were daredevils; neither knew what fear
was. They got onto the fact that by
starting to slide when about eight feet
from the base they would sail into 1t full
speed, and that nine times out Of ten
the baseman was afraid to touch them
even if he had the ball. So Ty and HO-
nus were detailed to teach the others
how to slide. and every one was work
ing hard to perfect the team work.
At the end of the week the team took
its first trip out Of town, when 1t went
to Hudson City for the annual game
with Armour, which always had one Of
the best teams in the east. The boys
arrived after an all-night ride in the
over and they reached the ground for
a little warming-up practice every one
was feeling fine with the exception Of
Huyler, the substitute infielder. who
sprained his ankle and had been sent
to a hospital to have it attended to, and
who saw no chance whatever to get
into the game, since Miner was in fine
form and Babe had developed into a
pretty steady winner. Nothing but an
homers would give him chance that
day.
1t looked like rain almost up until the
game had been called.
Hudson City was one Of the largest

thousand others stood or sat on the

two thousand Lowell graduates were

also located.
Down in the field in front OF the sec

four Lowell boys with megaphones and
without coats or hats, who led the yell

he said: I'D just like to have been

kind of base ball.
Well said Hal, Il suppose, after this.

and they all knew about HaIs perform

team in general, but for the moment at
least Hal was the only great one and he
took his honors as modestly as he could.
One fellow alone felt pang of jealousy
unhindered. and that was Ross. He had
lost his chance for the varsity at the
same time that Hal had found his, but
even Ross soon saw that Halls natural
ability as an infielder entitled him to the
position, and he remained his good friend,

POLITICALLY, WHERE is
THE NEGRO AT?

We have been watching the
Press throughout the country for
some days to see (l) if Senator
Cullum, O Illinois, would himself
rise and refute the charges that
he has gone on record as favor
ing the wholesale disfanchise-
ment of the Negro citizens in the
South. (2) AS to whether Presi-
dent Taft would deny that he is
wrongly quoted as concurring
with the Senator's views, but the
Associated Press has afforded us
no relief. We have waited in
vain for refutation from either
of the distinguished representa-
tives of the G. O. P. and take for
granted that they must be accur-
ately quoted. That being the case
all we have to say is, words are
inadequate to express our sur
prise and disappointment, es-
ecially when viewed in the light
of what the Negro has suffered
for those very men and the party
since the day Of emancipation.
When we think of the oceans OF

Mr.. Vernon was born in Leban-

their children an education, and
he, with younger members of the
family, entered the public school
in his native town, and remained
there until fifteen years of age,
when he entered Lincoln Univer-

Itherefrom in 1890 as yaledictorian
