The need is still strong upon US to-

ONLY CONTEST HERE TONIGHT
Brookland Basketers Meet Randolph-Macon
Five at Carroll 1nstitute-Tech Team
Victor Over Central.

Trainers won through their superiority
In throwing goals from the foul line,
Tabb proving much more capable in
this department Of play than the Cen
trail men, who shot goals from the free
mark. CentraPs floor game was every
bit as good as that Of Tech, showing to
particular advantage in the opening
half. Both teams registered seven goals
from the floor. Tabb of Tech threw nine
goals from the foul line out of sixteen
attempts. while Central obtained but
three points out of a total of thirteen
chances. 1t was this failure on the part
of the Blue and White. which gave
Tech the game.
Technical now has won five games and
lost one, while Central and Business are
tied for second place with three vic
tories each and the same number of de-
feats. If Tech continues to play as well
have little trouble winning the cham
pionship. 1t is better than the other
three quints and by defeating them
can afford to lose to Central and still
get the title.
Western was too strong for Eastern

played better all-round basket bell

Tinker More Successful
as Friend Than Manager

Whatever may be said of Joe
Tinker's ability to manage n ball
club, nobody cap say that he
doesn't stick by his friends.
There is no case of base ball
friendship to compare with thnt
between Tinker and MOrdecai
Brown, writes Wilbur Wood In
the st. Louis Republic.
Charles Webb Murphy shipped
Brown to Louisville in the fall of
1912, chOpping his contract from
$1,000 to $1.Sc0 per annum. Tin
ker. who managed the Cincinnati
Reds in 1913, saw to it that the
three-fngered curver did not toss
q ball In the American AsSocia-
ton. Tinker brought Brown to
Cincinnati and gave him u hand
some contract.
Tinker helped the miner along
again when Brown WAS released
from the position of manager OF
the st. Louis Feds late in 1914,
making Mordecai a member OF
the Chicago Whales pitching
star.
When peace eame and Tinker
took over the leadership of the
Cubs, the first thing he did was
to put Browns name ON the list
Of the men to he retained. Now

By Robert D, Burbank,
rresioent Of Washington District Epworth Leas

rresident Of washington District Epworth League
When Abraham Lincoln signed the
emancipation proclamation 1t was the
beginning of the emancipation OF the
colored race in this country; to con-
tinue this emancipation by raising the
physical. intellectual and moral con-
dition of from four to ten millions OF
people and freeing them from the
slavery of superstition, ignorance and
sin is the task upon which Christian
America has been engaged Tor more
than fifty years 1t is fitting. upon
the eve Of Lincoln's birthday, to take
a new look at the work he did. and to
get a new vision of the carrying out or
that work to completion, and to reailze
the responsibility upon US Tor the 1ui-
hllment of our part of that task.
Last week we discussed our social
relationships, and this week the
thought underlying our topic Is race

betwe cen the Samaritans and the Jews;
vet this poor Jew, robbed and beaten
nearly to death, after being ignored
by the priest and the Levite (who of all
persons should have been the first to
aid and care for him), was recognized
by the despised Samaritan as brother
in distress and need of help. and all
hatred and race prejudice was swept
aside, and the common brotherhood OF
man prevailed. Who is my neighbor?
He who is in need of the help I can

the principle laid down by Jesus
Christ.
Paul, writing to the church at Rome,
declared, There is no distinction be-
tween Jew and Greek: for the same
Lord is Lord of all. and Is rich unto
all that call upon Him." To the Gala
tians he wrote:
There can be neither Jew nor Greek,
there can be neither bond nor free,
there can be no male and female, for
We all are one man in Christ Jesus.
These were PaufS rebukes to those
early churches for the race prejudice
that was making trouble among their
members. There Was no compromise
and no hedging in PauPS declaration,
and 1t rang.out clear and true with the
specific application of the principle laid
down by Christ. Perhaps these words
