KALAMAZOO WINS.
Alma Boys Put Up a Hard Fight

A Series of BAD Errors In the First
Two innings Lost the Game.
Alma, ...........0 90 l | o . o , 9
Kalamazoo. ......4 . / | 0 o . . liz
With fair weather and disgracefully
small crowd the Alma team met the
Kalamazoo team Wednesday afternoon
at the race trace.
Alma was given her outs and owing
to the rank errors made on third and at
short Kalamazoo secured four runs in
the first inning and five in the second.
Alma was shut out the first three in
nings but in the fourth and fifth secured
two runs. Kalamazoo found stronger
opposition after the first and second,
obtaining only two runs III the third
and fourth. The home team had by
this time begun to play ball Case took
third base and Baker retired from the
game. Kalamazoo was given four shut
outs III succession, securing only one
run in the ninth. The sixth Alma did
not score but in the seventh by hard
batting and good base running She
secured five The eighth was shut out
and III the ninth two runs left the score
9 TO IL in favor of Kazoo.
Pangbourn pitched an almost faultless
game for Alma and there is little doubt
if he had had proper support that he
would have won the game. His home
run strike in the fourth inning was the
only one of the game.
Kinch held his place behind the bat
with his old time ability and did good
work with the stick.
AL the other Alma players did good
work with few exceptions. Cases work
on third is well worthy of mention.
The Kazoo's put up very poor game
for state league players.
Alma made twelve clean hits and
Kazoo only ten. Errors Alma ii,
Kazoo I. Left on bases: Alma u,

were made by both sides.

that the cemetery committee are max

The Alma baseball team went TO Mt.

The weather was fine and large crowd

Misfortune greeted the Alma boys as
the third ball passed over the plate
when Catcher Misamore had his hand
badly hurt and was forced to leave his
place. McAdams took the place and
caught the game i'll highly creditable
manner. Thomas, the Alma pitcher,
was also injured just before the game in
throwing for practice and took Baker
place in center field Bakers work in
the box was excellent, many of Mt.
Peasants best batters being struck out.
All the boys put up good game con-
sidering the small amount of practice
they have had. Magaw made two phe-
nomenal catches in left field and Van
Dyne did good work at the bat.
The following is the lineup of the
teams:

NEW ENGLAND FARMERS

one such letter just at hand comes with the
recommendation OF the president of the
college that | give the young man a situa-
tion and help him to get taste of New
England agriculture, and the young man
goes on to say that the professor tells
him he has better opportunities for sue
cess here than at the West, and little
later on this young man hopes TO become
New England farmer.

It is evident, as my friend at the corner
there has just observed, that this is going
TO be pretty good machine Administra-
tion. Three OF the people connected with
it, for one thing, have always been good
machine men-Hobart, Vice President;
Alger, Secretary OF War, and Bliss, Secre-
tary of the Interior; and doubtless such men
as Long, McKenna and Wilson, having had
at no remote period in their careers fights
for Congress on their hands, ought not 10
have forgotten entirely how TO be friendly
TO the boys.
Mr.. Hobart had been for years the Re-
publican national committeeman for New
Jersey, which means that he has pulled
wires with the best of them and knows
the value of sympathetic party service
and OF gratitude. The same is true of
Mr.. Bliss, who has been secretary of the
Republican national committee; and surely
in that capacity he must have known what
it was to raise political money and spend
It, and how important that branch of the
business is. Gen. Alger has not been
national committeeman, but he has fought
