train, and whether shuch train is on
time or not. Any train not more than
five minutes late will be deemed to
be on time.
Will  be Fought  Out  Next
Tuesday Afternoon
BETWEEN THE EAST AND WEST
Clare's   Annual   Business   Men's
Base Ball Game
WILL BE PLAYED ON SEPTEMBER 10th.
©<"^©<"^©<3*>-©<""^©-^©*--*-?>©'<^©-<-^
The irrepressible conflict between
the East and West, is imminent.
Twice have the west-side and east-side
business men, under their respective
colors, red and blue, met in desperate
encounter, and, amid the blare of
trumpets (in the hands of the small
boy), and the shriek of flying balls,
waged desperate warfare. Twice has
the East borne its cerulean banner into
the Western territory and twice has
the valiant band of heroes been driven
back by superior numbers, but yet un-
conquered, leaving numbers of their
rivals prostrate on the field.
Again the contending parties are on
the eve of battle, maneuvering for advantage. By stipulation? the day of
final triumph and defeat has been set
for Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 10, the
anniversary of the day when Ethan
Allen and his Green Mountain boys
captured Ticonderoga, "'In the name
of the Great Jehovah and the Conti-
nental Congress."
To drop the figure of speech, the annual ball game between the east side
and west-side business men of Clare
will be played next Tuesday afternoon
at two o'clock. The gates will be
open at 1 o'olock to accommodate the
big crowd that will surely occupy every
available inch of ground. The admission will be 10 cents, women and children to count of as much importance as
men. School will probably be closed
at the afternoon recess, so that the
youth may take lessons inthe national
game.
A. H. Roekafellow of Roswell,
New Mexico, has been secured
as umpire. As a train will start
toward Roswell directly after the
game, and Roswell is a safe distance
from Clare, it will be seen that the
well-fare of the umpire has been considered.
Chief-of-Police Austin will be supported by a special detail of stalwart
deputies in citizens' dress. The necessity of mounted policemen to chase
down lost balls is being considered.
They will probably be mounted on the
fence.
The hostipal service will be more
complete than eyer before.
The rules governing the game as
laid down by the league book seem to
be rather deficient and new . ones
have been added for Tuesday. We
give a few here so our readers will
guess somewhat as to what the alleged
players are trying to do. These are
samples:
Pitchers must not throw ball faster
than 10 miles an hour;
Pitchers not allowed to hit same
man twice in same place.
No player allowed to make more
than three (3) home runs in any one
inning.
Spectators allowedoonly one whack
apiece at the umpire at end of each
inning.
No base runner allowed to slide over
half way around the diamond.
No "patching" allowed except in
emergency.
2sTo betting allowed on the ground
by parties unable to put up the stake.
It will readily be seen that such
rules tend to make the game more
scientific and hence more interesting,
as science is the chief thing to be looked for.
Each side will be allowed a reserve
list of 25 players. We would give the
list of players selected by each side,
but as the list is changed almost
hourly it would be of small value as a
means of identifying the men on the
field.. However it will be something
like this:

ed that Calkins will make the usual
number of Tip fouls.
Plain white lines have been drawn
to mark out the diamond so that the
fielders will be able to find their way
back from chasing one of Waller's
long drives (in shoes.)
Bob will have his Mussell with him
as usual.
They say John Wilson, the tailor,
will catch behind the bat. Since he
is familiar with the goose he ought to
be good at ducking.
The Calkinsville cornet band will
furnish music for the occasion.
The ball players will take supper
together at the Calkins after the game
—such as are able to get there.
ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
The annual school meeting was
fairly well attended, and though there
were no new moves of importance the
interest was good. The annual report
we give below. Dr. F. C. Sanf ord was
elected a member of the school board,
a tip top selection. A motion was
made but lost to increase the amount
to be added to the sinking fund from
$500 to $1000 this year.
One thing is worthy of note,jnamely.
that in spite of the cry for economy
raised at the last meeting and the
election of members of the board on a
retrenchment platform, the expenses
have been fully up to the* old mark,
and the estimate for the coming year
provides for the same amount to be
raised by taxation that was raised last
year. This is not a criticism of the
present or former officers, but makes
this fact evident, that we have a big
school and it takes about so much to
run it economically, and below a certain figure it is impossible to go and
maintain a good school.
