Atlanta Club
Sued For Signing
TWO Independents

NEWCASTLE, Pa, July THE
right OF organized baseball to sign
a player who has contract with
ar Industrial or semlprofessIonai
club. without coming to terms with
nonleague teams, will be tested In
court, according to announcement
made here today by w. {. Duer-
stein, an official Of the Castle Cords
nine OF Newcastle.
Duersteln has teleoraphed his at.
torneys at Macon, Ca, to take ac-
ton against the Atlanta team of
the Southern association, which re-
Gently signed contracts with Cliff
Markle, pitcher, and Frank Mills,
catcher, Of the Cords. The Cords
had agreements with Markle and
Mills to play with the club here
this season, but, despite this, the
Atlanta team signed them, accord
ing to Duersteln. The question at
issue, he said, is whether a contract
with an Independent club Is not as
binding as one with league team.

THE DYERSBURG TEAM.

The ,Dyersburg baseball club must be
whale. This team, composed of some
OF the best semipro ball players in the
country, and also numbering among its
athletes several ball players who have
mad professional experience, has lust
won its 26th consecutive game.
The Dyersburg club has not lost a
game this season. Winning 26 straights
is a feat that any team might well be
proud of, for many of the contests
have been hard fought, and on several
occasions the Dyersburgians have been
forced to extend themselves to the limit
TO win.
There is a remarkable fighting spirit
on the club, and they never give up.
IN addition they are all pulling together
They beat weak and strong clubs alike.
They play like a well oiled machine,
each man doing his share, and every
man with his head up, fighting. and
putting out all he's got in an effort to
win.
Dyersburgans are justly proud Of
their bali team, for it is a remarkable
aggregation, and one of the best if not
he best semipro club in the history
of Tennessee baseball.
Local fans are about fed up on losses
and are becoming weary at seeing the
Tribe lose day after day
Something must be done at an early
date or the Chicks will be doomed to

enough yet to oVertake the leaders and

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

If you would spend happy
Christmas, see to it that you make
some one else happy. Real happl-
ness is attained in only two ways:
by making others happy or by others
making you happy. Happiness can
not be secured by selflshness. Most
of those 'reading this article are
doubtless of mature years. You re-
member when you were child
Christmas was happy time. You
spent several months just looking
forward to Christmas. You were
happy then because others made you
$3.50. Those happy Christmases may
again be realized-not in the same
way, because you are grown up, and
YOU can have the same feelings now
only by taking advantage of your
opportunity to do to others as others
did to you years ago. The nearest
approach to the happiness of your
childhood Christmas is in the making
of others happy now. There are
thousands in the world, maybe next
door to you, whose circumstances
are such that Christmas will not be
the merry time it ought to be; per-
haps it is not possible for< Santa
Claus to make his annual visit there
and leave the things that will be left
at your freside Friday night. If you
would awaken that childish happl-
ness in your own breast, make II
possible for Santa to be in that home.
Pick out some such family and pro-
vide the children with the things that
make the childish heart glad. Trash!
Perhaps. Yet, we are often persuad-
ed that nothing is trash that makes
folks happy. If there are none near
you in needy circumstances, there
are many hundreds of thousands in
foreign lands, who will not only not
have Christmas joys, but who have
not even the absolute necessities of
life. Funds are being collected for
these needy people throughout the
land, and it will make you feel bet
ter if you will contribute to such a
cause generously. Exercise the real
Christmas spirit-peace on earth,
good will toward men. Forget the
price of cotton for few days. The
world was here before cotton was
ever heard of anyway.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1920-12-23

with these two items, there being no
recent advance except in some few
instances. Poster paper has made a
recent advance of 25 cents per ream,
now quoted at $500 ream, the last
ouotation being s3.75, and the pre-
war price being, we believe, about
% cents.
There has been no decline in any
material entering into the printing
and publishing business, and it is the
opinion of those making a study Of
the situation that the previous low
levels may not be looked for any
time soon, if ever.
No paper, so far as we have learn
ed, has made any attempt to re-
duce it's subscription price or advsT-
tising rates. The subscription Of this
paper was not advanced with other
commodities, for the reason that IN
creasing or decreasing subsbcrlp-
ton price is not without great dltfl-
culties, and we preferred to take Ger
tain losses than make any changes
And we can see no possibility OF any
reduction. In fact The Herald was
worth $500 a year long before the
increase was made, before the war
for that matter, and would have been
increased anyway.
