ston, Juno 7, 1922: Eminent Sir
James L. Bagley, Oct. Q, 1922; Sir
knight Joseph Q. Halves, Nov. o.
1922. Tho Grand Master sent the
following response:
"Sir Knights:
1.-THE. Templar Host. more than
four thousand strong within the folds
of the Grand Encampment, are ex-
pected to subscribe to the sentiment
expressed as they have always been
loyal TO the government of the Or
der and have acknowledged their
feality to their officers, Whosoevcr
they temporarily arc.
"1ct we must not lose sight Of
the fact that while we select men for
4 time as our chosen leaders, our
Great Leader. "He who shed his
blood for many, The Blessed I'm
manuel. the Prince OF Peace, The
Captain of Our Salvation" is not
only our real leader, but a leader of
all mankind; and if the Earring cop-
tests and the clashing interests of
the world are ever to be reconciI1ed,
it will be by putting into practical
effect the teachings of Him who
leads us through the trials and vi
cisaitudes of this life. comforts US
in tho hour Of dissolution and as
sures us of Immortality in the world
to come.
"The great question not only is,
shall we put our trustt in Him, but
will we put into practise His precepts,
one of which is Charity; charity not
only for the opinions of others but
charity in administering TO the ply
steal necessities of the needy and
distressed.
Therefore. the central thought is
to impress upon the minds of the
members of the Valiant and Magnan-
imous Order Of Christian Knight
hood, that we should remember the
injunction to protect the weak, care
for the unfortunate. and bind up the
wounds of the afflicted"
"Your Grand Master hopes and
trusts that the membership Of the
several Communicates will assemble
in their respective Asylums on
Christmas day, the natal day of
Jesus of Nazareth, the Savior of the
world. and take such action as will
carry into effect one of the funda-
mental principles of the order, re-
membering that Faith without
works, accomplished nothing" and
that of the three cardinal virtues,
Faith. Hope and Charity, the great
est is Charity.
Cautiously yours

Baseball Fandom ,of Alabama and Georgia Want League-Hapgood

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 23.-The attempt to organize a league among the smaller cities of Georgia and Ala bama, that would affiliate with or ganized baseball. is making progress, according to reports received. Last year an independent league operated in this territory and made use of a number of suspended players. There is some disappointment, 1t is said. that these piayefs cannot be so dis posed of that the cities In which they were favorites can use them again. However. there seems no disposition on the part of the national associa- tion authorities to modify their de- cree against so-called "ineligibles."
 In this connections statement made by Waiter Hapgood, business manager of the Rochester club, may be of interest. Hapgood spent three weeks in the south recently, book ing exhibition games for various clubs. and was able to get the senti- ment of the fans first-shand. These fans. he concluded were tired of the independent brand of baseball, and he remarked that he knew of at least three independent leagues that would be reorganized if there was action of the association that would clear the status of number of players w.lo had been playing in the independent leagues

Virginia League m Uncertain Condition as the Season Nears


 PORTSMOUTH, Vat Dec. 23.-Of more importance than lining up bail players just now, in the opinion of President Frank Lawrence of the Portsmouth club, is settlement of the makeup of the Virginia league cir cult for 1923.
 Before I talk of my team or give out any plans for the next season. I am going to join with the other mo- guls of the circuit to learn just where we stand" said MT. Lawrence. on re- turning from Louisville. "The ques- tion of the 1923 circuit must be set tied within the next week or ten days This is the pressing matter for con sideratioH."
 Norfolk owners feel the same way as MT Lawrence and II. P. Dawson, owner of the Newport News franchise, joins in their demand for immediate action. Mir. Dawson's franchise is on the market and he wants to get 1t off his bands as early as possible, as he has other fish to fry. As a result of demand for action 1t is expected President Mover will call a show down meeting at once.
 With Rocky Mount again on the shaky side of the lineup and the Newport News franchise on the mar ket. the Virginia league is in it's usual mldwinter quandary. But the situation is worse than usual because the only cities available for places

The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-12-24


 Young stribling. veteran of bs fights in two years, only two of which he lost, against Anthony Dow ney. the man whom Biddy Bishop made famous. the ringman whom all eastern middleweights respect. that's the layout of the main event at the Birmingham Athletic club on Friday night, December 29.
 stribling's Record
 The youthful Stribling, who will celebrate hts eighteenth birthday this week. has fought In main fights only two years, but he has compiled record of victories unsurpassed by any other Dixie ringman. Stribling has either knocked out or outpointed every worthy foeman within his weight in the south. and that in- cludes Jake Abel. Red Herring. Bat tling Budd and all the other leading Dixie mittmen.
 In his bout with Downey here Frr- day night. Stribling will be making his first bid for eastern honors. In all his battling, the Macon ringman has not met leading eastern op- ponent. and Downey will probably furnish him the greatest opposition of his career Friday night.
 A High Class Match
 Stribling Is undoubtedly a high class battler. Downey, leading ring man in Biddy Bishops stable. Is of many battles. and has de- feated some of the country's leading Birmingham Athletic club officials believe they have made the best match available from Dixie's boxing talent, and are hopeful of a successful staging of the show Friday night.
 Young Stribling is bringing two very important members of his fam fly over to the bout Friday night, and all three of the clan will play important roles in Friday nights show.

 And when "Baby" stribling Is through with his turn, he will take his brothers seat by the ringside, and Young Stribling will strip for action against Downey.
 Thus the Striblings will be impor- tant principles in Friday nights show, and a Stribling has never been known to lay down on the job in a fight. So say Macon fans, who know well the prowess of Young Stribling and company

 The Stribling- -Sarron bout Is ex- pected to be corking good little scrap, and Birmingham Athletic club officials are more than elated at sign ing the smallest of the Striblings for the bout.
 Friday nights show is expected to draw the biggest crowd of tho year, Birmingham Athletic club officials stated, for the main. bout is un- doubtedly of only the highest caliber, they say. Tickets are now on sale at the Birmingham Athletic club and can be made there or by telephone.
