All indications point to a large at
tendance this year at Alma college
From the time President Blaisdell
began his administration every effort
has been made by the President and
Prof. A. =. Cook to bring to Alma
more students than has ever before
been at Alma. The call for rooms
at the ladies' dormitory, Wright Hall,
has never been equalled. AT the pres
ent time there are only eight rooms
left, those on the fourth floor having
been signed for with the rest, while
last year the rooms on the upper
floor were not used to any great ex-
tent. Further than this, many of the
old students who are certain to re-
turn have not secured rooms. The
rooms at Pioneer Hall have gone
slower than at the other hall, but
this is due to the fact that it has
been the tendency of late years for
the young men to room outside of
the hall. Inquiries at the rooming
houses reveal the fact that most of
the rooms are taken, which is quite
unusual at this season of the year.
The quarterly bulletin was sent
out the first of the week Instead of
printing the customary twenty-five
hundred, six thousand has been is
sued. Four thousand of these will
go to the high school graduates in
this and other states. President Blais-
dell has sent in one thousand names
that he has obtained during the sum-
mer One thousand bulletins will be
sent to the alumni, old students, and
friends OF the college.
Those who are especially interested
in football will be pleased to know
that Alma's prospects for the cham
pionship this year are even better
than two years ago when the Maroon
and Cream boys won the champion
ship from Olivet. With but few ex-
ceptions all of last years team will
be back. A number of good high
school men have signified their inten-
ton of coming The coac hing this
year will be looked after by Coach
w. c. Bleamaster, who comes from
Carroll College, Wis, whose teams
under his direction piled UP cham
pionships in football and defeated
every college team in that state with
the exception of the University of
Wisconsin.

With Allen in the box for the To-

easily defeated the Clare city team
last Friday afternoon at Davis Field
by the score of rs, The game was
listless affair and only featured now
and then by some fine fielding and
good pitching by Allen with men on

neighbors' chickens. The local boys
put over three runs, During the
game Clare managed to- get three
runs over while Alma added four to
their lead Occasionally bit OF
sharp fielding would cut off run
and put little life into the game and
made it resemble wee bit of the
national pastime
Had it not been for the umpiring,

To day the locals meet the famous

there will be many equal-suffrage

if a woman can play baseball she can
play the game of politics.

brate-Alma Defeats Mt. Pleasant

In connection with the ice cream
social given by the members of St.
Mary's parish, Father Mulvey staged
baseball game at Davis Field be-
tween the Knights of Columbus and
a team picked from the young men
of St. Mary's church. With a mighty
batting rally in the seventh inning,
the local boys came out victorious
in one of the best games played on
the field this year.
The rally in the seventh, the pitch
ing of Bell for Alma and the fielding
of Eddie Mahr together with the
strenuous roofing of Father Mulvey
were the features of the game. Mt.
Pleasant scored one in the first and
second innings but after that Bell
gave them but a single hit. They
were able to get only three in the
entire contest. Time and again dur
ing the game, Mahr by sensational
runs, cut off hits that ordinarily
would have been safe.
With Mt Pleasant two runs to
the good in the seventh inning, the
locals opened up the inning with
clean hit followed by four more which
coupled with couple of errors netted
them five runs.
