The Scotland ball team went TO

Of rain, but at that time the score
was 2 to l in favor of Scotland. On
the following day the luck of the

them and they lost. The Scotland

on Sunday ball so we suppose they
were at a disadvantage when they

!hs asSSssaas picnic by tho Iowa
and Illinois Picnic Association was
held in hangers park near Olivet
yesterday. The day was beautiful
and SO was the park which is an
ideal place for such a gathering.
It was the intention to hold the
literary part of ths program in the
morning but owing to the fact that
the crowd was 80 slow in gathering
nothing was done until after the
picnic dinner.
The exercises were presided over
by the president, MIR. George Han
ma. The program consisted of mu-
sic by a trio consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. /. "a. Johnston and Rev. C.E.
Wilcox; Recitations by Lucille
Johnston and Frank Mitchell
ias by the trio An address by
Jas. L. Meighen Song by Gene
We've Metzner; Recitation by
Ralph Davis, and an address by
P. A. Bliss. The address by Mr..
Meighen was an able presentation
of The Westward Movement. He
pictured the growing supremacy of
the West, its industrial and educa-
tional institutions, and made some
apt suggestions in regard to the
need of loyalty which must be ex-
ercised if we hope to develop and
maintain the prosperity of our
local institutions.
Following the program the bust
ness meeting of the society was
held for the election of officers.
George Dunmire was elected pres
ident, and Jas. L.. MeigheD secre-
tary and treasurer. The great event
OF the day was then pulled off in
tue shape of a ball game in which
the Iowa and Illinois boys battl,d
for the supremacy. For Il Time it

First Norwich Man to Belong to

Sectional interest in the baseball season Of the two big leagues was stirred to new points of interest in the past year through the achievements of Connie Alack's Philadelphia Athletics of the American league, winners of the worlds championship. after making a inc race for the lead in their own league.
 Because Daniel r. Murphy of this city was playing right field for the Athletics and showing one of his finest seasons in heavy and timely batting the games 0C the Athletics were fol- lowed closely through the season. and when Murphy capped his seasons rec ord by batting for .353 in the worlds series. being responsible for more runs than the Chicago team scored in the five games that settled the champion ship, the home fans decided that nOth- ing was too good for Murphy. on his return home he was given a present and such a reception and parade as has rarely been accorded any Norwich man. He is the first resident of this city to belong Co a team that won the worlds series.

Norwich and Sterling Turned Out Championship Teams for Silver Cups.

Three association football teams representing Norwich. Sterling and Plainfeld. played out a short but suc- Sessful season. in which strong teams were developed. made up largely of those who had played the game in England but q number of new men were introduced to the sport and made good.
 To add interest to the sport, the en- thusiasts in Sterling offered a hand some silver cup to be played for, and a league was formed. The Norwich team. under the management of Reid Mcintyre. took the championship and tle cup, celebrating its victorious sea- son with a banquet. This was for the spring season of the year.
 Tn the fall of 1910 the same teams again formed a league. with silver cup offered. Sterling turned out the championship aggregation, and re- Ceived the cup.
