BEMlDJI HIGH DEFEATS
;. CASS LAKE BALL TEAM
Locals Win 16 to S After Loose
= Playing in First Inning;
Return Game Listed

= Although it took the first inning
for the Bemidji team to get settled
down, Bemidji high school copied
off it's first game of baseball at the
old ball park Saturday afternoon.
Cass Lake high school also playing
its first game of baseball this season
was the victim, the final score stand
ing 16 to 5.
Baney, pitcher, and Cline catcher,
proved to- be a very strong combina-
ton for Bemidji after the first inn
ing. Baney pitched a very good game
and his work was largely responsible
for the low score of Cass Lake. The
Bemidji infield and outfield also did
fine work considering that this was
the first game Of the season.
f. In the first inning .Cass Lake
scored three runs while Bemidji was
held scoreless. Then Bemidji tight
.ened up with the result that -Cass
Lake scored only two more runs in
the remaining six innings, scoring
once in the fourth and once in the
seventh.
Bemidji brought in two runs in
the second, four in the third, five in
the sixth and five in the eighth. By
all means it was Bemidji's game al
though Cass Lake put up a hard
and game fight from start to finish.
Alvord pitched seven innings for Cass
Lake, Waldron pitched one, and the
scorekeeper may possibly know the
name Of the other pitcher, who also
held the box for one inning. Shonda
worked behind the bat for Cass Lake.
/, For Bemidji, Baney and Cline
proved good for the entire game,
while Rhea occupied first base, Bailey
second, Doe shortstop, and Hickerson
third. Peterson, Hurst and Woock
occupied the outfeld.
A return game has been arranged
for Cass Lake for May 20, while
games are also being arranged with
Park Rapids and Walker. A game has
been tentatively listed with Walker
for May IL at Walker, return game
to be played here later in event this
date is acceted by Walker. A. request
for a game here this coming Satur-
day, has been sent to Park Rapids
but no answer has as yet been re-
ceived.

STREET IMPROVEMENT .
CAMPAIGN CONTINUED
Porch and Window Boxes Are
Y
Urged; Waste Paper Is to
- Receive Attention

As previously announced, the street
Improvement campaign which was
conducted for the past two years
under the direction of the Civic I'M
-provefnent committee of the Wo-
mems Civic and Community club, is
being continued this year and judges
of inspection have already been ap-
pointed to serve this season. The
Judging committee consists of G. D.
Backus, E, H. Denu and Mrs. Harry
Bridgeman. The first inspection OF
streets and avenues will be made soon
and this will be followed by regular
insertions to determine the amount
of Improvement done by each street
or avenue. The street or avenue
showing the most Improvement dur
ing the summer will be awarded the
silver cup donated by the Civic and
Community club. Last year this cup
was won by Lincoln Fravef1ue,' Fifth
ward. and the year before by Irvine
avenue. '"; Co.
The Improvement urges that every
home have a number OF porch and
window flower boxes. Arrangements
have been made SO these can be Sc
cured from local florists at a very
reasonable price. The committee
especially recommend the planting
of ecunia or nasturtiums in these
boxes, since these are very reason
able in price. Either the boxes with
or without the plants can be secured
from the florists.
Another project which the com
mittee is DESTROYS Of seeing carried
out is the, disposal Of waste paper,
which heretofore has been allowed to
blow about the streets, lots and
boulevards. Arrangements are being
made for number Of depository re
ceptacles to be located in convenient
places and the public in general is
urged to assist in. every way. The wo-
men of the club are also taking part
in the. "square-corner" drive which is
on locally.
