Women's Gospel Meeting.

In spite of the rain and the cOnse-
qucnt smaller congregation, the WO-
mems Gospel team held an enthusiastic
and helpful meeting in the Methodist
church yesterday afternoon. Mrs. j.
L. King, as leader, proved she could
manage situations against all odds !;
and Miss Ella Graffunder put much
spirit into the song service.
Mrs. Marion Smith, of the Baptist
church, read as the scripture lesson
Romans, 10Th chapter.
Miss Meta Robinson, of the Metho-
DIST church, took as her subject, Faith
and Fear" and showed how one works
against the other in our lives. Miss
Robinson handled her subject as one
who knows by experience how great a
thing is faith.
A beautiful violin solo by Miss Glare
Criswell with Miss Carrie Snow as ac-
companist, was much appreciated by all
present.
Miss Dora Witt. Of the English Luth-
eran church, gave splendid talk on
the good one does in this world, en-
phasizing the thought that it is the
little things that count. She closed
with the beautiful poem, THE Two
Roads,
Mrs. Geo. Kent, of the Christian
church, chose Prayer as her theme
and gave most interesting talk on
how much influence prayer has-both
in the lives Of individuals and in COM
munities.
An excellent testimony service was
held in which all expressed the good
the gospel meetings had done them.
We were sorry there were not more
women to hear these excellent talks,
as we consider this one Of the very best
meetings the team has held.
The next meeting will be held in the
Baptist church.

REMNANTS FOLLOW THIS ROOKIE
Flashy Coast Shortstop Goes to Yankees As
 Costly Prize
BY DEAN SNYDER Johnny Mitchell is a good jinx.

Remnants follow in his wake
 He's played on six winners in the last eight years.
 No wonder Miller Higgins, mite manager of the Tanks, was willing to trade flock of players for the Yer non star shortstop.
 In the three e-cornered deal the Tanks shipped Truck Hannah. Ernie Shore, Ham Hyatt and Bob McGraw to Yer non and Left O'Doul to San Francisco, which club in turn sent Roy Corhan and Slim" Love to the Vernon Tigers.
 Six for One
 In all Manager Bill Esseck received six players for one.
 That amount of playing chattel ex- pressed in legal tender would spin the cash register around several times.
 Mitchell stacks up the most ex- pensive rookie sent up to the major this year.
 He is mild hammered fellow off the ball lot.
 On the field he's the bane of club mates who are inclined to loaf. Razzes Loafers 'T don't come on the ball lot to kill time" says Mitchell.
 Why should any other player do l it?
 Sometimes players come into the | club house with the remark that to- ! morrow's another day and we can't win 'em all
 well that's old stuff. I don't like it T try to make myself believe the | theory that We can win em all if we hustle hard enough
 If I can hit up there with the Tanks 1 I'll get alopg all right
 Pm not afraid of making good as 8 fielder
 There's just a little more finish tc | the fellows up there"
 Magic Land
 The Coast league has always beer the magic land for crack shortstops. Hollocher, Zeb Terry, Bancroft. Wea- ver, Peckinpaugh, Olson, Ward and Risberg all started in the west. Mitchell is a glutton for work.
 He didn't miss single time at ba in 1919. Last year he duplicated his feat up until the last week of the sea son when the flag was cinched. Ther
