GRAND RAPIDS
BALL TEAM WINS

Grand Rapids won the second game
of the series played at Fox Lake Mon,
day by q score Of 9 to 3. The Rap
ids batters knocked the famous Dodge
ont of the box in the sixth inning.
Fahrner pitched for the Rapids and
had guilt edge support. With the
exception of one man, not a Fox Lake
player reached second until the nintI
inning. The game was a shut out
until the last half of the ninth when,
the Rapids team let up and allowed
Fox Lake to count three. Nelson did
some star playing. He scooped up
a fly OFF his shoe strings after a
long run and started a fast double
play. He also stole third from first
working a fade away slide into third.
The boys are trying to get a game
with some team for Sunday

STEVENS POINT
REFUSES TO PLAY
(contributed.)

Since the disasterous game at
MarshfieId it seems that the manage
at Stevens Point has decided that in
order to save their own reputation as
a winning ball club and that of their
famous pitcher, Cy Young, they must
cut Grand Rapids from their schedule
Twice since the to 1 game, has
Stevens Point promised Grand Rap
ids games and has on both occasions
cancelled them.
The boys here stuck together on
the assurance from Stevens Point
that they would give them two games
and now they seem to have forgotten
their promise Even though the
Point has hired the local shortstop,
Felsch by giving him more money
than the boys here could afford I'M
der their own management the lo-
Gals are more than willing and an
xious to arrange a series of games
with the Point. Does it seem just the
sportsmaulike way for the Point to
act in refusing to play US?

500 & Gray Road Heads Plan
ming Prospective Visit Here.

It is officially known that the 500

eye glasses focused upon Mukwonago
In a prospective visit. Both new ex-
tensiye lines viii be in operation
within two years. They are hoverins
above in their aeropIanes looking for
suitable place to aIight.
The above time taken from the Muk
Wonaga Chief is a revival Of the 500

ids. Just what information the Chief
has on this subject is not known to
the writer but the above would indi-
cate that this line is still under con-
temptation by the 500 officials.

In the dining room, objects very

Light refreshments were then
served on the porches, where a most
