Celebrates 80th Birthday.

The friends and relatives of Grandma
Sarah Measom were gathered at the
home of Thomas Measom, her son, in
Lake Shore ward on Thursday, August
10Th, to the number of eighty-one, in
honor of her S0th birthday. The speech
of welcome was made by Henry Tilley
of this city. The occasion was com
memorated by songs, speeches and reci-
tations by members of the family and
others. The hymn, Nov let Us Re-
joice in the Days of Salvation" was
sung as the opening piece. and they
closed with the beautiful piece, Count
Your Blessings.
A biographical sketch of Sister Mea-
som was read by Phills Anderson Hone
in which the following facts were
brought out:
Sister Measom was born in one of
the sunny isles of far away East India
the island of Pooner-on August 10th,
1929. Her father, James Hill, soldier,
was killed at the battle of Cav Bull.
After her fathers death her widowed
mother with four childred went back to
England, her native land, where she
settled at Burton, Lestershire.
In 1S4S she married Thomas Measom,
by whom she had eleven children. In
1855 her husband became member of
the Mormon church, and in 1857 she
also became member, and in 1870 they
emigrated for Utah, and came to Span
ish Fork, where she has resided ever
since. She was left widow in 1888,
with the younger portion of her chill
dren to care for. When she became
too old to perform household duties she
went to live with her Youngest son.
A splendid supper was served which
comprised all the good things to be had.
The whole affair, taken all together,
was without doubt one of the most en-
joyable affairs ever witnessed in Lake
Shore. In conclusion we wish Grandma
Measom many happy returns of the
day.

perfect scoop and threw the ball
to the plate twenty feet ahead of
kRossman, who. seeing that he was
tcaught, doubled back on the line,
hoping to dodge the tag long
enough to allow Shaefer to reach
third.
Sullivan raced down the line with
the ball, driving Rossman before
him. Rossman slipped and fell
close to third base and Just as Sui
livan tagged him for the first out,
ESchaefer slid to third. In the mean
time Schmidt, a slow runner, be-
cause of an injury to his ankle, had
rounded first base and was we'll on
his way to second. Sullivan
Strengthened up and whipped the
ball to Robe, who was covering
recond base and calling for the
throw.
Plate Protected.
AS Schmidt slid, Robes arm
came down with a thump and
Schmidt made the second out. The
instant Sullivan threw the ball, ,
Schaefer was on his feet and dash
ing home from third base. The
plate had been left unprotected;S
ISullivan was down near third base /
Walsh, the pitcher, yelled for the
ball and raced Schaefer to the rub
ber closely followed by George Da-
Wis. The two runners collided in
front of the plate.
Walsh was stunned and Schaefer
was thrown ten feet from the
plate, alighting on his shoulders.
Davis, who arrived about the same
time, took the throw and dropped
the ball on the struggling Tiger,
completing the third out and the
most sensational triple play ever
made in the big leagues.
George Davis, who is a scientist,
says that it was not a clean triple,
but every man at the ball park
went home talking about it in
whispers. 1t is the melodrama of
the game which counts in the pen
ciled statement of the autocrat of
the box office.
