COLLEGE TEAM
TO OPEN SEASON
Maroon and Cream Nine Will
Meet Ypsilanti NOrmals on
Teachers Field.

The Alma College baseball aggre-
cation will open the 1920 season
Saturday, meeting the Michigan
State Normal nine at Ypsilanti. in
what is expected to be a hard fought
contest
The Teachers are reputed to have
one Of their usually strong aggre-
cations, and it is certain that the Ma
room and Cream team will be forced
to step some to pick off the honors in
the opener. The Ypsi Normal nine is
now member Of the Michigan Inter
collegiate Athletic Association. hav
ing been voted into the collegiate
circle few weeks ago by the unam-
nous vote of the colleges. Ypsi re-
places Olivet, which closed last June.
While there are ten veteran base
ball men in college, two of them have
not been out for the team, these be-
ing Williams and Gaffney, outfelder
and second sacker.
This has given Coach Wood eight
vets to work with, Captain Eddie
Boyne, Crittenden, Cash, pitchers:
Tomion, catcher and third sacker:
Ex-captain Hebert, third sacker;
Dunning, short; and Richards and
Nender, outfielders.
1t is not certain that all of these
men will be able TO hold their places
on the team this year as some of the
new men are forcing them to the
limit. In one case eligibility may hit
the team.
Scott Of Sandusky, who is seeking
the first base job, has been displaying
some good form, and it is expected
that he will start against the Teach
ers at this position. Howe of Alma.
may start at short, and Dalhgrin of
Newberry will probably get a chance
to show his stuff at second.
1t is expected that Crittenden. re-
garded as one of the best hurlers in
the Michigan Intercollegiate, will be
selected to pitch against Ypsi The
Alma star is looking better than ever.
and should have little trouble with
the men that Rynearson will send
onto the diamond to uphold the honor
of Ypsi.

NEW STRUCTURE
Work on Large Two Story Busi-

Wednesday.
IS TO Be BUILT OF BRICK
Will BE Large Enough To Provide for
Two Stores on the First
Floor.

The construction of new two
story business block was started here
on Wednesday morning by Benjamin
Berman, which promises to be well
come addition to the business district
Of the city, as it will probably be di-
vided on the first floor to make room
for two stores.
The building will be located on the
north side of East Superior street,
just to the west of the Montigel hard
ware building. Mr.. Berman stated
yesterday that the building would be
so feet in length, and that it would
have frontage on Superior street Of
52 feet. The building will be two
stories and basement in height, and
will be constructed, for the greater
part at least, of brick 1t is to have
pressed brick front Of neat design.
AT the present time there is some
question in the mind of Mr. Berman
whether OF not to divide the first
floor into two store rooms 26 feet i'm
width, on to leave the first floor in
one large room for store 1t is
rather expected, however, that he
will decide to finish the first floor so
as to make it available for two
stores.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Berman
to rush the building as rapidly as is
consistant with good building, and he
is in hopes that the building will be
completed within the next two

As in all athletic forms of inter
collegiate activity the spirit of the

COOK is SUPERVISOR

AT special meeting Of the city
commission held Saturday, Professor
Albert y. Cook Of Alma College.
former mayor Of the city, was named
as supervisor Of the third ward, the
commission unanimously confirming
the appointment that Mayor Murphy
made.
Mayor Murphy, true to the spirit
of the commission form of city gov
ernment, laid down party lines in the
selection Of Professor Cook, the latter
being a strong Republican. Mayor
Murphy felt, however, that no strong
er man for supervisor could be pick
ed from the third ward than Professor
Cook. Those who know Professor
Cook feel certain that he will make
one Of the strongest supervisors that
Alma has ever had on the county
board, and one who will prove to be
highly efficient.

WORK TOGETHER
Michigan Sectarian Institutions Par
ticipate nj Movement.

