Christian Church Rally.

A glorious service was enjoyed by
the members of the Christian church
at their midsummer rally Sunday
morning. The prime object of the
meeting was the clearing away of a
leficit in the current expenses Of the

for some time and the result of the
effort was encouraging. 1t was an
bounced that $500 would be required
to accomplish the desired end, and
when the pledges were finally counted
they amoTlted to $642.21, leaving a
wide margin which will go into the
general treasury for current expenses.

Jag and a short program was given
with music by the choir and readings
by Prof. Dennis of C. II. u, and Miss
Margie Augustine. DR.. Flee1er gave

New York, March 9.-Contestants
IN the national amateur billiard cham
pionship tournament twice broke the
the average record at 14.2 balk line

than maintained the reputation which
had preceded him from Chicago

ponent, DIR. L. L. Mail, one of New
York's best amateur players. but es-
fablished a new mark both in speed
and execution.
In the afternoon game ]. Ferdinand
Poggenburg of the Liederkranz club
broke Wilson P. Foss' record for aver
age by scoring 500 in fourteen innings.
But in the evening game Demarest
outclassed this mark by running out

The performance called forth great
applause. This afternoon Mial will

Gotham's American League Ball Play
ers Practice Game of Boyhood.

Atlanta, Ga. March 9.-As novelty
to begin spring training, Manager
Griffith of the Highlanders introduced
the old boyhood game of scrub" or
three and the players had
great entertainment in getting a first
crack at the ball.
In this game there are three batters
and when one is put out the others
change positions until they gradually
work their way to the bat. Contrary
to his usual methods, Griffith has kept
his pitchers from working out their
arms at all until they have had few
days work in the various positions
which are possible in the game of
Scrub So far not one of the pitch
ers has warmed up with { regular
catcher.
Moriarity proved to be the champion
hitter at scrub" and it took them
more than half an hour to get him
out. He made seven successive hits
and Griffith, who was playing left
field, had to yell for mercy. His tongue
was hanging out after running down
four long drives from Moriarity's bat.
The Highlanders are great favorites
here. Two hundred people were out
to see them practice yesterday.

LOCAL BASEBALL NOTES.

Yesterday afternoon all the players
of the White Sox who are in town
went out to Association park for their
first real workout of the season. In
the bunch were to be found Abbott,
Boles, Cole, Henry and McInnis. About
two hours were spent in batting and
catching flies. Some of the players
wore their uniforms while others were
CARRIED in citizens clothing.
This was the first real baseball prac-
tice the team has had although they
have gone through many training
stunts. Monday they walked out to
Vinewood park and they have spent
several days since in running around
the track at the fair grounds.
The local practice season will be
much shorter than was at first ex-
pected.

Real Moroccana.

Moor and Morocco are words I'M
known to the people of that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants Of those
valiant upholderst Of the prophets
green standard who swept like flood
across North Africa at the time OF
the hegira. The Morocco of the pres
ent day they found possessed BY a
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out Of Ca
naaan by Joshua. the son OF Nun.
Their country, SO far as it's plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest Of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language, maintaining
their own custoras and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the
plains. These people are the Berbers;
their tongue is called Shilhah. Liter
ature they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word But they have a
rich store of oral tradition, myth, le
gend and folklore.

Meanwhile prepare a quarter of a

two tanks. The kind in the first tank
requires but little air; the kind in
the second tank do better work when

These bacteria destroy the solids in
