LOCALS SHUT OUT BRAlNERD
BIGGEST AND BEST GAME OF
SEASON CAPTURED BY To-
GALS / TOO ,,.

Little Falls on the Fourth Of July
copped victory from the Brainerd
team at the fair grounds here in what
was scOnsidered one of the best games
that has ever been witnessed in Little
Falls. The score was to 0, in favor
Of Little Falls. Approximately two
thousand people witnessed the game.
One hundred automobiles loaded with
fans were parked along the fence and
other parts Of fair grounds.
The local team played an errorless
game and the visitors had but two er-
rors Registered against them, both oc-
curing in the eighth inning, one of
them being responsible for the one
score made by the locals.
Falls, pitched splendid ball. He held
the visitors to seven hits, which were
well scattered. He struck out nine
men and did not administer single
pass. Victor did good work for Brain
erd, holding the locals to six hits nd
getting four strikeouts. The pitchers
were given excellent support.
The only run registered came in the
eighth inning. Dunphy sent a ground
er to Cook, who fumbled it, and he got
first safely. Gourd grounded out, Vic
tor to Cook. Longley singled and
Meyers few out to Pehle. Rossman
sent a grounder down the line along
the third sack, Templeton failing to
handle it cleanly and Longley crossed
the plate.
Several other times during the game
both teams had men as far as third
base but they were unable to connect
for a safe bingle to bring in a score.

the driving drill work seem to have
wrought a wonderful change, and the
prospects for holding Marshalltown on
even terms are said to he bright.
The Cedar Rapids coach has i'm
pressed upon the minds Of his men that
victory or a tie game Thursday will
go far toward giving Cedar Rapids
good standing among the leading
schools of the state. and every energy
is being bent toward victory over
Marshalltown.
Tickets for the game are much, in
demand and the Cedar Rapids busin ess
staff predicts an attendance of about
1000. Special attention is being d.
rected to the school yells for the day,
and the students will be reinforced
in noise making by band
The last time Marshalltown and
Cedar Rapids met the game resulted in
tie and the Linn county boys look
upon Thursdays game as a continu-
ance of the former struggle, and are
hoping that the decision may be in
their favor.

Directory Gives
City Population
No,u of 1852

Population 1852. That is the esti-
mate of the number of people in this
city based on the compilation of the
1917 issue Of the new directory by the
Pettibone Directory Company OF
Fargo, n D. This estimate is an in
crease of ST over the state census,
compiled here in July. 1915. The off,
cial count then was 1906. The esti-
mate will be regarded as conservative.
The size of the book and the num-
ter of pages it contains indicates the
growth Of the city. The directory has
twenty more pages than the last Of the
other fourteen directories Of the city
compiled by the same company. In
names it shows the largest increase
over the preceding directory Of any
ever published here. The book has
been carefully prepared. and typo
graphically il is very neat.
