BALL GAME STARTS BIG
 CELEBRATION OF TODAY
Van Dyck Win Contest With Score of 12 to 8Qeen Receives Portland Rose at Midnight--Entertainment Parade and
 Dances Are Features for Today and Tonight

Midnight Sun began in tentative way with a midnight baseball game last night, at which the Van Dycks beat the Marquettes with a score of 12 to S. The real celebration, how ever will take place today when the carnival spirit will have full sway.
 The grandstand at the ball game was filled and some were unable to find seats on it. The occasion was enlivened by crowd of young people with bells and horns.
 The Marquettes played in bad luck from the first, and before the game was half over the spectators seemed assured of the final out come. Notwithstanding that, the game was good and was filled with plenty of enthusiasm.
 There will be three features on today's program. One of them will be the exercises to be held at the by the children, under the auspices of the Native Sons and of the Golden North. This will start promptly at ? o'clock, and will be free for everyone.
 The next feature will be the big parade this evening, in which will be numerous floats of unique design. It is estimated that the parade will be about half a mile in length.
 As the last feature of the pro- gram will be the dances tonight, which also will be free for the public. The dance at the Auditorium will be under the direction of R. F. Roth and Henry T. Ray. That at Eagle hall will be under the per sonal direction of E. E. Dilley.
