On last Wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock Mr.. William Lewis, of Gar
den Grove, and Miss Ruth Hughes,
of Weldon, were united in marriage
by Elder j. S. Coffin, pastor of the
Christian church, at the pastors
study at the second house west of
the M. E. church. The contracting
parties were accompanied by the
brides sister, Mrs. l.. D. Merrill, and
her husband, and also by her brother
Albert Hughes. We are not much
acquainted with the groom, but he
presents the appearance of an up
right, honorable and energetic young
man. We have known the bride for
several years. She is one of the
many noble young ladies of Decatur
county, and comes from highly re-
spected family who are numbered
among the best citizens of the COM
munity where they live. The writer
has stopped number of times at
Mr.. T. T. Hughes, the brides father,
and stayed over night, and he has
never been accorded better treatment
anywhere. The happy young couple
will 20 to housekeeping on farm
near Garden Grove, where they will
soon be at home to their friends. A
large circle Of friends join in wishing
them every pleasure possible during
their journey down life's stream to-
gether. J. S. Coffin.

SUMMER BASEBALL

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.--Baseban u
a major topic OF discussion among
the advance guard OF the delegates to
the meeting OF the National 1ntercol-
iegiate Athletic Association, many OF
whom arrived in town today. From

concern.
one of the main problems 10 be
considered will be that of summer
baseball. There are ali shades and
classes of amateurs playing on col
leKe diamonds and even the most en-
thusiastic supporter of academic ath-
letics will have to admit that some of
the performers are pretty SHADY
when II comes TO genuine amateur
status. At the present time con-
siderable number of colleges frankly
admit that they allow their students
to play for money during the summer
months and that they do not con-
slider this bar TO their ELIGIBILITY on
the baseball teams of their alma mater.
There are two sides to the summer
baseball proposition and Ii Is an ex-
ccedingly big problem for the ath-
letic heads of the colleges today. There
are many men taking college courses
who are not overbu-dened with this
worlds goods. To them the cnsnce
to save three or four hundred dollars
during the summer means the ability
to get through their academic courses
comfortably and 1t does seem rather
hard to make fellows who can play
baseball go out and sell books. or do
the other things, which the average
college student OF small means has to
resort to in vacation time.
On the other hand. 1t does not seem
fair to make the man who does not
play hall regularly during tho summer
compete for his position against q
man who has had the advantage OF
this professional or semi professional
training. The college baseball season
il short. Ii ends before the big
leagues have become warmed up to

leaves his practice to the stray catches

| this reason many men who DON'T ac-

| and October. The practice has been
| so widespread that no one college haa
been able to protest against another

CARLISLE, PA, Dec. 27.-Coach
Glenn Warner. OF the Carltale Indian
School. has returned from an extend
ed hunting trip In the South, and
when shown clippings regarding Har-
wards reported attitude toward fu-
ture football games with the In
dams, he said that he had received
no inttmation from the football au-
thorities at Harvard that Carlisle
would not be given date next fall.
He said that II Harvard decided not
to include the Indians in their foot
ball schedule the real reason for such
a move would probably be Harvard's
desire to tighten her schedule. and
Vanderbilt and Carlisle. to which
Harvard was not party. He further
said that the facts In Carlisle's re-
grettable mix-up over a date with
Vanderbilt last fall were such az
would convince the public that Car
liste's treatment Of Vanderbilt had
been fair and above criticism.
Briefly the facts were that Coach
Warner had made a tentative ar
rangemere with Coach Mc0ugtn to
play Vanderbilt on November IL. That
such arrangement was considered a
tentative one by Vanderbilt was
proven by Vanderbilta request that
formal contracts be submitted. Be
fore any formal contract was entered
into the opportunity to play Har.
yard arose and Carlisle accepted It.
not knowing that Vanderbilt had
previously been offered the date by
Harvard. Vanderbilt was immcdi-
ately notified that the informal ar
rAngemcnt between Coaches Mc0ugin
and Warner for . game on Novem-
Der IL could not be completed. and
at the same time Carlials offered
other dates to the Southern cham
