ENJOYABLE Party.

The Juniors Of the City Higl
School gave their annual reception
to the seniors last Saturday evening
in the Odd Fellows hall.
The hall was prettilly decorated
with the colors of the two classes
one end in the senior colors-
gold and brown-and the Other
end in those of the Juniors crimson
and white.
Upon entering, each senior was
given one of the class flowers, the
white rose. Carnations and ferns
were spread in tasteful profusion
about the table.
An excellent program was rem
dercd, after which time sped by
with music and dancing.
A dainty lunch was served in the
dining room of the hall, and at a
quarter to twelve o clock the seniors
gave rousing cheer for the Juniors
and amid unanimous declarations of
having had most enjoyable time,
the guests departed.

OPENING GAME OF SEASON
CASS LAKE WAS DEFEATED
Bemidi Won Yesterdays Baseball Contest Only After
Hard Struggle. Visiting Team Strengthened By Two
Local Players, Stronger than Anticipated.

1t was a chilled but enthusiastic
crowd of rooters" of both genders
that assembled at the downtown
park yesterday and saw Bemidj j
open the baseball season with a
hard-fought victory over the Cass
Lake team, by a score of 8 to 2, the
winning not being made until the
last inning was played and two were
out, at that.
The Fosston team had agreed to
play against the locals, but at the
last moment late Saturday evening
funked" and refused to come over.
Late Sunday forenoon arrangements
were made with the management of
the Cass Lake club to bring over a
bunch" Of players, and although
the boys over there had not played
together this year, they braved the
cold and chance for defeat and went
against Bemidji. The work of the
visiting team, everything considered,
was great surprise to Bemidj ans.
With any kind of luck, Cass Lake
would have won the game. They
earned the two runs which they Sc
cured, while two of Bemidji's runs
were made on errors, after the side
should have been retired.
Cass Lake had Grady on the
mound" and he pitched in mid
season form. big Gene" had a
world of speed and a great variety
of shoots that puzzled Bemidii
batters. He struck out fourteen
men, tanning" every man on the
team, at least once, except the "Old
Hoss" Riddell, who hit every time
he came to bat, getting one clean
two-bagger. The remainder of the
locals were kept guessing all through

course, and as Collins had started
from second the instant the ball was
hit, he tore around the bags and
landed on home plate a foot ahead
of the ball, winning the game. It
was good work on the part of the
center fielder, who played a fine
game all the way.
Manager Washburn tried out
several players yesterday and will
continue to give the men a chance
to make good" AS there are
many players in the city, there is

is also to ditch that big hat.

ton, Brainerd and Wadena, as well
as from the twin cities.
For some time past the Masons of
Bemidji, and those living in this
vicinity, have been agitating the
proposition of securing a command
cry for this city. The matter took
tangable form in the shape of a
former application for a command
cry, with the result that, through the
labors of the Masons in this vicinity,
this city has been designated as the
proper place for a commandery.
The securing of this commandery
is showing considerable honor to
Bemidji as a Masonic center, and
local Masons are considerably
elated over the result of their efforts.
