PHILOSOPHY.

Philosophy is good enough. when
everything is fair,
To help us see the greater plan be-
hind life's grief and care;
It's good for talking purposes when
friends drop in TO chat.
And 1t is fne to hear them say: II
never thought of that"
But when fellows in the mud, be-
yond the slightest doubt.
The best sort of philosophy Is first to
help him out.
It's fine TO fiji your pipe and smoke
and ponder various things,
To find the hidden benefit which every
burden brings:
To build your faith in what is good
and see the distant goal.
And learn that every test of care is
tonic for the soul;
But when friend is fighting hard
and being put to rout.
The best sort OF philosophy is first TO
help him out.
You take a man in trouble, doubt. or
danger. or distress.
He doesn't want lecture on his fu-
ture happiness:
When he Is up against 1t hard and
faint and failing fast,
It's no use then to call to mind the
errors of his past;
He doesn't want a moralizing, preach
ing friend about,
He desperately needs chap who'll
try to help him out.
We should be philosophical. All mer
should try TO see
The purpose back of every care anC
all that has TO be;
But many philosopher stands on th'
rivers brink
And calmly tells a drowning man tina
| he must swim or sink;
And so ! hail the willing man will
arms and muscles stout
Who finds "A man in trouble and jump
| in TO help him out.

THE COLORED VOTERS.

IN reialon TO tho meeting OF Ne |
sroes held at National Hall in this
city. Sunday afternoon. at which the
speakers denounced Representative
In Congress Caleb r. Layton and
urged the Negroes Of Delaware to
vote against him on election day, the
Morning News endeavors to show that
it was an arranged part of the Demo-
cratic State campaign. Because one
or the speakers who strongly urged
the Negroes to be independent in their
political thinking and voting As an
office holder under the Democratic
administration in New York City
which is more than he could be under
the Republican municipal administra-
ton of Wilmington--the Morning
News asserts the Democrats are try
Ing their old game OF Attempting to
undermine the colored vote In this
State and throw some OF It into the
Democratic camp"
This assumption is as false as was
the report Of this meeting printed in
tho Morning News, which mendaci-
ously misrepresented all the circum-
stances of the affair, IN a manner that
brought forth protests from those in
charge as being false from start TO
finish. unfair and slanderous."

spices Of the Democratic party. Its

r. Layton, who is held by them to
have voted in Congress against the
interests OF their race. II also Ia

CITY LEAGUERS TOl MEET TUESDAY AT
 THE LOCAL Y.M.C.A.
VanHooSe to Talk Before Amateur Officials, States
 President Harrison

City baseball league moguls hold their second meeting of the year at the Y. NJ. C. A. Tuesday night, when President James F. Harrison will call the session to order at s o'clock.
 Proxy Harrison announced last night that he is anxious for every amateur organization fn the city to have a representative at Tuesday nights meeting. as J. A. VanHoose. of this city, will be present, and will talk on greater playground develop ment. including his plan of a great municipal playground. stadium, etc. at the puresent site of Smiths park: Harrison stated that vanHoose will have something interesting to say to all amateur officials, and that the meeting will be one of the most im- portant of the year.
 From present indications, 1922 will be banner year for the local city league. President Harrison states that from IS to 24 teams will compose the Class organization, while either six or eight Class B clubs will be organized

 The moguls met last Tuesday night at the city league, and discussed the coming season. Nothing definite, as to the personnel of the league, the schedule and other matters, has been done yet, but President Harrison states that announcements concerning there issues will proabbly be made Tuesday night.

PREP LEAGUE TOI HAVE FINAL MEET ON MONDAY NIGHT
Tentative Schedule Arranged Expected to Be Adopted
 at "Y" Meeting

Representatives of local prep school teams which compose the Jefferson county baseball league this season will hold their final league meeting before the season opens at the Y. M. c. A. Monday night, at o'clock. There are several league matters to be attended to and each team entered in the circuit is urged to have its rep- resentative present on time tomorrow night.
 tentative schedule has been drawn up, and will. probably be ac- cepted at tomorrow nights meeting The season will open on April II, and continue through May 12.
 The league race this season is ex- pected to be thriller, and Jefferson county prep fans are much interested in the early training each team is going through.
 Jefferson county with Jack Clay in the box will be dangerous at all times. This little southpaw will be hard to beat
 Bessemer loses rather heavily. but should build another good outfit around Nigger Waller, who cavortS in sensational style around second base. If their twirlers can come through to take Sheridan's place, they may give a great amount Of trouble.
 Simpsons Junior Fathers should be represented by a team which will hold it's own in the loop. Hamilton and Norwood, their two star hurlers of last year, are back and the hurl- ing ought to be of high order.
 Shades Cahaba will be one of the chief contenders in all probability. Mountaineers, with siugging team last year, have most of their long, distance hitters back and will have three of the best moundsmen in the league for duty in Hall Acton and Curl.
 Little is known of the two new members of the circuit, Jones Valley and Hueytown.
 The tentative schedule to oe brought up for adoption in the meet ing of the league Monday night is as follows:
 April Il Jefferson County al Jones Valley, Simpson at Shades-Ca- haba, Bessemer at Hueytown.
 April 14.- Jones Valley at Simpson, HueytOWn at ondotS-S>dndpds Dcn . semer at Jefferson.

