GrinnelI News Letter.

SpeC1eil
Grinnell, May 16.-It was figured be-
fore the game, that Coe had about an
equal chance with Grinnell, in the game
of base ball played here yesterday aft
ernoon, but, after losing two men
"asleep at the switch on first, Grin
nell came out ahead by 81 score of
to 0. All the conditions for first class
playing were present, but the visitors
were not up to their best, and ac-
knowledged that their defeat came
from poor playing and not from hard
luck" Baylor did some good pitch
ing, and some quick work at first, but
some bad errors in catching and field
ing more than counter balanced IT.
The attendance was small, but active.
Umpire, Somers. Score by innings:

If the experimental field of Rev.
Glenn A. Taylor, about mile south
east of this city, on the old Rutherford
farm, may be taken as a criterion,
Iowa should rank among the very best
of alfalfa producing states. Mr.. Tay-
lor sowed two or three, acres last fall
as an experiment, having had no pre-
vious experience in raising alfalfa, and
now has as fine a growth, a foot or
more in height as one could possibly
find under any conditions He had
some fear that it might not stand the
winter here, especially if there were
but little snow to make a covering for
the young plants, but every seed seems
to have terminated apd done it's best,
and there is not vacant foot upon the
whole piece.

ventists is in progress at their church,
