WON BY WILLMAR.

Perhaps the most interesting game
played this season was that of last
Friday, played at Litchfeld. It was
the fourth one of the series, and was
closely contested throughout. Both
teams did excellent playing, as the
score at the close of the nine innings
stood to 1. This made it necess ary
to prolong the game by additional
innings. Two more were played and
the honors were still even. Another
inning was started, with our boys at
the bat, and but for the lateness of
the evening, it would have been at
least twelve-inning game. A pro-
test was made by the Litchfeld club
against carrying on the game any
longer, the boys in the field claiming
that it was too dark to see the balls,
and therefore did not feel justified in
playing under such conditions. This
was after three runs had been brought
in by our boys, and Litchfeld's s action
naturally caused some feeling of dis
satisfaction. 1t seemed too bad that
such a well-started game should term
mate as it did, for there was anything
but harmony when the decision was
made that finally closed the game.
The umpires were Evans of Litchfeld
and Tallman of Willmar, the latter
serving under protest. The game was
decided by Tallman in favor of our
club with the customary decision in
such cases-9 to 0. This was thought
to be fair ruling, but Litchfeld took
exceptions to such an unfair (?) de-
cision and abided by the decision of
their man, who wished to call it tie.
Many points were brought up as to
which side was right, and what a
squabbling there was.
And thus the game stood, so there
is little satisfaction for the large mum
ber who turned out to witness it. 1t
is perhaps best to let the game drop
| out of the series as a tie, and in that
event it will be followed by another to
be played on the new Willmar grounds
some time during the fore part of Sep.
tember. We would ask Litch6eld and
| Wil]mar to shake hands and favor us
with a couple of more games this sea.
! son. The mines are we'll matched
and lovers of the game are anxiously
| waiting to see who will carry off the
pennant.
It is reported that over 600 people
witnessed the game, the gate receipts
being in the neighborhood of $85. The
business houses were closed, the banc
turned out to furnish music, and >the
mayor was present at the grounds tc
make a short dedication speech. Thus
the new base ball park at Litchfel6
was dedicated. Our boys hope Will
mar will do as we'll when her ball park
is opened.

the LOCAL Y. NJ. c. A.
It is Expected that the Organization
will Develop New Strength and
Gain During the Coming

The local organization of the Young
Mems Christian Association of this
| city, which maintains the rooms in
the second floor of the Gilger block
as free reading rooms, bath room, ETC..
recently finished the first year of its
existence. While the work accom-
plished during the year has perhaps
fallen short of what a number of the
members had expected and many dis.
appointments and shortcomings might
be enumerated, nevertheless we believe
some good has been accomplished by
the struggling organization, and those
who have assisted it by word or deed
have no just cause for regret.
The loyal members of the organiza-
tion look forward to the new year with
renewed hope and determination to
improve the opportunities and widen
the sphere of usefulness of the asso-
citation, and to make it worthy of the
cause it represents. They should have
the undivided support of the good
citizens of the city in their unselfish
labors. The Y. M. G. A. work fur
nishes a common ground where the
members of the different churches may
meet and unite their efforts in accom-.
plishing good work towards the moral
Improvement of the population of the
village. especially the younger por-
tion of the same.
A meeting will be held at the rooms
on Thursday evening Of this week, at
which will take place what might be
termed re-org anization for the next
years work. All who are interested
in the welfare of the association will
be welcome to be present. Plans will
be discussed for placing the associa.
tion on a better footing for accom-
plishing its purposes.
The state secretary will spend some
time with the local organization early
in the autumn months. It is planned
to hold a Y. M. c.. A. Sunday at that
time, when the work Of the associa.
tion will be discussed in the churches
which are willing to join and union
meeting will be held in the evening
Meanwhile there will be made a deter.
mined effort to relieve the organiza
tlon OF all financial embarrassment.
