The Alter tile mill ball team defeated Pleasant Ridge at ball Bnnday by the score of 14 to 13. The Ridge had their visitors 10 to 2 at the end of the sixth inning, when Harley Rowen went in to pitch for the clay moulders. His slants were hard for the Ridgers to find and at the same time the Ridge fielders took a baloon ascension and before they came down the drainage promoters had made fourteen scores. Alf. Lowman for the Ridge aQd Zard for the tile mill played good ball at shortstop. As Firman Thompson, Cleve Eger and Hurley Beam were projecting around out east of Pleasant Ridge Sunday afternoon, probably with the primary object of sizing up the prospects for some successful water melon raid later in the season, they ran on to a big rattlesnake on the Thompson and Lawler ranch, whi>*h they proceeded to kill. They not only secured its string of rattles, some six or seven in number, but Cleve took its whole skin to go with them. This he will preserve and keep as a trophy. -
