The principal address was made by
Judge W. H. Harrison, of Oklahoma,
City, Okla. 1t was filled with en-
thusiasm, eloquence and patriotism. We
have not heard one more able to
handle his subject than Judge Harri-
SON He is a credit to the race and
any one who has not heard him has
lost a treat of their lives. 1t is esti-
mated that as many as eight thousand
persons were present and listened to
this masterful piece of oratory.
On Monday we had the very great
pleasure Of taking dinner with DR.,
r. II. Boyd and his family and with the
assistance Of her charming daughter
Mrs. Bennefeld, were equal to the &C.
casion in making it extremely pleasant
fer all present. DR.. Boyd has a very
beautiful home which is a credit not
only to himself and his family, but to
the race. 1t takes push and stick
ability to be able to do what DR.. Boyd
h done. He deserves the common
dotDn of all of the race for his splen-
did achievements.
The Sunday School Congress num-
boring over one Thousand aud ninety
delegates from all part of the United
States, very heartily and warmly en-
dorsel DR. Boyd and his Publishing
House. Kentucky had 119 delegates.
After spending some time with
friends on Tuesday in the morning, we
were taken out for an automobile
drive through the city in the hand
some car Of DR.. Stewart. His son
was at the wheel, and the party con
sisted of Mrs Stewart and daughter
Mrs. II. Noelf Miss NJ. +. Williams
and young Mr.. Stewart, with the Grand
Secretary. We had the pleasure of see
ing Roger Williams University, and
the new building selected for the Bap
fist National Theological Seminary
This is a most magnificent place foI
the school and will be just the loca
ton for such an institution
Having concluded the ride we went
to the theatre with some friends and
then found ourselves ready to take the
$40 a. m train Wednesday morning
out of Nashville for Louisville, KY
1t was a quiet an interesting trip or
our way to Louisville. We met upon
the train coach load Of men, women
and children en- route to different parts
OF the North to settle. They were OF
a good class Of people and had means
10 pay their way and to travel cOmfOr
tably. They reported that hundreds
are yet preparing to follow from Alaba
ma and Georgia.
We arrived in Louisville at a. m
and after reporting to the Y. NJ. C. A
we started out upon our visitation
among our friends. The Christian En-
deaVor Society Of the A. NJ. Il. Church
was Just assembling in the city, a.
Quinn Chapel for a general meeting
and, at night, the Grand Secretary
had the pleasure Of accompanying on,
Of Louisville's splendid young ladie,

Mississippi. Georgia, and Louisiana
with Mississippi leading, and also
from South Carolina. Mississippi is
leading because of two conditions
lynch law and peonage. In Alabama
and Virginia, so called good States,
they are not feeling the Negro MI
grafton, but in the states with lynch
law and poor schooling, they are leav-
ing in large numbers. The readjust-
ment OF the Negro population an
higher wages will help them all
around, thinks Mr.. Jackson. In the
North better wages will raise tGe
standard OF the Negroes; and in re
South, the shortage OF them will
make their labor more valuable a0c
increase their bargaining power, a..
surfing them more consideration in
those questions of law enforcement,
schools, housing and conditions OF
cleanliness.

at least four hundred more teachers

We had the pleasure of taking a meal
in the spacious DINING hall with the

lures attending this meal hour was the
religious program at the end OF the

sung and good prayer was offered
by one OF the professors. At night
the teachers were treated to moving

ORIGIN OF BASEBALL
Real Home of Our National Game
Is Hoboken, New Jersey.
knickerbockers Defeated New York
Cities In Four-Inning Contest, juno /
ii, 1946-First to Formulate
Playing Rules.

Several cities have claimed the
honor as the birthplace of baseball.
Boston says that game called New
England" was the forerunner Of the
game as it is known today. Philadel-
phia says no, "town ball" is the parent
Of baseball. The latter game, 1t Is
said, was played by an organized club,
the Olympics, as far back as 1888. The
early game of FOUNDERS" was an
earlier phase of the same game.
The real home of baseball, when all
is said and done, is-hold on minute
-Hoboken, N. J.
1t was there that, Il years ago, the
first bona fide baseball game betweep
clubs was played. The contenders
were the Knickerbockers and the New
York Cities, and the game was played
on the Elysian fields, near Jersey City.
That was on June IA, 1916. The Ely
sian fields are now the site Of Hobo
ken. The Knickerboc kers were organ
lied In New York in September, 1845.
They were the first to formulate play
ing rules.
The New Yorks organized little
later and adopted the same code. Both
of those clubs played several games
with scrub teams picked from among
the spectators before they faced each
other on that June day in 1846.
Under the rules that obtained at
that time, the first team to make q
runs was the victor. The game lasted
four innings, the Knickerbockers win
ing, but history does not record the
score of their opponents.
The Knickerbockers found theiI
first real rivals in the Gothams, organ.

fords and the Morrisania Unions, or.
ganized ina 1856. The Olympics OF
Philadelphia early adopted the New
York game, and the Athletics, Key
stones and Quaker Citys later fought
for supremacy, while in Boston the
Olympics were organized in 1854, and
little later the Elm Trees disputed
honOrs with the pioneers.
But heavens Just think Of 1t!

