ing played of which but one was lost
However, the losing of that one TO
Albion put Alma in third place in the
intercollegiate and showed Albion up
20 second, with Olivet at the top.
The other games were of less import
ance. Monday the Alma Highs were
taken into camp in a practice game
with Lindley pitching for the college
The final score was IL TO 0, Tuesday
the Northern State Normal school
wasted two pitchers in a useless eff
fort at holding the Maroon and
Cream the count at the end Of the
game being If 10 0. In this game
Brilmyer was at last given his reward
by being allowed to pitch the entire
game, and how we'll he succeeded the
score shows. He allowed but six
hits. His support was almost perfect
mp to the ninth inning, when there
was considerable juggling Wednes-
day the St. Louis Highs gave Coach
Grady's men another practice, with a
final score Of II TO ?. Myers and
b ilmycr each pitched half OF this
game Thursday afternoon the squad
went to Albion when they lost TO the
fast Albion team by a score Of 9 to 7,
but Saturday they walloped the Ka-
zooites at Kalamazoo 70 l. A sum-
mary Of the weeks work is: Mon
day, Alma Il, High School 0; Tues
day, Alma II, Mt Pleasant 0; We'd
nesday. Alma II, St. Louis High
School .; Friday, Alma :, Albion 0;
and Saturday, Alma :, Kalamazoo /.
The game with Mt Pleasant was an
excellent exhibition of baseball After
the numerous disasters of the week
before. Coach Grady decided upon a
sweeping change in the line up. Da-
kin was taken in from first and the
pitcher box and used behind the bat.
Not that Dake', work in the box was
not satisfactory but he is OF more
service with the BIG mitt and the pow
crful wing mapped the ball down
To second i'm great style and viii see
a. it that few opponents get 10 second
without q right TO- But the change
/ that did the spectators good was %
see Brilmyer working like veteran
I'm the box. "Shinola' has been work
ing hard for two years. but hitherto
has not been given an opportunity TO
show his metal i'm a game that count
ed The young-tcr held the Normal
sluggcrS to six scattered hits and aid
ed by good support prevented their
scoring Outside of the general swat
fest of the Maroon and Cream by
which they forced Mcnamara to give
way to Raymond in the sixth inning,
and the good fielding the game was
not spectacular Rogers robbed a
Normaltc OF a hit in the ninth whcr
he grabbed a pop fly bare-handed.
Friday at Albion Alma lost . 10 z
Meyers started pitching but the Meth
odists chased him from the slab in the
first inning. Brimyer replaced him
and played good ball for four innings
when he lost control and Myers had
to relieve him again Dakin was the
star at bat, getting a double and a
triple. Call and Brilmyer both got
two hits in four times at bat The
Maroon scored one in the third by
Funk's error, and in the fifth Funk
lost his head and threw a bingle OF
Calls to first instead OF placing the
sphere to Lee where he could have
shut ont two runs I'm the seventh
l Dakin landed on Emmons for three
ba-ger scoring Brilmyer and Rogers
Albion played the best game OF the
season and the fielding was excellent
In the fifth Brown scored second OF
Funk single, Lee on an error anc
Funk by a wild pitch. He landed two
in the seventh and one by an error il
the eighth. Score:
