IDLE THOUGHTS OF A PHlLOS-
OPHER

Wisdom is the ultimate out
growth of our experience in folly,
wherefore if the fool-kiler were on
his job no one would live to be
wise.
The successful man is he who
can take the lemons handed him
by life and sell their juices in
lemonade to his neighbors.
A girl may smile and smile and
be unwillin' still.
First be sure you are right then
90 ahead, said the wise man. 1t is
equally good advice for the man
who is sure he is left.
Marriage is not always a failure
even tho the brides father, in
every instance, makes an assign
ment of his daughters happiness
and places her in the hands of a
receiver.

NEW MORTAR PROJECTlLE.
One to Carry $1,000 Yards Planned

The United States government is at
work on a new mortar of greater carry

term bomb has become almost obsolete
in the vernacular of the military serv-
ice. and yet that term best conveys
to the lay mind the idea Of the projec-
tile fired from the mortar battery

air at an angle of forty-five degrees or
more. fred i'm salvos-that is. four guns
fired simultaneously-and designed to

locity little less than that with which
they left the muzzle of the mortar
are designed especially TO pierce the
comparatively light armor of the decks
Of warships and If possible to pene-
trate to the vitals Of the ship before
they explode.
The present style of mortar projectile
weighs 1000 pounds and has an effec-
tive range of 10000 yards, but it is pro-
posed soon to substitute lighter pro-
jectile one weighing about 700 pounds,
but which will have an effective range
of 1900 yards.

SEVEN AGES or BASE BALL

All the worlds ball field
And all the men upon it merely
players:
They have their innings and their

And one man in his time makes
many plays,
At bat and on the diamond. At

Billing the ball about the vacant
lots.
And then the "semi-pro' with
fierce ambition
Some day to be as great as Honus

And draw big coin. And then the
minor
The Minor League--soon by scout
discovered,
Bought and given a try-out. Then

The Major League-idol of the

Quick on bases, snappy and sure
of fielding,
Seeking the sluggerS reputation,
Zen against Three Finpured Brown
Then--pOuf! benchwarming!
His leg goes bad, his arm or eye or
something.
He bats 'em out before the game,
and coaches,
In sweater clad, at first or third.
The papers
All fear he can't come back. The
sixth age shifts
To Minor Leagues again. And
there he is.
He says he's just as good as e'er
he was
But even here too fast's the COM
pany
For his bad leg or arm; his manly
voice,
Turning again toward childish
treble, blames
1t on the umpire. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange, eventful
history,
Is Bush League hopelessness and
sure oblivion,
Sans speed, sans eye, sans arm,
sans everything!-Puck

BEAI Hal 5 NORAALS
Alma Trims Old Rivals by Small
Score

Last Wednesday the varsity met
and defeated Helmer'S Mt. Pleasant
Normal team in very scrappy and
interesting game by the score of
2 to 0,
The game was pitchers battle
between Sandy DuncanSon and
Spross. Each allowed only four
hits but Sandy kept hits scattered
and at critical moments showed his
master hand by striking out the
Normals heavy hitters and holding
them runless throughout.
The fact that the game was only
little over an hour long signifies
that there was something doing all
the time. The teams were very
evenly matched and at all times
showed high class. Each team
turned off nice double play at a
critical moment.
Graham opened the game with
a single into right, was sacrificed
to second by Call and scored on
Sandy's ripping double into center
Burke and Hole flied out to pitcher
and center.
Alma scored again in the sixth.
Graham flied to Reynolds, Call
drew pass and stole second, Sandy
popped to Coutant but "Billy"
Burke was the man of the hour
again, with a slashing single which
scored Call, Hole singled to right
and Burke was caught at the plate
for the third out.
Mt. Pleasant threatened to score
in the ninth but pretty double
play Call to King to Phillips retired
the side in lightning order.
This was the first game in which
Sandy has shown his real form and
he was backed up in excellent
shape.
King was seen at second in his
first appearance in an Alma base
ball uniform and gave a good ac-
count of himself.

