ENTHUSIASTIC
BALL MEETING
Ball Team for 1922 Demanded. Com
mittees Appointed for Financ-
ing Club. Reports Read.

The Baseball meeting at the City
Hall yesterday afternoon was very
we'll attended and was decidedly en-
thusiastic.
A report of the doing Of the last
years club was read and showed the
club to have been practically self
supporting organization. The club at
this time is free from debt. $3,800.OO
was received from the Commercial
Club budget last year and of this
amount approximately 100000 was
spent in improving the new baseball
park at the head of Fifth avenue,
leaving only $1,S00.00 to be used in
the running expenses of the club.
With this small amount the club was
able to run through the season and
clear up all debts at the close, which
speaks we'll for last years manage
ment.
The proposition of having 1922
club was discussed and it seemed to
be the general opinion that Valley
City should not be without one, for
several reasons. In the first place a
good baseball team is capable Of fur
nishing good sport to the citizens, it
gets the city talked about throughout
the state and is the best advertising
we can get for the amount Of money
expended. Then we are to have the
largest 1922 convention Of the state
! in the city this summer, the U. C. T.
convention. We are in duty bound to
see that the travellers are we'll enter
tanned and baseball is the most popu-
lar entertainment which could be pro-
| vided. The members of the U. G.. T.
are the best boosters for any town
that can be found and their endorse
ment of the city will be worth more
than the total cost of the ball club
to the city. Taking these things into
consideration it was felt that a base
ball club in the city this year was a
necessity.
Former manager j. H. Sampson
told of a letter he had received from
Everett Dean, last years second base
man and one of last years star play
ars, asking if Valley City was to have
= club next year and Offering to put
in a club here that would be among
the top notchers. Dean is familiar
with the best Of the semi-pro players
in the country and is capable Of get
ting winning club together at less
expense to the city than anyone here
He is everything that man should
be and would certainly be a credit to
The city as manager of our ball club
]. II. Sampson, who left for the cit
les last night, was instructed to see
Mr.. Dean and get his proposition So
that the same could be placed before
he fans at the time OF the next meet
ing.

PRESIDENT ALLEN
QUOTES PASSAGES

Thursdays chapel exercises were
opened by short story presented by
DR.. c.. E. Allen. The chief purpose
as he stated, was Ito confirm students
in their decision to come to this in
stituton."
The story is as follows:
Just after the Board had brought
the schools up to date to prepare you
for your life work without teaching
one superfluous thing, Jim Riley pre-
sented himself to be educated. He
wanted to be brick layer, SO they
taught him to be a perfect brick lay
err and nothing more! He knew so
much about brick laying that the con-
tractor made him a foreman; but he
knew nothing about foreman, so ne
spoke to the school board about it,
and they put in night course on how
to be a foreman.-and nothing more!
He became so excellent a foreman that
the contractor made him partner;
but he knew nothing about figuring
-os..s, nor bookkeeping, nor real es-
tie, and he was ashamed to go back
% night school, so he hired tutor
y,o taught him these things.
P-ospering at last, and meeting
other men as wealthy as he, When
ever the conversation started, he'd
say, "Ill lie low till it comes my way,
then I'll show 'em". But they never
mentioned brick laying, nor the art
Of being a foreman, nor the whole
duty of being a contractor, nor figur-
ing costs, nor real estate. So Jim
never said anything,-but he sent his
sen to college!
President Allen also gave from his
memory the following quotation from
President Hyde of Bowdoin college.
"To be at home in all lands and in
all ages; to count Nature familiar
acquaintance and Art an intimate
friend; to gain a standard for the ap-
probation of other mems work and
The criticism Of your own; to carry
the keys of the worlds library in
your pocket, and feel it's resources
behind you in whatever task you I'M
dertake; to make hosts of friends
among men of your own age who are
to become leaders in all walks Of life;
to lose yourself in generous enthusl-
| SINS, and to cooperate with others
! for common ends; to form character
| under professors who are Christian:
and to learn manners from students
| who are gentlemen. -
| 'This is the offer Of the college for
| the best four yeas ca your life"
