Christmas Cheer Brought to Many
Homes.

11OWGS.
Our first community Christmas tree
exercises are now matter of history.
The result of our initial experiment has
been so satisfactory that it is safe to
predict that the movement has helped
broaden the Christmas spirit of our en-
tire community. The amount of money
and gifts collected to relieve the needy
of our city exceeded the expectations
of the committee in charge and it has
enabled them to bring holiday cheer to
more families than ever before.
The exercises about the illuminated
tree on the street Christmas eve drew
large attendance. About 300 chill
dren from the grades of the public
school sang their Christmas carols at 5
o'clock, followed by the distribution Of
gifts to all who participated. At 9
O'Clock the adult program was given,
supplemented by street singing about
town.
The committee feel it their duty to
publicly thank all those who so gener-
ously contributed in any way to the
successful movement.

Baseball as It Was Played Lcs,g Ago.

Speaking of baseball - and as the
winter season seems to be the favorite
time to tell about pinch hits, bone head
plays and remarkable performances on
the diamond, it becomes somewhat of a
pleasure to write of score book which
Frank H. True treasures so highly that
he keeps it safely locked in his office
safe in the Storey building in Los An
geles, CAL, and exhibited it to the ed
itor of this paper when in that city a
few weeks ago. This record told of a
game between Milton college and AL
bion academy, played on the acaoemy
campus, June 4, 1869, resulting in a
score of 66 to " in favor of the Milton
college team. The Albion team was
composed of ex-Gov. Alva Adams of
Colorado, Thos. Abbott of Tyndall, S.
D., Rev. Geo. Burdick of Milton, M. S.
Frowley of Eau Claire, the late Judge
C. V. Bardeen, M. w. Green, James
D. Whittet and the writer of this arti-
Gle. Among the Milton college players
were President L. D. Harvey of the
Stout training school, Geo. Rumrill, the
we'll known tobacco dealer of James
vile, Frank H. True of Los Angeles,
CAL, who played shortstop on every
occasion and is yet as much of base
ball fan as ever, Spaulding, Crandall,
Fuller and others. Don't forget it was
some game in those days = when a
pitcher had to pitch ball with an I'M
derhand movement. 1t was the big
baseball event of that year and the
people for miles around were present
to witness it.
