Resolutions Adopted at Confer
ence of Baptist Church
Sunday.

Whereas since last we met for
worship, our house of Worship has
been providentially destroyed by
fire, to which we humbly and sub
missively bow, knowing that He
doeth all things well and whereas
the brethren of the other denomina-
tions in our town have kindly offer
ed US the use of their respective
houses of worship. but we find it
expedient to worship in the college
auditorium because it is there that
we can find accommodation for our
Sunday school. Therefore be it re-
solved:
lat: That to our brethren who
have been 80 kind and generous to
rs we extend our sincerest thanks
and appreciation for their brother
" kindness and shall always cherish
the memory of the same.
2ni: That We .xlenu ~ the board
of trustees of the college our thanks
for the use of the college auditori-
um.
3rd; That we extend our thanks
to the citizens of Edg eheId general
ly for aiding in saving 80 much of
our church furniture from the des-
tructive flames.
4th: That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes.

The governor of Maine was at the
school and was telling the pupils
what the people of different states
were called.
Now, he said, the people from
Indiana are called 'Hoosiers,' the
people from North Carolina Tai

we know as "Michiganders" and

IL 9T97t.S the most >Bmmodious
CHURCH in town. The corner stone
of the church was laid In the year
1889, the sermon being preached
in the Presbyterian church by DR..
E. G. Dargan. A few months later
our beloved Dr.. Gwaltney came to
preach the dedication sermon, and
it was seen then that our house was
not anything like large enough and
now we had outgrown our quarters
again and while we grieve over the
loss of our beautiful edifce more
than over the financial loss, we
bow to the dispensation of Provl-
dence, and feel that His ways are
not our ways and that out of the
ashes will arise fair structure
which will be more adapted to our
needs and in which we can better
serve our Lord. Following is list
of names of the constituent men,

new YORK MONEY
HELD FOR WHILE
Commission Wants to See
Contracts of Giant Play
er-Authors.

New York. Oct. 13.-Whep the
New York Giants applied to the ma
tional commission yesterday for the
losers share of the worlds series re-
reipts they did not get the money.
They were informed that the COM
mission wished. first to sec the con-
tracts of the player-authors who are
members of the Giants SO that it
might be assured their engagements
to report the worlds series we're en-
tered into before September 81.
Before the start of the series last
week tho national commission laid
down the rule that no baseball PLAYER
or manager might write for the news
papers during n future worlds Sc
RIGS. 1t was decided. however, that
players who had contracts dated be-
fore September % might go ahead
with their writing this year. Halt a
dozen members of the Giants wrote
newspaper articles on the series dur
ing the play of last week. Now the
commission wants to inspect their
contracts before it turns over the. Sc
ries money to the men Of the team.
1t was declared last Monday that
those p~layer-authors who could. no,
produce bona-tide contracts signed be-
fore h date specified would he pen
allied. but it did not the
penalty.
AS a matter of fact no penalty is
likely to be inflicted and tho Giants
share of approximately s..16e each
in the series money probably will be
paid to them in short order practical
~ intact. as it is believed all the writ
ting men among them can produce
properly attested contracts ante-dat-
ing the commissions announcement
of its ban upon player authorship.

ATHLETICS ARE

Strong Pitching Amazed the

Captain.

gone. the Giants r to blame for 1t.
because they played below their
standard. But a great team won the
championship when the Athletics beat
US. We found them to be twenty per
mi stronger than we had anticipate
ed.
What surprised the New York team
most. was the great, pitching that we
saw In the series. We had expected.
weak twirling. had. hoped to win
through this. Instead. the Athletics
twirlers o%utclasseL our with one ex-.
ception, and that. was Mathewson. :
Matty the Best. J
In spite Of his defeat Saturday, I
still maintain that he is the greatest,
pitcher in the game. With as good
support he would have beaten Plank
Saturday, or at least would. have tied
the Giants team. J. cannot afford to.
I am as much to blame for the defeat
as any else. because an error Of
mine was instrumental in the Athletics
scoring their second and third runs.
McC;raw Takes It Hard. :
1t was n sad scene in the Giants
club house after the game. McGraw
went into his private room in the club
house tand v said a word to any
Of the players. There was no use in
fighting after Saturdays battle. be-
cause It was all over. we all felt sor-
ry for Mathewson. He had been the
n man who had shown the sort OF
ball which should have o The rest
of US. felt that We had played a bad
game. and. deserved to lose.
OF course, We had injured players
which hurt us. but I do not want to
hide our defeat behind this, because I
do not see how we could have won
anyway against the sort of baseball
hat we faced. We were weak in cen
ter field because of the injury to Snod-
grass. our regular center fielder.
Shafer did the best he could out there.
and did not handle, 1t like a veterar.,,
His worst. break was in the first
game when Schang's hit got away for
three bases when he Judged 1t badly.
MerkIe in Poor Shape.
Merkle played through; most OF the
series with a lame ankle and could
not cover the ground that he would.
ordinarily. The twisted ankle result
ed in his losing a foul in Fridays
game which was costly to us. The
injury to Meyers also hurt our.chances.
because Mclean, while he caught and,
hit we'll, could not handle Tesreau and
used to them. from working behind
the bate with, both of these pitchers
in the box all season.
Deserved to Lose. .+
But, as I said, there is no use try.
ing to alibi ourselves out of the defeat
by telling back on our injured regu-
lars. We played bad ball. with the
exception Of Mathewson, away below
our regular form and deserved to lose.
