The fast Mt. Pleasant aggregation,
which is tied with Shepherd for the
league leadership will battle at Mt.
Pleasant and one Of these teams will
be left indicated when the fray is
over and viii be well out in front in
the race. Indications point to Mt.
Pleasant putting over the win.
St Louis will meet Clare on the
st. Louis field and hopes to be able
to break into the win column. Clare
so far ranks with the local team
having been consistently drubbed by
the teams that she has met and the
winner has every prospect Of climb
ing out Of the cellar position and get
ting n start on the win side Of the
ledger in the race. While title
chances are remote for either nine
there is still a possible chance foi
the winner Of Fridays tilt to come
through, by jumping into the victory
column strong from now on.
Alma will meet Ithaca high on the
Alma field and has the promise OF
having a real battle on her hands
In the past two trays Alma has APP
parently had her games sewed up in
each case with five runs in the open
ing innings but in each of the games
has managed to kick away the lead
and the game with bunch of errors
To stand any show in the league race
the Alma outfit must begin to change
its course in the Friday battle anc
start playing a bangup game OF
baseball. The game will be played
on Republic field

Planning for q
Big Opening Day

The new golf course west of the
city is now in excellent shape. New
flags have been put up and it is re-
ported that some good scores are be-
ing made by those who are hitting
the green during their leisure time.
The officers Of the club are plan
ming on holding an opening day in
the very near future, and are also
laying plans for some tournaments.
Members who have not yet been out
to the grounds should lose no time
as right now is the best time to learn
as the others are doing the same
thing.
A fine assortment Of clubs and ac-
cessories are carried at several
places in the city and the golf bugs"
can obtain anything they need with
little on no trouble.

College and High Sch00I
Sporting NezVS
kalamazoo. OHUet
Win Over Alma Nine

The coachless Alma College base
ball team went down to defeat at the
hands Of Kalamazoo College Friday
g to 4 and again on Saturday before
the Crimson team at Olivet TO 2,
errors in each fray being responsible
TO a great extent for the run making
that was indugled in by the opposing
teams.
The defeats put a serious crimp in
Alma's title prospects, if she ever had
any serious thoughts in that direction,
but it is still early, the season be-
ing only little over two weeks gone.
Only one team remains undefeated in
the race, and Alma still has chance
to show enough TO win if the team
settles down from now on and plays
winning baseball. The return of
Coach Campbell, injured during
practice Thursday, will have a whole
some effect in bringing the squad
around to good baseball.
Crittenden was on the mound for
the Maroon and Cream i'm the Friday
fray at Kalamazoo. The veteran is
not yet in his proper form due to the
cold weather and illness Thursday
night, yet he pitched a good game in
spite of the fact that he was nicked
for eleven hits. These were kept
well distributed except for two inn
ings, when Young's men managed to
bunch blows. Errors kept the Alma
star in hot water continually.
Saturday Californian, the Frosh
hurler, went to the mound against
Dove, the Olivet star. Californian
pitched nice baseball except for two
different innings when his delivery
was solved for three hits. A bunch
of errors behind the young hurler had
q bad effect. In one inning, a wild
peg with bases full gave the Grim
son three Yuns,. the throw being wild
enough to clear the sacks of Crimson
runners. Californian struckout ten
men. The Olivet team has steeled
down and is playing some fine base
ball as is shown from the fact that
the Crimson defeated Mt. Pleasant
Normal l to 0 on Friday.

Another Road Trip
For Alma Sluggers

The Alma College baseball team
will be on the road again this week
meeting the strong Ypsilanti Nor
NAL aggregation on Friday and the
Blue and White at Hillsdale on Sat
urday. After the two NJ. /. A. A.
defeats of last week the team will be
Playing with its back to the wall and
must win to stay in the running in
the NJ. |. A. A. race unless there
are few more big upsets in the
present race which is full Of sur
prises.
Alma still has a chance to come
through if the team can win the
remaining games on the schedule.
No great championship aspirations
have been held, but there is a fine
opportunity ahead for the Maroon
and Cream if the team reinforced
by the presence of Coach Campbell
who will be out again this week, can
hit winning stride and keep it up.
The Michigan State Normal game
at Ypsilanti promises TO be the big
game Of the week. The Teachers
are going at a rapid pace with
Rynearson, a star hurler, doing the
box work.
Hillsdale also has a clever pitcher
who will probably work against
Alma in Bryson who recently held
Albion to 3 hits and won his game
3 to 2. q -

Coach Campbell Is
Seriously Injured

An unfortunate accident occurred
last Thursday afternoon at baseball
practice, when a bat, thrown by
"Dud" Johnston, the lanky Alma out
fielder, struck Coach Campbell on the
forehead, knocking him unconscious.
The blow resulted in deep cash
above the left eye, necessitating that
several stitches be taken. The wound
is a serious one, so the coach will be
out Of harness for an indefinite time.
The Albanian reporter stopped in
TO see. him on Saturday. The coach
was feeling better, but he will re-
quire absolute rest for a while.
The blow might have resulted fat
ally for him, so while the wound is
bad enough. still there is something
TO be thankful for. However, it will
take more than a baseball bat to
hold our doughty coach down for any
length of time, and he is probably al
ready tuning at the delay in getting
out.
The baseball team was placed in
charge Of Crittenden on the trip to
Kalamazoo.

Starts Pitching
Career With Win

Dick, fifteen year old high
school Freshman went to the box
Tuesday to start against st. Louis
High in a Central Michigan league
game and landed the bacon for Alma
High 8 TO ,, the visitors being able
TO find the little rookie for only four
bingles during the fray, and it was
only because of errors that the lad
was scored on by the visiting az
gregation.
Alma took the lead in the opening
chapter Of the serial play, counting
three runs without the aid of a hit,
errors putting the men on the sacks
and kicking 'em around to the count
ing station. The visitors then set
tied down and played good ball during
the balance of the game and Alma
was forced to connect with the Of
ferings of Secord in the late innings
to keep the lead.
st. Louis counted two runs in the
fourth by a hit and errors and in the
sixth added another without hit in
the inning.
In the fifth Alma started pounding
Sccord, who had yielded one hit to
that time, and in the next four in
nings nicked his delivery for eight
blows which propelled five runs to
the registration point.
During tie fray Secord struckout
ten men, outdoing Dicke in this re-
gard, the Alma youngstor getting
only 6. Dicke kept his head
throughout the entire fray, however
and the four blows that were taken
from his delivery were scattered over
as many different innings.

SPORT NOTES

Rumors are going the rounds that
the Mt. Pleasant high school pitcher,
who has won every game Mt. Plea
SAINT has played in the Central Michi-
gan league is ineligible. 1t is I'M
derstood a ruling from the NJ. /. A. A.
has been asked for in regard to him.
1t is possible that Mt. Peasants
victories will be thrown out. 1t is
also said that st. Louis expects to
protest Shepherd player on the
ground of receiving money for play.
Should these two teams lose their
games so far played Alma will be
leading the league.
For the first time in years Kalama-
zoo College will not figure in the
finals in the M. /. A. A. baseball fight,
having lost three games, two to Ypsi.
and one to Albion. No one feels sor-
ry for Young, excepting Young.
Alma College still has chance in
the NJ. /. A. A., but to what extent
will depend upon whether or not Alma
can stop the winning streak of Ryner-
son, who returned to Ypsilanti after
some years of semi-pro ball and
coaching, and is giving that team
real pitching strength.
Hopes are held that Coach Camp
bell will be able to take the trip with
his baseball team this week when it
plays Ypsilanti and Hillsdale. His
presence with the aggregation will
probably make big difference in the
brand of ball that Alma will play.
