Last Saturdays Contest Pleased the
People.

Last saturdays Contest Pleased the
People.
The best game of ball that has been
played on the park diamond this sea-
son, was witnessed Saturday after
noon. 1t was very closely contest
ed battle between Ionia and Otsego,
the teams working vigorously for
every inch of advantage there was in
the play, Otsego winning by score III
2 to /. The batteries did most excel
lent work, and the pitching by Otse-
go's man was something marvellous.
The audience was kept at high tension
all the time by the remarkable display
of skill and the closeness with which
every point was gained. Umpire
George Stout was very impartial in
his decisions although several of them
were objected to in strenuous man
ner by the Ionians.
Next Saturday the Ionia and Big
Rapids Giants will be the attraction
and lovers of the sport will have an
opportunity of witnessing another
fine game.

of instrumental selections were also
rendered by the hostess, and their
daughter, Miss Florence gave some
of the latest vocal productions. Mrs.
Cowdin served light refreshments of
ice cream and cake. The members
of the force, knowing that persons in
Mr.. Cowdin's vocation considered the
"pen mighter than the sword" pre-
sented the gentleman with fountain
pen as token of their esteem, the
presentation being made by Miss
Ella Raymond. The best wishes and
good will of all go with their former
employer.
