Baseball dope for the season is
about u thing of the past. but one OF
the ardent fans who has not yet re.
covered from his disappointment over
the fact that the Memphis SoL'h -rn
league team failed 10 max dates in
Pine Bluff has figured ont the reason.
He thinks Memphis was really afraid

be interesting:

From his it will be clearly seen
that the records of the two teams
are nearly equal aud that Pine Bluff
would stand just about as g'%d a
chance to beat Memphis as Memphis
would 10 beat Pine Bluff. The greatest
difference is in the times at bat, Pine
Bluff having had to take fiftee1 more
time having made three moe TITS.
The runs scored are exactly ,ae same
for the two teams Memphis mas a
trifle the best of the fielding average,
having A record of 941 to Pine Bluff :;

Murphy by the Memphis club, out this
was not discussed Howard Murphy

and if he is drafted by the Memphis
club. the money will have to be forth

Perhaps one of the strongest forms

argued, and perhaps rightly, that the
world would readily accept it on these
terms, for that is what the world is
demanding. 1t is the short cut which
is the easy path. 1t leaves out the
power of the Cross. Ia days of old
they stood before suffering Christ