Five colleges in this state are an
nounced as having been designated
TO participate in the Interchurch
World Movement, to train 100000 ad-
ditional recruits for life service dur
ing the next five years. These col
leges are Adrian College, Alma Col
lege, Hope College, Hillsdale College
and Kalamazoo College.
An Interchurch World Movement
survey reveals a need for 1000
workers for specific positions. There
are now 5000 vacancies every year
in the pulpits of America and only
l,SOO completely trained men coming
forward to fill them.
Prior to 1910 the ministry attract
ed at least one-half of the graduates
of the country's colleges. But it is
now no exaggeration to state that in
the last thirty years there has been
a decrease of more than thirty per
cent in the ration of ministers to
church members.
For the coming five years in the
world campaign of American Protest
ant churches united in the Inter
church World Movement. more than
5000 new missionaries must be re-
cruited for the foreign fields alone.
Thousands Of other workers, lay and
clerical, are TO be obtained for
churches and affiliated organizations
in this country.
Most of the church workers of to-
day--9O per cent Of them-are
trained in church schools and col
leges. To these institutions therefore.
the church must look for large pro-
portion of its future workers.
The question arises, have the insti-
tutions the personnel and equipment
necessary to attract young men and
women and 10 give them the kind of
training that modern conditions de-
mand? It is a matter Of common
knowledge that many denominational
schools and colleges struggle along,
year after year, without sufficient
funds to compete for students and
faculty with Independent institutions
supported by the state or by large
private endowment condition that
the Interchurch Movement will seek
to remedy.
The denominstional school is an as
set if it keeps its educational stand
ards high. To let those standards
drop is an injustice to student, COM
munity and church.

SHOULD HELP
Army Is Discharging Many Men
Trained For Farm Work.

In view of the serious shortage of
farm help throughout the coutry. a
condition which is daily said to be
growing worse despite the numerous
proposals and schemes put forth as
solution of the problem, it is being
pointed out that the Regular Army
is today the only national institution
IN the country that il actually doing
something to remedy the situation
instead of merely Offering ideas.
Hundreds of men are and are about
to be discharged from the Army who
have been given thorough and mod
ern instruction in agriculture, farm
mechanics and management, animal
husbandry and other agricultural
phases in scientific and up-to-date
methods. 1t has been declared that
these men being turned out by the
Army, many of whom had never be-
fore been on farm prior to enlist
ing, are even more efficient as a re-
suit Of having had this modern in
struction than youths born and
reared to the soil. Many of them
SDN'N "N'"hehSt Vi Jue one year en-
listment ruling, and are now ready
to take their places among the agri-
cultural producers of the nation
thus offering a solution to the coun-
try-wide cry: How're You Coin to
Keep 'em Down on the Farm ?"
In addition to the numerous posts
and camps offering courses in tractor
operating and other everyday fea-
lures Of up-to-date farm life, the ac-
tivities of two OF them, Camp Dodge
and Camp Funston, are cited as an
indication of what the Army is do
ing to solve the problem. At Camp
Funston, kas., are courses in farm
mechanics, farm management and ac-
counting, animal husbandry, horticul-
ture and landscape gardening which
are conceded to be Of the very high
est order. The work is not all the
oretical but instead actual practice
Ia also given. The camp maintains
its own lands for experimental pur-
poses and has herds of various kinds
Of cattle, with the latest improved
methods Of studying all angles on the |
livestock game.

REPUBLICS OUT
Candidates for Republic Base Ball
Team Seeking Jobs.

With only a little more than one
week before the Republics open the
local season with the Saginaw Aces
on Republic field, Manager Olmsted
is beginning to put the dozen and a
half candidates for the team through
the PAGES in great shape in the out
door workouts which are now being
held daily.
Little work has been secured as
yet on the diamond, which is being
worked over to make it faster than
ever before, but it will be ready for
the daily workouts the first of the
week, and promises TO make one OF
the speediest diamonds in this part
of the state.
Such workouts as have been Sc
cured indicate that Manager Ohm
sted has secured some highly valuable
material in the new men who have
been secured for the aggregation, and
these with the veteran players should
form a team that will be by far the
strongest that has ever represented

pleasing to the Alma fans is the an
