The tamous team from "Oubia"
was here day before yesterday, winning from the Clare League team hy
a soirye o! 10 to ri in a game that was
stubbornly contested but never much
in doubt as t.i the outcome.
Tho line up of the home team was
changed somewhat, rather to its die-
advantage, hard hitting O. Flew being out on account of injuries. The
visitors did sense ragged fielding,
too, but only ou grounders which are
hard to pick up on tbe grounds here.
Our fielders dropped one or two flies
which were rather difficult considering the broken Held, but which shouid
have been gobbled by an A 1 gardener. The dark skinned brethren were
old-time sluggers, however, and only
the best kind of twirling could keep
them down. Fleweling pitched
eight innings, and Pelcher, two, botb
being hit freely, and both being
tempted not to put them over.
This shows that we can do better
around home:

From the beauty of   the hills,
And   the   sunshine,   warm   and
der,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We  may   read   love's   shining   letter
In the rainbow of the fepray ;
Wo    shall    know   eaeh   other
When      the      mists     have

If we err in human blindness
And iorget thjit we nre dust.
If we nuns the law of kindness
Wheu we struggle to oe just.
Snowy   wings    of   peace   shSll   cover
All the anguish of the day.
When the weary watch is over
and the mists have cleared away.
When  the   silver   mists   have   veiled
us
From the faces of onr  own.
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone.
We should see them near   and   truly,
We     should     trust    them   day    by-
day,
Neither love nor blame unduly
If the mists were cleared away.
Wben   the   mists    have   risen   above
us.
As tbe father knows his own,
Face to   face   with   those   that   love
us,
We shall know as we are known.
So byond the orient meadows
Flouts the golden fringe of day.
Heart to heart we'll bide tbe shadows
Till tbe mists have cleared away.

Over Alma   Last  Friday   Fastest!
Game of Season.
We had a ball game in town 1- st
Friday.
The league leaders came over from ,
Alma that da\ to get theirs.
No, they didn't admit they were go- ]
ing to get beaten ,   but   they    knew ii j
and we knew  it.      So   that   simplit'ed
matters a   good   deal   to   start   with.
Of course,  certain   forms   had   to   be
complied with   to   make   it   legal,   as i
the lawyers say - each   team   took its :
turn at hat and in tne   Held, the    urn-:
pir.   called it one thing or the   other, :
ami a good crowd of semi-domesticat- ,
ed   fans   looked   o n   with   eyes   and :
mouth.    But we had word   from Fate |
that the game was   to   be   ours,   and j
that   party  bas   a   nabit    of   making |
things come out her way.
After all, what lees could you expect from a bunch of fast players like
Clare boasts of now, when the Tuesday before, a game bad been taken
away from them just for want of an
umpire. Perhaps under the same
conditions, any of us would form a
nasty resolve to win tbat game or die.
Now that we've got tbe philosophy

FEILD DAY
Celebration      Abandoned
Fireman.
By
Last week announcement was made
that the firemen b*id decided to abandon the attempt to hold a celebration
on Aug. 19 is planned. The reason
assigned was a lack of financial interest on the part of business men.
We have not inquired and do not
know who bas subscribed for the pur-
what kind of a game it was. To begin witb an umpire waa on hand and
bad the goods with him. Once or
twice, his plate decisions might have
been questioned a little,   but  on   tbe
; whole he knew his business, and was
I satisfied to let the best team win.
And tbe best team did win, Alma being clearly outplayed at every stage
of the game, only missing a shut-out
from the fact tbat Pelcher was a little
too generous about patting them over
j the plate in tbe last inning. Both
teams played errorless ball, which
made the contest a fine one for the
spectator.
Clare counted two in the third when
j Chappell was hit by pitcher but forced out at second. Pelcher came a-
long with a hit, as did O. Plew who
came up next, scoring Biystone. LeRoy was also hit by pitcher, Smith
hitting afounder which brought Peleh-
renewal or back, and these votes will
not be changed   or   added   tc   during

unkind feeling toward our firemen or ) remaininK in tbe Rame. \ constitute the committee:
a lack of appreciation of their   work. '
There   are   many   good   things   that
might reasonably be expected from
such a celebration. Manufacturers
of fire apparatus improve the opportunity to show new inventions and
the competitive spirit awakened by
observing tbe work of other firemen
would be valuable. But tbere is another side to tbe subject.
Under present conditions every one
knows tbat it would simply mean a
carnival of drunkenness. Our restaurants, ice cream, soda and notion
stands are all right and every one is
glad of their successful trade. Tbey
would be benefitted by a celebration,
but aside from these, not a single
legitimate line of trade would be
benefitted a penny. People do not
come in on such occasions for the
purpose of trading. The sole other
beneficiaries would oe the saloons.
To ask a man who believes in sobriety
and decency to go down into his pocket to help pay for a wholesale drunk is
just a little too much. The city is
sufficiently disgraced with the plain
everyday drunks without attempting
to increase the business

But the fourth was the real big inning. After two had gone on another
double play, Chappeli got a clean hit
and went to second on a baik, tbe
next two drew passes, and two scored on tbe second clean hit for O.
Plew. Here it was considered advise-
able to change pitchers, and Johnson
accordingly went in. But LeRoy
caught his first tbrow on the nose for
a two bagger, bringing in two more
runs. Smith ended it by lifting a high
one. Tbe last run came wben O.
Plew again found tbe ball, tbis time
for a triple and ran bome on a bit by

one and got an easy grounder to pat
out the other. In the seventh, Wood
drew a pass, went to B6coud on an
out, and stole third. But the next
two could only bit short ones that
were gobbled by tbe infield. O. Plew
helped spoil this rally by grabbing a

only scores for Alma came in the
ninth on three bits and atunk on the
fingers after one was out.
