FORMER  RESIDENT PASSES
Oscar Stimpson Died At His Home In
Ypsilanti Last Thursday.
Oscar Stimpson, who had heen in
failing health for the past two years,
died quite suddenly at his home in
Ypsilanti Thursday morning, February 1, 1917.
Deceased, who was the youngest of
three sons, "William, Ornon and Oscar
Stimpson, of Theodore and Emily
Stimpson, who came from New York
to Michigan in 1840, was horn on the
old farm now owned by Ralph Hammond, in Saline township, February
14, 1841, and later purchased the
homestead! where he remained until
1890 when he moved to Milan. He
remained there for two years, returning to the farm for six years', whejn
he sold out and moved into Saline village. Here they lived until in June,
1911, then purchasing the home in
Ypsilanti where he died.
O^car -was; a great admirer of a
good horse and in his day was known
as one of the best and fastest drivers
on the track.

This is a very busy week, social on
Wednesday, prayer meeting Thursday
evening, Y. P. S. C. E. business meeting Friday evening at the jaaesonage,
and the eoncert Saturday evening at

go to church on Sunday?   I hope not.
The young men's class in the Sabbath school is growing in interest and
numbers under the leadership of their
teacher, Frank Smith.
Last Sahbaah was cold and stormy.
Many were kept at home, still the
attendance was good for the day, and
a very fine and) impressive anthem
was rendered by the choir.
Christian Endeavor day was observed by a special program last Sab-
hath evening. The young peoples
movement in all our churches is one
of the most -remarkable evidences of
the guiding purpose of God in unifying and intensifying the activities of
His kingdom.

You will note there are no rice christ-
masses in heathen lands. They receive the gospel and pass it on, by
their generous offerings.
The. great apostle in all of his
touch with his base of supplies,
eventful life, ever kept ini close
There was not a moment but He realized the conscience presence of
Christ, who led him to triumphant
victory. Be careful, the devil may
come a flank movement and cut off
your base of supplies.
Indoor Games Characterized by Good
Plays and Plenty of Runs.
As promised in last week's issue of
The Observer, the first game of indoor
base ball of the season was pulled-off
Thursday night, witnessed by only a
small crowd of fans, who "were eager
to see the "kids" break in after a
long rest. Well waxed had been the
opera house floor to accommodate
dances recently held there and its
shining, glossy surface caused many
slips and slides, some of which ended
in tumbles and mix-ups, thus lending
a lot of extra fun and amusement for
the onlookers, while the players, with
a few bumps and bruises, called it
sport.
The game was between teams 1 and
2 of the town boys, and considering
the fact that two years have passed
since their last practice, they did
well and put up a fairly good game
which resulted in a score of 18 to 23
for team 1.
It being more of a practice game
than otherwise, few •special features
can he mentioned. However, Woelp-
er's work at second must not be passed unnoticed, while W. Schmid and
R. Burkhart, catchers, each put up
good work. John Finch, who played
substitute short for two innings,
made two fine' putouts on first base
line. Pitcher^ K. Boettger made one
fine catch" and double play with
Schmid, and the fine stop of John
Schleh at short and double to first
were exceptionally good plays.
Wheeler made a fine double play at
second unassisted. Skinner, for team
1, and Boettger for team 2, each
pitched good-ball. There were other
good plays and. all in all the game
may be considered a good one and
worthy of the spectators who witnessed it.

THE RACE IS ON
Monday night's game between team
1 and the school team was, in matters
of scores, a rather one sided contest,
while in poij|ts of play it was a good
game. The school boys were full of
energy and real ball life from start
to finish and with no more practice
than has been theirs! to-enjoy, they
showed many points of the real ball
player and gave the older "kids"
some plays difficult to meet.
Team number 1 did not seem as
enthusiastic as might be expected,
but kept up a steady gait, winning
by a score of 37 to 8. Skinner, pitcher, after last week's game was a little
sore and experienced difficulty of control, often being wild in his delivery.
The team is to be congratulated on a
few line plays; Burkhart's double to
Sturm and Rogers' fly catch,, were
worthy of, note; Skinner carried! off
the score honors by seven times
across the plate.
Of the school team, Dell carried off
the batting honors by making good at
nearly every time up. Finch pitched
five innings and did good work, but
when Orr took the box in the sixth
and retired the side with three fans
it looked as though something, was
to happen, but the change, came too
late, their score being too far below
their .opponents. Westphal's catch of
a hot liner was a notable feat for his
side.
Tonight teams 2 and 3 will play.
