HARMONIC GIVES PLEASING
CONCERT

The Summer School concert held in
the College Chapel, Tuesday evening,
August 8, under the dictatorship of
Professor Rigby, afforded one of the
most pleasing entertainments of the
entire Summer School entertainment
program. In spite of the fact that
the departure of many of Berea's
best talented musicians at the end of
the school year in June has been la
mented by music lovers, Professor
Rigby seemed to be able to continue
in pretty much the same old fashion,
giving what always seems to be the
best and most pleasing. The num-
Der which, perhaps, brought the most
enthusiastic response from the audi
ence was the duet, 81 Feel Thy
Angel Spirit" rendered by Mr..
Rigby and Floyd Settle.

BASEBALL.

johnson Park, Aug. 6.-Corbin de-
feated the Hustlers here today In a
one-sided affair. The locals seemed
to be very unsteady in most Of the
positions. Bowman was hit haro,
the Corbin team getting a total Of
seventeen hits But the best have
of days, which goes in baseball. Cor
bin has the advantage of our club
In being able to afford salaried play
ers. But at that, we have a good
team, having a better record for the
season than any club we have played.
Played 33 games and lost 9.
A word TO our patrons and play
ers: No one knows that never man.
aged ball club what a manager has
to contend with. You can't satisfy
everybody. II cant be done. An
other thing: It looks very cheap for
our own fans to dodge paying the
small admission to see our games.
Also it shows bad craftsmanship for
our own people to knock on and guy
our own players on the field. We
kindly ask those Of that kind to stay
away from the park. The manage
ment sincerely thanks the fans who
have stood by US this year. Our sea
son closes the Gath of September.
Respectfully.
