the committees. and the meeting ad-
journed.
The Lone Tree Sunday school had a
Christmas tree every Christmas, and
every Christmas Brother Wallis was
named as the one member Of the COM
mittee on the tree and Mike O'Leary
as the other, Brother Wallis to order
the tree and Mike O'Leary to do all
the work Of setting it up In the Sum-
day school.
Around the town Of Lone Tree the
great prairie stretched out for mile aft.
re mile with no tree or 1t. and even
the tree that had given the town its
name was gone. Getting a tree was
nevertheless an easy matter. All that
was necessary was to order it of Tous'
ley, and in due time 1t was sent out
from Chicago by a commission firm
that Tousley dealt with.
Tousley was the grocer. lie was a
middle sized man with a severe cast
Of countenance and a greasy looking
years.
Brother Wallis ordered the tree from
Brother Tousley. He ordered it in
good time to give the grocer time to
write to Chicago and for the tree to
come. With it the grocer ordered the
other trees, smaller ones. that were to
be used in the private homes of Lone
Tree.
A couple Of days before Christmas
Mike O'Leary took his team and went
to Tousley's to get the tree. Brother
Tousley had taken it into the store.

They walked over to Mr.. Tous1ey's
and found him still reading his book.
He nodded to them when they entered,
but that was all. In vain they ar
gued. Mr.. Tousley had merely gone
back to the ideas Of his Puritan an
cestors. They had not believed that
Christmas was a proper festival for
good people to celebrate and would
have none Of 1t. and Mr.. Tousley had

for opposition. Once. his decision was
made no consideration could urn him
from following his conscience.
1t was too late to gel any more trees

and Mr.. Wallis retired to the shoe shop
to consider the matter.

 be given chance to show what they can do.
 Scarce probably will be used behind the plate in order to brace up the hit ting end of the lineup. This will enable Noojin to switch Styles to outfeld, where there is ample room for all available material. Wilson at shortstop is woe fully green, but shows promise and with a years training, should make an aver age good man. Tompkins is an unques- tionable star. and while Boone's ability is on the order of Wilson s. he also is a youth of promise and ambition.
 The only notable change wrought by Noojin during the past week was the switching of Captain Carlyle to the out field again. Chichester has been moved to third temporarily, and may win a berth at tha tposition. Out field is Carlyle's regular place of activity, and he will stay there if the proper can be found.

AUBURN'S HOPESFOR WINNER RECEIVE A SERIOUS SETBACK
Hairston, Peer of College Catchers, Injures His Leg. DuCote to Receive Try

Auburn, March 6.-(Special )--When Lucy" Hairston, acknowledged peer of backstops in southern college cir cles, injured himself in sliding to sec ond last Wednesday afternoon, Au- burns hopes for turning out cham pionship baseball team received a se- rious setback. Hairston, in making a slide, rehurt an old injury and while it was thought then that he would be able to come out for practice again in a few days, the injury is not healing as rapidly as was expected and it is feared that the popular athlete may be incapacitated for all season.
 Coach Donahue at once began cast ing about for another receiver and be brought Duke" DuCote from the out field and placed the heavy athlete in the catcher's box. And Duke" appears to be great find. Possessed of a wonderful wing, he is mastering the short throws to infield positions and in handling fouls he is already fit. With more experience he should be- come a great college receiver, as his build, temperament and spirit are in his favor in mastering the backstop- ing art.
 The infield personnel just now in cludes Ivy Griffin at first, Bully Col lins at second, Jellins at short and Tanner at third. Jenkins has been un- able to report for practice for the past several days and Jack Wynne has been brought in from the outfield and is covering second as of yore and Griffin is find at first, while Tanner is play ing an improved third sack position.
 This lineup is receiving strong op position from the "scrubs" who, with Yarbrough at first, Leslie at second, Ellis at short and Manning at third. present strong infileld.
 There are a number of outfield can didates with Wynne, Steed, Bonner and Harris leading the lot. The twirlers are rounding to form with Price, Mill ligan and Suggs looked to to bear the brunt of the hurling. The team looks to be one of the best balanced that has represented Auburn in some time and though the loss of Hairston will be a severe blow, still the team should be able to give a good account of it. self.
