day morning between Chase and
Clare, A large crowd was present
to witness the game and after the 1st
innings they were treated to a very
fine exhibition. Bellenger was put
into the box at first, but the Chase
boys began striking him hard, pounding tha bal I unmercifully, and this,
with a heavy hit to left field, when
the ball-got lost in a potato patch and
three men came in, enabled Chase to
make 8 scores. Thus was the game
virtually lost at tbe start.     Bobert
Musseli took the pitcher's position in
the second innings and stayed there,
surprising everybody by his almost
perfect control of the ball. Chase
pounded the air pretty much all the
time during the rest of the game,
making only four or five scattered
hits and scoring only three more runs
in the eight innings. McGaffigan did
splendid work behind the bat, and all
the players gave excellent support,
working hard to overcome Chase's
lead, but the latter watched them
close and were four ahead at the finish . Below is the score:
12   8   4   5   6
Chase, 8   10   10   0

Howard City and Big Bapids clubs
played in the afternoon, the former
winning, 10 to 8. Neither club would
stay over night and it was decided
that Chase and Clare would play the
decisive game for the championship
this morning.
