You never can find your ball

The tiny pitcher, IL seems, desires
more money. word comes from his
home in Paris, Tex. that he has
received a second contract which
was not to his liking and he hest
tated about affixing his signature.
Kerr was a holdout once before, but
eventually came to terms with tho
White Sox proprietor.
1t would have been much better
had Kerr reported promptly. Al
though he packs no superf1uous
weight, he is a slow starter. Last
year he was Of little service in the
early part Of the season, but when
the weather grew hot he blossQmed
forth as hurler of merit. This
seems strange in a young man, but

Tho Hoya," Georgetown's student
publication, came to the front with
q suggestion that the Hilltoppers go
out after track honors this season.
He pointed out that Georgetown al
ready possessed an intercollegiate
mile champion, an intercollegiate
pentathlon champion, and a few
Junior titleholders and that it WAS
high time that premier honors in the
track world be sought for the blue
and gray.
From indications 1t is apparent
e vat the Hilltoppers are going after
kck honors most seriously and in
tdition. that there is ample reason
Aor assuming that a real mark can
Be made in the college world.

whole track team to the tntercol-
iegiates. II Saturday nights per.

F. E. TWITTY URGES BETTER
ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS

Without exception every person who
has attended any of the meetings and
from whom have heard an expression
has stated that the sermons being
preached are able, instructive and in
teresting, and they will be immensely
helpful to the entire community if our
people would only give that cooper
alton In this vastly important feature
of our community life that they do to
movements for our material welfare
The services will only continue
through Sunday, only three more days
including today, as there will be no
meetings on Saturday This is an ap-
peal to all our people to do better
during these three days than they
have been doing Dr.. Lane will preach
most helpful and interesting sermons
at 10:30 a. M, and 730 p. M, at the
First Methodist, and at the same hour
DR.. Roberts will preach splendid. SER
mons at the First Baptist. He will
preach tonight on one of the most
interesting of all subjects, on Moses
the great lawgiver of Iseral.

Brunswick has now within her gates
two visiting ministers who are among
the best preachers in Georgia. They
are here to o"break the bread of
life' to our pople. l refer to DR..
Charles A. Lane, preaching twice
daily at the First Methodist church,
and to DR.. L. E. Roberts who is preach
ing at the First Baptist church. When
the laymen of the different churches
that agreed to participate suggested
this series of meetings they realized
that Brunswick, like all cities and
communities, greatly needed a spirit
ual revival, and we hope that some
how our people would enter whole
heatedly into the spirit of the oc-
casion, and rally to the support of the
pastors and churches in this great
movement, but in this way have been
disappointed. For week one of the
strongest preachers in the Presbyteri-
an denomination, DR.. Cleveland, of
Jacksonville, was preaching at our
