BASE BILL GAME

Two pitchers from the University
of Michigan faced each other last Fri
day in the last home game of the local
Hub League season and Alma pro-
ceeded to put crimp in the sails of
the Mt. Pleasant leaders by defeating
them to and incidentally jumping
TO within a half game of the league
leadership. Baribeau was on the
mound for the locals, and twirling
his sixth game in eleven days was not
as effective as he otherwise would have
been, yielding ten safe hits for Is
bases, but kept them so we'll scat
tered that, except for errors after two
men wore ont in three diFernt innings
would have been found found for only
three runs.
Alma secured only three hits off of
Mcnamara, but these coming with a
couple walks and two errors gave AL
ma six runs in the fourth and drove
Mcnamara from the box. Nelson
went to his relief and held the locals
scoreless from the fourth session on.
Alma's other two runs came in the
| first inning when she took advantage
of two walks and an error.
An error and two hits gave the
leaders two in the first. In the fifth
McNamara's double and Hoolihan's
home run, two more counted. In the
seventh, with two down, Helmar was
safe on Baribeau's wild heave' and two
hits sent him to the countying station.
In the eighth, with one down, Mt.
Pleasant filled the sacks, and with the
heavy end of the batting list up,
things looked black for the locals.
Grounds hit what ordinarily would
have been a triple, but "bonehead
play" by Mcnamara, who was on first,
saved the game for Alma and made
the hit go for single. In passing Sec
ond base he failed to touch second, a
duplicate of the famous Merkel "bone-
head" which lost the Giants a pen
nant in 1908, and the act was taken in
by the umpire and Second Basemen
Rogers of the local team. When the
ball was played Rogers touched it to
the second sack and Mcnamara was
out, only two runs counting, giving
Mt. Pleasant, z. In the ninth they died
easy. Lane, Wiseman and Rogers
played excellently in the field. .

of the thunder bird" by the discovery
on the topmost edge of the timber line

ptarmigan bird, frozen to death at u
solitary height.
The thunder bird" legend has long
been regarded as gospel by the Black
foot Indians of Glacier park reserva

Since the discovery Of the strange bird
frozen to death the Indians have been
lamenting the fact as IN i'll omen.
