TO HYRUM AND
PLAYS BALL
Wins Many Places In the Mutual
Contest At That Place. Talent
On Every Hand

Mendon, April 26.-Many Mendon
folk iourneyed to Hyrum last Satur
day to the NJ. l. A. stake day In
Mutual Improvement work. They
took with them a junior girls Choir
us; a boys chorus; mixed double
quartet; junior retold story and
had 1t not been that the person Civ.
ing the public speaking address was
detained in the western country we
would have had that along also. The
contesting in the above was held at
10 m. Prof. w. O. Robinson oct
ed as judge and out Of above entries
Mendon won boys chorus; girls Choir.
us, and mixed double quartet, and
are entitled to enter the four stake
meet at Smithheld on May 10.
The biggest feature of the after
noon events was the ball game in
which Mendon and the south end of
the valley took part, It was to have
been a game between Hyrum and
Mendon but Hyrum had secured the
services of three Wellsville men one
Millville and one Paradise. Even at
was good one throughout. The score
was to 3. Thi sis twice Mendon has
defeated this team and they are now
looking for something better. The
management of Mendon team informs
us that Hyrum management were
to have paid Mefdons expenses to
the game. An act which Mendon did
for Hyrum when they came to Men
don. But Hyrum's management re.
fused to compensate the visiting
members any money, at present and
from the attitude taken by Mendon's
manager, G.. V. Sorensen, 1t is doubt
ful If they will give cent. This was
the only undesirable feature of the
day according to the manager.
Mendon is planning one of the big
gest celebrations for May that
they have ever had. Besides q fine
program in morning and May Pole
dance something interesting will be
going on all afternoon. Il. w. Wat
kins has charge of the sports and
you can rest assured that they will
be carried out in good style. The
ball team will play in its own town
that day and will meet G.. G.. Sweet
ems fast bunch of ball tossers from
the other valley Mendon's manager
turned down an offer of $50 and ex-
penses from Brigham City on that
day. This being the case we feel that
Mendon has a good team and the peo-
pie ought to support them.
