Playing Ball with the Mouth.

The Aberdeen American in dis
cussing why the Aberdeen ball club
does not receive the local support
it is ent tiled to, says: There may
be other reasons, but in the best in
terests Of the game, the American
would like to give one good one. 1t
is the absence Of a strong man with
a stuffed club from the ball field.
One dislikes to hear the English
language profaned.
The vile language addressed to
the grand stand by an Aberdeen
player Wednesday evening, the alb
usiva names given prominent pat
rons of the sport by certain other
players both Wednesday and Thurs
day, would xii! the support of any
team no matter how good.
There is something lacking some-
where when two or three players on
the ball field can quite obscure the
gentlemanly conduct Of all the 9th J.
ers in expressions of the loves. ma
ture, words which would cause
their arrest at once if uttered on
the public streets. These players
may we'll be spared.
Incidents like the above and the
frequent jangling Of the players,
during which the play is stopped to
give time for a wordy war if not
for a fsticuff exhibition. is one of
the bad features that have been
seen in our local games, and which
must be eliminated in the future if
the game is to hold the interest of
the public.

Rev. Stanley z. Jones spoke in
the First Methodist church Sunday
evening at the invitation of Rev.
Calfee. He spoke Of the work Of
the Army in the War time and now
in the peace time; saying that the
need Of such work was imperative
and that the Army was filling a gap
which no other organization could
fill.
Have you ever stopped to Won
der why we have a Salvation
Army?'' was the question which
Rev. Jones asked when he stepped
up to speak. 1t is because the
christian church failed and we as
Christians failed to do our duty.
We have not gone into the mud and
the mire for the lost sheep as Christ
commissioned us to do, but have
rather pulled aside our clothing lest
we become contaminated with sin.
If we will not do this work, we can
at least supply the money for the
Salvation Army to do it. We must
do it, either as Christians for the
helping Of fallen people or as
patriots, out of gratitude for the
splendid work they did with our
boys
