ONE KILLED, TWO INJURED IN
AUTO CRASH THURSDAY NIGHT
OWOSSO INDEPENDENTS
WIN TWO MORE GAMES

Once again Owosso's baseball team
scored decisive victories when it de-
feated the Detroit Cowpers, All-Stars
twice the last weekend. The Cow
pers have been here before, splitting
even on games with the local team
at that time. They came to substi-
tute for the Risdon Creameries team
which was scheduled to play here but
for some reason was not able to, at
the last minute.
In the Saturday contest, ten in
nings were required to bring the
winning run, but the game score
ended 81. The Cowpers were
ahead until the 9th, when the Owos-
so boys brought three runs across the
plate, making the score TT. One
run in the tenth decided the con-
test.
The Cowpers also led in the Sum
day game until the sixth inning when
with the score 80, the Owosso play
ers staged rally, and before the
end of the game had brought in 5
more runs, making the score 7-3.
Owosso's team, by these last two
victories has risen still further in
the rating Of state baseball teams ana
it's position as leader has been en-
hanced. The chief trouble in con-
nection with the team seems to be
decided lack Of support on the part
of the townspeople.
The team has been a losing propo-
sition so far and much better pat
ronage is necessary at the games or
the management will be much behind
at the end of the year. 1t is plan
ned now to obtain jobs for the ball
players for at least six weeks, to re-
duce expenses and Owosso citizens
have been called upon to support
the team to the extent of providing
work for the ball players. A good
response is expected and it is hoped
by the Management that work for
all men will be obtained before the
end of the week.

STOVE COMPANY
RESUMES WORK
TAKES ON 100 MEN; AND
WORKS 3>DAY WEEK

One more Owosso factory increas.
ed its working force, when the In.
dependent Stove Company resumed
operations on a three-day per week
basis, this week.
After several months of complete
shutdown and longer period of
short working weeks, the company
is again beginning to show signs of
improving business conditions. Some
orders have been received, and some
of the present production is being
done in anticipation of the usual
fall orders, which have not as yet
begun to come in.
Although the full size of the work
ing force of men is not yet in sight,
the company is employing about 100
now, and hopes to increase to nearer
normal with the beginning of fall
orders.
For the past few weeks, the Stove
company has been exhibiting pro-
ducts at the big annual exhibit at
Chicago. This is the first time that
the LEGAL concern has exhibited at
the Chicago show and marks recent
expansive movements by the COM
pany into larger fields. The officials
are gradually increasing the scope
of the company's territory and re-
cent trips by statesmen into fields
formerly not reached, indicate that
the prospects for the local firm were
good in those districts They were
mainly in the states farther west.
