Myers shut the Albion men out,
holding to two hits, while the locals
hit Emmons, the star SALESMAN of
the Methodists, all over the lot and
scored eight runs. Here is little
dope. Albion recently defeated
Olivet, 1873. What would the local
college team do to Olivet?
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Rhodes en-
tertained the students of the college
hailing from Elk Rapids, Omena
Traverse City, and Old Mission

evening was spent at various games

entertained the guests Light re-

pleasant time was had by all present
The local high school team crossed
bats with the team from Lansing
high school last Saturday and in a
we'll played game were defeated So
The game was one of the most ex-
citing and best exhibitions of ball
the locals have played this year. Ian
sing has an especially strong team,
having defeated some of the best
high school teams in the southern
part of the state.
The rapidly increasing business of
the D. W. Robinson store has COM
PEELED Mr. Robinson to secure more
help. Miss Mcintosh, formerly en-

from Riverdale last Friday in Mr..
Leonard's auto-truck The gentlemen
came purposely to see the Alma
Albion game. When the game was
about half over with they left in dis
gust for the team from the Methodist
school was not affording enough op-
position for the local team.
Rain stopped the NJ A. C.-Alma
game in the third inning. The locals
were ahead, 10. Myers was pitching
fine ball and from the showing made
by the teams in the three innings,
victory for Alma looked certain. A
number of the stores and business
places closed for the game. There
was a large crowd in attendance, a
number Of people coming from out
of town. 1t was a disappointed bunch
of fans that left the grounds when
Umpire Ellsworth called the game
off.
The Alma members of the Ithaca
Commandery drove over to Ithaca
in autos last Friday night to attend
the meeting of the lodge. Messrs.
Caple, Montigel and Rowland were
the gentlemen to furnish the cars.
All three got over and also managed
to return but that was about all The
roads were washed out in places while
in other spots the mud and clay was
so deep that walking proved better
than riding From the reports of the
ride, in all probability the trip will
not soon be forgotten.
Messrs. L. H. Ballou and H. f.
Lovejoy recently purchased the
Boardman studio over Ellison's gro

Cadillac where he ran a studio for the
past year and Mr.. Lovejoy's former
home was at Muskegon, at which
place he was in similar work. The
young men will make speciality of
outside work and the finishing of am

entire new line of stock which they
expect in the near future.
