FIRST BASEBALL GAME OF
THE SEASON TOMORROW.
Bessemer and Hurley Will Stage the
Opener at the Hurley Park.
Game Called at 2:30.

BeSsemer and Hurley will stage
the opening game of the baseball
season on the home grounds to
morrow afternoon. The game will
be called at 2:3O.
The Bessemer team has been or
ganized for some time and since
getting together has put in lot of
practice and should be in condition
TO make a good showing against
Hurley tomorrow. The visitors
battery has been announced as com
prised of Hoeft, Runto and lie
Claire.
The local aggregation will include
many young men who played with
the Cary Empires in former years
together with few of the old tim
ers. They have all showed up good
III practice and give prospects of
making a first-class nine. Ersp
amer, Schwab, Regoni and Hunt
will make up the battery for Hur-
ley.
Manager Lanzer hopes that the
fans will turn out in large numbers
at the opening game and lend their
moral as we'll as financial support.
A baseball nine starting the season
needs all the encouragement pos
sible. With a good bunch of loyal
fans back of them the players can
do better work. And a ball team
is big asset for any town and de-
serves the support of the sport low
ing public.
The game tomorrow will be in
the nature of a try-out, both as
concerns the line up of the local
team and the patronage accorded
the players. In commenting on
baseball Manager Lancer said:
If the people of Hurley want
to see good baseball here this year
they will have to lend their assist
ance by helping to swell the gate
receipts. 1t takes money toruna ball
team and the financial support of
the fans is necessary as we'll as their
moral support. The team SO far
is made up entirely of home play
ers, but if the fans demand a better
article of ball than can be expected
from an entire home team, thus
making it necessary to import play
ers, particularly a battery, they
will have to come aCrose with the
dough. The article of ball to be
furnished the fans this year will
depend entirely on the support &C
corded us. If the attendance at the
games is such as to warrant going
to the expense of hiring players |
will not hesitate to do so. for it is
my intention to give the fans of
Hurley as good an article of bali as
possible. "
The admission fee for the game
tomorrow will be 5Ocents for a seat
in the grand stand and IS cents if
you are satisfied to sit in the blea-
chers. Ladies will be admitted free.

AMERICAN LEGION GOING
AFTER MORE MEMBERS
Nation wide Campaign viii Be Con-
Quoted Starting Next Mon
day, May IL.

Membersof The American Legion,
who will conduct a nationwide
campaign for new members, May
1922, believe that theirchief enemy
will be none other than old Gen
eral Inertia
The Legion now has approx.
imately one and half million mem
bers and seeks a million more,
When it is remembered that four
and half million men and women
are eligible for membership, by
reason of active service in the World
War III army, navv or marine corps,
it does not seem that The Legion's
aim is an extravagant one.
Posts throughout the country, of
which there are now about $500,
report that their chief obstacle in
getting men to join has been more
inertia. Thousands of men are con-
WINGED of the desirability of Legion
membership and are in hearty &C
cord with its principles. But they
have failed to obey that impulse"
and become active members. 1t is
believed national membership
push will supply the additional i'm
petus that will cause a majority of
these victims of inertia to join The
Legion.
The Legion has done enough
beneficial things for service men
generally, whether they were mem
bers of the organization or not, to
earn it high place in the affections
of these men. The Legion has OBJ
tanned from Congress an increase
of base pay fol the disabled from
$50 to $50 month, 1t has adjusted
thousands of claims for war risk
insurance for service men and their
dependents
Until the Legion took hold, the
Federal Board for Vocational Train
ing was not funCtioning properly
in many districts. Recently a plan
of co operation between The Legion
and the board has been devised
that promises to speedily solve the
rehabilitation problem for all the
disabled.
The Legion has helped to secure
preference for ex-service persons
and their widows in civil service
appointments and special preference
for the disabled.
The four-fold compensation bill
for all eX-service persons, now
before Congress, is familiar to all
as being the handiwork of The
Legion. Back in those days just
following rehabilitation, The
Legion was an active agency for re
employment and co-operated with
national state and private organ
izations to speedily return service
men to profitable and suitable en-
/ ployment.
A recent act of the organization
has been to raise fund throughout
the nation, with which to decorate
the graves of the soldier dead in
France. To this purpose the money
is being forwarded to the Paris
post of The Legion, and this post
will superintend the ceremonies.
In all these activities The Legion
has acted for service men as a whole
and not only for its members. A
great many service men are expect
ed to reciprocate by joining The
Legion now.

WORK OUT SALVATION,
 PASTOR HOWE'S THEME

Work out your own salvation" a text in which every word is emphatic, he said, was the theme for the sermon by Rev. Dr. s. H. Howe Sunday morn ing at Park Congregational church. The study of every word of the text is worth while
 In part he said
 First. Salvation is at once finished work and an unfinished work, a past accomplishment, d contemporary task and one day to be accomplished fact
 First. It leans back on the past. Its true hinterland is what was done by One who brought the world salvation. The context deals with this. He who was in the likeness of God came to us from without. Poured the whole wealth of personality upon the task of salvation, took the form of a servant, humbled Himself unto death, even the death of the cross for us.
 Second. It deals with the conquest of evil, the ever raging battle within and without. It deals with rescue, de- liverance, reinstatement, reinstallment in old franchises, resolving chaos into order.
 The word can be studied in the world of today. The world needs sal 1 vation. It has broken away from its
 
 l it's old leashes and is plunginS to its ruin. It has broken from old re- straints. It's problems mock tbe power of solution. The wisdom of the worlC l for it's control Is baffed, statesman ship, diplomacy are outmatched Idealism has broken down. Force compulsion, reason, persuasion ar. equally impotent. Only the spiri that breoded over and brought orde out of chaos can resolve these worlt problems, only He who walked th stormy sea of the old Galilee cal speak peace to this greater tempest and He is not appealed to. A grea ma sterful world -conauering fore alone can bring salvation.
 Third. And the individual sou knows that chaos of disorder. needing rescue, deliverance. reinstatement, re generation. It is more. Salvation i liberation into a new and expandin
