HIGH SCHOOL LOSE LAST
Secretary of State

The basket ball team of the Alma
high school lost the last game of the
season of 1901 TO the fast Grand
Rapids high school FIVE on the college
court Thursday evening, by the score
of % to 10 The game had direct
bearing on the championship of the
state, in that since Grand Rapids won
she has right TO challenge the Sagi-
nav high school. However, the Sag
inaw men showed up much better on
the local floor than did the Furniture
City boys.
The local five showed lack of prac-
tice. The game was almost a post
season game for them, with the re-
suit that they were not so fast as
usual However had they played all
through the game with the vim they
displayed in the latter part Of the last
half they would surely have won.
For Alma Krcss put up the best all
around game This is the last high
school game for over half OF the team,

THE FINAL SETTLEMENT
The Story Doesn't Go Ahead of

tended to Seats on Sale March lS

The Final Settlement" is hardly
a suitable title for the play of that
name, which will be presented at the
The Realty Opera House, on Tuesday
March p, for the reason that the
piece is far and above what the name
would indicate 1t is'rt story of
border warfare, wild west gun play.
or even New York's shady life, but
a good story of a condition of affairs
known in all walks of life, the eleva-
ton OF a mans millions over the
honor, love and respect, and the old,
old story of an infatuation for the
millions without the real feeling of
devotion, just such a story as recently
startled the country in New York
TO his lofty position by an honest,
high life, the story OF man elevated
to his lofty position by an honest,
plain and sincere woman whose place
in his heart is taken by the fash of
frills and feathers or an actress
whose charms ensnare him in their
meshes until "The Final Settlement
when as a wreck, without fortune or
the position that was his he learns
how empty is such glamor after all
The play is as pretty a piece as has
been dramatized for quite a while.
One OF the very best features Of
it is the thorough manner in which
it is staged, all of the small details
being carefully attended to, and it
is a play which will attract bigger
audiences every time it is produced,
for while it holds to perhaps the
harsher facts of real life, it neverthe-
less polishes them TO a suitable de-
gree and holds the attention Of an
audience completely absorbed until
the end. The details are all ar
ranged in a satisfactory way and the
story doesn't go ahead of itself the
tale unfolding in an easy, natural way
to make it better in each act until
the close, when its real moral be-
comes apparent It's a truly good
story and it will be truly we'll told
by the company.

President D. O. Harton and Secre-

the annual school election to be held

day, May 20. The terms of three of
the six members of the board will eX-

j. Bullion, and the short term mem
Der is S. G.. Smith, who was elected by
the board to fill the vacancy occasion

Besides the election for school dl.
rectors. the voters will also be calleo
upon to vote on the rate of taxation
for district school purposes, and on

COACH D|SBANDS
NORMAL Team

On account of the discovery That
three of his players were ineligible on
account of scholarship and attendance
deficiencies to compete in intercolleg-
late games, Coach w. 0. Wilson an
nounced this morning that the State
Normal baseball team had been dis
banded for the season and no further
intercollegiate games will be played
this year. The team had several ad-
dtional games scheduled on nome
grounds, including two with LENDER
son next week and two with Hendrix,
and also expected to play return
g4mes with Arkansas at Batesvllie.
Henderson College, however, had al
ready postponed their games until
after May 20, and Coach Wilson no
titled Manager NJ. J. Russell of the
Hendrix team today that he regretted
to have to call off the remainder OF the
local intercollegiate series.
AS the deficit incurred would be too
great for only two games, the Hen
drix-Henderson games will also be
cancelled unless it is necessary to de
eide the championship, and today S
game with Arkansas will probably be
the last intercollegiate game OF the
season here.
