Grays Strike Gait and Take Three Games

Toe Grays have at last struck their gait and are now playing great ball. From the weak hitting team of several weeks ago they have developed into one of the best “stick” teams in this section. Ou Wednesday afternoon the beys went over to Winona to play the strong “Winona Reds” of that place. The Reds are composed of college players and carry four salaried players and have been playing good ball all season. The game Wednesday was one of the most ' exciting games of the season, although somewhat loosely played. At the end of the fifth the score stood 5 to 2 in Winona's favor but by steady hitting and some loose playing back of Pitcher Summy of Warsaw the Grays tied up the score in the Bth. Neither side scored in the 9th and 10th innings but in the 11th the Grays again connected with the ball and scored three times before being retired. Winona was unable to push a man around the bases and the game ended 8 to 5 m favor of the Grays.

The Grhys took the lead early in the game and were never headed by the Burgers. The game was hard fought from the beginning until the last out. The Leesburg boys are stayers and can give a, good account xis themselves with any team in the country, having lost only three games this year—two to Goshen by close scores and one to the Grays. Another game will probably be arranged between these teams to decide supremacy. The winning team in a third game can claim the championship of the county, Leesburg

having defeated Winona twice. Zimmenhan boys,Chester and Henry secured a nice two-base bit each. Batteries: Syracuse, Fancil and Kirkendorf; Leesburg, Giant and Hall. • Saturday afternoon the Grays entertained a team from Wawasee Lake composed of college and highschool players and defeated them Bto 0. The lake boys were rather chesty before the game but when the duet cleared away they were willing to admit they were up against it. They were unable to solve Edgell’s delivery successfully which accounts for the 8 to 0 score. Edgell and Hoy formed the local battery. $ ■ Sunday’s game at North Manchester proved to be the most exciting game of the three. Summy of Warsaw pitched great ball for Syraacuse and should have won his game handily. The Grays started right in on Manchester’s salaried pitcher and gathered eight drives off his delivery during the game while Summy held the opponents to three hits and only one of these was really a good clean hit. *At the beginning of the ninth the Grays led by a 3 and 2 score but in the last half Manchester scored one on a fluke hit, a pair passes and another one on an overthrow. r RHE No. Man. 1000 00 1 0 2-4-3-2 Syracuse ’lO 200 00 0 o—3-8-2 The Grays deserve much credit for the showing in the last game as they were up against a team having the advantage of a first class coach all season; practicing every day. The Grays disputed a decision of the umpire in the ninth which cost them the game and a return game may be played at Milford in the near future with identically the same line up on each team.

Wawasee Inn Which Has Just Been Sol

Important Deal Goes Through Which Means Much to Wawasee.

A deal which has been hanging for several days was closed last Friday evening. A syndicate composed of wealthy Chicago men has purchased the Wawasee Inn and the farm near the lake from James H. Johnson & Sons. The deal was effected by A. C. Waters of Chicago, a wealthy mine owner and manufacturer. Among others interested are Marquis Eaton, President of the Hamilton Club, the big political organization, L. D. Ballou, and Major Durand. It is understood from assertions of the new manager, Mr. Fletcher, that many important changes will be made in the appearance of the grounds, and with a capitalization of

BLUE«OF PURITAN OWS Restrictions Put Upon Our Forefathers in Old New England. SOMETHING T THE NAME The following were prohibited, on Sunday, in New England: Smoking tobacco. Catching eels. Kissing ore’s wife publicly. Sailing a boat. Washing clothes. % Writing business letters. Shooting fowls. Driving cows. Raking hay, Carrying grist from a mill; The blue laws of the New England Puritans prohibited the foregoing on Sunday in the early colonial days. No work, no play, no idle strolling on Sunday by the Puritans. There was little sign of human life and very little motion or activity, except l in the necessary care of dumb beasts. It was a time for the quiet and orderly going to and from church and at noon the visiting of the churchyard to stand by the graves of the dead. Capt. Kemble returned home to Boston one Sunday in 1650, after a three years’ voyage at sea. Because he kissed his wife as they met on the front doorstep be was convicted of “lewd and unseemly behavior” and sentenced to the public stocks tor two hours. Tobacco was given due attention by the Puritan restriction and it was unlawful to smoke on Sunday except under certain limitations. No smoking was permitted within a radius of two miles of a meeting house. Most of the homes were clustered around the meeting house and so this restriction was well-nigh prohibitive. A Connecticut law permitted a man to smoke once on Sunday, provided he went on a journey of not less than ten miles. The length of the one smoke, however, was not specified, and it is feared that this law was greatly abused. And silting “In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree'* was not a wise thing for sweethearts to do on Sunday during those early days. In 1670 John Lewis and Sarah Chapman were tried for “sitting together on the Lord’s day under an apple tree”—so natural and harmless a thing to do. There is no rec ord of a hue, bat the young couple bad the humiliation of a trial in court. . At Plymouth a man was whipped

