conqueror. When the fight got along

Johnny Mace was secured several
weeks ago. This leaves the local club
with three receivers--stewart, Mace
and Tignor-and only two of these

Ulrich was purchased from the Dur
ham club Of the North Carolina league
lust before the beginning of the 1914

games for the Tars and hit the ball at
a .a76 clip and stole seventeen bases.
His batting average was slightly bet
ter than that of General Mark
Stewart, who clouted the bali at a
.26s clip, but Ulrich was slightly off
in his throwing. He claimed the hole
back of the plate lat the local park
kept him from getting the ball off In
IA hurry. Stewart was a much better
throwing catcher and worked in lie
games and stole a total OF twenty Four

The Hartford Herald advocates a
general tiger hunt in Ohio county,
as it claims blind tigers are about to
overrun the county. The Herald
says Hartford is a "dry" town,
as is the county. but evidently there
is considerable liquor drank he e
which is procured not far away and
within the limits of the county,
There is little doubt in the minds Of
observing citizens that there are one
or more blind tigers in the coloreC
settlement of Hayti, our negro
suburb. In fact, in raid there not
long ago, liquor in quantities to i; /:
dictate sale of the stuff was found in
four differe mt places, but little came
of the case. This is not as it should
be. 1t is unlawful and defiant. Ev-
cry public official, every good citi-
zen, especially those included in
church membership, should join in
suppressing this drink evil and IL
quor.selling, which is not only NOR
ally destructive, in open defiance
of law, but is giving our town and
community a very bad name"

Why the RIues2

Everyone love- the blue sky, with
It's brightness, warmth and softness.
Hundreds have written OF il in glow
ing terms of praise, while the inarticu-
late millions have felt what they ex-
pressed. Who does not love a pair of
blue eyes? Laughing blue eyes. true
blue eyes, tender blue eyes, Irish blue
eyes. The men who follow the sea
love her every mood and hue, and yet
tbs her sparkling sapphire cloak they
would have her don on the happiest
occasions. 1T is impossible, in our
condition Of society, not to be some
times a snob," wrote Thackeray-not
to have a heart that would relish
pumping little blue blood along with
the red. But when our thoughts are
dull, depressed and drear like an un-
kind wintry sky, We are in the blues.
Why this paradoxical defamation of
the color which is associated with so
many Of the fair and pleasing things
OF life? II we must vilify a color,
there are yellow canaries and jaun-
dice; there are yellow devils and dan
ger. Why the blues?-Boston Globe.
