AsS celebration of the closing
of the baseball season in Bemidji, a
nine-reel comedy was staged at the
new athletic park Sunday afternoon,
members of the Grand Rapids team
taking prominent parts in the pro-
duction. Whaling took the leading
part and was we'll supported by eigth
other members of the company from
the Itasca county metropolis.
Expected Close Game.
A goodly number of fans attended
the contest, anticipating good
game as the two teams had battled
through a 5 to 4 game earlier in the
season, with Grand Rapids at the
long end of the score. For one in
ming it looked like a real baseball
game but the second inning was a
scene of awful carnage and when the
smoke of battle had cleared away ten
runs had crossed the plate.
The final score was 16 to in
favor of Bemidji.
Bat Around Twice.
In the second inning the entire
Bemidji team, with the exception of
Frank and White, batted twice.
Three more runs were added in the
third and three more in the sixth.
The visitors scored three runs in
the fifth inning and two in the sixth
inning.
G. Bailey got the last hit of the
season and Frank is credited with
the last putout, E. Farrell striking
out. Frank is also Credited with
making the last run and also shares
with Diedrich for the last assist in
an attempted double steal when La
Fountain was put out at the plate
while trying to score from third base.
