ACADEMY VS.. COLLEGE

Monday, April ~, the Academy
baseball team was defeated IN a
Shining game against College. To
the sorrow Of the Academy and the
joy Of College, who had scored five
runs in the fourth, rain cut the
game short in the first half OF the
sixth. At that time, Academy was
al Rat with two men out and College
had not then had their turn at
bat. The game was featured by a
brilliant catch in right field by
Beck Robertson and by the hitting
OF Parsons, who made two safe ones
in three trips TO the plate.
The lid was kept down tight un-
iii the fourth, although in the FIRST.
Academy had men on second and
third when the inning ended. When
College came TO bat in the fourth,
Gilligan got TO first on an error.

ACADEMY VS.. VOCATIONAL

Academy played her first game
Of the season against Vocational.
Saturday. April 10, winning. 10 TO o.
The playing on both sides was loose
and errors were scattered all thru
the game. Il was just the kind Of
game TO make the spectators go
wild. The score changed from one
side 10 another five times. and
ended by each team making three
runs in the ninth inning. voca-
tiOnal opened the fireworks with
two runs in the first. Academy
followed with one in the first and
two in the second. Then first one
side. then the other took the lead.
in the third inning, Robertson re-
placed Templeton as pitcher for
Academy. McAllister made an ex-
cellent play when he hunted in

made a brilliant catch az a critical
moment. Hammett made three hits
in four times up. This victory was
not a freak, nor was il a streak Of
good luck. Gallagher. McVey and
Hammett Of Academy made two-bag-
gers. Hammett, Of Academy, made
a three-bagger and Johnson. OF vo-
catiOnal, made a home run. In %
times at bat Academy made 10
hits, batting average of 1857. In
the ninth. when the winning run
was scored, only one man was out.
a man was on second. Turner was
tired and being hit right along and
academy probably could have run
in several more runs if they had
been needed. But ten runs are
enough TO win most any old ball
game and they proved enough TO
break this one up and put it on ice
FOR Academy.

SOCIETIES IN MAIN CHAPEL

The young peoples religious So

joint meeting in the Main Chapel
Sunday evening, April IL.
After a short song service and an
opening prayer by one of the visit
Ors at Berea, and a beautiful duet
by Miss Haley and Miss Healey, very
ably accompanied by Miss Dimple
Payne, Professor Smith, we'll versed
in folklore and negro life in the
South, gave us a very interesting
illustrated lecture on the Negro
Racial Problem of the South
The slides were sent TO the Y. M.
c. A. by DR.. Weatherford and rep
resented the conditions Of negro
life both good and bad. These slides
showed the true conditions OF the
negro. In the course Of the lecture
Professor Smith showed how the
life Of the negro could become more
tolerable. The negro should be
given the opportunity to become
educated and then the racial prob
lem will b greatly diminished.
But as long as the negro is held
with contempt and treated worse
than some animals without a soul,
his condition will not improve and
the race problem will become more
vital and very hard to control.
Next Sunday night, April i8, in
the Main Chapel, these lectures will
be continued by the Y. NJ. C. A.
DR.. Raine will lead and deal with
the NEGRO Racial Problem" from a
different phase.

Bad Creatures 70 Meet.

Strange and fearsome creatures
roamed the wildernesses of America a
few million years ago. There were
trachodons, with 2,0o0 teeth, which
they devoted TO the gentle art of mas
ticating heritage. There were also,
says bulletin Of the National Geo
graphic society. ornlthomimuses, which
had no teeth at all, but jaws like the
beak of bird. There were four-foot-
ed herbivorous reptiles such as tho
monoclOnius, which had three horns
and several rows Of doublerooted
teeth. besides beak like a turtles.
There were ankylosauruses. which
wore a suit OF plate armor. All In all.
life in America at that time must havc
been full OF interest.

REV. A. A. MYERS

Among those still living who had
large interest in Berea College long
ago. is Rev. Arthur A. Myers. He
has lately suffered bereavement in
the death Of his second wife, who
died at Hillsdale, Mich. March 3ist.,
after a long and distressing ill
ness. Mrs. Myers never was in Be-
rea. Before her marriage, about
twenty years ago, and during the
time since, she was engaged in the
gospel ministry. Much of the time
she has done evangelistic work.
She had a commodious tent which
was moved from place TO place.
Once she took an extended trip in
Asia, as an inspector Of Methodist
Missions in that part Of the world.
Brother Myers is a native OF
Pennsylvania, during the sixties
and seventies of the last century
conducted successful revivals in
Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, ETC., and
still, past eighty years Of age, is en-
gagged in active work. His first wife.
who passed at Cumberland Gap,
Tenn, in 1897, was a sister Of the
first Mrs. L. V. Dodge, and was
wonderfully efficient helper in the
various religious and educational
enterprises which engaged her hus-
bands attention. In the winter OF
is77-7S they came TO Berea, and 6
phenomenal protracted meeting Of
several weeks duration was held.
Following that Mr.. Myers held meet
ings at many points in territory
previously visited by Professor
Dodge. He organized independent
gospel churches at Mckee. Pine
Grove. williamsburg Rockhold,
Woodbine, Jellico, Cumberland Gap,
etc. Out of that work grew Will
liamsburg Academy, Abraham Lin
coin Memorial University, and other
schools. Though Brother Myers has
kept through all these years. q
home in Hillsdale, Michigan. his |
residence and his work, for the past
forty years, have been in the Noun
tain region of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, or travelling in the North and
East, in the interest Of Mission
Schools. For many years he was
one of the trustees Of Berea College,
and always has retained deep in
torest in its work. He hopes TO visit
here during the coming Commence
ment.

which is so charactistic Of Mr..

that is being done by the girls Good

many girls in all parts of the coun-
try will take great interest in this
new club. Henry Baker concluded
the program with. an able talk on
several phases Of the tobacco prob
lem.
The Anti-Tobacco League is plan
ming an effective summer campaign
against tobacco. If you are inter-
csted in such a movement you
should join the Anti-Tobacco League
