 Eagles Win Again
 Better team work enabled the Eagles to defeat the Falcons in the City league Saturday night by the score of 2e to 23 in what undoubted- ly was the best played, closest and most exciting game in this circuit this season. Lack of a smooth working offensive and an inability to locate the basket cost the Falcons the game. On the defensive, however. they showed up very well and four baskets, drop- ped in by Schultz. was the most any Eagle got.
 Tobin Officiates
 John Tobin, a central board official acted as referee and his work was fine. He kept the teams going at top speed, enforced the rules on rough ness and other important regulations that go for better and faster basket ball, and made the boys toe the mark. This resulted in an exciting game which pleased the fans. Ten personal fouls called on the Eagles and eight on the Falcons shows that each team was going at break-neck speed throughout.
 Eagles Score First
 The game started off fast and there were four minutes of scrimmaging before the first tally was made. Then Schultz got loose under the Falcons basket and hooked in a net swisher that counted two. A couple of min- utes later his running mate, Swanson. Topped one through for two more and 1t began to look like runaway for the Eagles. Efficient guarding by the

Taylor Badly Whipped.

Taylor pressed the action in the fight Friday night and had big lead in points when Jerome opened up in the ninth. The Bronx boys efforts were unavaiiing. however. for he went down in the eleventh and was saved from a knockout by the bell. Taylor battered his body as the twelfth opened and Jerome sank to the floor, rolling towards the ropes to assist himself to his feet The ref cree stopped the fight giving Taylor q technical knockout
 Jerome had to be carried to his dressing room and did not regain consciousness for ten minutes. As soon as he did he was hurried to| Bellevue in a taxicab and his wife and mother who lived with him hur- ried to his side. His case first was di@Snnzad as ovsr-exhaustion.

 Football? What? Yes. The first game of 1924 in this section of the country was played in Meriden yester. day when the Pawnees defeated the New Britain Owls 12 to 0. Restelli showed up well Saturday night and his playing should strength en the locals considerably. The New Britain team goes to Hartford tomorrow night to try and wipe out the defeat handed them by the Kaceys.
 The Falcons will play in Bristol on Friday night. the game being sched- uled for the Red Mems hall. Dundee has been guaranteed $15,000 for his fight in Panama City with Lombardo, the unknown boxer.

of an agriculturist as the growing season of crops finds him engaged elsewhere and otherwise. His Sudbury farm contains GO acres of woodland, and it is against this that the Babe directs his efforts. He estimates the timber on his property at about 30O,- 900 feet, and he swings his southpaw axe daily during his sojourn here. This winter he has varied the pro- gram by assisting In the building of several chicken houses, intending to branch out on a large scale in the chicken.raising industry.
 Ruth swings at tree with much the same wholehearted energy he dis plays in driving at a baseball. His blows meet with somewhat more re- sistance but there is the compensating advantage that he is allowed more chances at the tree.
 His Sudbury neighbors regard Ruth as faithful worker, but have not grown intimate with him. The Babe does not pretend to be at his best as Q conyersationslist, but he Is well liked here. In adjoining towns the fact that a baseball star of the first magnitude resides in their midst does not seem to be known to the entire populace. A Newton policeman who arrested Ruth for speeding some weeks ago thought his captive prize- fighter. The Babes automobile gets him into trouble from time to time, but never in Sudbury, where the reads are not adapted to speeding.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

"This cold exacting world is ask
ing, who are these assembled on this
hallowed occasion and what right
have you here? To this may we
answer that we are the seions and
fellow-sufferers of noble fathers who
counted not their lives dear to them
selves. but made the supreme sacri-
fee under God that day of greater
glory might break on us, and wreath
creation with a sacred aurora blessed
and divine AS we contemplate this
forward step today, methinks hear
q score of voices from our noble
dead who despite records of their
death, are yet alive, crying when
You go take our bones with you and
tell our progeny how nobly we
wrought for them and how upon the
altar of God we laid down all and
flung our lives into the very teeth
of grim death that the souls Of
black men, too, might be awakened
and prepared for battle.

A POWERFUL APPEAL.

Just two years removed from
slavery, when the roar of cannon and
the clash of arms had scarcely died
away, when the bruised marks Of
the masters lash had not yet disap-
peared, when many Of our eHmasters
sought to reduce us to another order
of slavery, when our literacy was at
the low tide Of probably two per
cent, before our institutional and
business careers had begun, the seers
Of God saw for us not far removed,
a better day and by faith and toll

LIKE A MIGHTY ARCHITECT.

Before we can do anything sue
cessfully we must be the architect
of the situation and like mighty
architect, must see and be able to
put into blue print everything In the
building. This is the concrete idea
that should characterize every true
laborer of the Lord, see the field,
lift up his eyes above the horizon,
of selfish surroundings and material
benefit, for my meat is not OF this
world says the Master.
GAS you see you go; as you see,
you labor; as you see, so you sacri-
fee; as your vision, so your courage
All the great missionary work is
enclosed in spirit of vision. We
must have large spiritual vision in
order to grasp the larger things fol

spirit Of Jesus"

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.
FINDING ourselves beset on every
side by a stronger race, our weak
ness formed a striking contrast with
that giant race, which few hours
before held it's great foot fast upon
our necks. The height looked dizzy
distant and dangerous; but we heard
a voice sweeter to the soul than the
vibrating sounds of an eolian harp,
crying. Black Man! l say unto you.
arise and climb We were dazed by
the dazzling light and confused by
this voice; but we soon decided that
the voice that called was divine and
He who called would give triumph
to the struggles.
EVANGELISM NOT SUFFICIENT,
These great men of God soon
found that evangelism alone was not
sufficient to save the millions OF
souls from the coveting claws OF
demons. Evangelical souls had to
be cultured, character formed and
mind developed that the Kingdom
might have an advocate that hell
with all of it's treachery could not
cover or conquer. They stood as
grasshoppers at the foot OF a giant
mountain with their much coveted
goal on the opposite side. AS black
men of Tutankhamen time forced
their slaves to make brick without
straw in keeping with the law OF
retributive justice, these men had &c
build homes, churches and schools
! without money. While they stood
in bewilderment at the foot of this
giant mountain obstructing the1l
pathway, they bethought themselves
as grasshoppers until Jehovah calico
from heaven and said, Black Man
out of the same blood, I made al
nations and I made them men, anc
| commanded them to go forth ant
