you going to back pedal now when

And what fat part have you cast

half way inclined to let Uncle Peter

goods right here. Say! this whole
scheme hits me just about right 1

laughs, and, besides, doing that fool
ish old man big favor. Say, John,
can you catch me shining old Uncle
Peters shoes and steering him on to
a sure thing, eh, what? It's a pipe,
that's all it is"
Bunch's enthusiasm soon dispelled
all my doubts and in a minute we
were into the details of our makeup.
Presently Ikey Schwartz called as per
agreement with Bunch and we went
over the whole plan. Bunch had
enough dough in the overalls to
square things in case anybody caught
Ikey with long shot, but the latter
promised to make the prices so unin-
viting to outsiders that there would
be nothing doing around the bazaar,
except for Uncle Peter.
1t looked like cinch trimmed with
pansies.
All we had to do was to coax Uncle
Peter up to the receiving teller and
hold him there till he had headache
in the bank account. Then we'd lead
him out in vacant lot somewhere,
preach him few lines on the evils
of the betting ring, and give him
back his faded cush,

unselfsh efforts we had pulled him
out of the clutches of the Grabheimer

Martha from the distress of having
to go to work in cigar factory in
her old age.
Sure thing We were two good
boys to do this kindly deed.

St. LOUIS VICTORIOUS
Over Alma High School in Second
liamG 27...0

Alma high school had another IN
glorious day upon the gridiron last
Friday when St. Louis defeated them
the second time this year by a score
OF 27-O. Earlier in the fall the locals
met their own rivals on Davis Field
and Jared much worse. This time
they journeyed to st. Louis with the
better result OF holding St. Louis to
a lower score.
Out-weighed, out-played but not
out-gamed, Alma fought stubbornly
throughout the entire contest and it
was only toward the close Of the Sc
cond half that the game became
walk-away for St. Louis. Contrary
to all form shown this year by Alma,
the boys started in the first hall TO
play football. At the end of that
time the score stood with : in St.
Louis column
The second half was disastrous.
The heavy team from St. Louis had
worn the locals down and scored
three touchdowns during the period.
This game is the first that Alma has
played in three weeks. The weather
has been such during the past week
that there was little chance to prac-
tice and the boys were badly out of
condition Berry and Mann starred
for Alma.

been chosen to referee the Detroit

Cook is a recent addition to the
ranks OF football officials in the
state, but he has already been rec
ognized as one of the most competent
men in the state.
Two seasons ago Bob was con-
sidered the greatest college fullback
in the state. His punting especially
was an important factor in the win
ming OF games for the Presbyterians.
Just before the football season OF

NORTH THREW RICE
Best Wrestling Bout OF Years Pulled
Off Tuesday Eve.

Clyde North took two fails out of
three from Farmer Rice of Port HUI
ron last Tuesday evening at the Real
ty Opera House, but young Mr..
North has his hands full with the re-
suit that the match was the most
exciting and tastes ever pulled off
in Alma.
The men started to work the min
ute their feet touched the mat and for
two hours and half there was some
thing doing every minute. North
secured the first fall in forty-seven
and hall minutes using a combined
scissors and toe hold. After a ten
minutes rest Rice came back and
made things SO lively that North's
shoulders were pinned to the mat in
seventeen minutes. the standing toe
hold doing the business.
Ihe third fall was the most excit-
ing OF all. The men started to work
very carefully, each ketping away
from the other during the first FIVE
minutes. Finally they got together
North was particularly careful to be
on the offensive for the Rice all but
had the purse number OF times.
Just as the time-keeper was about To
call the twenty-hfth minute. North
slipped a scissor hold on Rice and
the little farmers shoulders went TO
the mat for the count.
North wrcstled his usual careful.
clean match while Farmer Rice was
aggressive and full of fire the whole
match through. He made up for
North's greater strength by his quick
ness and greater knowledge of the
game. At the end of the bout Rice
asked for return match with North
and December 3rd was selected for
the date
Duff Pierce sprung a surprise in
he preliminary when he threw young !
Rolfe in six minutes. 1t was rather
a lucky fall but Mr.. Pierce showed
great speed and had the edge on
Rolfe all the way. After the main
bout, North took on Frank LaBurt
II this city and threw him in ten
minutes. La Burt is an old hand at
he game and made things interest
ng while it lasted.
