A review Of the great record of
the Oglethorpe baseball team for
the season of 1924 brings to light
the fact that the Petrels amassed
a surprisingly large number of
tallies behind exceptionally good
hurting. The spectacular Petrels
played a total of % games for the
season and in these battles they
managed to shove across an aver
age of 7.6 runs per game while the
Oglethorpe pitchers held the oppo-
sition to slightly less, than half
that number. Hitting and pitch
ing combined in the right proper
tions are productive of baseball
victories and the Petrels won quite
a few games this year on that for
mula.
Averages for the season show
that the PetrelS cracked the old
apple for a team average of 308.
This hitting brought the Petrels
victory in 20. out of % games and
only one southern team was able
to dust off the Oglethorpians and
that game was lost by a one-run
margin. However, the Petrels
evened things with the Bulldogs
by coping the second battle by a
rather impressive score, the count
being s to l.
The Oglethorpe team was led in
hitting by the phenomenal Jay
Partridge, who ended the season
with the fine mark Of Al. In ad
dition to leading the team in bat
ting, Jay led in the number oil
runs scored, stole an even dozer
bases, collected three home runs
one with the bases loaded; drove
out two triples and two doubles
and played brilliant game at the
keystone. He was a great stal
from the first game to the last.
Partridge's High Mark
The high mark of Al set by
Partridge tops any record that al
Oglethorpe player has yet ended
the season with. At the beginning
of the practice season it was tn
brilliant fielding of Partridge tina
created so much comment. Grace
speed, and accuracy were IN HI
every movement and although
there were many to predict tina
he would end the season with
fine batting average there wer
none to predict that he would racl
up the highest average ever Sc
by a Petrol star. He is not tn
slugger type of hitter but he oftel
resorts to bunts to gain him SAT
knocks and then when necessar,
he can crack them out with tn
best of them. If there is any MAJ
lwho deserves all southern tina
man is Jay Partridge.
Another man of great value t
the team was Jake Morris. Jak
WAS used in the outfeld. the in

.China's Favorite Gem.

Jade is not usually counted among
the precious stones. yet to the Chi
nese and Japanese It is the most val
uable of all gems-ia fact. they meas
ure the value OF all other stones in
terms of jade. The Chinese say jade
is a combination of the five cardinal
virtues-Jin, charity; Gi. modesty;
Yu, courage; ketsu, justice, and Chi,
wisdom. They carve il most exqui-
sitely In: elaborate and fragile de-
signs for IL Is, no harder than ordi-
nary glass and so is not difficult to
work upon. 1t is frequently used for
carvings Of the figures of the Chinese
gods. *. ....
Jade includes two stones which are
very similar in appearance, green
stone and iadeite. Both are fibrous
and tough and greenish. Greensboro.
or nephrite as it is usually called, is
the more common and less valuable
OF the two. when examined under
the microscope It is found to be made
of a great many hard fibers closely
matted together. The color varies
from a sort of gray to leaf and dark
green, the color being darker when
iron. which is one of the minerals in
il. is present in a large quantity.
Jadeite is much more highly priced

So Pop Turtle had starved himself
slowly for the best part of the week
preceding the party, and now he
was hungry enough, almost, to eat
ten-pcnny nails. .sf
Ma Turtle herself had lived for a
week on weak tea and soda biscuits
and she also was pretty, keen about
the refreshments feature.
The party rolled along right mer-
rily. There was music furnished by
a hired cricket band; then they all
played cribbage and mah-j -jong, and
after that the frog footmen served
some tiny cups Of very weak. pink
ish tea, with a tiny wafer on each
plate. = =,
Pop Turtle devoured a handful Of
the tiny waters and gulped down the
thimbleful of tea Then he looked
around like a wolf in a cabaret
After that the folks all got their
wraps on, shook hands with the
Diamond-Backs and went off home-
ward.

through the mud for a long time
without speaking. Finally Pop Tur-

RINGGOLD.

SOuRcE-A locality.

