AUTOMOBILES KILL
It's; MANY VICTIMS
ARE SMALL CHILDREN
STARE OFFICIAL SUGGESTS "A
SPECIAL LICENSE FOR THE
CARELESS DRIVERS.

A blazing yellow license plate, with
the words Careless" and "Reckless"
in large green letters, to be carried
on the front of the car by every au-
tomobile driver who has abused his
privileges and endangered public
safety, is the penalty suggested by
DIR. William J. ". Deacon of the
Michigan department of health as a
means of cutting down the number
of auto accidents and deaths.
One hundred and seventy-six deaths
of which 63 were children under 15
vars of age, were caused by auto
mobiles during the first six months
of 1921, reports of the division of
vital statistics show. Of this num-
ber 127 were males and 49 females,
60 of the deaths occurring in Detroit
and 116 throughout the state.
Each succeeding year sees an in
creas in the mortality rate from au-
tomobile accidents and injuries, says
DR.. Deacon, "and each year it be-
comes increasingly dangerous for
children to walk along the streets.
Traffic regulations will in time inn
prove and prevent many accidents,
but what is most needed now is some
adequate punishment for the careless
and reckless driver who takes the
chance of crippling a life to save a
minute.
"Fines are not sufficient. A state
law compelling drivers, who have
been judged careless and reckless, to
carry-for a period set at the discIe-
tior of the court--sJme sor: of a
special license which would label
them to the public as careless or dan
& Srous, would be more likely to get
results. Pubic sentiment would then
make careless driving unsafe fo: the

LOCAL TEAM
NEARLY LOST TO
BUSINESS MEN
LOSE TO G.. X. ELKS, ALSO TO
REMUS IN RETURN GAME
AT THAT PLACE

The Grand Rapids Elks showed
real class Sunday when they defeat
ed the local club by the score of ga.
The Elks started in a whirlwind
fashion. and with a fusilade of hits,
assisted by a number of errors they
put the game on in the first inning,
when they sent six scores across the
plate.
The Belding boys tried hard to
overcome the lead, but the great
pitching of Rewa, the Is year old
phenom, and the wonderful fielding
Of the visitors, made scoring almost
in:ross bic.
Many batting rallies were cut
short by the lightning likeplay of the
Elks.
The Beldng club did not seem
outclassed after the first inning and
the big crowd that witnessed the
contest are confident of a different
result when the teams meet again in
September.
Besides fielding brilliantly Nc
Kiddie lead both teams at the bat
with three hits out of four trips to
the plate. Klock and Childs also did
A shakeup is due in the local club
and it is possible that some new
names may appear in the lineup
when the team takes the field IN
their next game.

In game featured by many good
plays and few bad ones the Bel
ding club defeated the Belding Mer-
chants Thursday by score of 9-8 in
10 innings.
The game started as a joke to the
City club but when the Merchants
pushed over six runs in the first and
second inning, they knew they were
up against a tough proposition and
then started an uphill fight.
Gradually the big lead was cut
down, but it was not until the ninth
that the score was tied, and an extra
inning was needed to secure the win
ming run.
Rev. FIR. Klch started on the
mound for the Merchants and pitched
fine article of ball for five innings
when he was relieved by McKercher
Mac held the opponents well in hand
until the ninth inning when his sup
port faltered and the City clut
secured the necessary runs to put
the game on the right side of the
/ ledger.
Mooney was selected to do the
twirling for the City club, but after
two innings gave way to Miller who
put an abrupt end to the Merchants
/ festivities.
The game was for the purpose OF
raising funds to repair the grand
stand. A very small crowd attended
but those that did felt they were vel
repaid, and the management wishe:
to thank those who donated. While
not enough was realized to complete
the work, it will be a starter and in
few days our stand will be under
cover again.
| The game at Remus was very un.
interesting from our point of view
The Remus club was bent on revenge
for the 1910 beating we handed then
here, and they got il to the tune OF
1873. Our boys played a very loose
game, as they generally do when the
| lineup is broken. The substitutes
may play a very good game but
there is not the team work as wher
all the regulars are performing.
One of the biggest crowds tha'
ever attended a game at Remus wa:
