Mrs. Robert a. Hodge.

In the death Of our sister, Mrs. II.
y. Hodge, on August 10th, 1916, our
missionary society, Dudley Baptist
church Of IIarvin, S. c., and the com
munity in which she lived have sus-
tanned a very real loss. Her dcpar-
turc was sudden and came as a dis
tinct shock to her many friends.
Whereas it has pleased our heaven
~ Father to remove from us our be-
loved sister, Mrs. r. A. Hodge, we
the members of the missionary so
cicty of Dudley Baptist church do
hereby resolve,
First, that we murmur not at this
dispcnsation Of providence but will
trust in Gods mercy and love-
Second, that we extend our deepest
sympathy to the bcrcavcd husband
and family in the loss of their loved
one.
Third, that a copy Of these rcsolu-
tlons be sent to the family, the Bap-
tist Courier and to our county papers,
and be recorded on our minutes.
Miss Maybin Hodge,
Mrs. Dora Brogdcn.

The story that Sam Crawford may be
traded to the Nationals has been re-
vived, but there is not a chance for
Jennings, who, in speaking of Craw-
ford, said:
Griffith has nothing in the way of
players who would help us that he can
spare for Crawford, so that there is not
a chance for our opening negotiations
with him, or with any other club for
that matter. Crawford will remain
with US indefinitely, of course. We
might allow him to go to some other
club, but we want players of high
caliber for him"
Speaking of his .teams poor show
ing in the west, Jennings explained
what the trouble was thus:
witt and Bush did not get on the
bases while playing St. Louis and
Chicago. Both were in serious slump
and as a result we fell down badly in
our offensive work. Cobb, too. did not
play up to his standard, and, while our
pitching was good, we could not get
runs enough to win consistently.
But 1 believe we have begun long
winning streak now. We have played
intelligent and strong base ball of late,
ers hitting up to their standard again
| we are sure to advance in the race.
have not given up hope by any means
Any team may fall into slump, but
