The opening of the baseball season
in this city yesterday was well done
in every way. The home team won,
the home crowd was happy and the
occasion was enjoyed all around. The
attendance was big and pleased the
owners, but it was not quite as large
as in previous years. 1t was good
dav for baseball, but the early morn
ing rain made the grounds rather
heavy. Charles H. Ebbets, jr., presl-
dent of the club was a happy young
man all day, and after his Tigers had
won he was particularly so. Young
Ebbets has promised to give Newark
a good team and he has begun well.
He means TO do the right thing ana
he is open and above board in all MS
dealings. The fact that he is the son
of the famous big league owner,
Charles II. Ebbets, sr., doesn't mean
that the Newark club is to be sacri-

that has been paraded for months by
a local paper, which Is known TO be
always against the government.

Last year. when Clark defeated
Thorwald Ellegaard, great angle
came up and the Velodrome promo
tiers profited handsomely by it. Clark
beat Ellegaard easily, and, incidental
ly, Jackie became the rage. He beat
Ellegaard again, and was styled the
"Giant-killer." The fans became eX-
cited and enthusiastic and they
flocked to the Velodrome in tremen-
dous numbers. The situation today
would be even better with Rutt as an
attraction and with even Rutt as a
winner. No matter what the outcome,
just so many will say that Jackie, If
beaten, was abused, and if he wins,
just. SO many will say he won on his
merits, whether or no. SO in Clark
Messrs. Million and Uppercu have a
great attraction-in fact, they have a
sort of little L. S. a. mint. He is

The fans will go to see Jackie ride in
any event. but they will jam the place
if he happens to be winner.

Jackie Clark home a winner over
Walter Rutt in that delightful five
mile finish at the Velodrome Sun
day. Clark's contract this year calls
for $4,000. His salary next year
should be an even $4,000, considering
the attraction he is; but the sad news
is being circulated that Jackie isn't
going to race next year; that he is
going into business in Salt Lake.
Maybe, however, he may be prevailed
upon to stay around here and race
another season. 1t will be a long

budding bike champion in the person
of Al Kopf. To hear one of the boys
talk about this protege, Frank

Kopf, it seems, has been riding a bike
for some time, and he has been a
quiet starter at the Velodrome on two
occasions. He lacked experience,
though, and he complained that he
couldn't make the turns. He knows
how now, it is said, and the man who

A Decade of Prohibition.

Ten years have lapsed since
the passing of the saloon from
our midst; a decade has gone by
since there dWelt among our
business enterprises the dispep-
sary of red-eye and its bosom
friend and ally, the knight OF the
green cloth and round table.
HAPPILY do we review the change
from cur not distant yesterdays.
We have lived a Christmas Day
without the greWSOme scene OF
men webbing everywhere, on
the streets, in our homes, with a
type of blinl-staggers. No long
err do we hear the clank of the
poker chip or the rattle of antes
mingled with loud outlaws ting
ed with profanity. Dead are the
old communicating influences that
used to lure the youth astray.
The ten years past have wrought
many changes for the better,
and, indeed, it is gratifying that
1t has.
Men are becoming better by it..
A new generation of strong men
will soon be the fruit Of this
great tree of good. To those
men and women who routed the
demon from our town and parish,
the satisfaction Of seeing this
remarkable change should be
most pleasing. To our citizen
ship who have not permitted the
law to become a farce, some
hearty praise is due. At any
rate tits solace to know that times
have changed, and that they
have changed to stay.

malignant that almost every one
whom it attacked died, yet he
and a few others as faithful as
himself, went about their duties
like special ministers from God
over whom the fateful disease
had no power. And finally when
winter came with its purifying
frosts, and the fearful malady
disappeared, he returned to the
bosom of his family, carrying
that consciousness Of duty we'll
performed which justified him
with himself, While the world
about him took off it's hat to such
striking deeds of sacrifice and
heroism.

A Good Man Gone.

W. B. Grayson, whose home
was in the town of Grayson, and
from whom it takes its name,
died at the residence of his son,
E. M. Grayson, Jonesville, La,
on the eth day of December
1913, where he was visiting for
the Christmas holidays. He was
one Of the oldest men in this
parish, and in his death we suf-
fer the loss of one of our true
and noble heroes. He came here
from Kentucky many years ago,
seeking to make for himself
friends and a home among the
warm.hearted people of North
Louisiana. and during all of these
years, no rumor of dishonor, no
faint of corruption was ever
coupled with his life, nor had he
part or lot in any scheme by
which the civil. moral. religious
or political rights of his fellow
man were to be invaded. He
lived honestly, hurt no one and
rendered unto everyman his dues.
More than this, in 1856, when
an epidemic of yellow fever
spread its death-dealing wings
over the town of Columbia and
laid it's inhabitants low so rapidly
that a call for help had to be sent
to the outlying rural districts, he
heard the call, and prompted by
that high and noble sense of duty
that lives only in the hearts of
the true and the good, he babe
his wife and their first child,
then an infant in arms, goodbye,
and gave himself freely and un-
reservedly to the nursing of those
who had been stricken by the
dread disease, having no thought
of himself or any other thing ex-
cept the relief of those who were
falling about him on every side.
The type of the disease was so
