TO BE CHANGED

The Cinnamon have moved their
laundry outfit into their new loca-
ton on Second Street North opposite
the First National Bank. This place
has been fitted especially for their
use. The building they vacated is
now the property Of F. L. Steib. He
intends to put in new front with
steel ceiling and sides, new floor and
then decorate the entire building &C
cordingly. He expects to fit it up
nicely, after which he will move his
fixtures and stock of drugs and mer-
chandise into the same. Work will
commence on these improvements
next week, after the Fourth of July.
What's going to be done with the
store building now occupied by Mr..
Steib is not yet known. We under
stand there are several parties after
it.

SAME OLD STORY
Stevens Point Beaten at Grand
Rapids With fine Umpire's
Help.

AS is generally known in base ball
circles, Grand Rapids is a hard town
for a visiting team to win in and Sun
days game proved no exception.
While the players themselves are a
nice bunch, it seems next to impossi-
BILE to get an umpire who is fair
enough to give visitor the benefit OF
a doubt in any case. The toughest
deal of all was the calling Of a man
safe" in the eighth inning, who de-
liberately blocked thrown ball with
his hand. Grand Rapids had men
on first and second and the man up
nit to short stop. Curran threw to
third and the man running toward
that base threw UP his hand and
blocked the throw The umpire cal-e1
him safe. This happened directly at
ter decision on first robbing US of a
score and was enough to quit on.
Stevens Point left the field and got
into their rig, but resumed play when
the decision was reversed.
Roberts pitched for Stevens Point
and threw a strong game. He issued
two passes through, and each re.
suited in a run. He struck out
men against Stratton's 8. In the
fourth and fifth he struck out men
in a row. Only one foul was made
off him in getting the four
Stratton got only three strikeouts,
but everything hit off him seem ed
to be a fly into someone's hand.
The Rapids are certainly XII ing
base ball in that town by allowing
the crowd to do as they please and
permitting an umpire to work who
can see nothing but a put out for the
home team.-Stevens Point Daily
Journal.
