After t he first half of the fifth inning the score stood 8 to 2 in favor of the visitors but in the last half M. A. C. fell onto McBride's curves and helped by errors scored four runs. At this stage of the game everyone called to mind what hap pened to the U. of M. and took heart. T he score was tied in the seventh and the Alma players gave signs of nervousness. In the ninth A l ma came to bat determined to win out. T he visitors scored two runs in their half and things looked bad for M. A. C.

He was looking for a student to assist him in caring for his show ani mals which are to be exhibited in the west in the fall. T he debating club last Thursday evening considered whether or not it would be advisable to build more walks on the campus. T he opinion seemed to prevail that this would not be advisable. It was argued that more walks would not prevent the " sheep paths" which is the chief thing complained of at present. Umpire McLaughlin, w ho offici ated at the K a l a m a z o o - M. A.

He has come to this conclusion after deliberation and announces that the contest was " no game," reversing his former decision. It would seem now that the M. I. A.
