thusiasm Of the town was revived in
those who witnessed the game at the
Driving Park on Saturday last between
the Milton Crescents and the home team,

lovers of the sport. The Edgerton club
is practically without practice, but after
recovering from their stage fright in the
first inning were able to hold down their
opponents in close game. The Cres-
cents are playing good ball this season,
having the'support of Cal Broughton be-
hind the bat. The battery of the home
team, the Hallett brothers, did good
work. The score by innings was:
Crescents - 0 O l 0 @ @ O So
Edgerton. 10 O l 0 O l 0 0-3
Clerks of the local camps of Wood
men will hereafter receive better COM
pensation for their services than in the
past, under the new rule passed by the
head camp at Indianapolis last week. It
is expected that the new order of affairs
will cause the clerks to attend to their
duties with renewed vigor and make the
office one more sought after than in the
past. The new rule provides compensa-
ton for the clerks at the rate of five
cents per month per member, and in a
camp of any size this produces an in
come of respectable proportions. Here
tofore the compensation has been fixed
by the local camp and has varied from
thanks to figure that has made it worth
while.
