And, the way to prove that
statement is to compare Camels
puff-by-puff with any cigarette in
the world!
Camels have a mild mellowness that
is as new to you as it is delightful.
Yet, that desirable “body” is all there!
They are always refreshing—they!
never tire your taste.
Camels leave no unpleasant cigaretty

fast Dallas organization, the
Corsicana base hall team came
here Monday with the full in-
tention of making it three in
a row from Teague and conse-
quently fattening their batting

“there’s many a slip between

Corsicana was soon to learn, for
Manager Neil Kennedy’s slug-
gers took two of the three and
drew the other in the tenth
inning on account of darkness.
Corsicana started well Moni
day, getting a four run lead bp
the first inning and another in
the third before the locals
found their stride. Then the
fire works opened. A two-base
hit by H. Geppert, another by
Jackson, singles by Randle and
Manahan and three run? were
chalked up. But still one run
was needed to tie the game.
Then in the fourth / Corsicana
nailed another to the board and
repeated in the fifth. But a
lost game being « thing un-
heard of, H. Geppert led off in
the eighth with his third two-
base hit of the game, scored on
a hit by Jackson. Manahan
w'as hit by a pitched ball, stole
second and scored on a wild
throw to second. V. Geppert
and Moore scored and put the
game on ice. The outsanding

Westminister College
TEHUACANA, TEXAS
Sept. 21, Opening Day Fall Term
This institution enjoys the highest ranking that can f>e
given a Junior College in Texas. Standard courses are
offered in all departments.
Thousands of people in the State know that “Tehua-
cana Hills” is one of the best places in Texas to live. An
Ex-Lieutenant Governor recently said: “It is the best
place in Texas to go to school.”
The institution gives special attention to the instruc-
tion of individual students, thus preventing many of the
difficulties that both the very slow and the very rapid
students usually encounter.
The dormitories are homelike.
The teachers really make the College. Experts of
Christian character are employed. Heads of departments
hold higher degrees and have achieved success.
In Music, Expression, Bible, Business, Household Sci-
ence and Physical Training, as well as in literary courses,
the public is offered the best.
Westminster is meeting a vital need of our times by
keeping the cost of a liberal education within the reach of
those of small means. Work is offered to a number, who
must earn as they go. $350.00 should meet the expenses
of any student.

was the game of
thrills. While Corsicana w'as
doing the heavy hitting, Teague
succeeded in keeping hits
bunched so that they meant
runs. Corsicana scored two in
the second, while Teague only
got one in that round. Another
for the visitors in the third
and they settled down to play
ball, feeling safe with that mar-
gin ^o play on. But two in the
sixth for the locals tied the
score again, which Corsicana
proceeded to untie in the next.
Again the locals put one
across and from there on it
was a pitchers’ battle unti
darkness overtook them, after
ten complete innings had been
played.

The third game opened Wed-
nesday with both teams, as well
as the fans, determined to wrin.
Spell pitching for Teague
seemed to have everything
needed to win, while Mclver for
Corsicana was a trifle wild. In
the first both teams succeeded
in sending a man to third base
but neither could get a run
across. Teague scored one in
the third which Corsicana
matched in the fourth’ Then
the visitors put two across in
the sixth, but as three runs is
never enough to win against
the home boys, they put over
one in the seventh, eighth and
double and a triple.
