1t is composed of 200 acres of
ground owned and controlled by the
EpWorth League Association. At
present there are some two hundred
cottages scattered along the beach
and hidden among the cliffs of the

situated about half way up the east
ern shore of Lake Michigan, two
miles north of the city of Ludding-
ton, with which it is connected by
steam dummy at a five cent fare.

WALK OFF FIELD
BEFORE 700 PEOPLE
Corvallis Ball Team Gets Cold
Feet Early in Game---Man-
ager Bowden Stops
the Contest.

Hamilton won from Corvallis Sun
day. The game lasted only three in
nings, when Corvallis quit the field
and the umpire declared Hamilton the
victor. This unusual action--the
first on record in the Bitter Root--pre-
maturely closed what promised to be a
spanking exhibition and disappointed
700 enthusiastic people.
1t was a nifty contest-while it last
ed. Both teams were settling down
to baseball after repeated errors caus-
ed by the high tension of the players.
The first inning resulted in a goose
egg for both punches. In the second
Hamilton scored three runs on rank
errors, and in the third Corvallis
pulled two over the plate. Then-the
rub. Skalicky of Hau.iltou running
from second base to third Jumped into
Riley of Corvallis, and the visitors
registered roar against Umpire
Blakeslee. Hamilton was retired and
Corvallis went to bat. With one man
down Magni was declared out on
forced run and-Corvallis quit. Man
ager Bowden ran out on the field and
called his men off against the protests
of the mem bers of the team.
A crowd of fans rushed out on the
grounds and a general trough house,
was prevented only by the prompt
action of Marshal Higgins.
Over 700 people gathered to see the
game, as the standing of the teams
assured a rouser. Neither side at the
close had a whit the advantage. Sim-
nous of Corvallis had not allowed
safe hit and Cothrell was pitching
splendidly for Hamilton. The out
come was in doubt.
Manager Fisk of the Hamilton team
stated today that he would not consider
another game with Corvallis SO long
as the team remains under the present
management, as he desires to protect
