The Allegans, who are called the
best amateur ball players in the state,
came over here last Friday To test the
strength of the Goblcvilles and found
them, as one of the boys said, mo
slouches." One of the features of the
game was the Allegans' going to bat
first and not making first base The
Gobleville catcher, Bert Parks, broke
his finger near the close of the game,
which materially interfered with his
catching. The following is the score:
INNINGS. 2 3 8 o 2 8 8
Allegan % o 0 O 2 1 2 IL
Gobleville0 0 0 o o o o IL
We never make an apology, never;
but when we do, il is when the case Is
very urgent, like the present. Some
time ago, in the interest of education,
we spoke of class in anatomy in our
school; but il seems that our intentions
were not appreciated and we have been
frowned upon, and that is more than
we can bear, therefore we apologize.
IL we have done or said anything we
are sorry for, we are willing to be for
given. We hope this will be accepted
in the same spirit in which it is ten
dered.
Memorial services were held here on
Sunday at the church, Elder Walker
delivering the address. The post met
at the post-room and marched to the

by Marshal Tom Welch. Services were
opened by the band playing the doxol-
ogy, followed by prayer by Elder
Darling Nearer, my God, to Thee"
was sung and played, alternate verses,
by the choir and band, which was
very interesting feature Of the pro.
gramme The address by Elder Walker,
who was an old soldier and is mem
Der of Alvinsia Colvin post, was ably
delivered and made many eyes glisten.
After services, the boys marched i'm the
same order back to the post-room and
disbanded, TO meet again TO decorate
the graves of their fallen comrades on
Wednesday.