175,000, it will be possible to boom Lake Wawasee as it should be. These Chicago gentlemen have come to realize the possibilities of our beautiful lake, and expect to make it the most popular summer resort of the West. Many Chicago people think because Wawasee is in Indiana, that it is hotter here than at the northwestern resorts, but the fact is we have a more delightful place than Lake

severely for ahooting a fowl on Sunday. James Watt, in 1658, was publicly reproved for writing a short business note on Sunday. Aquilla Chase and bis wife were fined in Newbury in 1646 for gathering pears in their garden on gunday. But after further investigation the fines were remitted. The recordszgive many accounts of persons being arrested and fined for unnecessary walking and traveling on Sundays. There was a spe cial restriction that no one should “ride violently to and from meeting.” Sunday visiting was a misdemeanor and was punishable by severe fines. These laws were gradually modified in the eighteenth century. But when Mrs. Trollope, the vivacious English traveler, visited Philadelphia about 1830 she found the streets closed by chains against Sunday driving. What a Public Library Does. \ 1. It keeps boys home in the evening by giving them well-written stories of adventure. 2. It gives teachers and pupils interesting books to aid their school work in history and geography, and makes better citizens of them by enlarging their knowledge of their country and its growth. 3. It provides books on the care cf children and animals, cookery and housekeeping, building and gardening, and teaches young readers how to make simple dynamos, telephones, and other machines. 4. It helps clubs that are studying history, literature, or life in other countries, and throws light upon Sunday-school lessons. 5. It furnishes books of selections fox reading aloud, suggestions for entertainments and home amusements, and hints on correct speech and good manners. 6. It teaches the names and habits of the plants, birds, and insects of :he neighborhood, and the difference in soil and rock. 7. It tells the story of the town from its settlement, and keeps a record of all important events in its history. 8. It offers pleasant and wholesome stories to readers of all ages. Caroline M. Hewins.

What Rochester, Ind, Did For One Season Only

Rochester is to have a tabernacle in the near future, the plans’ having already been completed. Work on the new buiiding, which will be 60x80 feet in dimensions, will be commenced the first week in September and will' be completed in about one week. It is to be erected on. the vacant lot in the rear of the M. E. parsonage and will be constructed one story high, with a sloping roof on both sides. The sides will be made so that they may be raised all along for ventilation. As soon as completed, the new building will be used as a place of worship in a series of union revival meetings with evangelist Honeywell, of Chicago, as the principal speaker, along with his two assistants. Evangelist Honeywell is well known throughout the country ash powerful man and was a right hand man to Rev. Billy Sunday for several years. These meetings will continue through September and include the first week in October. Another purpose of the bnilding, according to the plans of the builders will be the holding of political meetings there during October and first week of November. This will be a fine place as the building will have a seating capacity of 1500 and will be the same as being out doors with the advantage of protection from the elements. Before next winter the building will be torn down and the lumber returned to the dealer.—Rochester Sentinel. We desire to call the attention of every minister in Syracuse and all our church people to the foregoing. If the people of Kochester deem it wise and profitable to construct such a tabernacle to be used only for a few the end of which it must be wrecked, how much more profitable would it be for Syracuse to have such a building located in the town and on the bank of beautiful Wawasee Lake, not for a single short season, but for all time ? We can have it if we will. The means are at hand and need only to be assembled. But the collection of them will require considerable labor, and there must be genuine,.enthusiasm and earnest determination in the work, Is it worth while? If it is let our ministers and church, associations take the matter up and give the Journal and the Syracuse Improvement Association their earnest assistance, and by another year we can not only have such a tabernacle, but have it located in a park of such heauty and attractiveness as will draw people to it for many miles around. And the lodges of the town, every one of them, ought to feel a deep interest in the matter, for to have such a place of meeting would easily bring the district conventions here

of all of them, and other conventions and Meetings innumerable. We appeal to all our ministers to discuss the matter with their congregations, and the members of cur lodges to take it up in their meetings. if each ohuroh and lodge in town would earnestly take hold of it * the park could easily be secured. Onion Day a Success. “Onion Day” at Wolf Lake, Aug, 14, was a decided success and shows what even a small town or village can do when “pulling” together. The “Onion Day” is now an annual holiday at Wolf Lake and every person in town endeavors to do his share toward making it a success. That is the spirit which is bound to accomplish something. Pretty Beach Rechristened. Cottagers at the “Sheepwash’’ have long regretted that, as they term it, “a very pretty place is known by a very ugly name,” so a vote was taken to rechristen it and J. E. McDonald’s suggestion, “Nattiorb Beach” was accented as the most appropriate. The name being that of its owner, Nathaniel Crow, or Uncle Nattie as he is faAniliarly known, who entered the land from the government and who has been the ownj er for over sixty years, is accepted by all as a most appropriate one and does its aged owner an honor of which he is justly proud. A larger signboard bearing the new name “Nattioro Beach” is being painted by Jean Scctt and after its erection anyone saying “Sheepwash” will be fined, imprisoned or dumped in The lake. 1 LJ - ■— , . ■■ ' L i Would Honor Veterans. ■ . Col. Samuel Moody, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, says: “If I controlled a great railroad system and the interstate commerce laws did not interfere I would issue a free pass to the national encampment to every veteran of the civil war who could produce papers showing that he had been honorably discharged. More than this, if I owned a big hotel in the city where the encampment is held I would not crowd four or five men jin'to 9 room, but 1 would assign but one veteran to » room, with bath attached, and bid him welcome free of cost.”'
