Undoubtedly, the greatest game of
baseball ever played in northern
Minnesota will be pulled off on
August FL, when the officials of the
city and those who preside over the
destinies of the county will clash for
supremacy on the diamond.
The representatives of the city
and county governments met in a
battle royal last year, and the county
team won by a large majority.
1t is proposed to conduct the
game this year along lines where
latter-day ball players will not have
so decided an advantage, and the
rules of the game which were in
vogue when Wes Wright and J. P.
Pogue Captains respectively of the
county and city teams) were in their
prime and ball champions of their
district, will prevail.
The old ANY bound, free from the
ground, is suggested for an out, also
first bound behind catcher. A
base runner hit by a thrown ball
will be declared out, if he is not first
put out of business by a wicked
shoot. A batter will be allowed
to strike at anything his fancy
chooses, except the umpire, and the
latter official will be empowered to
fine any belligerent kicker, if able to
enforce his ukase.
1t is suggested that Ike Black, the
Scandinavian strong man, officiate
as umpire and that he be furnished
with all armament necessary for
conducting the affair.
The players will be allowed to

the fishing was not what they
expected, the bass exhibiting
temper worse than an old maid and
refusing absolutely to take the hook,
no matter what kind of bait (wet or
dry. was used to tempt them.
Mr.. Walker was taken ill while at
Smiley, hence the curtailment of the
visit at that place. The others of
the party are enjoying visit to
points of interest about Lake Bemidji
and will undoubtedly have an excel
lent time.

A large number of tickets to the
game have been issued and they will
be distributed to the different busi-

private individuals to sell. The
object of the game (the preservation

She knows that the fearless Ike is
absolutely nonchalant as to attempts
to injure his person, and that, any
way, his life insurance policies are
made out with her as beneficiary.
