WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

For the third time within the last
four years the cup representing the
intercollegiate championship in base
ball is safely stored in Alma. Satur-
day morning with Hole in the box
the local bunch defeated the Kalam-
azoo college team by score of to
0. Hole pitched a mastery game and
had the Celeryites at his mercy at all
times. The team supported him we'll
In the afternoon Albion went down
before the Olivet team by the score
of three TO one, Sanford pitching for
Olivet and Miller for Albion. Later
in the same afternoon the Alma and
Olivet teams lined up for the fercest
and most significant game of the year.
Duncanson was put in the box for
Alma, while Wallick was on the
mound for Olivet In the second in
ming Sandy seemed to lose his nerve
and with one down gave one man
base on balls and hit two, filling the
bases. He had thrown two balls to
the next man up, when Hole was sent
in to finish the inning. By excellent
emergency pitching and good head
work, Hole pulled the team out of the
tight hole, forcing the men on bases
TO die. Dune anson was sent in at the
first of the next inning and steaded
down and pitched an excellent game
after that one blow up.
The Alma track team took fourth
place in the intercollegiate track
meet. Koepfgen showed up particul-
arly strong. taking twelve points. Nc
Comb failed TO enter the 10O-yard
dash, which accounts for the fact that
he did not place in field the winner
of which went only 10 AS.

ONLY ONE
PLAY MADE
Veteran Baseball Fan Recalls a
Freak Made In 1875

AS faS SIS baseball history goes, there
was but orc quaGruple play ever made.
Triple plays are made every year, anG
there have been unassisted triple plays,
but there was just one quadruple play,
and there may eve be another.
Under tho rules now governing base
ball the opportunity for a four killing
gould never happen. The quadruple play
was made a ger GRAFTON ago, and few OF
tho Je who caW 1t are now in the Land
of h living. Acco ling to BEN bod
Son, an old time fen, who was present
on h memorable Gcasion, II took
place in New York In 1875, and saved
"a game for the old MetropoEtans Of
that ancient time.
"As nea. ly as I a recci.ect," ray.

hies OF 1888 an instance where the Chi

though each round had been the LAST
half OF the ninth for the Victories
club.
/, On this occasion New York had the
best of 1t by q tab of 9 to 8, and &.
seemed d cinch to put out the gama,
even allowing the snsTny TO take the
