FIRST PRACTICE SUNDAY

Sunday afternoon at 1870 the first
steps toward organizing a city base
ball team for Bemidji will be taken,
when the first practice will be held at
the fair grounds. About fifteen men
have stated that they will be present
and as all are good players and have
had experience on college and High
school teams, fair team is assured
for Bemidji. A meeting will also be
held, while the candidates are togeth-
err, to elect captain and manager.
Local fans have shown much in
terest in team and little trouble
is expected in supporting one this
year. Some arrangements will I'M
doubtedly be made, if the team
proves a success, to either obtain a
diamond nearer the down town dis
trict than the present location or else
grade the grounds now used. :s-.-...

"'SHYL0CK" TONIGHT


y Tonight the proceeds received
the Majestic theater will. be turned
over to the junior class of the Bemidji
High school to be used in paying the
expenses of entertaining the seniors
this year. A special program has
been arranged for this date including
a two-reel film from the Merchant of
Venice, songs by the Boys Glee club
and a solo by Earle Riley. The ad-
mission charge will be ten and fifteen
cents.
The juniors expect to give their
senior banquet at the Markham no.
tel sometime during the first week in
May and are working hard to raise
the necessary funds. In former years
it has been the custom to entertain
the seniors at ball but the juniors
this year believe that the seniors will
appreciate a banquet much more as
there are many students in both
classes that do not dance.
