Messrs. Shelly and Huntington

light effects and costumes form a
back ground for this illustrious

COMPANY KS FOOTBALL
TEAM ELECTS CAPTAIN
Mantor Chosen Leader.-Practicinq
Hard for Grand Rapids Game
Here Sunday.

The Co. K. football team yester-
day morning went through a vigor-
Gus two hours practice at the
grounds, with fifteen men out in
uniform. The team will be seen
every evening this week on the
streets and will get down to good
hard practice, preparatory to the big
game scheduled for next Sunday
with the Grand Rapids city team.
Since the history of the two towns, at
no time has a team representing
Bemid il ever handed a defeat to the
Itasca county football warriors.
Owing to the absence of Captain
Kelley for the remainder of the
season, a new captain was elected.
Gil Mantor, former St. Thomas
College star and for several years
captain and player on the Brainerd
team, wac made captain, the choice
being unanimous. Mantor plays a
backteld position, is, strong and
heady, and will no doubt make a
good leader.
The team that will line up against
the Rapids next Sunday will break
the hoodoo that has always existed,
if there is any possible way to do so.
The men are all in the best of
physical condition, plays have been
perfected, and with good hard
practice all week the militia colors
will fly skyward, no flag shall drape
at half mast, but forty guns shall
shout victorious salute, the enemy
taken into camp, and, according to
Capt. Mantor, 1T will be shame to
rob the bird Of its nest"

According to the usual custom,
Grand Rapids prepared an excellent
banquet for the visitors and the
home team in the school house. The
guests were royalty entertained and
are loud in their praises of the hos
pitality which the Rapids" so
lavishly rendered to them. The
evening was spent in a reception
and dancing in the gymnasium. The
majority of the visiting party
returned home on Saturday nights
train although a few remained until
last night.
It is believed that another game
will be played with Grand Rapids in
the latter part of the season at
Bemidji. Both teams will be in
much better form at that time and a
battle royal is expected.

THE LABORING men ARE
RETURNING FROM WEST
Healthy Local Demand for Men to
Work with the Lumber Com
panies This Fall.

Men are coming to Be midi
from Grand Forks and other parts
of North Dakota, in more numbers
than for some time past, and there is
now a fair supply of laborers to
meet the demand for men from
lumber companies and railroads."
says Mr.. Johnson, manager for the
Blackjack Employment agency of
this city, today.
On Saturday, we sent forty-three
men to Pine Island to work for the
J. A. Irvine Logging company, and
today we are shipping forty men to
Fowlds for the Crookston Lumber
Company. There is a healthy de-
mand for men, and as the threshing
season in the Dakotas was much
shorter than in former years the
men are returning sooner than ex-
pected, with the result that there is
not the shortage that there has
been some years heretofore"
All the local employment bureaus
report substantially the same con-
ditions as the Blackjack Employ
ment agency.

Then to the surprise of everyone,
Brownie Mac collared Coco on the

This unexpected speed shown by
the little brown gelding from Bemidji,
started an uproar in the crowd. In

Ford and 0. F. to contend with,
Prince Hal, 2:O6A, owned by Newly
of Bemidji and driven by Lem
Phelps of St. Paul, won the free-for-
all pace in split heats. All the
heats, with the exception of the last,
were decidedly close, the second,
which was given to Afrite c, being
as near an even finish as anyone
eyer saw. Pat Ford, who was ex-
pected to make a great showing,
acted badly in nearly every heat,
while O. F. was fretful- and refused
to work. Onadonna, the pretty
pacing stallion which Elliot & Rum
quist purchased in Chicago last
winter, made his bow to the local
public yesterday. While the best
he could get was third money,
he paced all the way in every heat
and was always close up at the
finish."

Thomas Newby's string of PAGERS
did we'll at the meeting of the Tri-
State Racing association which was
held at Duluth last Friday and Sat
urday, although Bessie Barolite did
not do as we'll in her race (the Eli
pace) as local horsemen had ex-
pected she would.
Mr.. Newly had Bessie Barolite
and Brownie Mac, and had previ-
ously driven Prince Hal, but for
some reason William Begsley of this
city put up Lem Phelps behind the
Prince. The change in drivers
evidently worked we'll, as Prince Hal
took the bit in his teeth and easily
won the free-for-all.
The Duluth Herald said of the
PIT pace, which was decided on
Friday.
Gypsy Queen, owned by E. J..
Rochon of Winnipeg, Man., had an
easy time winning the 2:17 pace,
which she won in straight heats.
Miss Hartford, owned by Elliott &
Rundquist did not show up as we'll
as her owners had expected.
Bessie Barolite, the Bemidji PAGER,
owned by Newly, made a good
showing in this race, but the track
was too heavy for her. Dan D., was
also fast, but was outfooted nicely
by the winner"

said of the races Saturday:
Hans M fought out the first heat
of the 2:24 pace with Coco. In the
second heat, Bonett, driver of Coco
did some superb teaming on the

WALLOPED BEMIDU 21-O
Game at Grand Rapids Proved Waterloo For Coach
Brights Boys.'' RAPIDS Players We're Heavier,
and Played Faster than Bemidji.

Grand Rapids, Oct. 4.-(Special
to Pioneer) The first game Of foot
ball of this season for the local high
school was played here Saturday
afternoon, when the team represent
ing the Bemidji High School was
defeated by decisive score of Fl to
O.
The game was a good one from
start.to finish, Bemidji stubbornly
contesting every yard, but superior
weight and coaching told their tale
in the final outcome. The local
team outweighed the visitors on an
average of eight pounds to the man
and played together like clockwork.
The Bemidji boys played a good
game individually and well on the
offense but the defense was poor.
The line, especially the guards and
tackles, showed either lack of
proper coaching or failed to follow
the proper methods, If they had been
taught to them. They put up a
plucky fight although forced to-
bow to the superior proves of their
opponents.
