Baptist Convention
Coming to Bogalusa

From the cities and towns, hills
and countryside, all over Louisiana,
there viii lbe coming to Bogalusa sew
eral hundred Baptist people to at
tend the State Baptist Convention
which convenes here on December s,
and Z.
We are told that it is customary
IN other parts of the state to enter
tain the visiting messengers BY fur
nlshing bed and breakfas free. It is
sometimes called the Harvard plan.
This convention met at Shreveport
last year and the delegates from Be-
lusa ran hot race with Monroe for
this years meet. A liberal supply Of
advertising matter about Bogalusa
was furnished by the Great Southern
Lumber Company and together with
the enthusiasm of the Bogalusa dele
gates succeeded in convincing the
convention that Bogalusa was alive,
we'll able and willing to entertain the
convention for the meeting in 1922.
There will be many prominent
Louisianians here in attendance, and
the citizens of Bogalusa, no doubt,
true to her custom, will care for our
visitors in the hearty Bogalusa style.
To provide beds for four or five
hundred people will require that our
people give the matter thought and
attention, as they no doubt will. The
entertainment committee, of which
W. E. Grain is chairman, has not an
nounced its plans as yet, but will do
so soon, and when it does, there is no
doubt but that it will receive hearty
cooperation.
Then there will be coming up the
question Of transportation. This
problem can be easily solved if every
one with a car, as they go back and
forth over the city, will keep their
eyes open for an opportunity to
serve.

Go Down 12-Foot Embark
ment; All Escape Injury

A horse pulling buggy which con-
tanned woman and three children,
one babe in arms, became fright
ened in front of Anderson's store at
the foot of the Columbia. street bridge
and backed down a 12-foot embank-
ment about 1870 Tuesday afternoon
while a number Of men stood by help

without turning oyer and the horse
was caught before he started to run.
Itaseemed a miracle to the specta-

cupants seriously injured. The names
Of the occupants of the buggy could
not be learned.

Next Tuesday
Is Election Day

On next Tuesday the election of
congressman, judges and city Off
Gals will be held. While there is
very little interest in the South in
this election day, due to the fact that
the candidates whose names appear
on he ticket were selected as the
Democratic nominees at recent pri-
maries, and there is no opposition.
Throughout states in other sections
Of the country, however, excitement
is at fever heat. In Ohio there is a
big fight on between the "wets" and
"drys," while in almost every congress
sional district in the United States
there is a hot contest on.

Pittsburgh Pirates in the National

their fifth straight victory and kept

u. S. Needs To Look For
NeW, Young I ennis Material

America needs to look more than
one or two years ahead to preserve
the present unparalleled supremacy in
all sports. Uncle Sam is riding nicely
now on the crest of a wave that covers
practically every international sport
Glory of the past is not sufficient foun-
dation for success in the future. One
of the things that America must do
to preserve the Davis Cup tennis tro-
ply for any length of time is to de-
velop a good doubles team. The vic
tory of Gerald Patterson and Pat
O'Hara Wood in the double contest of
the recent Davis Cup matches proved
that America needs a better working
team 1t is not fair to lead the infer
ence, however, that the Australian won
the doubles because the American op-
position was poor. Many critics be
lieve that Patterson and Wood could
have defeated any doubles pair in the
world with the game they played in
that contest.

EARLHAM WARRIORS
GIVEN HARD DRILL.

Earlham grid warriors received a
thorough workout on Reid field Sat
urday morning, consisting of scrim-
mage. signal drill, and practice in
blocking ana tackling. Although the
squad has plenty of weight it is some
what lacking in experience. For this
reason scrimmage has been held back
IN order that the new material might
master the fundanentals of the game.
With the large percentage of exper-
Fenced material the influence of such,
old heads as Captain Al Carter and
Colby Hinshaw will be keenly felt.
This is Carriers fourth year of varsity
football and he has proved himself
an Invaluable man behind the line.
Hlnshaw is also a heady player with
three seasons behind him. He was
captain last year. Although lookout
and Morris, star ends of last year will
both be missed a number of men are
showing up well 70 rthe position.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23 - Tyrus Ray

ed with that coveted honor this year.
The Detroit veteran, in his fight to
overtake George Sisler of the Browns.
today is just 81 points behind the St
Louis star, but with Sisler injured 1t is
uncertain a sto just how much more
baseball can be played this season.
Cobb has a chance to pass him
and Sisler is unable to continue his
normal place.
Sisters average including games of
Wednesday, is .43S compared with a
mark of 424 week ago, falling OF
of six points. Cobb is collecting hits
to the tune of .391 and is displaying
no indications of slowing up as the
clubs swing into the final stretch OF
the race. But Sisters heart and soul i3
in baseball. and it is almost an impos-
sibility to keep him out of the game,
despite physicians orders. He insists
upon getting into his uniform, even
although he does not get into the line
up, so that he may be ready to taka
a crack at the ball when called as
pinch hitter This absence from the
game may help the Georgia Peach
in his quest for the batting honors.
Leads Every Year
Cobb led the American League every
year from 1907, with the exception o.
in 1916 when iris Speaker, Of the In
dams took the honors and in 1920
| when Sisler was crowned king, ana
last season when Harry Heilman Of

rival, Kenneth Williams, a teammate.
Williams bagged a brace of home
runs during the past week and is tiec
