PRIZES AWARDED TO
THE LOCAL PLAYERS
Contest Ends In Victory For
Timon Lodge Players By
6-5 Score
lBY Fred Hayes)

In past engagements the keenest
kind of rivalry has existed between
the local Knights of Pythias diamond
performers and the nine representing
the X. of p. lodge, No. 13, of Newark.
Whenever these two rivals tangled
you could just about put it down as
a safe bet that a stirring battle
would follow.
For the first time this season, Satur-
day afternoon at Athletic park, the
Pythjan forces OF Mt Vernon and
Newark locked horns in mortal COM
bat. And II the ensuing grapple was
an exception to the hard fought skir-
mshes of other days between the
Knox and Licking county entries, 1t
wasn't so glaringly apparent that the
home rooters could notice it.
In fact it proved to be hotter con-
tested struggle than any of the by
gone frolics. This time the opposing
outfits couldn't settle their differences
in q regulation affair, but had TO car
nv il into the twelfth inning to decide
who was to survive as the ultimate
winner.
Putting II briefly in the words OF
Mr.. General Opinion, 1t was some
game The kind one always wishes
to see but seldom does, 1t was de-
cidedly interesting throughout - al
ways toss.up as to the probable out
come.
The final verdict, 6 to s, was award
ed the home platoon, as result OF an
uncommon situation that arose in the
last. half of the twelfth, and let the
winning Mt. Vernon tally trickle
across the rubber.

For the local X. of p. twirler, Davy

has ever turned in. Only three earn.

the third he robbed ID. Jones of a safe
hit when he raced to his left and
scooped up Jones's hot grounder with
his gloved hand, throwing the latter
out. A couple of innings later by the
identical procedure, he snatched a
fast hopper off the bat of Tanner for
another out.

MRS JOHN NJ. TrNsLEY

Funeral services for Mrs. John

Sunday afternoon, we're held at the

Before an assembly of friends
that filled the church and overhowed

of the Methodist Church, paid beau
tiful tribute to the memory of one
Of the most beloved women of the
city. During the service, which con-
sisted of her favorite songs, beauti-
fully rendered by the choir in which
she had sung for many years, and
passaes of scripture and poems
which she had selected for the oc-

altar which was banked with ferns
The front of the church was filled
with the floral offerings-beautiful
tokens of the love and esteem in
which she was held by her friends
and the organizations of which she
was valued member.
Mrs. Tinsley was a member of the
Christian Church for forty-three
years and was for thirty-fve years
a teacher in the Sunday School. Re-
ferring to her love for the church,
Rev. Ford said that, Endowed with
rare natural charm and gracious

another indefnable radiance that
shone from a resplendent faith, and
that bespoke a soul constantly
bathed in the light of Gods pres

CONGRESSMAN RoBsIoN
Fresh Honors To 11th District

Not even the most optimistic Re
publican will claim that the party
has much cause for jubilation over
the result OF the election. The gen.
tie voters displayed a disposition to
hammer the elephant into the jun
giles OF minority and, while they did
not succeed entirely, they have left
him somewhat dazed and shaken.
He is tough old critter, however,
and really has millions of friends
who would prefer to feed him pop
corn rather than beat him around.
They have made a goat of the ele-
phant for the sins of others, as we'll
as for his own sins, which, while not
quite fair, is awfully human. on the
same principle that some people will
kick at an unoffending object when
they cannot reach the thing they
wish to kick.
However, it's an Ill wind that
blows nowhere, and out of his cor
ner the elephant has lifted his some
what sore trunk and has presented
to Congressman j. M. Robsion the
craftsmanship of at least two impor-
tant committees: Roads and Post
Offices, and also of Pensions, this
being the first time the 18th Dis
trict has ever enjoyed this distinc-
tion. We offer our congratulations
to both Mr.. Robsion and his dis
trict. There has been much bosh
and buncombe repeated about him,
but the fact remains that he has
worked hard for us in this district
and none could have done more,
while few could have done as well.
He has brains. character and de-
cency as assets and he works for
his constituents.
Let us remember this to his ere
dit. One good turn deserves an
other and he has done many for us.
While he doubtless has his faults.
J. M. Robsion is not two-faced, nor
will he stab one in the back. What
he says is for the whole world to
hear.
In other words, the 18th District
has real man for Congressman.

TOO MANY CHURCHES?

We are often told by those who
attend churches and by those who
do not that there are too many
churches. They are said to cost too
much and people do not attend as
they should.
The function of church, as we
understand 1t, is to not only prepare
humanity for the next world, but to
inculcate the principles of decency
and right living into our lives. We
have in Barbourville three full
time ministers who work for the
public good and several other min
listers thruout the county whose
work is either unpaid, or whose pay
is so small as to be negligible. These
men teach the ethics embraced in
the Ten Commandments, which real
ly mean ones duty toward God and
to ones neighbor. They hold up
also the life of Christ for men to
see and follow. In other words, they
teach the beauty of human law and
the gospel. No small job, we must
admit.
Against them are set the criminal
the courts which do their duty, hon
estly in the sight of God and man.
Aainst them are set the criminal
element, the men who protect the
criminals by lies, sophistry or double
dealing, some of whom cover them
selves with the mantle of respecta-
bility which the church affords, and
also. the Indifferent or those who
get their thrill from acts of crime
men facing both ways.
When one considers the forces of
evil abroad in the land, the wicked
ness of criminals and so called
christian men who, for filthy lucre,
betray the Christ whom they profess
to follow and the Indifference of
those who make of crime a mental
movie picture show, and the enor-
nous cost of fighting or protecting
evil as against the trifling sum ex,
pended for church work, one is COM
PEELED to decide that it is not a ques-
tion of there being too many, but
too few churches.
The fact, too, that men remain as
Inherently decent as they do, is a
proof that the upheld Cross is a
greater force than the combined
forces of evil even tho it is so numer
ically and financially weak in COM
parison.
God is still in his world with His
Church and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it.
Good roads mean better schools.

STARTLING RAILROAD FIGURES

In an article from the Railway
Age we give some startling figures
in regard to railroad rolling stock.
Read it and then use your influence
to bring about conditions which, in
turn, will mean greater prosperity.
Red tape and politics are bane to
big business. No one objects to the
protection of the public but railways
should not be shackled by unneces-
ssary expense for useless clerical
work or by the interference of gov
ernmental officials whose lack OF
railroad knowledge would make a
large library. Let the railroads
grow. They are the biggest asset
we have.
