N. & /. TRAIN SOUTH
WILL RUN NIGHT JULY 3
For Convenience Of Those Who Desire
to Spend Fourth in Twin
Cities.

w. H. Gemmell, general manager
of the M. & I. railway company;
while here yesterday, announced
that the M. & I. had decided to run
a special train Saturday night, July
3, from International Falls to the
Twin Cities in order that all people
living along the M. & I. might 60 to
the cities to spend the Fourth.
An effort will be made by the
executive committee having charge
of the Fifth of July celebration here
to have the M. & I. railway company
run special train north on Sunday
night, July 4, so that people living
south of Bemidji may come to this
city to celebrate on July 5th.
Whether this train can be secured
or not is not known at present, but
strong pressure will be brought to
bear on the officials to secure the
train.

The baseball game last evening
between the locals and the Colored
Gophers was one of those affairs
concerning which it is but charitable
on the part of the Pioneer to speak
gently of the shortcomings of the
Bemidji players, whose lack of
practice made them Cat least most
of them perform like scared lot of
school boys.
The Gophers won the game, with
out half trying, by a score of 10 to
5, and with anything like fair sup.
port to the pitcher, the locals could
have made the contest an exceeding
ly interesting one to the visiting
co1ored men, who played altogether
different from the snappy game
which they put up Sunday afternoon.
The final score was 10 to S, in favor
of the Gophers, and the visitors
had nothing to swell up about in
getting the, long end of the score.
Monte" Brown pitched most of
the game for Bemidji. This was his
first appearance in the box in two
years, and he had thrown but half a
dozen balls prior to- the game. He
had fair control, and when the balls
broke right" for him, the colored
boys had some trouble connecting
with the horsehide. With anything
like fair support he would have held
the darby sluggers to but few scores.
G allaghe the much-touted
ex-Northe1n league catcher, was
affected by the heat of the sun yes
terday and was unable to catch,
Eckel going in behind the plate.
The kid" caught fair game, but
was, like the majority of the other
players, frightened, and his work
was slow.

These terminals will be known as
district terminals, where all freight
handled north and south in Bemidj j
will be made up." There will be
a new frame round house, which will
have but eight stalls at present with
a possibility of being greatly
enlarged as needed, and when
required. There will be two.

tank, a good-sized machine shop
and, in fact, everything needed for

Mr.. Gemmall, in speaking of the
Improvements said that they would
necessitate the expenditure of $4,000
to $4,000; and that the work of
installing the terminals will begin
just as soon as the plans, which are
being prepared, will be completed,
which will be in a few days.
The installing of these terminals
means a whole lot towards the
advancement of Bemidji as the rail-
way hub of north central Minnesota.

Realizing the large amount oil
freight business which is being
handled by their road, with Bemid j
as the central point, the M. & I.
railway company has decided to at
once improve and greatly enlarge its
terminal facilities at this point, by
abandoning the present terminals,
in South Bemidji, south of the Great
Northern railroad tracks, and build
ing new terminals and installing
many additional and larger buildings
for the purpose of handling all the
business for some years to come.

Garrison pitched for the Gophers,
and he was given rather a warm
reception, the locals getting eleven
hits off his delivery, one atwo-bagger
by Collins. But for heart-rending
exhibition of "bonehead" base run
ming, Bemidji would have had at
least four more runs. 1t was painful
to the loyal fan. Garrison struck
out five, while Brown and Baum
gardner famed" nine of the darkies.
The BemidJi fans" are somewhat
disgruntled over the poor showing
which the Bemidji team, as whole,
has made during the two games
played against the Gophers. and in
all kindness to the players who wear
uniforms for Bemidji, we are entitled
to better ball. The Pioneer does
not desire to "roast'' any individual
player, but we are informed that
the players have been paid for the
most part for their playing each
game, and if that is true patrons of
of the games are entitled to better
exhibitions:
The lack of team work and heady
playing is due in a large measure to
the fact that the players simply will
not practice. But few of the men,
bers of the team 60 near the ball
ground at any time during the week.
They are on hand when the game is
called and when the uniforms are
removed they keep away from the
park.
Brace up, boys, and show the
fans" what you can do. There are
some excellent players in Bemidji.
and with practice no team hereabouts
has any licence to get away with any
game. Practice for the games July
4th and 5th, and the fans will all be
with you. @
