Alma Wins rs to 6
From, st. Louis Nine

The Alma High School baseball
team with Dick in the box had no
trouble in disposing of st. Louis High
in a Central Michigan high school
league game last Thursday after
noon on the st. Louis field, the Alma
elan winning hands down 26 to 6.
The little fifteen year old Alma
High hurler did not get properly
warmed up before he went into the
fray and in the first inning the St.
Louis team nicked him for four runs.
Dick settled down Immediately he got
warmed up and set the St. Louis team
down during the balance of the game.
After the fifth inning the st. Louis
team could not get around the path,
every attempt being blocked by the
locals, who were playing good ball
behind the Freshman hurler.
st. Louis used every man on her
pitching staff in the attempt to stop
the fast going Alma team and the
more hurlers Coach Grant paraded to
the box, the worse became the slaugh-
ter. The only question in regard to
the fray after the locals pulled down
the four runs that st. Louis took in
the first inning was how high the
Alma total would run.
If it is something to be printed, we
can print it. The Alma Record

Kalamazoo College Friday afternoon
i'm a Michigan Intercollegiate contest,
stepping out for runs in the seventh
inning, which smashed a tie count
that Kazoo had just showed across
and put the game on ice for the
Maroon and Cream.
Hickerson and Californian did the
mound work for the Presbyterian
clan, and it must be acknowledged
that the "rookie" hurlers put over
the hest brand Of ball that they have
shown this year, although they were
inclined to be trifle wild at times.
Wildness got Hickerson into bad
spot in the second and this same
cause with two errors conspired to
get Californian into a bad hole in the
seventh. when the Celery Eaters were
set back with bases full, after one
man had counted.
Kalamazoo broke into the scoring
column first. In the second inning
Higa walked. Morley rolled one to
Hickerson, and was safe when the
throw to first pulled Wright from
the sack The runners advanced on
Bctzner's infield out, and scored on
Walkotten's drive through short.
Kazoo added her other tally in the
seventh. With two down Walkotten
walked. He stole second and went
to third on Ryan's error, cashing on
Casteel's single. Sturgeon was safe
on Beckton's error and Detschulat
walked, filling the bags. Ryan
nailed Harder's foul for the third out
and the danger was over.
Alma tied up Kalamazoo's count
in her half Of the second. Shaver
was safe on Hinga's error. Johnston
leaned on one for two sacks. Carly
chased one down the left field line,
Shaver and Johnston scoring. Three
then died in order
In the sixth Alma jumped into the
lead by single run, which Young's
men tied up Immediately afterwards.
Hickerson walked. He took second on
Wright's sacrifice, and counted on
Shaver's single to center.
In the big seventh Alma chased
four runs over the plate and cinched
the fray. Californian walked. Kirk
err grounded out to first. Beckton
was safe on Morley's error. Ryan
singled to left and Californian scored,
Beckton taking third. Hickerson was
safe on Hinga's error and Beckton
added a tally. Ryan was nailed off
third. Hickerson stole second and
scored on Wright's hit to left. Gra-
ham threw the ball away attempting
to nail Wright stealing and he was
able to score. Shaver flied out.

AMERICAS DEBT TO FRANCE
Other Considerations Aside, That Countrys Outlay of Actual
 Cash Was Enormous.

It cost France at least $50000,O00 for the military forces she sent to America to help the struggling repub- lie win it's independence from Great Britain.
 For this great outlay, tremendous sum of money in those days, the French king, Louis XVI, received no substantial repayment and France has never asked the United States to re. pay it.
 It is estimated that the cash outlay of France in behalf of the United States in the Revolutionary war was greater than the entire wealth, in coin, possessed by the Colonies during the entire contest.
 France sent to America an army of 12,6S0 officers and men, in 36 trans ports, the crews of which aggregated 2,700 officers and men. She dispatched to America in 63 warships 32,609 off, cers and men, making a total of land and sea forces of 45,2S9 fighting men.
 Her warships engaged in co-operat- ing with the American land forces mounted 3,66S guns.

British and American veterans, in accordance with their annual custom. on Sunday last, joined in paying trib- ute to those of both sides who fell at Concord, Massachusetts, in 1773, the Christian Science Monitor relates.
 After exercises in honor of the British soldiers on the east side of the bridge, similar tribute was paid at the American Minute Mems monument across the river where Lieut.-Col. George w. Bentley, commander of the British Naval and Military Veterans association of Boston, pronounced this invocation with this tribute to the immortal heroes of the United States of America, we British veterans join in fervent prayer to Almighty God that the sacred ties that now bind our nations in friendship may never again be broken, but ever grow stronger in unity of purpose for the preservation

 Flag of Lexington and Concord.
 The farmers of Lexington carried the cornet or standard of the three county troop. This banner was de- vised for local company of cavalry raised in the counties of Essex, Suf- folk and Middlesex, Mass, in 1659 The office of color bearer of this troop was a sort of inheritance In the Page family. The standard was car ried in King Philips war in 1676 When the Minute Men were organized Nathaniel Page Sd of Bedford took the old flag for use at drill. At the midnight alarm Captain Page snatched up the standard and carried it with him to Concord, where 1t ''waved above the smoke of that battle"

THE DECLARATION

The men who wrote the solemn Declara- ton
 That told the world our nation must be free Were men of brains for thoughtful con- temptation. Such men as patriots ever ought to be. It was a document whose simple dicton Revealed the beauty of its honest thought; No elegance of fable or of fiction Was ever with such wondrous mean ing fraught. If In that day when hot July was glowing The telegraph had waited for the news, With journalists assembled to be knowing. The action taken, with no time to lose: If telephones had rung out to the nation Each step of progress that the work disclosed, I wonder if that splendid Declaration Could possibly have been so we'll com posed.
