IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Mrs. Carrie Mitchell
who passed away one year ago,
Dec. 30, 1915
Gone is the face we loved to see;
That bright cheerful smile that
never will be
Your patience, your suffering

illness
We will remember your deter
mined will
So strong, but yet tender;
Rest on dear mother in our
Saviour's breast
We wanted you and loved you,
but God loved you best
Sadly missed by;
Mrs. Lula Hollis, Mrs. Amy
Foster, daughters, and Mrs

Hickey To Give
Robinson Chance
10 Become Dodger

Whether Jackie Robinson, first
Negro in organized baseball
makes good with the Brooklyn
Dodgers or not, his break" is not
an accident but definite nlar
engineered by Branch Hickey,
Brooklyn owner, according to the
current SPORT magazine.
Hickey decided that abolition
of the color line in baseball was
inevitable, according to SPORT
so he sent three top scouts scour-
ing the Negro leagues, When
they came up with Robinson as
potential big league timber,
Hickey assigned the Negro star
to the Dodgers Montreal farm
team in the international League
for a final test.
What Robinson did in Montreal
made baseball history last season,
He led the league in batting with
a mark Of .349, highest average
ever compiled by a Montreal
player. He stole 40 bases ana
made only II errors playing sec
ond base and shortstop. When
Montreal won the Little World
Series" from Louisville, Montreal
rooters carried Robinson, with
tears streaming down his face,
around the field in jubilation.
