The 1.-the and fair-haired athlete,
Who was one of the country's most
brilliant quarterbacks last year at
Penn State. made 4 big hit with the
sixteen candidates who turned out.
He got right down to business from
the start. In the morning he kept
his men busy kicking and passing.
during which time he gave them
careful study and many sugges-
tions. In the afternoon the work
began. Everybody was in full foot
ball array. They even wore their
shoulder pads and If there had been
enough candidates from which to
pick two teams, they wouldn't have
been surprised to have had a little

DETROIT MASONS
TWICE DEFEATED
Republics Trucks Continued
Their Big Winning Streak
with Two Victories.
SHERLOW WAS BIG PUZZLE
Kept Visitors Guessing in the Open
ing Battle of Series by His
Splendid Pitching.

The Republic Trucks added two
more games to their long string of
victories the first of the week, when
they defeatd the Masonic All Stars
of Detroit in a two-game series. The
Masonic All Star team is an aggre-
cation composed of the best players
of the Masonic league of Detroit, and
forms a strong team, one Of the
strongest that has gone out of De-
troit this year.
Monday Sherlow was sent against
the Detroiters, who had Rubber"
Knapp, former big league star in the
box, and from the third inning on
it was Sherlow's game all the way, as
he was stingy with hits, while the
hard hitting Truckmakcrs smashed
Krapp's offerings in a liberal way,
collecting thirteen hits during the
encounter. two Of which were chalked
up as triples
Failure of Umpir- Green TO catch
a play at the plate in the first inning
gave the visitors two runs. While it
cut no figure in the result of the
game. it hurt badly at that spot, as
it took the Truckmakers three in
nings to match up this count.
In the sixth the visitors collected
another run. but b was promptly
killed off, as the Republics grabbed
TWO in their half of the inning. and IN
sc eighth they proceeded to put the
game on ice by coping off two more
counters.
The Republics punched their hits at
opportune moments, eight of them
being used in the counting of six runs
in the three different innings.
Aside from the pitching of Sher-
low, who held the Detroiters to four
hits, the features of the game were
the hitting of Dunekle, who grabbed
three knocks in four trips to the
plate, and the fast double play that
he pulled in the ninth to end the
game.

STATE CONVENTION
Legionaires Held Their State Con-
ventiOn in Saginaw.

The state convention Of the Ameri-
can Legion held in Saginaw last week
was a fine event according TO the del
cgates who attended from the Alma
post.
Among the addresses made at the
convention was one by DR.. Willetts
Of the health service, with headquar-
tiers in Chicago, who spoke of the
work that is being done among ex-
service men. He was also high in
his praise of hte Michigan Commun-
ity Council, saying that it stood out
as the best in the country.
William p. Sylvester of the public
welfare bureau gave highly inter
esting address on vocational train
ing, and said that the bureau was
working for the establishing of three
stations in Michigan, in Detroit, Sag
inaw and Grand Rapids. He said
that only 1000 men are now recev-
ing vocational training and that
1000 more have applied, but that
there are many others who are en-
titled to receive il.
Mr. Hamilton, a liason officer dur
ing the war, now with the Federal
Board Of Vocational Training gave
one of the most interesting addresses
of the convention, and in the address
asked the Legionaires fa support in
a measure that the war board hoped
to have adopted, that Of making wild
ows and orphans Of service men, and
those who fought with the Allies.
eligible for vocational training.
To those entitled TO receive com
pensation, the advice that was given
was to go after it, as no one was
around to hand out plums.

AGED ALMA WOMAN
DIED ON THURSDAY
Well known Resident of This
City Passed Away Follow
ing Stroke of ApOplexy.

After an illness of only twenty
eight hours, following upon a stroke
of apoplexy, Mrs. Charles Jewett
Sterling died at her home on State
street, on Thursday, September Sth.
A funeral service was held at the
house on Friday at 2:30 Rev. j.
Frank Jackson officiating; and the
next day interment took place in the
family lot at Jonesville, Michigan.

Agnes +. Sterling was born in Jones'
vile, Michigan, on July 22nd, 1S43,
the third daughter of Henry A. Dele
van and Mary Tilinghast Delevan.
Like her sisters she received a most
careful and thorough education. On
February Sth, 1871, took place her
marriage 10 Charles J Sterling: a
marriage whose fiftieth anniversary
would have been celebrated next

Mr.. Sterling was in business, became
their home. for the following ten
years They then removed 10 Chica-

which year Mr. and Mrs. Sterling
have made their home in the dignified
family dwelling on State street.
Wherever Mrs. Sterling lived, she
was busy in all good ways. Where
ever she lived, she made and kept
many warm, devoted friends. In the
Woman's Club of Chicago, this was
true. In the very remarkable work
done by Mrs. Sterling while head Of
the Bureau Of Charities of the North
Side Of Chicago, il was true again.
Mrs. Sterling's special interest lay in
charitable work In the Home for
Aged People of the Episcopal Church.

both as a member Of the Board and
Chairman Of the House Committee.
She took part in such work at Niles.
as well as in Chicago. Devoted to
her home and husband Mrs Sterling

gifts. Among these, was pro-
nounced talent in certain interesting
forms OF entertainment How many
people young and old, will remem-
Der with delight tn, hours made
pleasant and stimulating for them
by this gifted woman. She had
special fondness for young society,
special sympathy with young peo-
pie; and leaves beside her nearest
family, a group of nephews and
nieces to whom she was devotedly
attached and by whom she was dear
~ loved. The many friends Of Mrs.
Sterling will think in retrospect of
her strong character, her warm at
tachments, her courtesy, which was
second nature; Of her ability. her
versatility and Of her keenness of
perception with regard to people,
which was quite out Of the ordinary.
her ready wit and humor. and her en-.
joyment of all things fine and inter-
esting. The memory Of this valu-
able and delightful woman will abide
in the minds and hearts of those
whose privilege it was to know her;
her place can not be filled.

