NOTES OF THE FIELD
BelHneham Loses to Blaine in a
One-Sided Game.

The game between Bellingham and
Blaine, which took place at Belling
ham, last Sunday, ended in another
victory for Blaine, the score being
10 to 3.
The Bellingham team had three of
the Lynden players, Hemingway
Meurer, and Dean. The Bellingham
team got seven hits off of Gochy, the
Blaine pitcher, and out of the seven
the Lynden players got six. and also
made all three scores. Without the
Lynden players. it looks as if it woul,
have been a shut out.
The Blaine manager told the Lyn-
den players that he would give Lyn-
den the first open date he had, and
the game to be played at Blaine. Let
us hope that he finds a few open
dates soon.
The Lynden team will tangle with
the fast stepping Westminster ag
gregation next Sunday afternoon, at
Hawley's park. This British Colum-
bia team has met and defeated some
of the best clubs in this part of the
country, including Blaine, and at the
rate which the local boys have been
going fast and interesting game is
expected. Dan Murray, an old ex-
Lacquer himself. will bring the best
talent which he can secure.
A new man by the name of Fisher
will probably be in the local lineup.
NJ Fisher halls from the Illinois
State College, and as that College.

ball-tossers he should add strength

The game will be called at $50,
and if you wish to witness a good
game. come.

A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER

Chicago Tribune: Now that every
BODY is in an amiable frame OF
mind, it may be safe to refer t:
the year when there was no sum
mer. Mr.. Charles Haines tells OF
it briefly in the Magazine of Ameri-
can history-the year 1916, when
frost prevailed every month. Seed
sprouted with difficulty, and when
the sprouts came TO the surface
there was not sufficient warmth for
them to grow. Young birds were
frozen in there nests in June. Shows,
heavy rains and cold winds govern
ed. In a few places where the corn
was able to ripen only enough was
gathered for the next years seed
supply.
The sun was enveloped in a maze
as of smoke and its rays were with
ont warmth. The people who had
the experience with a three season
wear told of it with dread for twen-
ty years.

Christ from His birth TO His ascen-
sion. The pictures were all beauti-
fully colored and were beyond doubt
the most costly films ever seen in
