ORCHARD LAKE Is, ALMA )
Last Friday the college baseball
team played Orchard Lake Seminary
at Orchard Lake and suffered a bad
rout by the score Of Is to >. If bad
beginning is indicative of a good end
ing, as the old saying goes, Alma is
due TO have a brilliant season of base
ball this spring. The Poles played
good baseball and were never i'm dang
er of being headed.
Both French and Johnson who
pitched for Alma, were treated rather
boisterously by the Seminary slug
gers, who poled several extra base
hits. However, the local collegians'
on their part, also did some healthy
hitting, Goodrich and Dancer both Sc
curing three hits apiece.
On FRIDAY ana saturday, captain
Simenton's men will attempt to re-
trieve the Orchard Lake setback when
Hope and Albion are met on the re-
spective dates The latter is an in
tercollegiate game and will be hard
fought one from start to finish. A re-
cord crowd is anticipated for this
game as Albion is reported to have
the best team in the history of the
school.
Hope appears on the college sche-
dule for the first time, and their
strength is an unknown quantity. In
majority Of cases when Alma and
Hope have met in contests of any ma
ture, the Dutchmen have come off
victorious and Captain Simenton and
his associates intend to abolish this
custom for good and all.
