Athletic  Notes. 

T he  baseball  season  has  opened 
with  enthusiasm.  M.  A.  C.  played 
at  Hillsdale  Saturday  in  a  steady 
rain,  the  players  sliding  around  in 
the  mud,  while  the  pitchers  wiped 
off  the ball  with  a  towel  every  time, 
before  twirling  it. 

In  the  first  inning  neither 

team 
scored,  but the second  brought  Hills 
dale  one  and  M.  A.  C.  nothing. 
T he  third  inning  showed  the  home 
team  shut  out  and  M.  A.  C.  with 
two.  T he  fourth  inning  drew  lines 
of  anxiety  on  the  faces  of  the  Hills 
dale  rooters,  for  with  three  men  on 
base,  Captain  Case  touched  up  the 
ball  for a three-base  hit and  let  in  the 
three  men, which  in  turn  was  fol 
lowed  by a  fine  sacrifice  hit  by W e y-
demeyer  who  rewarded  Case  with  a 
run.  This  was  the  last  run  for  M. 
A.  C.  while  Hillsdale  added  two  in 
the  fourth  and  two more  in  the  fifth, 
when  the  score  was  6  to  5  in  favor 
of  M.  A. C.  T he  sunshine  of  hope 
glittered  on  the  faces  of  the  Hills 
dale  fans  in  the last  half  of  the  sixth 
first  man  at  bat 
inning,  for 
made  a  pretty  base  hit,  while  the 
second  got  his  base  on  balls.  T he 
third  man  struck  out, and  a  double 
steal  advanced  the runners  to  second 
and  third  bases. 

their 

T he  rain  came  down  steadily,  the 
ball  was  saturated,  two men  were  on 
bases  and  only  one  out,  the  rooters 
extravagant  vocal  and 
performed 
incantations;  but  Hodges 
physical 
stood 
imperturbable;  and  with  su 
perb  nerve  and  head  work  struck 
out  the next  two  batters. 

T he  sunshine  disappeared 

from 
the  Hillsdale  faces  and  the  heavens 
continued  to  weep. 

W h en  the  team  came  back  they 
were  met  at  the  entrance  to  the 
campus  by  the  student  body  with 
'bus  and  band.  T he  students 
then 
hauled 
through  the 
the  ball  team 
grounds  by  hand,  headed  by  the 
band. 
It  was  a  fitting  reception  to 
the  boys,  and  shows  the  spirit  of 
M.  A.  C. 

As  the  result  of  the  preliminary 
field  day  on  Saturday  the  following

different  kinds  of  power  at  present 
in  use  on  the  farm;  namely,  steam 
engines,  gas  engines,  wind  mills 
and  electric  motors.  None  of  these 
fulfills  the  needs  of  the  farmer  in  all 
respects.  All  things  being  equal, 
the  windmill  is  the  most  economical 
and  desirable.  Steam  engines  are 
most  commonly  used  and  give  an 
even  power,  which  can  be  regulated 
at  will, but  are  more  expensive  than 
the  gas  engine  which  can  also  be 
put  to  work  quickly,  and  is  free 
from  the  danger  of  boiler  explosion, 
but  it  does  not  give  even  power.

Another  Alumnus  Gone. 

Once  more  Father  Time  has 
visited  the  ranks  of  the  M.  A.  C. 
alumni,  taking  away,  not  its  oldest, 
but  one  of  its  youngest  members. 

"  Not only the bearded  grass. 
But the flowers that  grow  between." 

Mr.  C.  E.  Townsend  was  born 
Sept.  22, 1S73, and  died  at  his  home 
in  Onondaga,  Mich.  April  13, 1900. 
Mr.  Townsend  graduated  from  this 
college  with 
the  class  of  '98.  He 
was  a  thorough  student,  an  active 
member  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A., and 
the  friend  of  all  w ho  knew  him. 
He  was  one  of 
the  contestants  in 
the  oratorical  contest  of  the  spring 
term  of  '98  and  won  second  honors, 
and  his  prospects  for  the 
future 
were  bright. 

After 

leaving  college,  he  spent 
one  year  in  teaching,  when  he  was 
taken  ill  and  compelled 
to  return 
home.  His  parents,  finding  that  he 
did  not  improve  under  the  medical 
treatment  at  home  sent  him  to  the 
Hartman  Sanitarium  at  Columbus, 
Ohio.  Even  here  he  improved  but 
slightly,  finally,  he  returned  again 
to  his  old  home  at  Onondaga  where 
he  died  on  the  13th  inst.

T he  funeral  was  an  imposing  one

and  relatives.  T h e re  was  a  beauti

choicest  ones  being

T he  cause  of  M r.  Townsend's 
sickness  was  thought,  at  first,  to  be 
catarrh  of  the  stomach  and  a  dis 
eased  condition  of  the  sympathetic 
nerves,  but  a  post-mortem  examina 
tion  proved 
that  his  death  was 
caused  by  the  pancreas  failing  to

We  are  very  glad  to  know  that 
this  opportunity  for 
further  study 
has  come  to  Prof.  Mumford,  not 
only  for  his  sake,  but  because  when 
he  returns  to  his  duties  at  the  col

than  now  to  instruct  the  young  men

fact 

N ot  long  ago,  mention  was  made 
of 
that  Wendell  Pad 
dock,  '93,  of  the  Experiment  Sta 
tion  at  Geneva,  N ew  Y o r k,  had 
succeeded 
in  discovering  the  cause 
of  a  scab  to  be  found  on  the  trunks 
and  large  limbs  of  some  apple  trees; 
and  a  little  later,  Prof.  A.  B.  Cord-
ley,  '88,  of  Oregon,  had  discovered 
the  cause  of  another  scab  common 
trunks  of  apple 
on  the  limbs  and 
trees  in  that  state.  T h e re  were  two 
knotty  problems  well  worked  up.

the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture,  regarding  the  qual

a  student  must  learn  a little  of  many 
things,  but  not  enough  of  any  one 
thing 
to  make  his  knowledge  of 
much  value  either  as  training  or  as 
information.  A  good  education  is 
to  be  obtained,  not  by 
learning 
many  things  imperfectly,  but  by  a 
deep  study  of  a  few  things."

T he  Old  Daguerreotypes. 

BY  J OE  LINCOLN. 

Up  in the attic  I found  them,  locked  in the 

cedar  chest, 

Where  the  flowered  gowns  lie  folded,  which 

once  were  brave  as the  best; 

And,  like  the  queer  old jackets  and the 

waistcoats  gay  with  stripes, 

They  tell  of a  worn-out  fashion—these  old 

daguerreotypes. 

Quaint  little folding  cases fastened  with  tiny 

hook, 

Seemingly  made-to  tempt  one to lift  up the 

latch  and  look ; 

Linings  of purple  velvet,  odd little  frames 

of  gold, 

Circling  the faded  faces  brought  from  the 

days  of old. 

•Grandpa  and  grandma,  taken  ever  so  long 

ago, 

Grandma's  bonnet  a marvel,  grandpa's  col

Mother,  a  tiny  toddler,  with  rings  on  her 

baby  hands 

Painted—lest  none  should  notice—in  glitter 

ing,  gilded  bands. 

Aunts  and  uncles  and  cousins,  a  starchy 

and  stiff  array, 

Lovers  and brides, then  blooming,  but  now 

so  wrinkled  and  gray.

Gpening  the quaint  old cases  with  a  smile
