received the best treatment in this city
that they have received away from
home and as good as they ever got
on the home grounds. He also prais-
ed the work of Jesse as first -baseman
and Talbot as short-stop and further
said that Glen Foss is the best pitch
er who has ever opposed them.
There is absolutely no doubt but
that Grand Rapids will have a fast
Esnappy team next season. The man
agement now has a good idea as to
what the lineup will be and with
Foss and Nelson doing the sharpshoot
ing there is no question but what the
season Will be started with a winning
team.
Up to the time Of the securing of
VIM. Kelley as captain of the team,
there was an entire lack of team worE
and was not in the winning form that
1t has been in since the advent of
Mr.. Kelley. The team has improved
in batting, fielding, base running, in
fact in every way and it is all ow-
ing to the careful coaching of Mr..
Kelley. He has set a good example
both at bat and in the field and in
tight places, his GOODNESS and judg
ment have pulled the team together
and they have wiggIed out of some
bad holes. 1t is hoped by the fans
that VIM. Kelley will be retained to
take charge of the team next season.

and admirations were heard from all
sides at the splendid array OF flowers
of every description including some OF
the most beautiful asters, nasturtiums:
sweet peas, pansies, cosmos, stocks,
and many other beautiful flowers rails

vegetables were in themselves most in

adept in skiIIful gardening. Many of
the vegetables shown have rever been
known to be grown in this vicinity
Among them were sweet potatoes, but
ter mangos, peanuts, grape tomatoes,

GRAND RAPIDS J
FOX LAKE /

Grand Rapids won the last game of
the season from Fox Lake by the
score of 5 to l. Neither side scored
until the fifth when a combination of
three errors, a passed ball, stolen
base, two bases on balls, a single
and two bagger resulted in five runs
for Grand Rapids. The visitors got
their lonely run in the seventh An
error, stolen base and a single doing
the work Nelson struck out five of
the opposing players and allowed one
walk, three scattered hits were also
gathered off of him. Wheeler for the
Fox Lake team struck out four, gave
two bases on balls and two singles
and two, two baggers were picked
from his offerings Grand Rapids madt
three errors and the visitors made
nine.
Feature plays were quite numerous
Grand Rapids players starred in sew
eral. In the first Kelly and Jesse ex-
ecuted fast double play, another
double play was pulled off in the
third and in the eighth a sensational
double play was made with Kelly and
Talbot in the stellar role Talbot
made a sensational catch of a hard
hit ball in the sixth by running back
of third and pulling down what woulC
have been a safe hit. A small num-
ber Of people were in attendance, the
inclement weather probably had some
thing to do with the smallness OF
the Assem- blage. The game was not
as good an exhibition of base ball
as the game on the previous day,
with the exception of the fifth when
the Fox Lake balloon went up, the
game was high grade. 1t is seldom as
perfect an exhibition of the national
pastime is seen in any city, big or
little, as the Tuesday game. The
Fox Lake players are strong in their
praise of the courteous treatment
they have received here, especially
after the rowdy, robbing Stevens
Point crowds and umpire. People who
| witnessed the last game in Stevens
Point say that a ball was batted
foul by twenty feet and the batter
was allowed a fair hit and made a
home run on it. No wonder Stevens
Point would not dare play the Grand
Rapids team. That poor apology of a
| sportsman who is managing the team
at the Point and who wrote such a
| kid letter to the management here
| knows we'll enough that he couldn' t
win with his aggregation from
the Grand Rapids team. Now you will
hear him let out yell and probably
want to play because our team is dis
banded for the season. One thing the
Grand Rapids team can point to with
pride and that is, they have won e
very game they have won, on merits,
of the teams engaged and not had
them jobbed to them by an umpire
and rotten kid play.

Indeed, vegetables of every kind
and description were shown, and a
great many visitors declared that
they had visited many county fairs
that could not compare with this dis
play of flowers and vegetables.
The flowers raised from bulbs,
such as gladio1us, dahlias, ETC., were
truly magnificent and held in them
selves a glory all their own.
Our two local florists, Mrs. W. l..
Scott, and Mrs. Kate 'Pepin, each
had fine artistically arranged dis
plays of potted plants, cut flowers,
set pieces, ETC., which added greatly
to the general exhibit.

T. E. Mullen, Mrs C. A Hatch, Mrs.
Jno. Alpine, Miss Mary Brahany, Mrs
Guy o. Babcock, Mrs. .. D. Conway
and Mrs A L. Fontaine, are much en-
couraged by the interest shown byt
the young people in making this first
show a success.
1t may be said that this first show
was somewhat in the form of an ex
pertinent, in that it was difficult to
know what to expect But the fact
that this first venture was taken up
so generally by the children, assures
the inevitable success of the shows
to follow, spreading out and becom
ing better each year.
The displays entered by the adults
Of course were splendid and did much
to encourage and inspire the young
people. They are to be complimented
upon the interest they have shown
in helping the young people along.

urday a. M, by the following judges:

FOR BANKING LAW CHANGES
Several Bills Result of Recent
Disclosures Here.

Albany. Feb. 22-Several bills making
important amendments TO the banking law
and carrying out the recommendations Of
the State Banking Department, with
view 10 strengthening the law. as a result
OF the recent disclosures in New York
were introduced to-day by Senator Cronin
and Asscmblyu1an NJ. =. C'Neil. chairmen
Of the committees on banks.
One bill amends the law relative to re-
ports. According to a memorandum issued
by the Banking Department, IL makes no
material change In the requirements of
that section. but remedies certain ambigui-
ties OF expression on account Of which the
District Attorney of the County OF New
York has found considerable difficulty in
framing indictments for perjury and con-
ducting prosecutions Of officers verifying
false or deceptive reports. The amend
ments we're suggested by the indictment
clerk Of the District Attorneys Office.
Another bill provides IL an officer, d.
rector. clerk or agent Of any corporation
under Chapter q OF the Laws Of 1909 shall
own or control a majority stock of any
other corporation. a loan to that corpora
tion shall be considered as a loan 20 said
officer. director, clerk or agent.
third measure requires that reports
must be made to executive committees Of
banks Of overdrafts, as well as loans and
discounts The Banking Department says
this has been suggested by discoveries
made In connection with New York City
banking Institutions recently closed by the
state.
Another measure requires every trustee
Of a savings nix 10 take an oath each
year that during the preceding year he has
diligently and honestly administered the
affairs OF such bank and has not know
insly violated or willingly permitted to be
violated any OF the provisions OF law sp-
piicable to such corporation.
An amendn mt 10 the penal law is also
proposed making It a misdemeanor for
the intentional concealment from direc-
tors and trustees Of bank of advances.
Including overdrafts other than discounts
or loans between the regular meetings Il

Another proposed amendment includes
trustees under Section . of the penal law

Department. 10 difficulties previously ex
perienced in proving that a director will
