if \t"Ts-^f -I COUNTY LICKS CITY AT BALL Courthouse Players Win in a Hot Game by a Score of 37 to 25. "OLD BOYS" SWAT SPHERE AND RUN LIKE YOUNGSTERS Hundreds Tarn Oat to Witness Most Exciting Contest of Season. When County Commis sioner Charles Saxrud last week on behalf of the county officials issued a challenge to Major Carter and the employes of the city to play a game of ball, he little reckoned on the results of his deli. He hardly predicted that eighteen or more substantial citizens of Bemidji would be under the doc tor's care, this morning, and hardly able to perform their usual duties. But that was the result of the affair at the ball park yesterday evening, when the county team won a decisive victory over their city opponents, by a score of 37 to 25. The game was called at 5 o'clock and there was a large crowd on hand, many of whom were ladies.

Judge Spooner started pitch ing for the county and four scores were made by the city before the side was retired. The county came right back with four and made seven in the sec ond. The game was fairly even until the fourth inning when the county players crossed the plate seven times, and from that time on.it was only a question of how badly they would defeat their op ponents. The city was lacking in good pitching, at least as good as the A foul tip hit Wright near the solar plexus. county, and many of their play ers had never been very good with the bai and ball. The game was played with but little friction, and considering the hot weather and poor physi cal condition of the contestants, was not a bad game to witness. The scores were made as fol lows: CityHelmer 5, Kinch and Bursley, each, 4, Russell, Gould and Geil, each, 3, S. Bailey 2, Carter 1, Mayer 0. County Conger 7, French 6, J. Bailey and T.

There was some very lively fielding and hard hitting, and every player on both teams did Bursley told "Umps" About It. his best to exemplify the fine points of the game.

At the con clusion of the game he gave a chicken supper to the members of the county team and also passed around the cigars. Dr. Blakeslee, as coach for the county, was certainly a huge success, and he is "way up" in the points of the game. He drove about thirty miles yester- Dr. Blakeslee- "Slide 'er, old boy, slide 'er." day afternoon in order to be here for the game, and he was re warded by seeing his boys win out. The doctor can certainly "go some" on the coach line. Deputy Sheriff John Bailey slipped and fell while going after a fly bali and scraped about five inches of cuticle from his knee. John has been holding down a claim during the past year and has become accustomed to roughing it, and he kept right on to the finish Alderman Gould challenged Chairman Danaher to afoot race, immediately after the game, but the latter declined the defi, much to Gould's relief. Both gentle men were in telephonic commu nication with a physician during the night, as a result of their stunts during the game. If the kids who are stealing the balls that are batted over the fence do not cease their pilfering, somebody's darling is liable to have serious trouble in justice court. No less than four balls were made away with in this mannerduringyesterday's game. Clerk of Coart Rhoda got tangled up in a brown study at first base, and while he was in deep meditation about four feet from the base City Attorney Russell tagged him with the ball and Fred retired to the bench.

Dr. Morrison acted as coach for the city team and, while he was not so urgent as Dr. Blakes lee, he did very good work, but the county boys were too strong even for the exhortations of the doctor. The triple play pulled off by Conger, French and J. Bailey was one of the best fielding stunts ever seen on a local dia mond. The county team also made two double plays. Alderman Kinch played an ex cellent game behind the bat. He also slammed the ball on sev- Superintendent Regan was kept busy scoring. eral occasions in close proximity to the far corner of the fence. Alderman Mayer's uniform was adorned with a pair of gar ters that created envious and covetous thoughts among the other players. The members of the band paraded the streets before the game and enlivened the doings at the park with some fine selec tions. Alderman Gould was not satis fied with one "mit," but also wore a driving glove on his right hand. Dr R. F. Gardner came down this morning from Blackduck and is transacting business in the city between trains. i ^&^My$ukSki BLACKDUCK TO GET NEW CHURCH Catholics Are to Erect a $2,000 or $3,000 Building This Summer.

A small sized wreck in which a flat car was smashed to kindling wood and an engine damaged slightly, occurred about 6 o'clock this morning on the M. & I. on the other side of Lake Bemidji, near the old hoisting works. No one was injured. The flat car was standing on the track and a heavily loaded log train struck it before the engineer could much more than partially stop. The engine broke loose from the rest of the train and carried the fiat car down the track five yards. RESIDENTS QUIT TOWN DAILY EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS OF MORE OR LESS SEVERITY AT SOCORRO, N. M. Albuquerque, N M, July 20 Refu es in large numbers are arriying f'flre from Socorro, N M, where great damage has been wrought by a suc cession of daily earthquakes since July 2. In that time not an hour has passed without one or more quakes The cen ter of the disturbance is a zone thirty miles long by about ten miles wide, running from the Ladione mountains southeast through Socorro, San An tonio and San Maroial. This side of the belt the shocks have been hardly felt. Each one is preceded by a loud rumbling, like heavy thunder, which oan be heard approaching from the northwest before it reaches Socorro.

The track was torn up for several rods. An engine and wrecking crew were at once sent out from Cass Lake and the coaches were pulled into Solway, where the passen gers were given breakfast and local physicians bandaged up the wounds of the injured. The wrecked engine seems to be laboring under a hoodo, having as a portion of its number "23" it is labeled No. 237. Last December the same locomotive ran into a freight train in the Bagley yards. 'Paddy" Nelson was the con ductor in charge of the train and managed to get his coaches away with a new engine within a few hours after the wreck. Various rumors were afloat in Bemidji this morning to the effect that anywhere from fifteen to twenty had been killed in the collision and considerable excite ment prevailed.
