penny. Harper and Bentley, for instance,
two most promising pitchers. never had
any professional experience before they
came into the fold, and. of course. there
was no expense attached to securing
them. Holland and "Wally'' Smith were
purchased from Atlanta: Meusel was Sc

Los Angeles club: Paul Smith did not

and after being farned out for a year

be signed to be obtained.
Ball players argue that Walter john
sons wonderful control is a detriment to
his effectiveness. They say that his con-
troll is SO good that players who nave
faced him before never have any rear
of being hit, consequently hug the plate
and take a chance on hitting the ball.

his speed is such that it would be fatal
to get in the way of any ball he pitches.
There are pitchers who have no
scruples about hitting a batsman to IN
timidate him. The Philadelphia veterans,
Plank and Bender. are accused of this
from the plate. IT has frequently been
suggested to johnson that he adopt this
system, but he has always refused, say

Though the opening of the season is
still nearly a month away, the players
are already discussing the pitchers to

They all want Walter johnson to work

the Red Sox. hence he is chosen. The

Seeks Match for Fairs.

For two years, or ever since Covey
defeated Fairs and took the world
championship title away from him, We
have tried every means We knew to get
Convey into title match. but 1t has been
without avail He has steadfastly re-
fused to play return match. Now. I
suppose it will be even harder to get
him to play, but l think that Fairs
should be allowed to meet him and then
the winner of that match play Mr..
Gould.
But I am proud of Mr.. Gould's work.
I saw him first play here a couple OF
weeks ago during q blizzard, when he
was preparing for Convey. and ex-
pressed the opinion then that he would
in all probability win. He duly deserved
the victory, as he is a master OF the
game. America is to be congratulated
upon having won another worlds cham
pionship, the second for the Racquet
Club
1t is not probable that any arrange
ments will be made for a match for
some time, as Gould will want a long
rest, and, while an ardent player, is not
keen to travel about defending titles.

Praises Racquet Club.

THE handling of this match by the
Racquet Club was indeed superb and
hope within a few years to have the
pleasure OF seeing another such match
here, but this time with my own pro-
fessional, Punch Fairs, taking part. 1
want to have Fairs play with Mr.. Gould.
If it is possible. and 1 am sure he will
give the new champion much harder
struggle than Convey did. OF course. you
must know. Convey has the first right to
challenge Mr.. Gould.
when the arrangements were made
for the match it was especially stipu-
lated that in the event of Mr.. Gould win
ming he was not to be subject to cha1-
lenge for a year from the date of the
match. and that Convey should have the
first right to challenge him. That would
mean that Mr.. Gould would not defend
his title until mex March.
my hope is that l will be able to get
Covey to consent to a match with Fairs
within the next six months, and then. if
Fairs win, as I am sure he will. then
am sure Mr.. Gould would be willing to
give Fairs g. chance at his title.

TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY.

All that Is needed for the wasing OF 4 SUD
cessful campaign against the dreaded disease
tuberculosis, Is for the people to be made ac-
quainted with the approved means Of prevents
ing It and Of handling it after it has been cong
tracted and then, after learning these thingS
to translate knowledge into deeds
To further acQuaint the people with tubercu.
losis and the methods to be followed in dealing
with it is the object Of stated days devoted
to its consideration. That the observance OF
such days are fruitful Of results has been found
by experience, and this will always be one OF
the ways of directing special and earnest atten>
ton to any great matter of public moment.
All over the country today sermons Will be
preached and addresses will be made as a part
Of the big fight against the disease. Christ
Himself devoted a large part of His ministry,
to the healing of the sick, and for ministers Of
the gospel to give the influence of their ex.
allied office to the work of diminishing the raw
ages Of tuberculosis seems thoroughly in a-
cord with the fitness Of things.
A practical turn to the observance of the day
will be given in North Carolina by stressing the
State tuberculosis Sanatorium at Montrose and
emphasizing the good that can come from the
purchase Of Red Cross seals.
The Montrose institution is proving a blessing
to the State. 1t is meeting a great need. 1t de-
serves the support Of all who want to see the
State conserve the lives, health and happiness
of it's people.
The sale of Red Cross seals is an approved
method of aiding in a practical way the war
on the white plague. No argument is needed
in behalf of it and every year should see North
Carolina buying in increased quantities the Red
Cross seals.
tuberculosis Sunday deserves to be widely
observed and it will be.

