Tuesday evening, Sept 10, 1922,
Y. NJ. G. A. Gym, BOgalusa, La
Joe Bailey, pitching for the Superior
Avenue Baptist Indoor baseball team,
famed Glenn Bonney for the third
out. with two men on base, IN the
last winning and won his own game,
or rather saved it.
Led by Leroy Moore, with hits,
and Joe Bailey, with 3, the Baptlsts
ran ND a total of 16 runs, which
proved only two better than their OPP
Tgonents could make. The game was
a min and tuck" affair and every ex-
citing in spite of the lead the Bap-
fist had in scoring runs in the
fourth inning. The Methodists tried
hard and all but tied the score in the
sixth, when with 5 hits, 2 outs and
an error, they tailed 5 times.
Frank KentzelI, for the Metho--
dists, got a home run in the second
inning, with George Leahy on base,
when the ball struck a ring ana
bounced out the window. Besides
Kentzels two others hits, the Metho-
dists kept close on the Baptist boys
by the timely hitting Of Leahy, Bon
ney and he two Francis boys. Out
of a total of 20 hits, the Methodists
secured IL singles, six doubles,
tribes and a home run, while the
winners made only 9 singles, five
doubles and one triple.
Both teams played fast ball and
were on their toes all the time, the J
fielding feature being fast double |
played by John Bright and Sam kol-
ton for the victors.
Through a misunderstanding the
score was given out as tied at the
beginning Of the seventh inning, so
after Watson famed, Leroy Moore
took it upon himself to unite the
score with a pretty three-base hit,
after which he scored on an error.
The run was not needed though, as
the Baptists were already leading, 10

Quite a few fans enjoyed the game
and our opinion is that if we really
have some real indoor baseball fans,
they had better come out and see
these games, or they will miss
treat.

Retail Liquidations L
Help Wool Market
Demand for Goods From Firms .
Catering to Custom Tailors
ss Well Sustained

BOSTON, Feb. 25.-Onc of the sat
istactory features of the wool situa-
ton noticeable during the week was The
liquidation of clothing stocks bv rc-
tailers to sufficient extent to make
them interested in more purchases.
Equally interesting, according to n
wool dealer, is the fact that the cus-
tom tailor is enjoying period of
greater prosperity than for years. The
demand for goods from houses cater
ing to this trade is broad and well
sustained. The reason is the lower
price.
In many cases it costs less to have q
SUIT made by a customtailor than il
does to buy one of equal quality at the
stores. The reduced figure is possible
because the costs of the tailor are
much less than those of the manufac-
turer' who ha sto contend with OK
Penses which the tailor can avoid to q
large degree. SO, whatever dullness
may arise from lack of sales on the
part OF the retailer is counteracted bv
the increasing business Of the tailor
,both OF the factors mentioned are
bound to be reflected in stimulated in
tercst IN cloth and wool.
inc chief call to-day is for thibets
ana cassimeres Of standard design and
color at reasonable prices The cloth,
and the wool are said to be reasonable
IN price to-day, as there is onlv a
small difference between the buyers'
and sellers prices. 1t is possible that
late season development will make
ooth goods and wool markets active.

You arc morally Il trustee for the

therefore to select the highest grade

can choose mono better than the OBJ

Worried Over Chemical Bonds

Question-Kaving been a reader for some
time OF The Tribune, daily and sunday I
would appreciate it very much If you would
give me your opinion Of Virginia Carolina
Chemical ~ per cent bonds. ] purchased
one Of these when they were flrst issued
at 964 and Judging from tho way they
are acting on the market I feel as thour h
had made mistake and feel like sell
Ing, but before doing this would feel very
grateful for an opinion from you should I
come within the circle of those entltled d
TO this valued service.-H II
Answer Virginia. Carolina Chemical
is strong company which has gone
through other severe depressions in
agriculture. but the company has been
adversely affected by postwar con
dltions to an extent never before ex-
perlenced. There is, therefore. an ele-
ment OF speculation in the bonds. in
that it is matter of judgment and
opinion 81 to how soon the farmers will
be able to make purchases of fertilizer
and pay for their purchases. As samat-
ter of opinion only, we think that the
Virginia. Carolina Chemical Company is
IN position to wait until the farmers
are again ready to purchase fertilizer,
and that the bonds, interest and prime,
pal are reasonably safe

Five thousand dollars each in Reading.

there are nearly S75,00O0O0 Of these
