Then Comes Memphis


 Following the quintet of pro grams with the Kidders, the Memphis Chicks will move in here for two games to close out the week and will also pastime at Redwood next Monday and Tuesday. As the Chicks move In the supreme test continues. Spencer Abbott's ball club is rounding into something like the machine that he put forth last summer and won the pennant with. To be sure Abbott hasn't the powerful wrecking crew which drove several pitchers to the brink of suicide last season, but the way his ball club treated the dreaded and dreadful Mobile Bears was proof enough that Memphis should bear watching for the rest of the stretch.
 The rough treatment received at the hands of the Chicks by the Bears convinced local fans that Moley and his men would reach tough sledding when Mem phis arrived. There's one thing Moley has, however. which Mo- bile lacked. He has an assort- tnent of pitchers who should be able to hold the scores down. These pitchers haven't looked like world-beaters the past week or so, but they have the stuff and if they settle down to nor maley they should be able to hold both the Little Rock and Memphis hitters in check.
 Home Stay Is Nearing End
 The Baronial home stay Is reaching it's flag end, only two more series being booked for the Wood" before the locals hit the road for a nice lengthy jaunt. The home stay comes to a close Tuesday week, when the final game with Memphis will be staged.
 Following that the Barons hop off on a tour that will carry them into July They will come back home only one day ahead Of July 4 During that time they will invade Atlanta, Mobile and New Orleans.
 Moley has pretty stiff sched- ule cut out for him if he is to live up to my prediction that the Barons would leave home in first

these columns the title of the pro-
perty on Brunswick avenue known as
the Grand Army haN, has been trans
ferred to the Benjamin E. Smith
Post, American Legion. During the
past few years the upkeep of the hall
has been a drag on the few remain
ing members of the Heath Post, G. a.
r. and it was deemed advisable to
place 1t in the hands Of some of the
other patriotic orders Of the city.
The American Legion would seem to
most to be the logical successors and
this was evidently the opinion of a
majority of the members, though
minority. it is said desired the pro-
perry to go to the Pell Clason Camp,

made to have the Legion boys take
formal possession of the building on
Armistice Day, Nov. II.
The building was erected by the
Gardiner Village Baptist church,

"The Rising Tide Of Color"

The lecture of I.othrop Stoddard
which is to open the Citizens Course
on Nov :}rd at the high school audi
torium, is entitled The Rising Tide
of Color
Following Mr. Stoddard's post
graduate work at Harvard college he
his extensive research
work on contemporary world affairs
and future tendencies. 1t is not sur
prising that his recent book. THE
Rising Tide of Color" became one of
the most widely read and most wide
ly discussed book of the past year.
Pres. Harding has this to say Of it,
whoever will take the time to read
and ponder Lothrop Stoddard's book
on the Rising Tide of Color" must
realize that our race problem here in
the United States is only a phase u.
a race issue that the whole world
confronts. Surely we shall gain moth
ing by blinking at the facts, by re-
fusing to give thought to them. That
is not the American way OF APP
preaching such issues"
Mr.. Stoddard is an intensely inter-
esting speaker, not only because of
the vital matter which he discusses.
but also because he has an excellent
stage presence and good speaking
voice. He believes that RACES don't
mix-that they kill each other. He
believes that the White world now
stands at the crossroads of life and
death. and that the greatest enemy
to peace is mot the eagle of pride
or the vulture of greed, but the
stock: "that the war has enhanced
the danger of and the necessity for
colored migration.
