California, June 8, 1909. -Editor the Herald, Dear air: Your courtesy in sending me a recent issue of your inter esting naoer which contained mention of many of the old-time bovs of Monmouth, including my aolf AaaorvPS. a 8tV2C:al note Of thanks. The article calls up plea sant memories of the long ago, when the fame of Monmouth de- oended not only on good scholar ship, but also on the prowess of the athletes connected with Chris tian College. It will be remem bered by the former students that our baseball team was particular ly puissant. A series of games with Salem added glory to Mon mouth's ball tossers. When the Salem lads arrived in a sort of tally-ho, drawn by four horses, all dressed up in smart uniforms, the Monmouth contingent disap- Deared for a time and finally em erged attired in the slouchiest garments they Could find. lhey all aooeared to need the service of the barber, and when they anueared on the ball field, (the plaza oposite the postofhee, ) the If you have any land for sale list it with us.

He tried to hold a hot liner from Ld. Kra mer's bat and that put him out of the game. They tried to break it up in a row, and changed the ball three times but our captain politely granted every demand as soon as it was made, and kept on piling up the runs until the end of the ninth inning, when the Senators, as they were called, because they hailed from the Siate Capital, jumped into their four-in-hand rig and drove away, the maddest and most chagrined lot of ball players one would see in a day's journey. I he baienn men strengthened their ranks and tried it again, but were swept off their feet in a decisive battle battle that left Monmouth the undisDuted champion of i'oik and Marion counties.
