OF drafting baseball players for class

declares that the present grab bag

players. who fail to graduate into fast
company. Ebbett's plan is as follows:
Let the American league for in
stance. take the odd numbers, 1, 3, 5,
ETC.. for each club, while the National
league clubs are numbered, 2, 4, 6,
etc. Assign three numbers according
to the order in which the teams fin

ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIF-
T WERE PRESENT LAST
NIGHT AND HAD A FINE TIME.

The opening rally Of the boys de-
was a great success. Almost one hun
dred and fifty boys swarmed into the
building. making 1t look like a VERT
able college. They f1ocked into the
reading room, the boys room, the lob
by and their happy faces made all
who might otherwise have been men,
feel young again.
At 1880 the boys secretary called
them for games in the gymnasium and
very pleasant three quarters Of an
hour was spent in that sport, under
the direction of Mr.. Hopper, physical
director.
After the call to order, Mr.. Hopper
proved his exceptional mind read
ing qualifications by reading questions
which were written by the boys and
which he could not see. He also show
ed rare powers in his ready answers.
Messrs. Sheriff.. Moyle, MacDoweu,
Cunningham and Hopper also pre-
sented different phases Of the associa-
ton work, in which the boys could
readily see the bigness of the insti-
tuition which belonged to them as
members and which some of them
were invited to join.
After a refreshing ice cream cone

groups, some singing. some playing
games but all loath to go.

GRAND RIDGE GLEE
CLUB ENTERTAINS

Grand Ridge, Fla, Sept. 27.-The
biggest program rendered by the
Grand Ridge Glee Club of the season
was given tonight at the new school
auditorium, and was attended by
nearly everybody in town.
The entertainment was snappy, and
full of the real vim that goes to make
up a good program. Miss Bevis sang
in her usual sweet tone. and has a
rich voice that was certainly the fea-
ture of the evening. She sang a
number of solos, and was equally as
good in the mixed quartet and
choruses.
Miss Myrtle Moore is also a good
scloist, and her expression Is per-
ticularly good. She is quite a favor
lite with the people here, and her ac-
compartments were also very clever.
The male quartet made their usual
big showing. and were encored many
times. This alone was we'll worth
going to see, and are good singers.
This quartet is composed OF Messrs.
f. A. and G. W. Hare. Upton and
Singletary.
The minstrel must not be forgot
ten. This always gets a big percent
age of praise, and as black face art
lists. this bunch has it on many of the
travelling companies. The coon songs
were of the classy kind. with that
ring of mellowness, and the ones you
are bound to hum to yourself after
you hear them. The clog dancing by
Mr.. Jumbo, was indeed a treat, and
the fill ms were well rendered.
The performance closed by q real
negro sermon by the Rev. Francis
Muldoon Washing Upton. from Geor-
gia. He dwelt on a good theme, DE
Debbil Wild De Forked Tail--Ah," and
he brought down the house He
preached a forceful sermon. as the
brethren and sisters were very much
touched. judging from the shouting
which reached a climax and closed
the performance.
Although this is a local theatrical
venture, yet there Is plenty OF good
talent. and every one present left
feeling that they had spent an even
ing of genuine pleasure.
The Glee Club has been giving a
number Of performances away from
home. and have had some very nice
compliments, and good houses to play
to everywhere they have gone, and
always leaving good impression on
their audiences.
Next Friday night, October 4th.
they will give an entertainment at
Malone at their new school, and IL
the people OF that place want to see
a good. clean performance, they will
do well to go out and see this club.
A percentage viii be given the Malone
school.
