SIMPSON-In sad but loving re-
membrance Of my dear beloved
mother and grandmother, MARY
EMMA SIMPSON, who departed
this life one year ago today. De-
cember 30, 1920
We may have our sorrows,
Some grief quickly dies away,
But the loss of my dear mother
Grieves my heart from day to day.
God called her, it was His will,
But in our hearts we love her still,
Her memory is as fresh today,
As the hour she passed away.
Sweet and peaceful be her rest
Forget her we can never,
God called her, He knew best,
His will be done forever.
BY her daughter, Mamie,
3O9-1p. and grandson, Joseph.

peciing 10 win another championship.
Last year the Pikers won the champion

whip them on the local field.
While the present weather is hardly
conducive TO more than easy workouts

ing the Tigers to be idle The pitchers
have been instructed to take il easy, and,
other than to throw to batters. they have
had very little work TO do.
Johny Miller is 10 be bench manager
for the greatest portion Of the season. In
previous seasons he has always been out
showing his men just how it should be
done This year il is a pair Of erutehes
and the bench for him until the latter
part Of nexf month.
The Tigers will open the season little
earlier this spring than usual Drake Uni
versiiy will be the foe. April SO. With
the exception Of two or three positions
Miller has practically chosen his nine.
The pitching staff probably will be
made up Of four men, who will be chosen
from the six or eight members Of the
present hurting squad. Pnuiit. souihpaw.
and Smith and Ficklin, portsiders. seem
certain Of permanent berths. Maddox
and Harrison are also showing a world
Of stuff. Shepherd, another southpaw,
has plenty Of hooks and speed, but has
difficulty in locating the plaie.
Behind the plate Murphy looks like
the best bet. Murphy knows the game.
By a glance around the diamond he can
tell what the next move should be; on
defense, he will be the main cog Of the
Old Gold and Black in6eld, while in
addition he has a great arm, Lee Simp-
son is showing more of his old time form
each day. and when warm weather ar
riyes it is expected that he will be able
