SELDOM SEE TRIPLE
PLAYS IN BASEBALL

a triple play is one OF the rare things
in baseball. because it requires d eoTnbi-
nation of circumstances which seldom
occur. There must be at least t7vo men
on the bases and no one out Then the
next batter must hit the ball in a GER
tain way or the chance Of. a t.iple is
must be perfect and fast. But tefo triple
plays made by one man unassisted have
ever been recorded One was the fs-
nous play of Paul Hines way back in
the early sos. The other is fresh in
the mind. although it was made in u
minor league
In 1891 Harry O'Hasan was playing

GENERAL TREPoFF.
DIR. TUPPER ENJOYS HUMoR.

Rev. DR.. Kerr Boyce Tupper, of the
First Baptist Church, who is as good
at an after-dinner speech as a sermon,
has a weakness for collecting slips in
English wherever he finds them.
One OF Dr. Tupper's favorites in this
line is an inscription. written in a book
by Queen Mary consort of William,
which runs as follows;
Give 70 William and I on our corona
ticn day"
Another example is an advertisement
from a Western paper. reading:
Wanted, a ferder for 500 sheep that
can SPEAK Spanish duently."
DR.. Tupper does not hesitate to take
examples from his own profession, how
ever, as witness his story of the young
clergyman who. after preaching a fu-
neral sermon. wished TO invite the
mourners to view the remains. bat be-

Rev. DR.. G. Campbell Morgan, the
well-known London evangelist, sailed
for Liverpool, yesterday, on the Baltic.
Before the steamer left, DIR. Morgan
criticised the Churches of America for
their lack of spirituality and their
great devotion to worldly affairs. The
American business man came in for
share of the evangelist's comment, and
was pictured as ''a so-called Christian
who thinks more of the frivolities aud
pleasures of the world than he does of
the solemn pledges made to his faith. ;"
DIR. Morgan continued:
l am surprised and astounded at the
way the so-called Christian business
man keeps his pledges to his Goa and
his Church. To-day the Churches
seem to be little more than social or
CARNATIONS. They spend more time
developing along social lines than they
do along spiritual lines. What is the
reason for this condition? The busi-
ness men, the influential Christians
and those who are in power, do not do
their duty. Wrapped up in their own
affairs, or busy in the pursuit of plea
sure, they lose track of the way and
forget the pledge they made to God
and to their Church. The old time
spirit and the old fire is lacking, and
without this what can be expected?
Many a man whose name is on a
Church roll is not doing his part in
the conversion of the sinner or the
7SsPTead of the Gospel. How can bust
ness man expect to have an influence
with his employees when they know his
life, his methods, and just how far he
practices what he breaches. What the
Churches want is more of God and less
of dress and social position; more OF
the spirist of the Master and less of q
strife for place and money, and more
religion by example and life than by
preaching and talking.
