= Temple Temple, Tuesday esd evening To this
stituent lodges have been invited. Fast

Rumor in Masonic circles has it that
at the last drill of Almas Temple Pa
! troll Capt Louis c. Wilson was in close
conference with a noted base ball man
ager. They were closeted for several
- hours. most of the time comparing
!. couple of huge volumes, one of which
, closely resembled an Imperial Council
Report of the Mystic Shrine, contain
:, ing the names of all the Shriners in the
country. The other book was list of
4 the names of the players in both the
4 National and American leagues. With
the Masonic ball games between Almas
, Temple and Kallipolis Grotto, for the
, benefit of the Masonic and Eastern Star
" Home to be played in the immediate
I future. it was admitted that Capt. vii.
: son means TO sign some real base pail
stars for the Shrine team.
, The bull and bear committees report
tweiAy-nine petitions to date for the
i. big ceremonial to be held at the Ma
=, tional Theater March 20. The inten-
tons of these two committees of one
hundred each is to give Potentate Estes
more petitions for his first meeting
than any previous potentate has had
during his entire administration. This
will mean, it is explained, that at least
Q one hundred wanderers of the desert
will bow in humility before the sacred
camel which means and swings it's head
before the sacred relics of the Prophet
Asballab. to whom the temple in Wash
fngton is dedicated, because it was in
stituted on the nine hundredth ami
versary of the birth of his most beauti
full and favorite wife, Almassa. 1t is
!. from her name the temple takes its
name"
With the approach of spring base
ball rises uppermost in the minds of
- American citizens just as naturally as
> sparks fy upward Already specula-
ton is rife as to who will do the hon.
ors for this team or that. The big
leagues are about to go to their train
ing camps and tie amateur leagues are
looking over their last years uniforms
and mapping out schedules.
Not the least interesting of the games
to be played in this .:ity, however, will
be the annual Masonic game for the
Star Home. when, on some afternoon
during the approaching summer. most
likely during June or July, the mega
{ phone artist at American League Park
z makes an announcement som ething like
4, This: "Bat-ter-r-r-r-i-e-s for today's
Eame-for Almas Temple, Mobiles
B"umph and J-umph: for Kali
: polls Grotto, Prophets So and
, So" which means that these two
local organizations are going to cross
bats in a friendly contest to determine
c which can play the better-or worse
base ball.
. The game this year between the
Shrine and Grotto is expected to be
novel and the most interesting of it's
b.. KIND yet played. A large attic ndance is
|. already assured. Both organizations
u are looking over their available mate
, rial and signing them up for try
, outs AS many of the aspirants for a
. chance to don a uniform are members
, of both organizations, il will be a case
, OF who gets them first. When they
b have all been discovered" and corral
led. practice games will be played in
order to determine the fitness of those
who desire to emulate Walter John
2 son. Ty Cobb ct al. in this unique game
} OF course, the elimination or wedding
out process will cause some chagrin,
, naturally. That. however. is one of
the things to be reckoned with, and
v as they all are jolly good fellows, those
. who cannot measure up to the stand
hIu VIII ne content TO take tnelr places
as boosters" and in good spirit con-
:. sole themselves with the knowledge
that in the base ball world, though
!, many are called. but few are chosen
II is a little early to give any details
. as TO the lineup, but it is expected
that Potentate l. Whiting Estes and
Monarch George II. Emmons, jr, will
soon get together and map out a plan
of action. This much has already been
decided and meets with universal ap-
!, proval: Past Potentate Roe Fulkerson
! will do the honors for the Shrine on
!. the coaching line, while the Grotto will
be represented by Prophet William F.
Guide, who also is past potentate OF
b, Almas Temple. 1t Is said that on ac-
count of the personal popularity OF
these two coaches. both of whom are
!, ardent fans and widely known in fra
: ternal, business and social circles, their
presence on the side lines, wearing the
uniforms of these two wide-awake and
- up-to-the- minute organizations, will
:. be magnetic and amply sufficient to
tax the seating capacity of the park.
