But the inning was not destined to close here as Breitenstein declared that Grimes had made a balk and allowed Perry s score to count. The Barons protested in vain, Grimes even taking Brit out to where he had been standing, but the little umpire was obstinate and refused to reverse his decision An appeal was made to O'Toole, but he sustained his colleague.

Poor pitching in the first round caused the downfall of the Barons yesterday afternoon. The Gulls piled up five runs at the very beginning of activities and by the aid of this commanding lead de- feated the Barons in the final game of the initial series by the score of to 4. The victory yesterday gives the Gulls the series, three of the four openers be- ing roped in by Briscoe Lord and his hirelings.
 Grimes opened hostilities, but before the round was over Johnson was rushed to his assistance after he had give five men their bases on balls. Johnson fin ished out the game and held the visiting team well in hand. Gudger, a former Pelican, was selected by Lord to face the Barons. Although he had little besides his glove and a good prayer, Gudger used them in good advantage and es- caped with the goods.

John G. F|ann and wife Objects.
Of Good Intentions Of Large
Crowd Sunday.

A memorable gathering occurred at
John G. Flann's place in Lake Lillian
last Sunday afternoon. Over four

return from church old friends came
from far and near-a dozen wellfilled

points rolled into the yard, and
neighbors came out en- masse, Mr..
Flann began to feel that something
extraordinary was on foot. And he
surmised correctly. Seats we're i'm
provised on the lawn. The organ was
brought out. Mr.. Ole E. Erickson,
who officiated as the master of cere
monies in his usual witty and EN-
phatic style, summoned the crowd to-
gether and first called on Gov A. E.
Rice of Willmar to do his part. Gov.
Rice first told how he had been en-
listed by the "live wire" of Lake Lill-
ian in this undertaking and how glad
ly he had responded to the call. He
referred to the nine stalwart Erick-
son boys who all stood over six feet
tall, and who constituted squad that
would have gladdened the heart of a
Charles the Twelfth. He then ad-
dressed the object of the gathering,
complimented him on his public serv-
ice Of thirty-five years as town clerk
and in other capacities, and on behalf
OF those present presented Mr.. Flann
with a fine Howard gold watch, suit
ably engraved with the initials ]. G..
