LOCAL HIGH TAKES
THE SECOND GAME
OF THIS SEASON
HEAVY SLUGGING PILES UP
BIG LEADS. SCORE WAS
IA TO 2

On Friday afternoon the local high
school team travelled over to Palo
and beat the Palo-Hubbardsto COM
bination to the tune of IA to 2. The
home boys fatten their batting av-
erage quite a little as all of them
did some heavy hitting.
The last part of the game was
played in the rain and at the end of
the fifth inning the game was called
by the umpires. The battery for Pa
lo-Hubbardston was Howe and Clark
for Belding, Coyle and James. The
runs by inning We're;
Palo-Hubbard. 200
On this coming Friday, Pewamo is
to play here. A week ago Pewamo
forfeited game to .Palo, just why,
is not very definite.
1t seems quite apparent, at the
present time that the real fight is be-
tween Ionia and Belding as to which
team will represent the northern di-
vision against the southern division
at Ionia on Field Day. The next
game with Ionia will be at Ionia on
May 6.
Although baseball is the chief in
terest now, tcack-work is going on
apace. Quite a few new candidates
are out and the team is pretty well
balanced 1t now seems possible to
have at least three entrants for each
one of the thirteen events. Rockford
will be here probably the last part
of Nav and the ,ounty track meet
will likely come the first week in
June at Ionia.

ERCUL|N TESTS
NEED FOR WORK SHOWN BY IN
CREASE OF TUBERCULOSIS
CASES AMONG PEOPLE

Two years ago DR.. Theodore S.
Rich, director of tuberculosis erad-
ication of the state department Of
animal industry, predicted that by
1921 entire counties would apply to
place their cattle under state and
federal supervision for the purpose
of wiping out tuberculosis and OBJ
tanning healthy herds. At that time
individual herd owners were begin
ming to demand the test
Within the past few weeks DR..
Rich's prophecy has come true: Su-
pervisiors OF Jackson county appro-
priated $4,000 to cooperate with the
division of animal industry-now a
branch of the new state department
of agriculture-in eradicating bovine
tuberculosis in that county, while
Wayne and Hillsdale county super
visors have each appropriated 49,
500 for similar purpose. Emmet,
Charlevoix, Antrim, Grand Traverse
and Gogebic counties have also made
appropriations.
Early in the year the tuberculin
testing of cattle in Livingston coun-
ty was begun, with the result that
up to April l, 500 herds-composing
more than 5000 cattle-were tested
and placed under state and federal
supervision. But percent of the g.
900 head were "reactors"-declare
to me an exceptionally low percent
age, since on the average about 5 out
of every 100 cattle in Michigan are
tubrculos. People are now being
urged to use milk from herds that
have been government tested and
shown free from disease
Need for the combined effort of all
organizations and agencies in fighting
tuberculosis of every form is shown
according to officials of the state de-
partment of health, by the increase
of 491 reported cases of tuberculosis
among humans during the first quar-
ter of 1921 over the same period of
1920 Recent governmental studies
have proved that 25 per cent of tu-
berculous individuals receive their
infection from bovine sources.

SAGINAW PAPER GOT
ITS WIRES CROSSED

Under the heading of '"Belding Ho-
tel man robbed of $256." the Sagi-
nav News Courier, of Tuesday, Apr
19 publishes the following story:
Edward X. Monroe, proprietor of
the Bricker House, Belding, was held
up and robbed of $256 and bank
book by two men in the public toilet
under the Genesee avenue bridge
shortly before midnight, Monday
night.
Mr.. Monroe had just come into
Saginaw on the late Michigan Cen
trail train and had walked across the
bridge. He was followed into the
place by the two young men, who
demanded his valuables
One of the men was about six feet
tall and dressed in dark clothes and
and the other was a couple of inches
shorted and similarly dressed, their
victim told the police He had not
noticed either of the pair on the
train. Mr.. Monroe said, nor had he
seen them following him on the
street.
The article undoubtedly refers to
Everett X. Monroe, who conducted
the army goods store in the Bricker
Hotel for several weeks past and who
visited Saginaw about that time.
