AT the High School building, Thurs
day morning, meeting was called to
organize an Athletic Association-in the

Secretary, Anna Berry
Yell Master, Donald Porter,
The athletic prospects this year are
very bright. The foot ball team is un-
usually strong and under the coaching
of Mr.. Smith should win every game
this season. Many people object to
foot ball, hut if they would look over
the rules or witness a game of today
they would soon be satisfied that foot
ball is not the rough and tumble game
Of years past.
The athletic games this year will be
with Charlevoix, Boyne City, Man
celona, Bellaire, Kalkaska and Lake
City. The foot ball games will be play.
ed within the county. The first two
games will be played at East Jordan on
the grounds north of the High
chool Luilding.
LIST season the East Jordan high
school was defeated at CharievOiX by a
score we don't wish to mention. We
hope 10 return the compliment this
Saturday with interest and we hope all
good citizens will be present to witness
clean game. The prices vii. be
tY'anty-fve cents for adults and fifteen
cents for school children--and don't
forget that it takes money to run the
athletics Of the E. j. H. S.

BATTING SLUMP IS VERY
SERIOUS, BUT WHAT Is IT D.?

around five hits a game for four
straight contests as they did in the
series
Maps Suffered Severe Slump.
The Cleveland club OF the American
league suffered from a number Of seri-
Gus ailments last summer. among
them being several batting sIumps
One of the severest slumps that the
club bumped into happened during tn y
first week in June II is the exception
for a team to be let down without a
hit in nine innings during the entire
season, but the Cleveland club Ear,
rowly escaped that fate three times
inside Of five days. On May 81 Joe
Benz of the Chicago club beat Cleve-
land 6 to |, the Maps not getting any
thing that looked like hit Two er-
rors on the part of the Chicago inield
enabled the Maps to cross the Mate
Two days later, June 2. Wylie Taylor
OF the st. Louis Browns shut out
Cleveland, 3 to 0, allowing only enc
hit For eight innings not safe
drive was made, but Turner opened
the ninth with a single, spelling Tay-
u.
Scott BANKED Cleveland. 2 to 0. He
allowed only one hit, drive by Jack
son that fell safe. Only one other man
reached first, Lieboh, on a pass. Not
a Cleveland player reached second, as
both Jackson and Liebold died steal
ing.
Batting slumps are mighty serious
for a star or team as
whole. Nothing makes a team look
worse than lack of hitting power;
makes a club look better than
the apparent ability to get base hii
when most needed. individuals and
teams will continue TO have batting
slumps as long as the game is played,
managers will continue ito offer such
an excuse for failure to win. but the
cause of these batting .slumps will re-
main as big mystery asf.ever.

With big JEFF Tesreau pitching a
two-hit game and his team mates
banging the ball to all corners OF the
lot, Bill James of St Louis and king
Cole of New York came in for an
awful lacing Saturday afternoon. Only
a fair-sized crowd was on hand at
Moiliili field to witness the slaughter.
1t was great chance for the Ma
tionals to fatten their batting aver
ages, and Dolan. Carey. Alexander and
Snodgrass didn't overlook the oppor.
tunity. The Nationals played errorless
ball, while the Americans were
charged with three blunders. two OF
them on the same play. 1t was
straightaway smuggling, then, that won
the game.
Both pitchers got by the first frame
in good shape, but In the second both
sides got a run across. The Ameri-
cans, up first, opened with a fly to
center by Hoblitzel, which Dolan
speared. Then Chapman hit sharply
to right and Moriarity followed with
a clean two-bagger to right center.
scoring "Chappy." These were the
only two hits of the game and the
fact that they were punched kept the
Americans from a shut-out.
James started his own troubles in
the second by hitting Fletcher with
one man out. Byrne knocked slow
infield grounder which James gath
cred in and threw so wild to first that
not only was the runner safe but
Fletcher took an extra base, landing
on third. He scored on Clarke's out

after Dolan had hit safely and Carey
one gone in the fourth, Byrne. hit and
James hit Tom Clarke with pitched
ball. Vaughn scored both with two
base drive to left.
At this point Mr.. James retires,
more or less gracefully, in favor of
the elongated Mr.. Cole. Cole opened
nicely by walking Alexander. who vas
sacrificed by Miller. Snodgrass hit.
Alexander going to third. Then Snod-
grass started for second, and kept the
fielders chasing him long enough for
the speedy Alexander to come home.
When the ball was pegged to the plate
to catch the runner there, Snodgrass
continued on his way to second, COM
pleting very pretty double steal.
The sixth was a nightmare. With
two out Dolan walked, Carey and Al.
exander hit, Miller walked, and Snod-
grass and Fletcher came through with
singles. Total-four hits and four
runs. A couple Of hits and a walk
didn't count in the seventh, but in the
eighth Snodgrass opened with a hit,
Fletcher flied out and Byrne singled.
Clarke hit to Boone, who pegged wild
to the plate, Snodgrass being safe.
Vaughn popped up a. foul fly to the
catcher; and Dolan delivered with a
mighty three-bagger. scoring Byrne
and Clarke, but being himself caught
