GOOD BALL BAME.
Harrison Defeated By Score Of
Seven to Three.
Clare has a ball team* again. We
have had a picked, up team", ft few-
times this year that offered hope?
but lacked organization. The present team includes most of; the old
faces and is under the managemen i
of K. L. Hulet. They journeyed to
Coleman last Friday, defeating the
fast team there, and Wednesday the
team from the capital under Manager Murphy came down and received
a trimming.
Harrison came down in some style.
The little Herman band of the Pittsburg resorters enlivened the air with
"Everybody's doin' it", and helped
Harrison with considerable rooting
and comedy as well as a little baseball, three of the Pittsburgers playing in the game.
Lafant oi Mt. Pleasant was in the
box for Clare and held Harrison well
in hand, beside contributing some
offensive work of hi* own including
a steal of home. Schwani for Harrison didn't pitch at all badly and' if
he could have avoided one bad in-
ining when Clare amassed its margin
of four runs the game might be going yet.
Harrison started the scoring in the
third, acquiring a two run lead by
virtue of hits by Gossine, Sunday
and Obcrmeier, thp beaning of Kerns
and one error. Clare got one in the
same inning when Potter bit and got
the rest of the way while two men
were being thrown out at first.
In the 5th Clare took the lead, Potter getting on by taking a third strike
at a bad ball that went through the
catcher; White doubled to right;
Wilson bumped one to the pitcher
who tried to get Potter at the plate
but the catcher dropped the ball. In
the meantime Wilson was racing for
second and the catcher made a bad
peg to get him and White scored.
In the 6th Harrison threatened,
getting two on with none oat, but
Lafant fanned the next three men.
The home team raised Borne hopes
also with two on, and Lafant made
two clever attempts to steal home,
the first attempt being foiled by a
foul and the second by a third strike
which ended the inning.
In the 7th Harrison went out In order, but this proved Clare's big inn-
_^ing. Empey was safe on a fly to center, the fielder having too big a load
of fat and one thing another to get
to it. Potter singled. White fanned.
Wilson popped an infield fly but the
umpa didn't so call it, an infielder
dropped it and the bases were fall.
Forbes forced Empey at the plate,
leaving three on with two out. Infant hit a doable clearing the bases,
took third on a peg to the plate and
etole home on the next pitch. Huble
doubled and stole third but Stone
fanned.    Score, Clare 7 —Harrison 2.
In the 6th with one down Ringling,
the Pittsburg leading comedian, informed everybody he was going to
bunt and then hit the first ball to the
timber for a double. Finch rapped
to the infield and on an overthrow
of third, Ringling scored the final
run. Clare got a man to third in the
same session but he was caught off
the bag. In the 9th Harrison went
out one, two, three, and the ever
ready German band struck up a dirge.
The score:
Harrison 00    2    000010
Clare 0010    2    004*
Umpires: Green, Harrison; Higgins, Clare.
Score keeper: Alien, Harrison.

A PASTOR'S APPEAL
How Business  Men   May   Help
a Good Cause.
There arc preachers and preachers.
Some of theae would just as soon approach a business man who happened
to be on good terms with him, and
was a jolly good fellow, and ask him
to dig down and dig np. Bat the
Clare Baptist preacher wouldn't.
To Bave time and type let us say
that tbe Baptist peqple are about to
make some much needed repairs to
tbe parsonage. Tbere are no million-
aries in the church, and any assistance tbat any of our townspeople
might see fit to joyfully render, would
be accepted gratefully by both people
and pastor.
However, tbe job is going. Tbe
preacher expects to vote for Alward
for Congress, but he is enough of a
MooseveR to see that tbe jo"b goes
through whether donations are received or not.
And this statement ia not to be
understood that the Baptist pastor is
trying to get any of Mr. Alwards'
campaign fund in tbe parsonage.
No, No. It just means that be believes that Heavsn and heavenly-
minded business men help those that
help themselves.
Baptists are not bad people, and
tbe preacher wants a cellar in which
to siore bis potatoes and huckleberries. Some of the business men
will be glad to say—I helped.
A dollar placed with Mr. Kirkbride
will find iu way into tbe preacher's
box, and thence Into the building
fund.    Thank you.
I. W. Knight, Pastor.
For Representative.

