Everyone in the State is wonder
ing how Duke will come out in base

in many cases two who run close to
filling the same position. Robershaw
and Kersey will probably play short
and second. Combs foremost slab ar
lists are Duffy and McKetihan. Mc
Keithan was a mound star for the
Blue Devils last year and he is show

Scouts Have Hard Luck
We have heard of the meanest man
in the world. Along with the man
who stole the blind man's money, the
t allow who choked a baby, another
fellow who put a nickle in the collec
tion plate and grabbed a dollar’s
change—down in history with all of
theae goes the meanest man in the
world, the one who stole the Boy
Scouts logs.
The Scouts have been working for
the past throe months cutting and
sawing logs to build their cabin up
at the new dam site. After they get
all the logs cut, along comes some
bird and steals the logs. Won’t
somebody wish the Scouts good luck
with their new venture. They have
patiently gone out and cut sixty more
logs. But we want to nominate this
above mentioned gent for the title
of the world’s meanest man.
