DARK TOWN BALL CAME
FEATURE ATTRACTION
LARGE NUMBER OF WHITES
AND BLACKS SEE FINE EN-
HIBITION GAME.
Some of the Players Exhibited Real
Base BAH Skili-Win Applause
By Toying With the
Hot Pegs.

Quite a large number of whites as
we'll as blacks went to Jungle park
Tuesday afternoon to witness the
ball game. The Navigators got
revenge for the defeat administered
on the Giants home ground Monday
by getting away with the big end of
and score. The exhibition rank
ed high for real bali playing, in fact
some of the players displayed mark
ed ability. Especially was this true
of the first sacker for the Waco
team. This negro could give Burns,
Merkel or Chase pointers on how to
cover the initial bag. He grabbed
balls at arm and body length from
the base, caught them back-handed
and every other way imaginable.
He attracted so much attention Man
ager Dee Poindexter of the local ball
club wanted to know if there would
be any way to yhite-wash him and
make trolley Lacquer out of him.
The third saeker for Waco was q
Waxahachie negro and he, too. IS
some bali player He was fast and
accurate. For the visitors the short
stop was a bright and shining light.
The third baseman was also clever.
IL may be said that barring the
major leaguers the negroes played as
fast a game on the infield as has
been played here in many seasons.

ing up their premises and the street

BIG MEETINGS
Largest Congregations Ever Assem-

Those who claimed the big Taber-

revival meetings would never be fill
ed. will have to guess again With
the campaign just two weeks old and
the enthusiasm just beginning to
warm up the crowd on Sunday night
filled it very comfortably full and a
few hundred more would have COM
PEELED some to stand up. When the
seating capacity Of $500 is consid-
cred there must have been at least
$500 there and it was undoubtedly
the largest meeting Of the kind ever
held in Lamar. The other meetings
are also largely attended and the
interest is constantly growing. The
big choir continues to be one Of the
leading attractions of the meetings,
and the eloquent sermons Of Rev.
Knowles are having a deep effect on
his congregations. Many are going
forward now at each meeting.

Civilized Warfare"

With Zeppelins and airships raining