ADRA|N DEFEATED
Alma ,,DeCiSlveIy IOut Plays Their
Opponents
Sandysand Hole in Great FOrm-Sandy Pitch
ed No Hit Game

Z Last Friday and Saturday was
the real test of the varsity when it
lined up against the fast Adrain
bunch with Rogge, their star
pitcher, in the best possible shape.
These were the first M. |. A. A.
championship games for Alma, and
according 10 the record that Adrain
had already established by the
superb pitching of Rogge, was to
show Alma's true caliber. The
fact that the Maroon and Cream
was victorious in both contests and
the way the boys played together
and took advantage of all their
opportunities testifieS that they are
second to none in the intercollegiate.
The score in both games was close,
because each was pitchers battle
but Alma'S men made by far the
best appearance on the field. They
showed the result of more thorough
coaching and had life sand pepper
all the time and in pinches relied
upon head work rather than Drawn
or luck. Let it be said however
that the visitors put up a scrappy
game and were always to be
reckOned with.
Hole and Rogge were the oppos-
ing pitchers in the first game and
each did wonderful work. "Olie"
had the better support of the two
and did not have to exert himself
as much as his opponent but when
the occasion demanded it he always
had the batters at his mercy. Once
with man on and only one down
a lightning double play by Burke,
King and Phillips spoiled all
chances of score and retired the
side. Burke grabbed the ball on
the run and snapped it to King
who quickly relayed it to Phillips.
Alma scored first in the fourth,
Sandy fouled to HawIey, Burke
was hit by pitch and stole second
and came home on a wild throw to
catch him taking third on a poor
return of the ball.
"OctY" Graham opened the sixth
with single, stole second was
sacrificed to third and was driven
home by Burke, who again deliver
ed the goods at the right time.
Let it be said right here, that not
once has Billy failed to produce the
necessary hit when he was called
upon.
Adrain scored in the eighth.
Curry got new life on Calls
tumble and after being advanced
on two outs scored on Kings error.
Arnot then singled but Roberts
sent up short fly to Sandy.
Adrain attempted to come back
strong in the ninth but Metcalf and
Stevens could not find cole" for
even a resemblance of a hit and
Wilson gave three mighty swings
and the excitement was over.
The features of the game aside
from the. work of both pitchers was
the fielding of Duncanson and
Phillips, the catching of Graham
and the FINLEY hitting of Burke.
The team never looked better
nor worked together in better shape.
Much praise is due the coach and
the boys for the great improve
ment that has been effected since
spring vacation.

The second game found Sandy
Duncanson and Stevens the oppos
ing twirlers and another pitchers
battle ensued, with Sandy coming
out ahead. Not one hit was made
off our south paw captain and the
out field did not have even single
chance. Sandy should have had
shut out except for a base on
balls and a wild throw by Phillips
to catch man mapping on third in
the sixth inning.
Several other times Sandy got
himself into a hole by giving
base on balls but on each other
occasion he retied the side on
strikes. His pitching was the most
remarkable performance of its kind
ever seen on Davis Field. He also
won his own game by driving the
ball against the fence for triple
with a man on second and started
a double play in the first inning
after the first man had gotten on
by an error.
Alma scored in the first inning,
Sandy reached first on an error by
Hawley, stole second and scored
when Burke gladened the hearts
of the fans with another of his
timely singles.
Adrain tied the score in the first
half of the sixth, Wilson received a
base on balls was sacrificed to
second and to third and scored on
Phillips high throw to Burke.
In the last half of the inning
"Octy" was thrown out by Gray
on a fine play, Call got two base
hit and scored on Sandy'S triple.
Burke and Hole flied out. In an
attempt to do further scoring in
the eighth Coach Carrithers sub
stituted Policy for Montieth and
he responded with single behind
second which Gray stopped but
could not play to first, "Octy" got
on and advanced him to second
when Stevens fumbled his hard
hit bounder. Both runners ad-
vanced on a passed ball but in an
attempted squeeze play Policy and
Call were doubled when Stevens
caught Calls bunt. Stevens Show
ed further ability by striking out
Sandy and ended the inning.
The fielding features of the
game was the double play in the
first inning and a pretty running
one handed pick UP by Burke.
Phillips completed the play by
making spectacule one handed
catch of the throw from a very
difficult position, King played well
at second, Graham caught a very
good game making wonderful
catch of high foul and otherwise
playing good ball.
Alma now has four M. |. A. A.
games to its credit, as Kalamazoo
forfeited two games early in the
season, and has the only perfect
record of the team in the intercol-
legiate.