THE OTHER
Far better is a neighbour that is near
than a brother far off.

than a brother far off.
Proverbs xvii. 10.
= Men must do something worth while to
be counted at all as factors in life. And
the thing that is done must not be for self,
but it must have a range which IS as wide
as humanity. It may be something which
is done for an individual, but the motive
behind it must be a motive which reaches
out and touches life at its salient points.
The man who is consumed with self is
not the man who counts Sooner or later
the world will get behind the motive which
moves and will make it's own estimate of a
man. But let the deeds done be such as
to be of uplift, of advantage, to others,
and it is certain to be heard of as an ex-
ample in life. The trouble with us is that
too often we are a self-centered people, the
ego, the I, If you please, being the COM
polling motive.
To get away from such a condition
should be our constant aim, that is if we
desire to make our lives of service to our
fellows. 1t should be the other fellow who
appeals to us as giving the best motive in
life, for, as George Elliot has expressed it:
What makes life dreary is the want Of
motive It will be found an everlasting
truth that the best motive can be found in
this other fellow, no matter how we classify
that force outside of ourselves which moves
us to action.
The truth is that mankind, as a rule,
does not concern itself about the other fell
low as it should. "Put yourself in his
place. is an admonition which if needed
would make life the sweeter for all of US,
for by doing this there are so many things
which could be explained, SO many things
would be made better. The lesson is that
we bring humanity closer to us by caring
more for humanity, that we absorb the
great truth Of living the best life. set forth
in the words of Solomon as he declared:
Far better is a neighbour that is near
than a brother far Off"

A TUBERCULOSIS DAY PRAYER.
(By Prof Walter Rauschenbush, Department

(By Prof. Walter Rauschenbush, department

Seminary, Rochester, n. -
O God, we pray Thee for all whose vigor
Is being drained by slow and wasting illness.
Strengthen their powers as they battle for their
life, and if 1t be possible. we beseech Thee to
restore them and grant them the fullness OF
their years. If their strength is failing, give
them courage still to labor cheerfully and to
leave to those who love them dear memories
of faith and patience for the distant days.
Since we are all jointly guilty of the condi-
lions which have bred their disease, may we
stand by those VIII bear the burden Of our
common sin, and set the united will of our
community against this power that Stays the
young and strong In the bloom Of their life
May this death that creeps from man to man
be a solemn reminder that we are all one fam
lily, bound together in joy and sorrow, in life
and death, that we may cease from our selfish
Indifference and together seek Thy kingdom
and Thy righteousness which will bring us

COMMUNITY SERVICE WEEK.

For three days this week the people Of the
various sections of the State are called upon to
do community service work. The week itself
has been set aside officially by Governor Craig
as Community Service Week and special days
have been designated for special and definite
work in community betterment.
The reports from the various sections Of the
State are that there is being taken great in
terest in the preparations for the observance
of the week, and that the outlook is that it will
be more greatly observed in work for commu-
nifty progress than any other week in all our
history.
Thursday, December third, has been named
as "Public Roads, Grounds and Building Day.
Friday, December fourth, as School and Neigh.
borhood Improvement Day; and Saturday, De-
cember fifth, as County Progress Day" Under
the law Friday is also to be observed in the
public schools of the State as North Carolina
Day"
The week, and the special days should be
fully observed over all the State. The men who
have put this movement on foot deserve all
commentator for doing a thing which can be
but of great value to all North Carolina. The
sentiment which should inspire every commu.
nifty in the State is to be found in a brief edi-
torial in the Roanoke Chowan- Times. which
reads:
ut is encouraging to see the schools. towns
and communities in Northampton making great
preparations to fttingly observe Community
Service Days the first week in December in ac-
cordance with the proclamation of Governor
Craig. The way these days will be observed
will be a good index of how progressive is YOUR
town or community. Wherever there is a live
spirit OF cooperation Community Service will
receive a great boost"
And this from the Asheboro Courier is a
message which should awaken every school in
the State:
The schools Of the county are thoroughly
organizing Tor the observance Of Friday. De-.
celnper 4, as School and Neighborhood I'm.
proVement Day, which is set apart as one of the
DAYS TO be observed in Community Service
Week. The teachers have already received lit
erature for the day"

REMEMBER THE BELGIANS.

The state of affairs which exists in Belgium
is such as to appeal to the Christianity of the
world. A people in dire want for food, for
clothing, for medicine, for shelter itself, their
urgent need is a matter which must touch the
great heart of humanity.
America is doing a splendid and generous
part in sending aid to the people of that de-
wasted land. From the rich and the poor have
gone donations to those people across the water
who suffer, and America is the better for hear
ing the call for help.
This is the day when the Christian people Of
this country gather in houses of worship to
make their devotions to Almighty God. It is a
fitting time for those who have not yet helped
that today they take the opportunity to do
deeds which will truly be In His Name"
Every cent which is given by the people of this
country will help.
God has dealt literally with us as a people
and as a nation, and out Of the things over
which He has made us stewards our part is to
pass on help to those whose needs are Of the
direst kind. The Belgians call for aid. 1t
should be a call needed by all in this land who
have the slightest ability to help.
