BASE BALL - i - -| — - l - - i - - ■■ ■ - Gapt. Benway and Coach Orowly, after a few days work out on the field of the grammar school days, transported their bunch of stale yet promising prospectives from the round house to Merrill Park, and began work in earnest. By the time the suits were washed, mended and patched, a base- ball team was picked, and we were ready for the first game. Some of the players were green, and most of the letter men were playing new positions, with the exception of Brooks, who continues to serve the stuff from the mound. This first game, in consistency with tradition, was with ,;the alumni. We defeated the College Boys — even injured one. The first real game was with Flint, and so was the score — 3 to 2. The next week Lansing took a whack at us with 17 to 13 score. We fol- lowed this by another defeat at Bay City 3 to against us. The following, Saturday we solved the problem and sent this team on to the field in new suits. Saginaw was amazed, in fact overwhelmed with both the team and the new suits and we beat them in a game, which reads 8 to 9. The suits are working fine, and the fellows in them; we beat Bay City Eastern by a score of to 4. This game probably ends this season. Moral : It pays to buy suits.
