COLLEGE REPORT OF BASEBALL GAME

writer Tells of Pitchers’ Battle Between Clark and Maloney—The Bunched Hits Won Game.

■>s Although ‘ reporting the same game reported in Thursday’s Republican, the following write-up by the college correspondent to The Republican will prove interesting to fans: The college baseball team closed its scheduled season Wednesday afternoon by defeating the newly organized Rensselaer Athletics by the score pf three to nothings The game was an outright pitchers’ battle between Clark and Maloney, each giving but four hits. The Collegians succeeded in bunching theirs, whereas the visitors never got more than one jn an inning. Clark set down 14 batters by the strikeout route, while Maloney gathered in only half that number. And each team is guilty of two boots. Morgan started the work with a clean single, but was caught off second. After that It was one, two, three, until E. Wilcox got a single In the fourth. Morgan again singled in the sixth but was doubled when Conn droye a long fly to center. In the ninth Conn drove-out what ' should have been a run, the bailgoingfothehorthwestcofner of the gym, but in his hurry he failed to find second and his effort was futile. The college tossers went out in order until the flftn. Schraff drove a vicious single between third and short; Dalton was safe on a bungle; Roof sacrificed, both advancing. The next pitch was wild and Schraff scored. Then Clark proceeded to strike out the next six batters. In the eighth Curby singled, Maloney was safe on an error. Daniel’s single over second scored the two. Fitzgerald, ended the work by striking out. The score: St. Joseph ....0-0-0-0-1-00-2-0—3 4 2 Rensselaer . ...Ofl-O-O-O-O-O-Otl—o 4 2 Batteries: Maloney and Roof; Clark: and Wilcox. Umpires: McLain and Havorka.

Thursday Evening Band Coneert Drew Big Crowd.

There was a large crowd on the streets Thursday evening to enjoy the weekly band concert and some estimate that it was the largest crowd of the year. Almost 100 automobiles were standing on the streets within a block of the band stand. About twenty-five people were here from Francesville and there were autoes from other towns. Thtf*band discourses splendid music. Prof. Otto Braun, the instructor, has been in % very poor health for several months and has not been here since Decoration Day, and it is understood his condition is such as to cause considerable alarm. Some spinal trouble and lung trouble have almost got the best of him. It is possible that he will have to change climate to be benefited. His sickness is a matter of regret to all the band boys and to all who know him. John Healy Is leading the band during Prof. Braun’s absence.

BACHELOR QUARTERS BURNED TO GROUND

He used an alcohol stove in the preparation of his meals and this exploded and the small bungalow was entirely enveloped in flames and he was unable to save any of the contents of the building. The loss was about SBOO, which was partially covered by insurance in the R. f). Thompson agency. The bungalow was built about a year ago and consisted of two rooms and a shed for Trevor’s automobile Fortunately the auto was not in the shed when the Hire started.

Trip About Rensselaer Shows Many Fine Homes.

A trip about Rensselaer shows that almost every person has responded with vigor to the appeal to give speci al'a ttention this year to the care of lawns and gardens. There are many delightful homes in all‘parts of town and the,evenly mowed lawns, blossoming flowers, clean gardens, etc., certainly are worthy of many words of praise The writer has not made a very thorough inspection and has., no authority from the civic federation to make any comment on the premises, but there are some model gardens that we believe several may like to see and we wish to call attention to the garden of Albert Brand on Webster street, that of

Sylvester Gray on North College avenue,, and of W. A. Davenport on Elm street. Mr. Brand reports that he las had both potatoes and peas Tom, his garden and Mr. Davenport has had peas. Mr. Brand expects in a week or ten days to dig his early potatoes and to then plant ate sweet cord, which he will have in succession until it is killed by ;he frosts next fall. Sylvester Gray has a patch of raspberry vines .that are really an ornamentation to his premises. They are evenly trimmed, of fine foliage and the ground about them spotlessly clean.Many lawns are more attractive than they ever were 'before and show that their keepers have given them every attention. At a number of the California privet makes a fine hedge, which can be trimmed evenly and does not interfere with the mowing of the lawn as does a fence. The privet is extensively used in the most fashionable (residential sections of the east. It is stated that it will grow readily from clippings. Paint has played an important part in the beautifying of the homes in Rensselaer and many houses are being treated .to the first coat they have had in a number of years. Among the greatly improved homes is the Wilson Shafer property, at the corner of Forest and Vine streets. The house, barn, garage and other buildings have been painted a uniform color. The new front porch and the addition to the house makes it very attractive. Owing to the work that has been going on Wilson has been unable so far to get <his lawn in good shape, but within another year he will have one of the tidiest small homes in the city. The general response made to the appeals of the civic federation to keep things clean and tidy is a matter of great satisfaction to the officers of that organization and should be to every person in the city. You can tell the friends whom you are invited to visit you that they will see a clean city and one that we are all proud of.

Interesting to Have the Names of Surviving Mothers of Veterans of the Civil War.

As recalled at this time, Mrs. Mary Morgan, mother of George L. Morgan, is the only surviving mother in Rensselaer.

Nafziger farm, formerly the Ed Ranton farm, southeast of Rensselaer, was destroyed by fire, together with the contents, Thursday evening. The farm is tenanted by Will Lowman and himself and wife had retired when the flames attracted their attention and they hastened into their clothes and out to the fire. The bam was so entirely ablaze that nothing could be done to put out the fire nor to save any of the things in the barn. Fortunately the stock was all out in the pasture.. The hay and grain and all of Will’s harness was destroyed. The Republican was unable to learn whether there was any insurance on the barn, which was about 50x6(1 feet in dimensions and had an oats granary, 24x30 feet, attached. There was no known cause of the fire.
