They Beat Midland  By a Score of is to u«
Pratt Won the dame in  the  Ninth With  a
Home Run Drive—Floyd  Doherty  Captured I
First Prize in the Bicycle Race. j
Perhaps ono of the most exciting and j
§][$ J hotly contested games of bull ever played j
in Midland county "*as played  at  Coleman yesterday between the Clare and so
called Midland ball team.   Both teams
appeared upon tbe field witb a determi- j
nation to -win, and those that witnessed |
i^fr the gamo got more excitement for their j
-"J5- j money  and  time  put in than they over |
*!_igot before  in   their  lives.   You could,
easily recognize a Clarite after the game,;
fof they had a grin   on  their faco that■
made it resemble a watermelon  after  a j
good sized slice had been taken out. i
In the first inning Midland scored two,
and Clare failed to land a man across the
home plate.   In tho second inning Clare
scored their only run until tho fifth when.,
the score stood seven to one in Midland's ;
favor.
Clarites were beginning to get despor- j
ate and. was on tho verge of expiring,:
when Perse Louch didn't do a thing but j
find one of the Midland man's bed!
springs, and straightened it out for a j
home run. It had some of Clare's elec- j
tricity with it and- tho effect was very soon ;
apparent from the nois - that began to j
come from the Claro crowd.
When tho Claro boys went  to bat in
the last half of the ninth the scoro was
11 to 8 and still in Midland'd favor.   Tho
tigers knew  tbat sometb'ug desperate
must bo  done  or they wore lost.   The
score was tied and three Claro boys were
on bases.    Pratt was called to bat, and
when ho picked up the willow, stepped
to the plate ancl faced Mr. Detroit  man,
you could notice a glitter in his eye that
would make a Comanche Indian sea sick.
The crowd was  getting hilarious and a
moment  Inter when he found tho buckskin for a hot liner over center and made
four bags, the grand stand fell to pieces,
people went wild with excitement and
the yell that went up from tho Clareites
would havo  silenced  a whole  tribe of
Indians with their war paint on, even tho
sun smiled so hard that the woods near
the ball ground caught fire.    .
features  of tho Vamo was. the
phenominijTwork of Pratt on first, ana
"Louch behind the bat. Kinch was wild
in the foro part of the game, but settled
down after tho fifth inning and had Midland at his mercy. Tho Clare boys put
up a fine game.   Tho score:

Fire.
Saturday morning about 8 o'clock A.
A. Shaver discovered his house to be on
fire, and he immediately gave in an alarm.
Ho climbed to the roof supposing that
the building was only on fire on. the outside but upon investigation found that
the flames had burned through and the
interior of tho garret waa inveloped in a
mass of flames. The fire company laboring under drficultics wcro soon on the
scese and by hard work attinguis'hed the
fire, but not until it had distroyed the
entire upper portion of the upright. The
loss on hausshold goods ir/as about S128
and ihe damages on the house is estimated at about $600. It is covered by insurance. Me. Shaver thinks the fire or-
riginated from a spark froi_ the chimney-
lighting on the kitchen under the cornioo
of the -upright. The house will be repaired and repapered at once.

Matt Tatman, procured Fred Lister's
wheel to ride out to the grove meeting at
Dushville Sunday. While there, someone took a fancy to the wheel and tried
to appropriate it to their own use by
stealing and h'ding it away in tho woods.
Not until Monday was the wheel found
and then by a mere chance as it was
very adroitly secreted. The party who
stole the wheel is suspected.
Medical men have repeatedly declared
that the cyclist, whether man or woman,
who doubles up the body while ridingbe-
comes physically deformed, presents a
most ungraceful appearance, invites
spinal disease, and looses a great part of
the benefit that might otherwise occur
from the exercise. A clergyman, in Denver, Colo., has, however, made a much
more wonderful declaration. Cycling on
Sunday has been his theme, and he has
stated solemnly that "there are 10,000
men going to hell on bicycles."—Michi-
Cyolist.
The question often comes up, how
fastis a bicycle going? If the rider
revolves ■ Ms petals once in a second
you may be sure that he is riding faster
than eight miles an hour. If his bicycle
is geared at 60, one revolution a second
will carry him 1GJJ£ miles an hour; if at
68, his speed is half a mile f astei; at 68 it
is 12% miles; at 72at is almost 13}£. One

rider of a 60 gear can legally travel. It
will be advisable for riders to test these
figures for themselves and ihey will no
longer be under a false impression as to
whether spectators know or do not know
how fast they are riding.
You are pedaling qmietly in a little
ttSad. A hen appears seeking adventure.
Douyou think she will look out and let
you pass? Not much, she will land
squarely in your front wheel. Xou make
a great effort and try to avoid her and if
you succeed, be sure she does not soman-
oeUver as to get tangled up in the roar
wheel. A cyclist who can triumph over
a determined pullet is really an expert.
Nc-t many like to make the experiment.
The animal looks for the safety as apiece
of glass seeks for tha pneumatice. That
is well understood. Sometimes it. happens that you run over the chicken and
if no one sees you all is well. But oftnor
the chicken causes a fall. Tho dog is
terrible* She hen is vroae. The duck
only inspires Ji limited confidence/ but
sometimes gets out of the way.-^Miohi-
