PLAYED GOOD BALL
Patrons of Base Ball Witnessed the
Reai Thing Thursday

Lovers Of base ball were out in large
numbers last Thursday to witness the
game between The Hubs of this city and
the St. Alphonsus club Of Grand Rapids.
All who attended were treated to an ex-
cellent illustration of the real article as
far as base ball is concerned.
From the moment when Umpire
PEBBLES called to the players to play ball
it was ball every minute. When the last
half Of the ninth inning was over the score
stood 2 to in favor Of the visitors.
The ST. Alphonsus team are a gentle
manly lot Of fellows. and the usual amount
of disputing was missing from tie
game. Our boys suffered severely from
few costly errors, which came at time
when the status of the game might have
been materially changed if they had moi
occurred; but that is the lot Of the best Of
players and comes to league teams as
we'll as minor teams. Pitcher Harry
Crawford pitched fine game and wouo
have cleaned out the visitors If he could
have had little better support. Satur-
day the boys cross bats with the Sheridan
nine and another good game is looked for.
The local team has been reorganileo
Bert Reed having resigned as captain
and Elmer Nash elected to succeed him
and will be in tip top shape for Saturday.

Memorial day is the one day in the
whole calendar that firmly appeals to the
loyalty and patriotism of the American
people. The survivors of that internecine
struggle which waged from 86l to 865
that came so near destroying the prin-
cipes on which the government of Wash
ington and jefferson and their compatriots
was established brought under ten
der recollection. To the generation that
has sprung into existence since those
exciting days, has come feeling Of rev.
srence for the men who offered their lives
on the field OF carnage and out of it all
has emanated feeling Of sentiment and
patriotism that increases as the years GO
by-a feeling that secures inyoate the
perpetuity of the government and the
sacred rights OF the people.
The day was fittingly observed in Beld-
ing by the old soldiers and members of
the W. r. c taking the lead in the exer-
cises. The Post and Relief Corps formed
in a body at their hall at o o'clock a. m,
and together with the mayor and mem
bers OF the common council. the city fire
department and other officials of the city,
they marched to Main street bridge, where
the service in honor of the dead sailors
and marines. with the beautiful custom
OF dropping bouquets of flowers into the
water was observed. The line Of march
was then taken up through Main street tc

FLAGS PREVAILED
city WINS Beautifully Decorated in
Honor of Fallen Heroes

CITY WINS sea 1ulIN DtcOrnttd
Honor of Fallen Heroes
Decoration day. 90Z, has come and
gone, and our citizens in general honored
the occasion IN befitting manner. Flags
and bunting We're in evidence in every
store front and from many Of the resi-
dences. The small army Of veterans,
who in the dark and trying hours Of our
country's peril forsook their homes and
family ties to go forth to battle for the
preservation Of our beloved country, could
not fail to realize that their efforts were
not in vain,
Considerable effort was made on the
part of some of oar business men to have
their window displays worthy Of the oc-
casion. and at least two Of them made a
display worthy Of more than Iassing men,
ton.
E. c. Lloyd had both of his large show
windows decorated in a manner certainly
most pleasing In his east window a
mounted cannon helped to recall to the
veterans Of long ago the rain Of shot and
shell to which they were subjected
Around the cannon and all about it were
seen the stars ndstripes, and displayed
at various points in the window were pic
lures of Washington, Lincoln and MoKin-
ley who took such an active part in the
formation and holding together of these
United States. 10 his west window the
Goddess of Liberty, draped in the national
oolors, stood guard over two shelter tents,
which formed so important part in the
lives of the veterans Of '6l Both win
dows called forth much praise from OBJ
servers.
In Jensen & Wheeler's s east window the
window dresser had brought back the
national tradgedy Of few short years
ago, when William Mckinley, our mar
tyred president, was laid to rest as the
result of shot from an anarchist In
this picture the embIems of mourning
we're visible and between the open gates
the passerby saw fresh grave, with a
soldiers headstone marking the resting
place Of the departed dead In the back
ground magnificent picture of the late
President Mckinley showed anew the
reverence for him whom all the world
adored The grave was appropriately
decorated with flowers ana a card bearing
the inscription, ITO the Memory Of Our
Fallen Dead, gave it much significance
DR.. Marjory Orr also decorated APP
propriately for The occasion. and the star
of the country was prominent in the fore
ground. The balcony in front of her office
was beautifully festooued with the ma
tion's oolors.
Nearly all of the store es had their win
dows especially arranged for the day. bu'
lack of space prevents our going farther
into detail. Suffice it to say that the
spirit of patriotism is not latent in our
city, and that our hustlng business mer
are ever on the alert to do all in theil
power to continue alive the feeling O.
patriotism and respect to the memory o.
the departed and living heroes of oul
national calamity.