Wednesday afternoon the Bulldogs and Barons play return game at Redwood. This game was scheduled after the postponement of last We'd nesday's game, The Bulldogs put up good game yesterday. and will be out for revenge Wednesday after noon.
 Friday afternoon the Barons will Journey down to Tuscaloosa to take on the University Crimsons in a campus game. The local Southern leaguers no doubt still remember that defeat doled out to them by the Crimsons a couple of years ago, and will more than likely take their strong est lineup to the university.
 Saturday afternoon comes the game which local fans have been looking forward to all year, and that iS the battle between the Barons and Alabama Crimsons at Redwood park. After playing at the University Fri day. the Southern leaguers and col legians beat it back to Birmingham for clash on the Barons' home lot.
 A strenuous week seems ahead of the Barons, with these three games on schedule, and with work in large quantities to be given out by Shutter Matthews in between times.
 With Robertson, Silva, Harper and one or two more additions to the squad expected the first of the week, the Baron bosses should be able to place strong lineup on the fled in this weeks practice games.
 By time for the game with the crimsons at Redwood Saturday, the Paronial lineup should have begun to take form, and the team to start the season on April 13 will probably hot be far different from the one to lace the University clan this week.

By DUKE MERRITT

University March J. With week of weather to gladden. the heart of any fan. Dr. Charles A.. Berniers patients are improving rapidly, and by the time set for them to appear on the diamond against the Birmingham .Barons Friday, they should be well on the way to health
 The thing that has caused more joy than anything else in the baseball factory Is the marked improvement in the infield Lulu" Gazzolo of basketball fame, who was shifted from his original position behind the pan to the first cushion, is promising to develop into a great first sacker He is sure death on the pops and pips, but has not quite mastered the art of gobbling the hops and skips that the pill takes while cavorting on the ground. His pegs across the diamond to third, to second and to the platter are a revelation, and with his ideal build. Coach Bernier's hair seems slated to return to normalcy.
 Green Persistent
 At second, Rat Green still resists any efforts to lure him away. and has about distanced his opponents. The return of Shorty Davis from his home, where he has been i'll with flu, has strengthened the shortstop post. He patroled this position for the first time Friday afternoon, and. though still weak, he acquitted him self with two hits and some nice fielding-quite stunt for sick man. Third will probably again he inhabited by Captain Hall, if Davis comes through as expected at short. This third base then lies between Peters Pitts and Captain Hall. Both are consistent fielders and good hit ters, so the identity of the winner is obscure. The one who is not used as a regular will be retained as utility man.
 Hubert Eligible
 Behind the bat. Dame Fortune has again smiled. The faculty has ruled Papa" Hubert eligible to play since he has made up some work, and along with Pat Cruise and Roy May hall, Bama has three catchers that would credit any catching staff in the south. The odds, however. seem to favor Hubert slight bit, be- cause of his advantage in size. They will all be needed and used before the season is over, however. This

Barnes and Hutchison Trauel 10000 Miles
 On Winter Golf Tour

Chicago, March 1S.-James Barnes of New York, naional open golf cham pion, and Jock Hutchison of Chicago, British title holder, covered more than 10000 miles during their winter golf tour which ended with their return to Chicago yesterday. They played in 40 matches and tournaments In cities on the Pacific coast and along the gulf coast, winning most of the en- counters of the links, setting a mum Der of course records and bagging two champiDnships
 Barnes won the California open championship and Hutchison took the northern California title. They did not do so well on Texas and Louisiana links, apparently, they said, because they were somewhat stale from pro- longed and continuous golfing with many nights spent on trains. Every where in the west and south the champions found golf booming.
 After a weeks rest. Barnes and Hutchison will go to Pinehurst for the north and south open champion ship, Hutchison to defend the title. Hutchison has not decided whether he will return to England to try to re- tain his British crown.

RTS BARONS IA VE THREE GAMES FOR THIS WEEK SPORTS
Mike Gibbons Points Out Mistakes
 Made by Tom Tn His Bout With Greb

St. Paul, Minn., March 1S.-Tom Gibbons. who built up string of a score of knockouts in his quest of the heavyweight pugilistic championship only to be outpoint- ed a few days ago by Harry Greb, the Pittsburg rubber ball. cannot punch any harder than he ever could, and has been ruined as a superb boxer, temporarily at least. So says his brother. the famous Phantom Mike, according to news dispatches from Grand Forks, N. D.
 ''I feel sorry for Tom" Mike said But it was his own fault. Tom has fallen into the same rut that has been the downfall of many other great boxers. He thought he could hit, and he knocked out a couple of dozen of big. slow fellows. which got him quite a standing in the pugilistic world. but 1t has ruined him as a boxer.
 Tom now neglects to apply himself properly. When training
