A large crowd witnessed two inter
esting games of baseball yesterday
afternoon on the North Mankato
grounds. Waseca was the first victim
by a score of to g. The visitors
took the lead scoring twice in the
first inning, which made things look
unpleasant for the locals. The game
belonged to neither side until the
lucky eight inning for the North Man
kato boys, when they took a brace
sending four runs across the plate

mainder of the game. Ryan and
Bowers proved to be very good bat
terry for the Waseca team keeping
the hits well scattered. Falcham on
the mound for the locals also did
some good work while Johnson at the
receiving end took care of his de-
partment in league style.
A return game will be played in
the near future.
The second game with the kerns
team resulted in to Is victory for
the locals. Bjuberian was on the
mound for Kerns while A. Burril
was behind the bat. O'Brien and
johnson took care of the battery
work for North Mankato. c. Nickel

games with general satisfaction to
all.

The Boston ClOthiers defeated the
fast Rapidan team by score of 16

day afternoon. The BOstOns clOuted
the ball for five doubles and fifteen

Mrs H. F. Arnold in her monthly
report to the library board has the
following items of interest: Two
hundred and fifty-eight books were
loaned during the month of May, of
which 126 were juvenile and 1872
adult books A fine set of Scandi-
navian and German books have been
received in the state travelling Ii
brary Mrs. Arnold is persisting on
good order and good behaviour in
the library. The room is small and
crowded which makes it
very important that all refrain from
loud talk or cause unnecessary noise.
The following books have been miss
ing for some time. They are of the
travelling library set and must be
paid for if not returned. Bob Hamp-
ton of Placer" jerks, Our Army
for Our Boys" 1t is plainly the
duty of anyone having these books
TO return them al once.
There is sentiment against Sun
day baseball playing in North Man
kato The one thing which has been
a stimulant to the growth of the
village is the quiet, peaceful and
restful atmosphere surrounding the
homes. The citizens have main
tanned this condition by opposing the
picnic parties with drinking,
loud band music, etc. Just as soon
as carousing and boisterous affairs.
on Sunday, are tolerated
the village will suffer. Many towns
have had the foolish notion that the
more noise it made the faster it
would grow No, only the right kind
of noise and the right kind of ap-
pearance will bring results. Let
North Mankato retain it's reputation
as being a desirable place to live in.
H. F. Arnold has purchased OF An
ders Nielsen the home on West Bel
