MEMORIAL DAY At
HANCOCK, MICHIGAN
MAYOR A, j. SCOTT TOOK PART
IN EXERCISES.
Presided as Chairman and in
Opening Exercises Made the
Speech of His Life-Ddily Mining
Gazette Compliments Him
Nephew of Col. D. D. Scott

The Daily Mining Gazette of Hough-
ton, Mich, in it's write-up of the
Memorial Day exercises there, pays a
high compliment to-the speech of A.
j. Scott, the mayor Of the city, who
acted as chairman of the exercises.
Mayor Scott is nephew of Col.
ID. ID. Scott of this city. He made
his home here with Col. Scott in
his younger days and received his
education here. He is the well re-
membered by many of the old settlers,
all of whom will be interested in
reading the following reference to
Mayor Scott. The Michigan Daily
says:
"The exercises were not only very
appropriate but greatly pleased the
multitude of people who was present.
Mayor A. j. Scott acted as chairman
and In opening the exercises made the
speech of his life. His remark we're
unexpected and he not only surprised
his hearers but greatly pleased them.
After mentioning the fact that it was
the fo1ty-second anniversary uf Mem
orial Day, Mayor Scott told how and
why the day was set apart but, said
he, after it was properly observed for
a few years. 1t became more of a
holiday for athletic sports and games
of all kinds as well as racing of one
kind and another. Mr.. Scott i'm
pressed upon the minds of his hearers
that it was mt intended that races,
games or sports should be held on this
day and said that if the National base
ball association, the National horse
mems association, the Millionaire
automobile racing ASSOCIATION or any
oIher organization that wants a
national day for amusements purposes,
should apply to congress and have that
body set day aside for them the
same as has set Memorial Day aside
for the Grand Army of the Republic to
honor the dead. Mayor Scott said
that while the old veteran and the
SPANISH American War veterans have
never failed as yet to visit the ceme-
teries on this day and decorate the
graves of the departed heroes, the
observances of Memorial day in the
past few years were not as elaborate
as that of yesterday. He credited the
Hancock Naval Reserves as being the
prime mover in bringing about the
splendid parade and exercise held yes
terday and he expressed the nope that
now good start has been made that
it will not be allow ed to drop but that
a greater interest will be shown next
year and ever afterward. That Mayor
Scott's address met with the hearty
approval of all present was shown
by the hearty applause given him at
the close of his remarks.

Such was the score of the most
glorious game of baseball in this
village. The weather was perfect for
playing and both mines were in the
best OF trim. A large crowd of
spectators from here as we'll as out of
town witnessed the game. Among
the latter bunch from jefferson was
much in evidence who loudly and
boisterously cheered for P. H. S. A
great many were annoyed by this lack
of loyalty on the part of the neigh
boring city as it has been traditional
for johnson Greek to support Jefferson
at all times and the fremen will no
doubt gladly confirm this.
The following game played Satur-
day June l, between the, Whitewater
II. S. and the Johnson Creek II. S.
This game was declared forfeited to
Johnson Creek in the last half of the
eighth inning score being 6 to 6.
Whitewater refused to go on with the
game claiming that Milbrath being
on second and scoring a run on a two
base hit failed to touch third base.
Neither umpire noticed this and the
runner was called safe at home plate.
Whitewater umpire who was of course,
umpire at the plate gave the w. H.
S. 8 minutes TO resume playing which
they still refused to do when the time
was up. He then decided the game 9
0 to in favor of Johnson Creek.
The Jefferson Imperials no debut
thought they had easy fry when they
came up from Jefferson Sunday to
play the city club. They scored by 2
runs while the home team scored %.
The fans from Jefferson at this game
were evidently disguised as lack of
enthusiasm on their part was plainly
visible.
