will be the order of umpires around
the circuit Thursday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, and the 1918 season in the
Cotton States League will be formally
opened.
Jackson starts the season at Clarks-
dale, Meridian at Columbus, and Selma
at Pensacola. Each team is fully in
readiness for the start, the class of
players signed is fully up to the stand
ard of former years, and, despite the
large amount of trouble encountered
in organizing a circuit, it is believed
that the league as now formed will
be able to go through the season. Els
pecially is this true since the final

one four-game series to be played by
teams ON trips away from home, thus

Controversy Pending.
An interesting controversy is pend
ing for settlement and the issue will
be squarely brought out when Manager
Carlos Smith, of the Meridian team,
reaches Columbus Thursday morning
Smith managed the Columbus team
/ last year, after the transfer of the Hat
tiesburg franchise to that city, and the
Columbus association claims that title

| tion has been notified that $3.50 must
be paid for Smith before he is allow
ed to play, and the opening game will
doubtless be played under protest,
since the case has been appealed to
Secretary Farrell, and no decision has
yet been rendered by that official
President Flynn insists that he is 60

Owing to the fact that both managers
have kept rather quiet about their

tions are under veteran managers, and
it is known that they have picked up

Heavy Mileage.
A striking illustration of the fact that
professional baseball is an expensive
luxury in this section is shown by the
| financial status of the Jackson asso-
citation, which starts off the season
about $1,000 in debt However, the
board of directors is a game bunch,
and declare their intention to stick
to the league just as long as other
towns are willing to hold franchises.
| The seasons schedule shows a total
mileage of 27,979 miles, the heaviest
in the history of the league, and nearly
thirty-five per cent. higher than that

ChancelIor's Address.
Chancellor Shepard's address as read
by Mr.. Pepper said that the story of
the visit of Nichodemus to Jesus by
night is most appropriate subject for
a "Cahncellor's Window" because it is
of peculiar interest to lawyers.
Nichodemus was lawyer and po-
litician. He ha dheard of the teach
ing of Christ and his instinct for steer
ing a safe course led him to seek Jesus
under the cloak of secrecy. With that
divine immediacy of visions, Jesus
knew what the man wanted and told
him the parable of the new birth"

iety for the Propagation of the Gospel;
Bishop P. M. Rhinelander, Bishop of
Pennsylvania; Bishop Danl S. Tuttle
of Missouri Bishop Geo. w. Peterkin,
of West Virginia; the Bishop of New
York; and Bishop w. A. Leonard of
Ohio. Each letter breathed a spirit
of gladness that a memorial window
in honor of the venerable society that
fostered the establishment of the Epis-
copal church in this country should
be at last unveiled.
Following the presentation sermon
and address both windows were ac-
cepted on behalf of the parish by the
Rector and on behalf of the diocese by
the Bishop.
DR.. Simpson-Atmore was visibly eff
fected when he stated in accepting the
rs. P. G." window that it was the hap
Ply moment of his life. He stated that
he was at one time a secretary of the
oObICby anu that u6 WAS VI
dained by Bishop Weed. He said that
too much honor could not be shown
the society, but that he could not ex-
press in words his qualification in
having the memorial window in the
church of which he is rector.
The text of Bishop Weeds sermon
was, "My House Shall Be Called a
House of Prayer"
The Bishop stated that it is a simple
truth that after God created beings He
adjusted Himself to deal with them.
Before the, coming of Christ it was
through the Angel Jehovah that God
appeared to his chosen people. After
God the Son became man he could no
longer appear as the Angel Jehovah,
but the sacrament of the Holy Supper
was left as a manifestation of Gods
presence to His children. 1t is in the
House of God at His alter that God
makes Himself known when two or
three are gathered together in His
name.
Christ's protection of Solomon's
Temple from PROCLAMATION was given as
proof that God approves IF the con
struction of costly houses of worship
and the gift of valuable ornaments to
His house.
Nothing could have been more appro
pirate than a stained glass window to
commemorate the services of the So
ciety for the Propagation of the Gospe
in America.
The Bishop then told of the noble
work of Commissary Gray who came
to America for the purpose of learning
the conditions of the Church of Eng
land in the New World.

get through the schedule, and in CON
sequence nearly all have cut down to
the player limit of thirteen men with
out waiting for the expiration of the
time limit, April %.
The Jackson team now contains only
thirteen men, including the manager,
while Meridian is down to fifteen play
ers. Fortunately, each team in the
league has a player-manager.
The first trip around the circuit will
be for three games only Under the
revision of the schedule the season
will consist of 1913 games, instead of
40 as formerly.
Delayed BY Floods
Kuhn, first-baseman of the Columbus
team, is supposed to be coming south
ward with the crest of the flood, and is
therefore not likely to report for sew
eral days. At least, when last heard
from, Kuhn was tied up by the flood
waters in Ohio and wired to Manager
Kennedy that he would start for Co
lumbus as soon as he could get out
of the Buckeye state.
This elongated Businessman was re-
garded as one of the star infielders of
the league last season, forming a part
of the formidable infield of the Hill
Billies consisting of Brewster, Vann
Galloway and Kuhn. Brewster and
Kuhn are the only infelders of the
Vicksburg team who have returned to
the circuit this season.
