RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1910.

STATE CONVENTION IS ON AT INDIANAPOLIS.

Lively Time. ln Prospect In Passage of Resolutions Which Will Endorse Beveridge and Declare foj| the Tariff.

A. A. Pell, of Carpenter township, U- W. Marble, of Wheatfleld, Moses Leopold, George Murray, R. B. Harris and G. E. Murray, of Rensselaer, are in attendance at the statb republican convention which will be held in Indianapolis Tuesday. The convention will doubtless he a lively affair and It is thought some dispute may arise when the resolutions are ofTered, and It is probable that there will be some evidence of dissatisfaction with Beveridge by the republicans of the state who think there is nothing materially wrong with the Payne tariff bill. Some will probably want to endorse the bill and others will favor a reaffirmation of the belief in a system of protection adjusted to meet the needs of the country at various times. Beveridge and his followers will probably favor a statement favoring reduction. That they will get together very amicably, however, there seems little doubt, and there is no reason why the republicans should not carry Indiana, as there U really very little difference In the way they believe on the tariff issue. All know that the tariff is the cardinal feature in the republican party and not many are willing to let the democratic and mugwump papers talk us out of keeping it well to the front of our party, both national and state. Here’s hoping.

High School Defeats Brook In Season’s First Ball Game.

The Rensselaer high school handed a defeat to the Brook high school at that town last Saturday. The locals are made up largely of last year’s K. O. K. A. team and has the advantage of, the organization that played so creditably last summer. Clark and Padgitt were the battery for the locals and the Brook boys took a liking to Clark’s offerings’in the first inning and made three hits, which coupled with two errors let Brook send four men across the plate. Clark tightened up then, however, got his left arm working perfectly and allowed only two more hits and gave only one pass during the remainder of the game. Padgitt was right there at the receiving end and played a fine game, while the youngsters in the diamond and field gave gilt-edged support. At the end of the 9th inning Brook had added but oqe score to the four made in the initial frame. Rens selaer, however, had been pegging along and had amassed 7 runs. Kirk led with hits, having made 4, Parks got 2 and a base on balls, Padgitt got 1 and Clark 1, making a total of 8 hits.

Weishallen and Clark were at the points for Brook and the former struck out 6 men. Howard Clark, for Rensselaer, had 9 strike-outs.

The game was umpired by Rev. J. C. Parrett, of Rensseldler, and Orpheus Lyons, of Brook. Brook will be here for a return game on Saturday, April 16tb.
