HISTORY OF SYRACUSE SETTLED IN lUS The following to taken from the history of Syracuse and Lake Wawaaae, compiled by George W. Miles, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weekly, in 1910: Some Memorable Sporting Events— Recollection of a Famous Bal] Team. It was sixteen years ago, or nearly that. It will be hard for you to make yourself believe so many years have paused since, so rapidly have they flown; but here is the local ’ newspaper of the time, with its telltale date. Nappanee also had a famous ball team that had cleaned up about every club in this part of the state except our own. And ours had likewise to its credit similar victoriee, but had not yet met that of Nappanee. And each feared to meet the other on its own ground. Taking advantage of which latter, the people of Milford secured the game, when it Anally was rrranged, for their town. And there was an immense crowd present to witness it, for the fame of the two clubs extended far. Frank Brown, of Nappanee, was made umprie, and he promptly started in to steal the game for his team. Two or three innings were played and many ineffec ual protests against his decisions were recorded, and then, when Capt. Mart Landis w. s in a Lraxenly fraudulent manner criled out at second base, he called to his meh to gather up their belongings, and they left the field. You may imagine the tension of the fans of towns after that And when the two clubs again f ced .each other on the Mi.fcrd ground* two weeks liter it was with a Mr. Neff, of Leesburg, who had been • agreed upon, at umpire, aid undet a binding agreement to ab de by h s dec;s,uns. And about ali of? Syracuse a..d Nappanee, and many people of the cities, towns, \i lages and - country round about, were present at the game. A I here is the report of it the. appa.vd in the fol.owing number ot the Syracuse itsued on the 13th day of September, 1894: "We Have Met the Enemy and They , Are Ours." “The much advertised game between the Syracuse and Nappanee ball clubs at Millord w s played to a finuh tat Friday and was won by. Syiacuse in the presence of not less than people. The feature* of the game were the good batting of the Nappaneee, Syrtcuse’s splendid fielding, the tine work of both batteries, an extraordinary running each by Joe Miler in left field, another by Jacobs, the catcher for the Naps, and a nice double " play by Kehr, Kindig and Landis that shut out the Neps in the sixth. Nine men were caught out by Miller and Erwin for Syracuse, while the work of the intie.d w.a sh.rp, and was mar- ’ red by few errors. Rosebrough pitched a fine game for the Naps, but was insufficiently supported. -The game throughout was the finest and most exciting one played anywhere in thia part of the stale this year. Every man in each team went into it fully determined to win. Syracuse tallied a score in the first inning on hits by Kehr and Landis, and took the lead in the second, Holloway getting a base on balls, and Brady and Colwell each hitting safe, scoring Holloway and getting around themselves through Nappanee's errors. They were unable to scors again until the eighth, when, with two men oat and two strikes charged against Holloway, at the bat, a wild throw to third by Jacoba let Landis home and scored the winning run. Nappanee tallied one in each the second, third, fourth end fifth innings, after which not one of them was able to cross the plate. “Mr. Neff of Bremen umpired the game to the entire satisfaction of all concerned, we believe. His decisions were prompt and always impartial. Milford treated her guests nicely, and seemed much pleased at the splendid game that was put up for her. In fact, the occasion was most enjoyable and ended in such manner as should strengthen friendships between the people of the three towns, which is what Syracuse has all along desired. ‘The Milford Band discoursed splendid music for the occasion, as they always do. “The score by innings 123456789 Syracuse 13000001 *—6 Nappanee 01111000 6—4 Syracuse did not bat in the ninth.

There was another sporting event during the following summer that created an excitement only exceeded in the history of the town by that of the great ball game aforesaid.

I copy ag in from the Sjracuse Register, this time of date July 18, 1815. "This wu. a big day .for Syracuse. The Bi emen club came in at 10:45 and game was called at 2 p. m. wi h Bremen at bat. They took the lead in tie first inning at d altlouf.h the h me nine played good steady ball they could not get hits when most needed.

B tier of Benton did not run. The four r ders got a good start with Glick as pacemaker, but at the end of the first mile Kleder was leading, wi h Russell seio; d r nd Hu' ert th rd; a tl recminute gait was kept up for the next two miles, when Russell took the lead but was passed by Kleder who held it unt 1 passed by Rus ell in the 1 st half-mile; then w th a splendid burst of spred he spurted ahead, and soon won the race, Kleder coming second and Hubert third. Glick h-d the nrsfortune to break his wheel In the first mile and w s left far behind. He, however, rode a plucky race. T ; me 35 minutes, which is fast considering the track. Russell won the race on an "Ariel,” the celebrated Goshen, wheel, and we here take ccc sion to remark that this wheel is fast becoming the favorite among bicycle riders. The 125-yard dash, five entres, was won by John Dunniman of Goshen, time 9 seconds. Russell was one cf the contestants in the dash race, but here his good deserted him and his wheel brofrtTby colliding with Glick's in the)start. Thus ended the day’s sporkAnd the crowd departed well pleased.” FACTS TELL THE .TRUE STORY In the welter of talk and argument blast and counterblast, concerning the vague “utility problem” there is danger that the verbally-de-luged citizen will lose sight of the power industry's achievement—an achievement that is proven by cold figures. Here are facta: In the 22 years between 1913 and 1935, the cost of living, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, rose 40 per cent. The cost of doing business, while exact statistics are not obtainable, obviously increased as much or more. Wages, materials, supplies, taxes, everything that goes into > an industry’s operating expense account—rose in price, and in some cases, notably taxes, skyrocketed, j ! In spite of that, the average cost of domestic electric power in July, J , 1935, waa 5.6 cents per kilowatt-i hour—as compared wi<h 8.1 cents Jp 1913. In other words, while coets tn general rose about 40 per cent, the cost of electricity dropped 31 per cent. The American people receive the best power service in the world. In no other country does the average home use ao much current. In noi other country to the average home so well supplied with electric laborsaving devices. These devices now in use in America number 100,000,•> 000—including such “luxuries” aa 6,000,000 electric refrigerators, 1,225,000 electric ranges and 3,250,-1 000 electric sewing machines, which are almost unknown save to the wealthy abroad— and the total is > * Keep these facts in mind when you read • blast at the mythical “power trust.” s .

GOVERNMENT FINANCING With the government debt in the United States over the thirty-billion mark and rapidly mounting, and with Uncle Sam spending a dollar for every 49 cents of income, a great many people are naturally beginning to wonder just what the end of all this is going to be. Certainly it is true that with the government raising money by the billion it is somej what difficulty for private industry to finance itself. For if the government employs the private capital of the country, where is business to get the funds that it needs to expand and to do its share toward restoring normalcy in America? If all the loose funds in the country are to be invested in the government and the government is to increase its activities, it becomes apparent that sooner or later privr te business is going to wither and the government will have to go further and further into the field of individual enterprise. It will be difficult for any organization outside the government itself to carry on, if the federal system is absorbing the money. i = dneolußq JasoalLu h&ndlsct bq, < GREAT HEART COAL 4UallU.