SOOH(E-H
Hero is a family name calculated
to throw you on the wrong track
at once Superficial consideration
would classify It as probably Of
Anglo-Saxon or general Teutonic
origin, a combination OF the two
words which have given US our mod
ern words ring" and gold" and the
former of which was used in very
early Saxon days 10 mean money"
(rings being used then as currency.
But the surname OF 'Ring-gold"
has nothing to do either with "rin ."
or gold" 1t was not originally an
English or Teutonic word. 1t was
Cymric or Welsh. Nor did 1t desig-
nate any kind of article. but rather
q kind OF place or locality.
"Rhyngol," the older form, had the
same meaning as the Anglo-Saxon
word "clifT'-that is. either a steep
bank or a cleft through high ground.
And SO as a family name II has the
same meaning and is, In fact. the
Welsh counterpart OF such names as
Cliff and Cleve.
OF course, in it's first use as a
surname, it's descriptive use, it was
preceded by a prefix meaning at"
''or'' or from" in exactly the same
~manner that the earliest forms of
the name Cliff are found with a pre-
fixed ''atte" rat the") or de la"
cot the"t, showing conclusively its
origin as indicating the place OF resi-
dence of the first bearers

The mullins were done to golden
brown when the doorbell rang. Beth
poured the chocolate and put a plate
of her popovers on the tea table in
the library while Mr.. Millet took OF
his coat in the hall. Then she crept
away to the kitchen to wash the
muffin pans.
Mullins with raisins" exclaimed
the artist as Mrs. Parker served him.
And hot besides! Really, they are
excellent" He drank his chocolate
with relish. "And who is it that is
such a fine cook?''
MY daughter Beth" smiled Mrs.
Parker.
Then will she not come in and re-
ceive my compliments?"
Beth was so surprised to be called
in before the company that she for
got to take off her apron. But the
artist seemed to be only more de-
lighted than ever. The sincerity of
his praise was proved by the way
he allowed his plate to be replenished
with mullins and jam. Ruth fingered
her portfolio nervously, but decided
not to mention her work until he
called for it. Finally, when the last
muffin was gone, the man sat back
In his chair and looked sreious.
You have a talented daughter,
Mrs. Parker" he began.
I'VE always felt that Ruth had
considerable ability" rejoined the
mother.
Ruth? All, yes, the one who is
going TO show me her PORTFOLIO" He
reached for the drawings, gIancing
quickly through the lot. Il was
thinking, when I spoke, of Beth. who
provided the refreshments Now
these drawings show promise and I
might take Ruth as a pupil They
are fairly good sketches, but" his
eye fell on the crumbs on the muffin
plate and he pounded his chair arm
in emphasis, Those were the best
muffins I ever ate!"

T HE Diamond-Backed family Of
Tcrrapins had been spending
their summers at a fashion
able mud bank where all the
Hard-shelled Crabs congregated dur
ing the molting season.
Every time the Diamond-Backsr re-
turned from the mud banks, they in
troduced novelties at the Big Pond.
The first summer they came back,
they began using napkins and hand
kerchiefs--an unheard-of novelty in
that section. The next summer 1t
was bath tubs and finger bowls; and
the third summer they, exchanged
their old Chippendale furniture for
heavy pieces in the Jacobin style,
and the old haircloth settee gave
place to a straightforward piece af-
ter the Tudor fashion.
Ma and Pop Turtle looked on at
all this and allowed that they didn't
know what the World was coming
to-; and Aunt Jemima Swapping
Turtle said the Diamond-Backs al
ways had been a proud, naughty
set Of snobs and imitators, anyhow.
and didn't deserve to have no notice
taken Of 'em anyways. After which,
Aunt Jemima went over to a neigh
boris house and got an exact inven-
tory OF all the latest Jacobin and
Tudor pieces, with a description OF a
wonderful new box that made music
thrown into the bargain.
After while the Diamond-Backs
returned from the Mud Bank after
their fourth annual outing, and then

No name could be more false and
misleading.
The thought which refuses to go
the thought which has no explana-
tion for our deepest affections. our
most ardent longings. our loftiest as
pirations, except to say that they are
dreams and illusions; the thought
which has nothing to say about the.
origin of our spiritual nature and no
answer to give to our burning Ques-
tions about the eternal future, the
thought which knows no more of

It is captive thought. enslaved

He has seen it: He is sure of its
reality; He testifies of that which He
has seen and speaks of that which
He knows.
He bids US trust our spiritual in
stincts even more than we trust our
senses.
He assures US that the hunger and
thirst after righteousness is a prophecy
that the soul shall be filed, that purity
of heart is a pledge that he shall see
God
He does not give US a definition of
God.
Definitions are limitations.
He gives US a vision Of God.
Vision is liberation.

ones for wear with white shoes. This
