mediately notable decrease in at

When life is filled with trouble,
When the cards don't fall your way
And it seems as though the game were
Lost no matter what you play
When the odds are all against you.
Do not slacken in your pace.
Just remember it's the finish.
That will win or loose the race.
Do not let lifes many worries.
Draw a veil before your brain.
For you'll need the clearest thinking.
If you'll win looseing game,
Brace yourself against Fates' buffets
Watch with care your every play.
They will leave a point unguarded.
And your chance will come soN$day
When the little pawns are taken,
In life's varied games of chess.
Don't give UP the fight as over,
But begin to play your best.
And remember while you ponder
If your game shall show no faw,
The most the Fates can ever do
Is to play you to draw.

CAMBRIDGE LOSES AGAIN!

Yes. folks, its a sad. sad story.
and we hate to tell it. but our ball
club lost again to Crisfeld last Sat
urday. There is an excellent chance
eofor some one with the ability OF a
dopester to put himself close to the
hearts of Cambridge fans, providing
he can solve the riddle.
Why isn't the Cambridge ball cluo
winning more games? The boys
are working together each one FOR
everyone else, they work with splen-
did cooperation, and put up very
good game. Their average of err
rors per game is as low as any cluo
in the league. They play a more
scientific game than any of them. The
pitching staff is doing some great
work. But here is the trouble-the
club isn't hitting, and the breaks all
90 against them. That is the secret
of the whole situation.
Saturday, only % Cambridge bat
tiers faced Bonsack, the Crisfield PIT
cher. only two men reaching hrst,
and only one of these succeeding IN
reaching second. This one, Herb
Armstrong himself, doubled to right
field. went to third on Bunting's sac
rifice. and scored on a wild pltch.
But one run won't win many ball
games in this or any other league.
Lefty" Tregoe, dorchester
county boy, hurled for Cambridge
and pitched very creditable game.
He allowed the Crisield club only
five hits. Three of these were
rather lucky, and all of them scored
runs. In the second, with runners
on second and third, and two out,
Bonsack hit an easy one at Flowers,
the ball hopping nicely until II
reached him when it bounded over
his shoulder, one run scoring. Flow
ers, who knocked down the ball,
caught the second runner at the
plate, for the third out.
In the sixth, Scheifer scored from
second. on Dittmar's hit to right
field, with two out. Swingler was
all set for the ball but it struck, a
snag and bounced off to his right. In
the eighth, Carroll hit what looked
to be a single to left field, but Bill
Duffy stepped. into a hole and fell,
and Carroll got two bases, going TO
third and scoring on two sacrlhces.
Only one of the Crisfeld runs were
earned, and that, in itself. is suffl-
cient recommendation of Tregoe's
prowess.
BY losing these two games to
Crisfield Cambridge lost an oppor-
tunity to go into second place in the
league race. Instead of advancing,
however, she slipped back one place,
Manager Armstrong expects the boys
to emerge from their hitting slump,
shortly and hopes to start win
ming drive this week, perhaps begin
ming at Parksley today.

POWER OF NEGRO MUSIC

AS a wonderfully rich background
for all the addresses at Belts AGA
DENY, whether these addresses deal
with personal experiences or with
good counsel for the young or mex
perienced, there is the heart-music of
a people emerging from darkness to
light and from ignorance to knowl-
edge. Again and again there came a
soul-stirring chorus-"Take your bur-
den to the Lord and leave it there"
The prayer for new light was con-
stant-"Let the light from the light
house shine on me-" The good tidings
of a new day had many heralds-"I'm
going to tell about Jesus wherever /

PROF. KERLIN ACCEPTS
SPLENDID POSITION

Prof. Robert T. Kerlin whose oper
letter of protest addressed to the gov.
ernor Of Arkansas against the execu-
ton of the twelve colored men con-
victed in connection with the Phillips
County riots of October, 1919 led to
his dismissal from the Virginia Mill
tary Institute, has recently accepted
the headship of the Department OF
English at the State Normal School
at West Chester, Pa.
Although himself a Southerner,
Prof. Kerlin refused to remain silent
at what appeared to him a great trav-
esty on justice and his letter uncom-
promisingly arraigned the governor Of
Arkansas, the trials of the colored
men, and the wholly unfair conviction
OF the men who, daring to protest
against the share-cropping system I'M
der which they were being robbed,
were accused OF plotting to mas
sacre" white people. This letter re-
ceived widespread publicity and re-
suited in airing the Arkansas cases in
way that was exceedingly distaste-
full TO the Arkansas authorities. His
summary dismissal followed the pub
LEGATION of Mr.. Kerlin's letter.
The acquisition of this new and
better position in a state in which
scholarship and honesty are more
highly regarded than Virginia is a
step on which Mr.. Kerlin is being
heartily congratulated
For more than three years Prof.
Kerlin has been a strong supporter of
this newspaper and it will follow him

editor is indeed greatly delighted 10

GETTING A SPOT LIGHT. THE
OLD SETTLERS MEET
By DR.. M. A Majors

Have you been in Chicago thirty
yearss Are you the son or daughter
of some one who came to Chicago
thirty years ago? If you came to Chi
cago to live during the Worlds Fair,
which was in '93, you will have to
wait one more year before you can
become member of The Old Settlers
Club.
Thirty years ago Chicago life was
quite different from what it is today.
Scarcely were there any of us east of
State St, except the Wheelers,
Harsh's, Mrs. John G. Jones, Platts,
Ectons, there may have been a very
precious few others. Then the vast
majority of US lived north of Eigh-
teenth ST., and most of our churches
were down town.
Thirty years ago did not offer to
the race as big life as the present day,
but thirty years ago has in memories
casket pearls, diamonds and precious
"reminiscences of a life that was
sweeter and purer.
Board walks, cobblestones and cabs
make a picture a bit grotesque, as
compared to cement, asphalt, and taxi
cabs but they were the best we could
get at the time and we got along very
well.
The Old Settlers cherish these fond
memories, and it is a treat indeed to
hear many of them tell "reminiscences
of the South Side extending no further
than Twelfth St and about the stock
yard north of Eighteenth St. west of
Dearborn. Then there were only a
few hundred of US living in this great
city by Lake Michigan, the inland sea
