war could
see no way of preventing 1t. They could
only show their heroism by melting their
husbands and brothers and sons to give
themselves to their country, and then to
stay at home and weep and watch for their
return. In later years they learned to min
lister to the wants of the sick and wound
ed. But now we have learned that there Is
a higher patriotism; we have learned, or at
least, we are learning, that what is wrong
for the individual, wrong for the home,
cannot be right for the nation" Further
on the countess said:
Can we not thank God and take courage
on account of what has been done, and
those of us who belong to nations who
claim such close kinship. whose interests
are so closely identified, who have so many
common aims, may we not, in spite of all
difficulties in the way, in spite Of the
memories of old jealousies and old rivalries,
stand shoulder to shoulder in the future
simply for the good Of mankind"

CHARITY MEDICINE.

1t Costs Washington 1925 n Month to
Doctor the Poor.
The physicians to the poor have been
notified to reduce as much as possible the
number and price Of prescriptions given
to the poor, who are unable to pay for
their medicine. This action was found
necessary because of the small amount
of the fund left. Thus far during the
present fiscal year these prescriptions have
cost the District 1925 a month, and the
balance of the fund will not justify the
expenditure of more than S275 month.
Health officer Woodward says that the
number of sick poor this winter was great
er than usual, although the fund ran short
last year. Then, several of the physicians
put up prescriptions without receiving pay
for them
