Hopes TO Win
In the County Meet

Although somewhat weak in the
dashes and in the weight events the
Alma High School track meet hopes
to win the Gratiot County Field and
Track meet which will be held at
Ithaca Friday.
Alma has few real track stars on
her list so far and probably will not
show many this year unless the un-
expected happens at Ithaca and the
team gets away better than is looked
for. Elias right now is about the
only mans who is conceded a first
place in any event. 1t is freely
predicted that he will pick off the
mile and probably the half.
In the dashes and the hurdle events
Wyant, Anderson, Veeder, Wright,
Davis and possibly Elias will be en-
tered.
In the distance runs Alma is bank
ing on Elias, and has hopes that
Baker, AXE, Combs, Greenhoe or
Davis will be able to pick up some
points.
In the weights Alma's hopes are
conferred around Elias, Anderson and
Nelson.
In the jumps and pole vault, IKE"
Sartor, Wyant, AXE and Anderson
will compete for the points.
1t is expected that just three
schools will be in the county meet
this year, Breckenridge, Ithaca and
Alma.

Kalamazoo and Mt.
Pleasant Play Here

The two next home foes for the
Alma College baseball team are Kala-
ma zoo College and Mt. Pleasant
Normal. The Kazoo Michigan In
tercollegiate aggregation is to be
played at Alma Friday afternoon
and the Teachers of Mt. Pleasant
will appear here on Tuesday, May
80.
Kalamazoo, although she has lost
the services of Lampbe, who is now
hurting for the Kalamazoo Central
league club, is a dangerous team and
will give Coach Campbells elan of
clubbers q merry time on Republic
field. Young has almost an entire
cast of veterans on his team, except
for the pitching staff, which is a
new one, but which has some valuable
talent.
Alma must win from the Kalama-
zoo club if she is to have a chance to
get into the field day elimination
series at Albion and get a crack at
the field day series banner, for which
four teams will play. Michigan
State Normal and Albion are two of
the four teams certain to play in the
series. 1t is expected that Coach
Campbell will start Hickerson against
the Kazooks. The little Detroiter
has pitched in just two contests this
year, and both of these during the
past two weeks. He looks 10 have
plenty of stuff.
The Memorial day game here with
Mt. Pleasant Normal also promises to
be an attractive offering. In the
opening game of the season Alma was
defeated at Mt. Pleasant by small
score and hopes to be able TO reverse
the decision here in the Holiday bill.
Crittenden is expected to oppose
Brooks in this game, the first Mem
orial day contest played in Alma in
years.

Play st. Louis at
st. Louis Thursday

Alma and st. Louis will meet on
Thursday afternoon at the. st. Louis
field in one Of the most interesting
contests that is scheduled for the
week -end i'm the Central Michigan
league of high schools, and it is ex-
pected that both schools will have a
good bunch of rooters on hand to spur
their team to victory.
The Alma team is near the. head
Of the league race and apparently is
the one Gratiot county aggregation
that now has a chance to finish in the
lead, but that will not deter the ST.
Louis outfit from giving the Almaites
a real battle. The. close rivalry be-
tween the two schools insures both of
them, even without a championship
race, to give their very best efforts to
land the long end in any contest. 1t
while the same intensive rivalry ex-
lists between the two schools, as for
nerly, there is much better feeling
between them than for years.
The Mt. Pleasant team, which re-
Gently defeated Clare, and was forced
to forfeit for using an ineligible, will
meet Clare at Clare on Friday. This
game should be warmly contested
one, as Clare is playing the best ball
that she has shown yet this season.
Ithaca will play Friday at Shepherd
and hopes to knock the Isabella
county nine down peg in the race

Of which was earned. Two came
in the eighth, three singles, an err

With Hckerson and Californian

revenge on Hillsdale College Mon
day putting down the visitors z 10
4 in an NJ. /. A.. A. game. At the
end Of the first half Of the fifth it
looked like a Hillsdale contest, the
visitors leading 3 to 0 at that time.
Up to that time Alma did not have
a thing that even closely resembled
a hit.
In the final half Of the fifth Alma
broke loose, however, and chased
Hart, the Blue and White star south
paw, to cover. Bryson succeeded
him in the box. Bryson pitched to
just three men before he followed the
way of Hart, and the southpaw was
recalled from the outifeld to again
take 'up mound work. Before the
inning ended Alma was leading 4 to
3. Two more runs came in the sixth
and one in the seventh, putting the
fray on ice. Californian went to the
box in the sixth and pitched
strong game the rest of the route
for the Maroon and Cream.
The feature of the contest was the
hitting of Kirker, who had three
pokes in four trips to the plate. He
also counted two runs.

ING REGULAR PITCHERS.

Alma showed Albion College down
a notch in the NJ. |. A. A. race Fri
day with 7 to victory over the
Methodist, but on Saturday the Ma
room and Cream was unable TO fathom
the delivery of Rynearson and
Michigan State Normal winning from
Alma q to took the Michigan Inter
collegiate championship.
Alma had little difficulty in de-
feating Albion z TO in the Friday
tilt, the Methodist being unable to
connect with the offerings of john
ston and ttckerson, hurting for the
first time in college baseball, with
an degree of consistency, while the
Maroon and Cream pounded the pill
in "a most timely manner.
In Alma's half of the first after
Ryan died, Hickerson rolled one
towards first that he beat out. Wright
smacked a drive to center, Kicker
son going to third. Wright went to
second on the first pitch and both
scored when Shaver singled to left.
Johnston singled to left, but was
forced at second a moment later.
Williams grounded out.
Another came in the second. With
two down Ryan walked. Kicker
son kissed one for two bases, Kicker
son scoring Wright flied out.
In the fifth Nagel was chased to
cover. Hickerson opened the inning
with his third hit. Wright singled
to right field, Hickerson going to
third on the blow. Wright took
second on the first pitched, and Sha-
yer again did the rescue act with a
sizzling single TO left. Coach Mil
Ter used the derrick at this point on
Nagel and Smith took the box. The
southpaw retired three men in order.
In the eighth Alma got next to the
offerings of Smith. Johnston laid
a slow roller down the third base
line and was safe, and took second
on Shields's error. Carly walked
Johnston was nailed off second. Will
Jams was safe on an error, which
put Carly on third and Williams on
second. Kirker singled TO right and
both men cashed.
Albion counted in the second. Bull
len walked with one down. Barnes
Singled and Bullen went to third.
Bullen was nailed flat of the sack.
Phillips was safe on Carty's error,
which let Barnes count. Phillips
was forced by Nagel for the third
out.
In the fifth with two down Shields
walked. Wilson doubled and Shields
counted.
An attempted rally in the ninth
was cut down by Alma after Albion
had chased over single run. With
two down Smith singled to center.
Tamblyn walked. Kresage laced one
to center and Smith cashed a run.
Shields lifted a long fly that John
ston got under for his sixth put out
in center field and the fray was over.
The timely hitting of Hickerson,
Wright, Shaver and Johnston and the
work of Johnston and Hickrson in
the box for the Alma team were the
outstanding features of the contest.