! as a farmer and in the   line   of   busi-
; ness that has brought him   into   wide
I aud constant   contact   with   farmers
peculiarly   fits   hira    to   intelligently
legislate  in   their   interest.       As   he
states, the northern half of tbe coun-

Broken Leg.
Chris Nass arrived home Saturday
from Germfasa, Upper Michigan, suffering from a broken leg, received in
a rather peculiar manner. One of

IN THE TOILS
Bootlegger Is   Caught With  The
Goods.
W. C. Dunlap, better known perhaps
as "Beecber" Dunlap, of Farwell

before Justice Thurston on Monday
and examination set for to-day. W«
are informed that a case is pending
against bim for non-support, bis wife
and two children receiving no ^assistance from him, while he "waste3 his
substance in riotous living." He
has long been suspected of bootlegging and we understand that the
officers now have a clear case against
bim. If facts are as stated, ho is one
cf tbat class who should be in some
work-bouse and his family have tbe
benefit of his earnings.
Auto Accident.
Last Monday morning Dr. Gray

□ nable to climb back to tbe road before reaching tbe bridge and crashed
over the side into tbe creek. Dr.
Gray waa pinned by. tbe steering

The many friends of Geo. Thompson will be interested In tbe following from the Racine Journal:

Thompson of tbe Manual Training
department cf the Racine public
schools will be tendered to the board
of education, Mr. Thompson having
accepted a position with the 3. C.
Johnson company of this city. He
has been in tbe service of the department for tbe past two years."
New Manager.
Claro Is on tbe   map   all  right  and
the people of   Chicago   know    where
we   ars   located   now.      The    Detroit
News   on   Tuesday   morning    had' a
cut of thp   notables   at   the   Progressive convention and the biggest   man
in   tbo   group    was   our    own    Tom
Sotham.    He is   explaining  to   Cecil
Lyon   of    Texas    the    reasons    why j
every man in his township   will   vote I
for Roosevelt.    Those big badges  for'
Roosevelt  and    Bryan   occupy   most j
prominent   places   on   Mr.   Sotham'sj
person.    We   will   wager  that   every!
body   at   the   convention   will   know'
that our distinguished representative j
from Lake George is   there.

Mr. Coors is now to devote most of

at Summit. We presume that wben
people hereafter want pointers on

of every body and all will watch his
experimental farm with interest.

EXACTLY
And That Shows  They  Should
Have The Ballot.
('rand Rapids, Micb., July 23.—Behind guarded doors hero Monday
afternoon, retail liquor dealers of
Michigan assembled ostensibly to
form a stat«-, association, but primarily to inaugurate a state wide
movement to combat tbe woman suffrage campaign now being waged in
Michigan. Every county was represented.
Tbe opposition to the woman's
rigbt to vote comes from a reported
fear that If thoy are allowed suffrage,
a prohibition movement that may
sweep the liquor interests off the map
will result.
A Dangerous Crank.
A new and remarkable form of
crank has appeared on the scene.
Gitford Picchot, who is supposed to
be somewhat iu favor of the conservation of our natural resource, seems
to bave imbibed tbe idea tbat his
Washington residence wu undervalued in comparison witb thoae of
hia neighbors, and be hired experts
at bis own expense to look tbe matter np. These experts reported that
a raise ot 117,000 in Mr. Plnchot'a
property would be about tbe proper
thing, and now tbis man farther manifested his extraordinary mania by
applying to the authorities to bave
bis assessment raised tbe above
amount. What is tbe world coming
to anyway?

Gross Carelessness,
On Wednesday of last week as
Mrs. W. II. Elden was returning
home from this city to tbeir farm
north of town, a shot of small size
struck her inflicting a painful, though
probably not dangerous, flesh \round.
The shot was tired by some person
out of sight and very likely with no
wrong intent: but it might easily
haveinfiicte1 a d«ng?rous or even
fatal wound. Peoplo should exercise?
aome care how they shoot in a vicinity wbere people are liable to pas?
any moment.
