Leland and Gray IS, clawson- H Hamilton
Commercial College ~.

Leland and Gray seminary, in the first
baseball game of the season on the. home
grounds, defeated the Clawson- Hami-
ton commercial college team of Brattle-
boro Saturday Is to IL in contest
which was enjoyed by a fair sized au-
dience. The game was well played with
the exception of two loose innings by
each side. Goodrich was effective until
the fourth inning, when he lost control,
gave two bases on balls, was touched
for five hits, and aided by errors by
others on the team the visitors scored
seven runs. Howe, who went into the
box for the seminary in the fifth in
ming, pitched great ball until the ninth,
when he became wild, passing three
men, and these passes with errors gave
the commercial college boys four more
runs Howe's pitching, however was
a feature, as he struck out II men in
five innings. Hall for the visitors pitch
ed good game and held on fairly well
until the end. The clubs are evenly
matched and when they play again May
is close contest may be expected. The

$4,000 Homeless In Mississippi Valley.
GRANGE BLOCK

A great flood on the Mississippi is no
short-lived affair like the fury of the
lesser streams. For month now the
flood has been raging, and the case
grows worse day by day. A fortnight
ago there were $4,000 people homeless
and destitute along the lower river.
Now the number has increased to 49,
900 and the breaking of more levees Fri
day and the day before has opened still
further areas to inundation, while rain
and snow over the headwaters Friday
gave promise of a fresh rise later in the
month. 1t is very great and wide
spread catastrophe which has reduced a
vast multitude of people to absolute
restitution. Their lands are under
water, their homes have in many cases.
been destroyed, and they have saved mo-
more than If they had been shipwrecked.'
The government is doing its best to
supply shelter and rations, but when the
emergency has passed there will still be
need of a great relief fund to help small
farmers to make fresh start. and the
whole country should contribute gener-
ously.