COLLEGE YEAR HAS
STARTED ONCE MORE
Class Work at Presbyterian In
stitutiOn Was Scheduled TO
Start This Morning.

Alma College opened this week
with an attendance that ranks very
favorable with any year in the past,
with the possible exception of the
banner attendance of last year, and
indications are that the college will
have a good year.
Wednesday evening Dr. Crooks,
president Of the institution stated
that there were about $50 students
enrolled for the four regular college
classes, this slightly less than last
year, and it is probable that the de-
crease has come from the fact that
the kindergarten department is be-
ing abolished, and no new students
are taken for that course this year.
Some few students have not en-
rolled as yet. and it is not impossible
that the enrolment in the four regu-
lar college classes will reach the two
hundred mark before next week.
Special classe and music depart
mcnt students will of course swell
the attendance mark, and it is prob
able that there will be upwards Of
fifty of such students, making a to-
tai enrolment of about $50 students.
The first chapel service of the year
was held at 1:15 Wednesday af-
ternoon, at which time DR.. Crooks
gave the opening address, in which
he sought to impress strongly upon
the students, new and old, the need
of reading good literature, if the
broadening educational process was
to continue. He called attention to a
survey of the reading by teachers in
Illinois public schools. which found
that in a year the teachers of Illinois
averaged between two and three
books per year, and then indicated
that more good reading was needed
for proper development.

He was interested in the Twin Cities
Realty company, formed in 1918, and

Of that company, and since that time

Brady Proved Far Too Fast for Eddie
Thomas in Bout Here.

Jimmie Brady proved too fast for
Eddie Thomas Of Philadelphia. in
their scheduled ten round go here on
Tuesday night at Republic park, and
scored Knockout over the fastener
in the fourth round of the bout, a
right hook to the jaw putting Thorn
as down for the count, after he had
taken a count of nine earlier in the
round.
1t was clear right from the start
that both men were after the honors
of the ten round go, and that they
wanted a knockout if possible, as
both jumped into the fighting right
from the first gong, the fans seeing
one of the fastest matches that has
been staged in this part Of the state
in years Brady showed his superior
ity right from tie start and was soon
carrying the fight to Thomas, who
was completely outclassed.
Early in the fourth right hook 10
the Jaw, followed by a smash to the
jaw with driving left sent Thomas
to the mat for the count of nine. He
pulled himself together, but a mo-
ment later another right hook sent
him down for the count.
In the semi-final Of six rounds be-
tween Robinson of Cadillac and
Young Mullen, neither displayed any
great ability, but at times landed
some good punches. The go was
Robinson's, the Cadillac man show
much better than did Mullen.

given a good treat, as the two mixed

INJURED FRIDAY

Mrs. Milligan of Breckenridge was
injured Friday evening, when a bug
gy in which she was driving with
two companions, was struck on Mich
igan avenue, by an automobile, driv-
en- by Chester Benedict. Mr.. Bene-
dict was driving slowly, which alone
kept the accident from being a SER
ious one. He was slightly on the
left side of the road and his lights
were rather dim, and he did not see
the approaching rig, until the auto
mobile struck it. Mrs. Milligan was
not badly injured and her two COM
panions were uninjured, except for
shaking up. The automobile was
damaged, as well as the buggy, but
neither very seriously.

il is believed that in the attempt to
bring it into the road again, it was
sent into the ditch.
MIR. Soule was killed instantly, his
neck being broken. Mr. Netzorg was
badly bruised and shaken, but when
assistance arrived, he aided in get
ting Mr.. Soule from under the auto
mobile, which had overturned Later
in the evening Mr. Netzorg was
brought back to Alma.
Mr. Soule has been most prom
inently identified with the growing
city in which he lived since he gradu-
ated from Alma College in 1908. He
began building houses in Alma, in
fact during his college days, and fol-
lowing his graduation went into the
hardware business as a member of
the firm Of Caple and Soule. After
two years, he disposed of his hard
ware business in Alma and for a
year was in the same business in
Champaign, Illinois. He then re-
surned to Alma, and resumed his
contract work here.

of the city. His first factory build
ings Of any Importance were the
plant Of the Miller Saw Trimmer Co.
and the plant of the Little Giant Hay
Press company both Of which are
now a part Of the Republic factories,
one being known as plant No and
the other as plant No 3. The next
factory to be constructed here was
the plant Of Libby, Mcneil q Libby,
and later he constructed new build
ings for the packing company, doub-
ling the capacity of the Alma plant
His building activities with the Re
public Motor Truck Company, Incor-
vorated, came on the heels Of the
Libby plant, and he has had charge
Of the construction work for the
company practically ever since. The
plant Of the Western Carburetor Co.,
the Standard Oil plant here, and that
of the X-Cel-All Paint company were
also built by him. His latest crea-
tion in factories in Alma, was the
plant Of the Northern Wheel com
pany. Al the time of his death, he
was working on a large contract here
for the Republic Motor Truck Com
pany. Inc.
Mr.. Soule had not been active in
