suggestions for the people of this

week upon visiting Annandale, viii
lage of 900 inhabitants. There are
now several miles of these walks
in the place. Upon inquiry we learn
ed that it was laid by the Plymouth
Paving company, Of Minneapolis, at
81 cents per square yard, (St. Cloud
manufacturers charge 80 cents.) The
village Of Annandale allows the prop
erty owners 35 per cent. of the walk.
This reduced it to 5265 ceuts. St
Clouds council allows Is per cent;
which makes the cost to the citizens
60 cents, or 735 cents more that at
Annandale.
"There is no good reason why our
city should not be equally liberal in
encouraging tile walks. The council
should allow IS per cent of the cost
Let us have tile walks everywhere

Notes On Thursdays Game.

Spooner's one handed stop of hot
liner in the eighth was great work
Paul is playing a great game at sec
ond, having accepted thirty chances
and made but two errors. He is also
batting at good clip.
Jones did some splendid work with
the stick last Thursday. He secured
one hit out of two times at bat, and
made :wo pretty sacrifice hts.
Danielson has done some clever
base running in the last few games
1t was first noticed when he ran
bases for O'Brien in the Wheaton
game. He continued his good work
for Billy at Browns Valley. George
keep cool, swing slower, and you will
do little base running for yourself
Nilsson hung on to some difficult
throws the other day. His work
shows great improvement over his
playing early in the season.
O'Brien's lucky streak has left him
At Browns Valley he scored three
times without making a single hit
Thursday he failed to see first base
Billy hits the ball right along, and
when man does that, safe hits are
bound to come, so look out for the
right fielder in the next game.
The batting of Filix was one OF
the features of the Herman game
He hit for one double and three
singles out of four times at bat. His
batting and catching has strength
ened the team wonderfully. Every
effort should be made to secure his
services in the remaining games.
An effort is being made to have
games arranged with Willmar and
Sank Centre.
The team will probably 60 to Will
mar next Tuesday. The return game
will be played here on next Friday.
The batting of the team as a whole
is very weak. TIE average being
about 200. The individual records
are as follows: Filix, 666; Hill, 600
Spooner, 375; Clarke, 23l; Stewart
2O9; Brown, 2O8; Nilsson, 206; O'Brien
147; Stone, 143; O'Malley, Ill; Gil

The Inter-lake Tribune of Browns
Valley had the following to say about
the game:-
By noon of5the 3rd a fairly good siz d
crowd had gathered, and at 3o'cl ok
the ball game between the Morris
and Graceville clubs was called at
the driving park. To say that it was
fine exhibition of ball playing puts
itmildly indeed, as but few amateur
games in the west are better. Morris
won by score of 4 to l, but the
GracevilIe lads put up game that
any amateur nine should be proud Of
The Morris team played almost an
errorIess game, only one mutfed fly
ball being charged up against the
team during the entire nine innings.
Monte Brown, son of Judge G. L
Brown, who did the pitching for
Morris, when the game was finished
had 16 strike-outs to his credit. He
famed the first f7e mon who went to
bat, and had the others at his mercy
throughout the game. Pitcher Gay
of the Graceville nine also did some
very effctual twirling, striking out Is
men. The stick work of Spooner and
the Indian catcher of the Morris
team and the base running of Red
man. who played short for Graceville,
were prominent features. Spooner
also did some fine infield work in his
position at second. Teen Milton did
the umpiring. The ball game was
the principal attraction of the day on
on the 3rd, the track being entirely
too wet for horse racing.
HERMAN VS.. Morris
The Morris boys played the best
ball seen on the local diamond in
many years when they defeated Her
man last Thursday. No errors we're
chalked up against them, and they
did some good batting and base run
ming. Grounders and liners were
handled with ease; and fir m the be-
ginning of the game until the end,
brilliant stops and accurate throws
were made. Such playing, together
with good pitching, caused the ball
tossers from Herman to look in vain
for a single score.
Herman succeeded in getting men
on bases, but were unable to make
hits at the right time, and consequent
ly, their men died on bases. In the
field they made n.any costly errors
giving pitcher Nelson poor support,
and allowing our boys to win the
game by large margin.

S. Stewart did the handsome thing
for the base ball boys by giving
them SIS run after the game with
