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

garments they Could find. lhey

of the barber, and when they

pitcher was the prettiest little
fellow you ever saw, and our
rude batsmen swatted his deliv
ery most unmercifully. He tried
to hold a hot liner from Ld. Kra

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

and tried it again, but were
swept off their feet in a decisive
battle battle that left Monmouth
