Legion Junior League Baseball
Team Beats Mt. Pleasant
Here Last Week
The Clare Softball League got off
to a fine start, as far as the players
j were concerned, last Monday, but the
fans seem to have forgotten that such
a league exists. Monday's games,
played under threatening weather
conditions, were rather lopsided, but
the Tuesday games were red hot affairs.        „
On Monday, Farwell defeated Temple 12-3 and the VFW took Schaeffer's
to camp 18-5. Farwell and the VFW
played their usual stellar brand of
ball in winning their initial starts,
while Temple and Schaeffer's contributed to their own downfall with some
rather loose play. Both losers are
capable of better ball and can be
counted on being tough when they
hit their stride.
A vastly improved Church of God

It is understood tbat a petition of
the Ann Arbor Railroad to discontinue
passenger service through Clare" is
scheduled To be heard by the Michigan Public Service Commission at
Lansing, Monday,  June. 28th.
Petitions are being circulated in the
communities served by 'the railroad
requesting the Public Service Commission to reject the railroad company's petition, because it is felt that
discontinuance of passenger service
to these communities would cause a
great inconvenience, if not a hardship,
to business firms and individuals.
It is an accepted opinion that the
passenger service itself is being furnished at a loss to the company, but
United States Mail and Railway Express contracts should offset this condition, and the Ann Arbor Railroad
furnishes the only north and south
mail and express service to many communities served by its lines.    *
Public opinion here is that the
freight revenue from the heavy freight
traffic on the railroad through Clare,
together with the mail and express
revenue to the railroad, should make
it feasible for the continuance of passenger service, if the railroad company is to retain its franchise.

Wild Elgisorus
Captured By Clare
Young Lady Tues.
The wild elgisorus, which escaped
from the Amangle Mated Barndoor
and Bailedhay Circus, Inc., at Rosebush, causing the residents of the
community many sleepless nights and
watchful days, is back in Captivity,
due" to the ..courage and ingenuity of
a Clare young lady.
Early this week'Mrs. Dorothy Byers
Rowley, of Clare, discovered tracks in
the vicinity of the Byers home that
resembled those found on Memorial
Field at Rosebush, and with fearlessness and intuition beyond the ken
of mere man, captured the beast and
crated it for shipment to Harvey Lowery, at Rosebush, but while she was
in search of the local Railway Express
agent the wily elgisorus escaped.
However, with the encouragement
of close friends, Dorothy set -out to
repeat the hitherto unheard of feat
of capturing the beast single-handed,
and on Tuesday evening her efforts
were rewarded. " She first spotted two
ghastly, piercing • spears of greenish
glaring light in the darkness and put
every bit of her sweet, persuasive personality into play to get the "beast
back into the cage and before dawn
her feat was accomplished. This
time thfe crate was placed safely
aboard the morning Ann Arbor express train and under the guard of
armed express messengers was delivered to Mr. Lowery—collect.
We Understand that there are a
number of,,species of wild elgisorus,
but the- one captured here was of the
tacyella family, a carnivorous and
sometimes vicious night prowler by
nature, whose fiendish yowls are often
heard in the dead of tlie night near its
natural habitat.
Despite its savage nature the beast
j has been known in some instances
to have been house-broken and trained as a pet for a child or mascot for
a fire department.
It is understood that Dorothy will
use the liberal^reward offered for the
capture of the beast as the nucleus of
a fund to establish a home for aged
and battle bruised- elgisoruses.
Despite threatening weather, more
than 600 Clare Manufacturing Company employees ancl members of their
families gathered at the Clare County
Fair grounds at Harrison last Saturday for their annual picnic, with approximately 400 adults and 200 children present for the gala event.
At 10:00 o'clock it was announced
over the public address system that
the children's sports events and entertainment program would take place
before the grandstand, to provide the
spectators shelter from the mist that
threatened momentarily to turn into
rain.
Charles Hawley presided as master
of ceremonies and entertainment included:
Russell Budd—tap dancing.
Jean McLaughlin—steel guitar selections.
Chuck Smith ajid His Drifting Pioneers,
Delia Mester and Evelyn Schroeder
-—hillbilly acts and songs.

Children's games with prizes galore
and nearly every child -v?on one.
Adults' games with plenty of prizes.
In the men's softball game Farwell
defeated the Clare Manufacturing
Company, team 7-6.
Dinner was served at 1:00 o'clock,
with chef Art Damoth preparing approximately 200 pounds of delectable
barbecued beef and ham, augmented
by' pdtato salad, baked beans, cake,
ice cream and coffee. There was sufficient food for all to have their fill,
despite the ravenous appetites which
were developed by the outdoor recreation.
■There was plenty of ice cream and
soft'drinks for everyone, with candy,
bubble gum and balloons for all of
the children, and these picnic tasties
were served all-day long as the guests
desired them.
Hot dogs and coffee were served
in the evening and entertainment included juke box music and songs at
the piano by "Sully Sullivan."
Alice Eaton Won first prize, a combination portable and electric Philco
radio.' ■    '
Delia Mester won second prize, a
table model Philco radio.
*; A .22 calibre rifle Was won by Wm.
Armentrout in the rifle shooting ^contest.  ,    *
Horseshoe pitching and dancing
Were enjoyed throughout the day.
The Clare Manufacturing Company,
although affiliated with the Holley
Carburetor Company, has come to
be known as a local organization, interested in local civic affairs, and
employee-management relation's are
maintained on a high level of satisfaction, as is indicated by this annual
event which becomes nltOre successful
each year.
The Houses Take
Heifer to Gladwin
Sell to Neighbor
Floyd and Earl House Won mention
last Week when their Hereford cattle
placed high at the annual beef sale in
Gladwin. The Houses had a heifer
which brought ?575 and the fact that
it was taken over to Gladwin and then
sold to a neighbor, Karl Ouderkirk,
aroused quite a little amusement.
Ouderkirk bought the animal as a
graduation present for his son, Richard,
the House farm bull brought $(325
and was judged reserve champion.
j The bull was sold to Frank Littlefield
of Clare county.
. Rosebush Memorial Field committeemen called attention to the fact
that the beef which will be featured
at the Fourth of July celebration in
this village will be from the House
farm.

levels this spring have been normal,
they say.

unchanged. The size limit on blue-
gills, sunfish, perch, rock bass and
calicoes still is six inches; the daily-
creel limit 'is 25 in any combination,
except that not more than 15 of the
total may be bluegills. A more liberal perch limit of 50 is allowed on
most Great Lakes waters. Black bass
.must be at lea^st 10 inches long, and
the bass daily,Creel limit is five bass
alone, or five bass and pike combined
if pike are taken also.
Frog legs also become available
June 25', and the frogging season continues .through November 15. Principal restrictions on froggers is that
they may not spear at night with
artificial light.
