NATIONAL NEGRO BASEBALL

OPENING OF 1922 SEASON
(PrestOn News Seryice.)

Y
Last week was "Got-Away week."
Eight y. N League Clubs ana some for
ty or f!uy thol send wild.cyed fans
banded together and titled the lid to
the 1922 baseball season and started it
OH its uncertainway. Uncertain because
nobody knows where 1t is going to
hang up or what it may bring.
That's what makes it such whale
of game. It's a long hike from May
TO October and the whole route of the
footpath is ballastcd with bursted
hopes, shattered ambitions, reversal Of
forms. walls, jibes, jeers, cheers and
performances OF unhcralded merit
and in the end it is good for all OF us.
Starting right in the middle of the
industrial depression Of 1922, the sea-
son starts OH its cheerful way with
brighter prospects than has been the
case for many q season.
The peculiar thing about baseball rs
business is that when industry Is at
standstill and men are idle the
crowd at the ball games is larger than
when industry is OH the hum. Base
ball prospers most when others are
idle.
BASEBALL IN DOLLARS
AND CENTS.
Any person who Is statistically in
clined might sit down and compute
what Negro National League season
means to various interests Of the coun
try. Let him begin with the opening
of the league on May and go down

bers and all, considering the number
of ball players who will be spending

travelling, ground rentals and ground
Keeping expenses. including overhead
to say but little Of the amount for soft
drinks. smokes, peanuts. etc, consum.
ed by the fans. Just as q starter here
is something.
IN order to comply with the league
schedule the clubs will travel an
aggregate total of $4,000 miles dur
Ing the 1922 season. At the rail-
road fare Of threo cents per mile It
means that the clubs will spend for
individual players expenses bv rail.
*1.6SO. With fourteen PLAYER
limit each club will cary an average
Of sixteen men, including business
representatives, which means 1881
men for the eight clubs Of the league
or n total Of $46,240 in railroad
fares alone. At an average hotel
rate of $500 per day during the
only time in which the teams are
travelling. you can add to the rail
road fare, $7,476 as hotel bills.

Presbyterian Picnic

Bad weather kept the Presbyte- rian Sunday school from having a picnic the last time one was planned, but the young folks made up for all disappointments of that sort on Tuesday of this week. Though near ly all the older members were either away from home or busy at some form of employment, yet the chill dren mustered fifty for the days fun. The main camp was made just be- yond the cemetery, and though the older boys at first seemed inclined to herd by themselves, as if in disdain of women and small chill dren, their perfectly normal appe- tites brought them lowering round headquarters before the noon hour. MT. Barnes and Dr. Diven distin- guished themselves in making cof- fee and cooking dogs" The women declared the coffee was just as good as if they had made it themselves, and twice as strong. And the dogs" you should have seen them go!

 ADOaru Spokane

SEATTLE, July 29-When the steamer Spokane arrived in port late Friday afternoon there was much excitement at the Admiral dock. The steamer was under charter by the Western Confectioner's assocla- tion and had just completed atouf ot Southeastern Alaska. Reports had been received that when the vessel put in at Prince Rupert going north that cases of liquor were taken aboard by the truckful.
 Federal officers were on hand to greet the steamer and the raid was commenced as soon as she docked, and in many respects it was highly spectacular. A merry party was in tensely disgusted and dismayed when officers were seen on the dock. Bot ties were furiously hurled overheard from the deck and through port holes. But there was not time to dis pose of it all.
 H. F. Ridley of Boston, and M. c. Thompson of Seattle, both delegates to the convention were arrested. So also were w. P. Mclean, purser, and P. R. Gillespie, freight clerk. All four had liquor in their possession. Twenty other cases Of liquor were also seized. The greatest excite ment prevailed and scores of the del egates felt easy again after they sue ceeded in disposing of what they had in their possession before the off cers reached them. It was an un- happy ending to what all declare was a most delightful excursion trip.

Instant and hearty endorsement by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce and of the Alaska chambers of con- merce followed. Arrangements have been turned over to c. D.

Camping Down the Lid

Editorial, Des Moines Tribune)
 The New York Times displays the following item of news under a two column heading on the front page, a fact of some significance when we consider what the item of news is and the city in which it is published:
 John T. Vannata, regarded
 in Brooklyn as the king of
 bootleggers, was convicted late
 yesterday afternoon in the fed
 eral court in Brooklyn on an in
 dictment charging conspiracy
 to violate the Volstead act.
 Judge Chatfield sentenced the
 defendant to eighteen months
 in the federal prison in Atlanta
 and pay fine of $5,00O."
 Let anyone try to remember what would have been thought of liquor prosecution even five years ago in the city of New York. Nobody but a crazy man would have considered it.
 When the bootleggers begin to get a few of these year and half va cations in the federal prisons, and begin to pay a few $50OO fines and to have few big stocks of liquor confiscated, we shall be at the be- ginning of the liquor business.
 Let nobody worry because it is not all done at once. The lid is clamping down tighter and tighter.

If you feel little run down through having a cold hanging around you, dodge those morbid people who pes simistically assure you that you are looking very Ill, indeedl
 Do not talk about illness or think about 1t, but seek the companionship of cheerful, genial friends and laugh your cold away.
 Imagination plays an important part In making you i'll or well; therefore think cheerful and pleasant thoughts.
 You can throw off cold if you take 1t in time. At the first sneeze take a dose of ammoniated tincture of qui- nine, a good teaspoonful in about two thirds of a wineglassful of water
 Sweating out" a cold is another way of getting rid of 1t quickly. You should be careful, though, that you do not take a worse chill on top of 1t, as the pores of your skin are we'll open.
 The wisest way is to get into bed, roll yourself in blanket, and, be- fore going to sleep, sip-don't gulp- boiling hot lemon water or milk. If you are so disposed, little rum or whisky in the hot liquid will help.
