Barker Says Roy and Emerson Will Be the Battery
and Other Good Local Players Will Be Members
of Team.--.Good Games Assured.

Bemidji will have a frst-class
baseball team this season, accord
ing to E. A. Barker, owner of the
local baseball grounds, who states
that every effort will be put forth
to give the citizens of Bemidji the
best exhibitions of the national
game in the history of the city.
John Washburn will be the acting
manager of the team, according to
Mr.. Barker, and already there are
sufficient players on the list to form
strong team. The management
will not be satisfied, however, until
a fast, aggressive bunch" of ball
tossers are secured to represent
Big Bemidg'' on the diamond.
For catcher, the management ex-
poets to have the services of Louis
Roy, the big Chief" who has always
done such good work for Bemidji,
Roy has played in the Northern
league and other strong organiza-
tons, and is heavy, aggressive
player who is at all times in the
game.
Emerson, the Indian "heaver"
who sings them from the port side,
will be engaged as pitcher, and great
things are expected of the red this

Meeting of Presbytery.

The Presbytery of Adams, of
which the Presbyterian congregation
of Bemidji is member, convened
this week at Stephen, MINI.
All the Presbyterian ministers
from the northwestern portion of the
state, together with many laymen
representing their individual con-
gregations, were present.
A departure from the custom in
such bodies resulted in the election
of Mr.. D. K Laurie, a layman, as
moderator Of the Presbytery for
the ensuing six months. This honor
was conferred in the nature of a
recognition for faithfulness and
energy in the work as a Sabbath
school missionary.
Rev. S. E. P. White of Bemidj il
preached the convention sermon,
which is spoken of very highly by
those who heard it.
Rev. F. J. Barackman of Black
duck was chosen as the ministerial
delegate and Major Mix of Crooks
ton was selected as the lay delegate
from this Presbytery to the general
assembly of the Presbyterian con-
ference which will meet in Kansas
City, Mo-, May 21st.
The reports of the past years
work indicated gratifying advances
along all lines of Christian work in
the churches of our Presbytery.
Bemidji was selected as the place
for holding the meeting the coming
fall.

PIONEER IS EMPLOYING
BEST HELP OBTA|NABLE
We Will Give the Work of Our Patrons
the Supervision of Skilled
Printers.

The Pioneer believes in giving
it's patrons the best supervision of
their work that can produced in the
market; and with that end in view
we have added a number of skilled
laboreas to our alrerdy large corps of
artistic printers.
J. Evan Ca arson, we'll known in
this city as a good printer, and who
came in when the town was in
"swaddling cIothes,'' so to speak,
will again be with the Pioueer. Evan
is good all-around hustler and he
is not unknown to Pioneer patrons.
K. L. Rauk, who has been fore
man of the Shevlin Shevlin Herald
since that paper was started a few
weeks ago, is a new recruit with the
Pioneer. Mr.. Rauk is a printer of
ability, and was known as one of
the best Of the gang" over on the
iron range.
With these additions, the Pioneer
has by far the largest and best-paid
corps of assistants in the county.

A. Barker and a local delegation
prompted Albert Barker. Joe De-
Laney of Park Rapids and E. R.
Bell of Akeley acted as escort for
the candidate Bean, who is a candi-
date for sheriff of Hubbard county,
and who can certainly go some."
All three of the candidates
acquitted themselves with honors,
and the members of the lodge voted
them all as being most excellent
timber. And now they are 'laying''
for the next victim.

season. He pitched for Bemidji
some five years ago, and made fine
record. Last season he was with
the Nebraska Indians and travelled
over large part of the U. S., quit
ing the season with an enviable
record. He pitched two games for
Bemidji against Walker, last year,
and he simply toyed with the
Walkerites. He is great form, and
will pitch fine ball this year.
The other players who are avail
able and are known to Bemidji
fans" are the following: Peterson
lib; Riddell, 2b; Beel, 3b; Bush, IS;
Petrie, Collins, Hazen and Carlton,
felders; with A. Otto as pitcher and
general all-around sticker and
fielder. --.-s.
The grounds have been cleaned
and scraped and will be in fine shape
to open the season one week from
Sunday, when it is intended to
have the first local game.
Among other improvements at the
grounds is the placing of screens so
that there will be able protection so
that foul balls will do no damage
and the ball cannot go over the
fence on the west side of the grand
stand.

small vote cast at the election; and
it was the general opinion prior to
the election that the proposition
would be defeated, as many believed
there was not enough land for the
use of the building and desired
grounds.
This is the third bonding PROPOSE
ton that has been submitted to the
voters of the school district, none of
which were carried by the desired
two-thirds majority. The principal
reason for the proposition were
ostensible to provide more room for
the over-crowded schools. What
measure of relief will now be at
tempted is not known.

The Bemidji fire department in
tends sending a running team to
the above tournament, but it is very
probable that attendance at the
tournament would interfere with the
encampment of the state militia to
be held at Lake City. There are a
number of the members of the run
ming team who recently joined the
militia company, and as the com
pany will leave Bemidji on June
18th, it is hardly likely that the boys
could attend the tournament and
be home in ample time to go to the
encampment.
