ABINGDON TEAM
HERE TOMORROW
High School Basketball Squad
Has Two Hard Contests
in Sight.

The Abingdon basketball team,
which defeated the Moline high school
five before the Christmas holidays,
VIII play a game at the local high
school tomorrow night. This evening
the Moline five vii meet the Abing-
dor team in a return clash and the
LEGAL five will play at Davenport. From
the present outlook, a large number of
local basketball enthusiasts will &C
company the team across the creek.
Fol- the past seven years athletic re-
lations between the two schools have
been lacking and the resumption of
play is being hailed with JOY by both
schools. The two second teams of me
schools will play a curtain raiser for
the big game. Sixteen men will make
the trip on the local squad TomoT-
row night the second team will play
another curtain raiser for the Ablng-
dOn-Rock Island contest, their oppo-
nents being team picked from the
Modern Woodmen employees of this
city. The first contest will start at
1870. A large crowd is expected.
Another plan has been set forth
relative to the boys basketball tour
nament as five teams will be entered.
Under this plan, five days will be TAX
eli up by the contests altogether, not
four as was given out yesterday by
the manager. It will probably be play
ed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs.
day OF next week, and on Tuesday
aud Wednesday Of the following week.
The schedule has not yet been com,
p'eted for publication.

Cincinnati-Speed-rapidity both in
getting down to first and navigating
the cushions af er the arrival: agility
in pursuing the soaring fly and mixing
into the hurried infleld plays; light
aing quickness in every department of
the game-that's what Joe Tinker is
going TO try to injec into the Cincin-
natl Reds during the season Of 1913.
Joe is a victim of the speed mania.
He says It's a lot better to have a
.230 hitter who can skip nimbly
around he diamond and score 80 or
more runs in a season than 1t is to
have a ponderous hitter who can make
a record of $50 at bat and come across
with only so runs in a year. Tinker
says swatting is only a part Of the
game. It's an importan. part, Of
course, but no more so than ability to
steal bases and skip along like whirl-
wind from sack TO sack.

AT THE EMPIRE,

Emma Carus continues to feature at
the Empire in the bill of the last half
which is in many ways superior to
that of the previous three days. The
one and only Emma has been prevail
ed upon to remain in our midst over
the week, in spite of the alleged press
agent war which threatened for time
to sever diplomatic relations between
Rock Island and the Distillery city, in
a hattie for supremacy and the pos
session of Miss Carus. Miss Carus
has an entirely new repertoire of
songs. That rag Groom, "All Night
Long" met with a big ovation last
evening, as did new rag entitled "On
Picnic Day." a worthy successor to the
Circus Day" song. By special re-
quest The Rosary" was sung by Miss
Carus Her rendition was beautiful
and artistic. That's How | Need
You" has still been retained a2d
meets with as warm a reception as
vas accorded in the first three days.
The most refreshing and really enjoy
able act which has been seen on the
Empire stage this season was pre-
scented by Irwin and HerZog, who are
billed as Those Minstrel Fellows"
Both have excellent voices, good per-
sonalities and that happy faculty of
putting their stuff over. They pre-
sented a real ragtime treat which
warmed the cookies OF many a heart
which has been yearning for some real
syncopated melody usually confined to
the Chicago rialto. The writer has
never been able to eathuse a great
deal over the song, When the Md
night Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam,"
in spite of the fact that one Irvtsg Ber-
lin is the author thereof. Many ac-
tors and actresses, both alleged and
bonafide, have waded through this
melody in a fashion at previous per-
fCrmances in the tri-cities, but the song
has always seemed TO lack the
punch" Last night al previous
opinions were cancelled, obliterated
and rendered null and void. After hear
ing Irwin and Herzog sing the Aiabam
song we decided that life was still
worth the living. The way they put
i over, hurled it far out past the foot
lights and made it cling, was 4 treat
and a revelation. Last night the
audience could not get enough of
these men and there was some dissat-
isfactiOn at the extreme breVity of
their act. One of the most beautiful
features ever introduced here was the
liz ing reproduction of the world
greatest paintings by Millet's models.
The poses were excellent, the setting
Authentic and the entire effect arts
tic. Among the paintings reproduced
b. the living models were The Echo, -
Alone" and THE Angelus." The act
is excellent. Charles Bigney, the hui
man fish, eats bananas, drinks milk,
sn okes a cigar and does many other
novel stunts under some four feet OF
water. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett pre-.
scnted a playlet, The Master" Two
reels of motion pictures begin and
! conclude a performance which is q
real treat.

The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1913-06-07

Some thoughtful and consider
ate friend in Boston, Mass, is
sending us each week a marked
copy of the Christian Science
Sentinel. Whenever we can be
made to believe that we are rich
by simply thinking so, or that
we are not hungry, when in real
ity we are hungry enough to eat
the horns off a william goat, then,
and not until then, will be be
ready to join hands with our
Christian Scientist friends

Or when one can think" away
a tummy-ache instead of taking
paregoric, there'll be something

KEEP TRYING.

We are bound to get right af-
ter while. First we started with
the idea of teaching the children
the three RS; then we dug up
Latin and chemistry and finally
we were hitting the same spots
as the big University. But now
we are about to settle down to
real business by teaching the
boys and girls to put what they
learn in actual use in every day
life--vocational education. That's
the name for the new common
sense education which the old
folks have been talking about for
10, these many years.-Assump-
ton Pioneer.
And in twenty years or so,
they may cut out the four super
fiuous grades in the public school
course as a Northern Woman
Teacher has already successfully
done.

REMOVAL OF STREET sEeeARs.

A New Orleans daily reports that
Blind Tom, the street beggar so long
a familiar sight near the Jesuit's
Church in Baronne street of that city
has been sent to Arkansas at public ex.
pense, and urges that steps be taken
to remove other beggars from the city
streets.
Second the motion!" will come in
chorus from the state press, for we of
the country although we see these
manned mendicants less frequently
than city people do, and possibly for
that reason are more sensitive to their
appeal, heartily commend any humane
course that will remove them from city
streets.
There is nothing more narrowing to
persons Of sensibility than to see these
manned
crippled men, sometimes horribly mu-
tilated, on a level with passing football.

UNNECESSARY PUBLICITY.

Parish Supt. of Schools, Mr.. A. M.
Hendon, writes that The True Demo
crat is in error in stating that this is
the first year that members Of the SEN
ior class have failed, and cites in
stances of such being the case. It is
needless to say that these were un-
known to The True Democrat, as there
was no desire to institute any unfair
comparison or to do any injustice, by
inference or otherwise, to the members
OF the class of 1913 who failed to pass.
The latter have our sympathy although
we realized that the teachers were but
doing a painful duty.
The fact that The True Democrat
did not know of former failures to pass,
but proves the point-the only point
aimed at, and that was the avoidance
Of publicity. This year the invitations
were printed before examinations,
hence embarrassment caused which
could easily have been avoided.
Supt. Hendon says further:
Since the high school course of
study has been arranged by the State
Department in unit values and a stu
dent is entitled to credit for certain
number Of units for each branch of
study completed, l have secured GER
tificates to be given to the members of
the graduating class who fail to earn
diplomas showing the number of high
school units the holders have been
credited with and designating the con-
ditions under which they may be ex-
changed for diplomas. These may be
given just as the diplomas are and
there need be no distinction made pub
licly between the certificates and the
diplomas. This would mitigate the hu.
initiation necessarily felt by any stu
dent that fails to receive full diplo-
ma"
