After the Ball.

Twenty-six to six in favor of the
Alpena boys was the result Of the
game of base ball at the fair
grounds Wednesday afternoon, be-
tween the Tawas club and the Mvs-
tics of this city. 1t was cold day
for the visitors, although the Mys-
tics did their best to get them warm
by giving them plenty of running
about the grounds, after the ball.
1t was a batting day for the Mys-
tics, and they pounded the ball un-
mercifully. Scores were made
every innings except in the fifth,
while the visitors scored only on
the first, second and eighth.
Innings, 1913 567 S9
Mystics, 5S41 0 3 Q 3 go
East Tawas, 10000 8 0-6
The GOODNESS of the weather was
the principal cause of the attend
ance not being much larger than it
was, and those who attended were
mostly base ball enthusiasts.
The Mystics were composed Of
F. w. Hagen, pitcher; Edward
Ever, catcher, A. b. Potter,
first base; H. G. Eddy, second
base; Frank Ryan, third base; Rich
ard Collins, short stop; Andrew
Shefferman, right field; John Haley,
left field; George Jewell, center field.
1t was hardly the polite thing for
the Mystics to score so heavily
against their guests, but the boys
could not resist the temptation.
Their bats would come in contact
with the ball.

The Athena Driving Club.

The above club will have their
track at the fair grounds finished
this week, and competent Judges
say it will be one of the fastest
tracks in Michigan. 1t is built on
plans and specifications approved
of by Robt. Griffith, the acknowl-
edged peer of race track builder in
the world. This track will be opened
to the public on the Fourth of July,
and the program which will be
presented to the patrons on that
day will be open to horses in AL
pena and Altoona counties, as fol-
lows: Gents driving race, open to
horses eligible TO 2.40 class, driven
by owner-to either sulky or cart,
purse $50. Pacing race, purse, $50.
Three year old or under, purse, 500.
Free for all, purse $3.50. Besides
numerous other attractions.
Upwards of 81 900 have been ex-
pended on the track and grounds,
and large amount of work remains
yet to be done, which will require
the expenditure of about $4,000
more. Next week the old grand
stand will be removed and convert
ed into barns, for the accommoda-
ton of trotters, and an entirely
modern structure erected in its
place, with ample room for all pat
rons. The club promises one Of
the best days sport ever witnessed
in Alpena, on the Fourth, and they
certainly deserve the hearty sup
port of the residents of this and ad-
jacent counties.

The County Road Commissioners
will have fund of S102, 1875 to con-

build a great deal of highway. 1t
will probably be some weeks before
the bonds are printed, signed and
exchanged for cash, and then the
com missioners can set a force of
men at work. BY fall there ought
to be first class road from this city
to the western part of the county,
with branches running to the Hub
bard Lake region and to the farm
ing district in Long Rapids town.

The building of the county roads
will give employment to many men
and teams, but all the laborers
needed can be found at home, as
there are plenty of men out of
work.

Ida Van Cortland and company
concluded their season at the Opera
House Friday evening, having given
the following plays during the
week: Mighty Dollar, Blacksmith's
Daughter, Danites, Rash Marriage,
and Michael Strogoff. The last
was rendered in a manner not often
equaled in this city. Every part
was we'll sustained, and the cos
tunes and scenic effects were very
fine and attractive. BY means of a
calcium light most wonderful eff
fects were shown during the Tar
tar camp scene. The audience was
one of the largest of the season,
and all were well pleased. 1t will
probably be the last appearance of
Ida Van Cortland in this city.
With the exception of the last the
entertainments were largely of the
variety class, but the work done by
the specialists was appreciated by
the audiences. Taken as a whole,
the company is a good one.