SEYMOUR CALLED Iron MAN"
Former New York Giant Pitcher Per-
formed Most Remarkable Pitching
Feat Back in 1895.

"They called Joe McGinnity the Iron
Man," says John j. McGraw. "Joe
was a glutton for work. But the real
iron man of them all was none other
than Cy Seymour.
Seymour, you know, used to be a
pitcher. When I first saw Cy he was
a southpaw twirler with the Giants.
was with Baltimore then. Seymour
was really a good pitcher.
"He performed the most remarkable
pitching feat I ever witnessed. 1t was
back in 1896 or 1897, when Bill Joyce
was managing the Giants. Baltimore
was playing a series at the old Polo
grounds. Seymour pitched the last
game, and it happened that beat him
with a triple to right in the last in
ming, 2 to 1.
"The next day the Giants were sched-
uled to play us double-header in Bal
timore. Much to everyone's surprise,
Seymour came out to pitch the first
game. BY q strange coincidence he
worked so well that the score was
against us 1 to / in the ninth inning.
Once more 1t fell to my lot to beat Cy
with a triple to left center.
"After the usual short intermission
we came out to play the second game
Of the double-header. The batteries
were announced, and to our astonish-
ment and that of the crowd Seymour
was again the Giant pitcher.
"This sounds unbelievable, but it is
true. Cy started his third game against
us in two days, and what is more re-
markable still, he shut us out and won
the game, 6 to 0.
"Joe McGinnity was indeed an iron
man. He was no more entitled to this
title, however, than was Cy Seymour
20 years ago. although most fans for
got that Cy ever was pitcher"

Dentistry Is Old Profession.

Among all ancient forms of torture,
dentistry perhaps holds almost first
place in antiquity. There is evidence
that even as far back as 1900 b. O.
the Egyptians and the Hindus extract
ed unsound and aching teeth by the
simple expedient Of hammering the
victims jaw with a piece of rock and
that they replaced lost teeth in crude
sort Of way by attaching substitutes Of
wood or ivory to adjacent sound teeth,
fastening the artificial and sound
teeth together with threads or wires,
their method thus differing but little
from those of the Quacks and medi-
cine men who travelled the country
fairs of England and America in the
early days of the nineteenth century.

BASEBALL DURING WAR TIME
Suggested to American People That
Game Is Likely to Be an lncon-
gruity Next Season.

For the present it may be all night
that baseball continue. At least it is
not mandatory that it cease, and that
the healthy bodies on the field and the
healthy bodies in the stands and
bleachers go about some other bust;
ness, but it may be just as well to sug-
gest to the American people that pro-
fessional baseball is likely to be an In.
congruity next year.
An American newspaper will sacri,
fee a great deal Of self-respect If II
has to print, or does print, box scores
and casualty lists in the same issue,
says Chicago Tribune.
Baseball already is getting on the
nerves of a great many people who
know that catastrophe times are ahead
or who fear that they may be ahead.
1t is fddling while Rome is burning.

the series in four games, one of them
being a tie. AS it was the series

''You captured the assembly Ruy-

The young man addressed shrugged
his shoulders lightly. There was
wearied, unsatisfied expression in his
fine face, as delicately and clearly CHS
eled as profile on clear-cut Roman
coin.

the quiet yet clear tones he always en-
ployed, II am beginning to have a sur

"SKYLINE" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps Of Oregon and
Washington "Skyline" method of log
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method of
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on ffle ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan is to
run a cable through blocks or pulNys
suspended: at a great height on giant
trees, so as to form a. sort Of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
Of ordinary trees and other obstruc-
tons to the rollway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one Of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up
it is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means Of a "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air log can, OF
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground.

The annual death rate of the human
race is 100000. That's $1,000 a
day, 3,700 every hour, 62 every min

before they are sixteen years old; one
quarter Of the human race die before
they are five years old. The average
length Of human life is thirty-three
