Cardinals Even With Phfllies.

St. Louis, July 18.-The Cardinals evened up the series with the Phillies, winning to 4, by hitting Mayer hard in the early innings. A curious thing occurred in the first. Dressen batted second in this inning. As he was eighth in the batting order and Cruise was second he batted again in eighth place, but the umpires and Phillies did not notice the difference and no protest was made. The score:
 r. h. e. Philadelphia 900 0 0 0 0 8 1-4 1 4 St. Louis 10 0 0 3 2 x-S II Batteries-Mayer, Rixey and Dooin, Burns; Perdue and Wingo, Roche.

James was a complete pug gle to the local batsmen, holding them to four hits. The score:
 r. h. e.. Boston ... ..OO010 0 0-1 6 2 Cincinnati 70 o o 0 0 o co 1 Batteries-James and Gowdy; Ben ton, Schneider and Erwin.

INCOME TAX RESULTS
Show That it Has Not Been as Sue
cessful as Predicted.

The income tax law which was pass
ed to supply the revenue which the
democratic tariff law had cut off by
its wholesale reduction of duties on
imported goods has not been the fam
ing success which it's supporters fond
ly hoped that it would be. This year
it will yield something over twenty
eight million dollars, but it will come
a long ways from wiping out the grow
ing deficit which the government is
facing.
The first complete compilation of
returns under the income tax law, was

THE BUSINESS MANS PRAYER.
BY William L. Brownell.

Inasmuch as at the present time the most
frightful and seemingly unnecessary chapter in
the worlds recent history is being written in blood
pricked from the veins of hundreds of thousands
of stalwart men and mere boys Of other nations,
We Thy children and business men located in the
United States Of America do most humbly give
Thee thanks not that we are unlike other men, but
that, guided by Thy Wise Providence, the Presi-
dent of the United States and all others in author
ty have so steered our ship Of state along The
rivers of peace rather than into the turbulent
waters of Strife and boods1ed, that we are today
enjoying that full measure of security and pros
perity which can only come to the nation whichsat
peace with Thee and with Thy children of other
lands Inasinuch also, as we did not start the strife
referred to and neither have we the power in and
of ourselves to either terminate or shorten the
struggle, we ask that we may be imbued with suf
fcient commonlsense so that we may attend strict
y to our own business, both as individuals and as
a nation, to the end that we may rightfully profit
commercially by conditions which we sincerely
deplore, which we would gladly sacrifice any
pecunary benefit to change, but which we are pow
erless to detract from and to which we sincerely
pray we may not add

On S|XX.DAY JAUHT
Alma College Preparing for
M. /. A. A. Basket
Ball Season
FAST PAIR OF TOWARDS
Steggall and Spinney Deadly Shots
at the Baskets

Prepared for battle the Alma
college basket ball team left here
Monday on, siX-day basket ball trip
through western and northern Michi-
gan, during which time some of the
fastest teams i'm that section of the
state will be met. 1t is expected that
the Maroon and Cream five, while get
ting i'm the best of condition for the
NJ. !. A. A. games to follow later, will
prove a strong foe to the fast indie
pendent teams that will be played and
will return home with a good string of
victories to show for its trip in hostile
territory.
During the last few weeks the team
has been rounding into shape rapidly.
So good has the Improvement been that
Alma is looking for the fastest quintet
that has ever represented the Maroon
and Cream institution, one that should
give the other NJ. /. A. A. teams a
merry battle for the basket ball honors
of the Michigan intercollegiate asso-
citation.
At the forward positions Alma will
have absolutely the fastest pair of for
wards that have ever been in college.
Steggall, for four years one of the
mainstays on the Bay City High
School five, will hold down one of the
forward positions, and Spinney of
Alma, an all round athlete from Alma
High School, where he made great
record in all sports, will hold down
the other forward job. Both of the
lads are deadly shots at field baskets
and give great promises of causing all
kinds of trouble for the guards that
may be sent against them by any Of
the state college teams this season.
Cook an Ideal Center.
At center Captain Cook will hold
forth. Cook is tall rangy "cuss,"
with plenty of spring in his makeup,
that promises to give the locals the
jump against most of the teams that
will be met during the season. The
big center mixes well in the team
work, is speedy on his feet and crack
basket shooter, falling but slightly
behind Spinney and Steggall in this re-
gard.
At the guard positions Alma prom
ises to IL as we'll fortified as in the
other three stations with Gallagher
and Wood holding forth. Gallagher,
from Bay City Eastern, where he
made a fine record, is proving to be
just about the best that the Maroon
and Cream ever saw in a guard posi-
tion and is possessed of great speed,
endurance and basket ball knowledge,
making him a dangerous man at all
stages of the game. Playing a roam
ing guard and being a crack basket
shooter and mixing well with the other
team members in teamwork he will be

KENN[IH AERR|NAN
A Sophomore in Alma College is
Planning Novel Feat
HE WILL CARRY AOVS.
From Alma College to the Pacific
Coast

Kenneth S. Merriman, aged 21,
Sophomore in Alma College, is plan
ming an extremely novel feat. Mr..
Merriman's home is in Inlay City.
He has been in Alma College for the
past year and a half. He is very
popular among both the fellows and
the co-eds, as well as the instructors.
He is contemplating bicycle trip
from Alma to San Francisco. He will
start from this city at the end of this
semester's work, about the 10th Feb
ruary, and will ride wheel to the
coast. Several objects are in view.
The principle one is to get there for
the fair. Another one is to use the
unique way to advertise Alma College
expenses by carrying one or more ad-
vertisements for large firms. He is
negotiating with several different
firms, and has not yet decided which
one or ones he will use. He will ac-
cept the offer of the firm that makes
him the best proposition. He is cor
responding with several bicycle firms,
and may make the trip test trip for
a certain make of wheel. In that case
the company may probably furnish
him with good wheel and his ex-
penses. Whatever advts. he carries
will be fastened on the spokes of the
two wheels of the bicycle. The only
baggage which he intends to carry
will be a case fastened on the frame
of the Wheel The rest of his bag
gage will be sent by railroad. The
undertaking is a hard and and even
dangerous, but Mr.. Merriman is quite
capable of carrying out his purpose
as his integrity is well known. The
trip will be a good advertising scheme
for Alma and Alma College, as his
progress will be watched eagerly by
the state newspapers. Mr.. Merriman
will ride to Grand Rapids, then to
Chicago, and from there he will go
south and then west. He will stop for
a short time in each town thru which
he passes, in order to display his ad-
vertisements and to answer questions.
This is a good chance for some Alma
firm such as the Republic Motor
Truck Company to get at least a small
sign carried over many thousands Of
miles at a cost of only few dollars.
