METHODISTS AND LABOR UNIONS
Their Church Opposed to Unions As
They Now Exist.

In a sermon before the Conference
in New York, Bishop Charles c.. Nc
Cabe made the statement that the
Methodist church is opposed to labor
unions as they now exist and would
use its influence to wipe them out or
reform, them. This is a bold declara-
ton and the bishop stated that he
made it in nswer to inquiries by
labor men and friends. LAS now con-
stituted labor unions can not long
stand. Either they must reform them
selves or they will cease to exist,
as they are now unfair and unjust,
and the honest workingman cannot
long be subjected to oppression with
out rising in revolt. | want every
M of the 800 ministers here
to accept this as his creed and preach
it. [ am stating the position of The
Methodist church today at this on
ference, a. the members of the church
do not seem o be disposed to state it
themselves. l want the statement to
be published broadcast, SO that there
can be no doubt as to the attitude of
Methodists toward honest labor

MARK TWAIN'S GAME
WITH LEFT-HANDED PLAYER

At an exhibition given by the crack BIZ
Hard players In New York the other night
for the benefit of the San Francisco suffer
ers Mark Twain was prevailed on to tell
what he knew about the game.
1T took me forty-three years 70 learn
what know about billiards. Mark Twain
remarked. but It won't take me over
forty-three seconds to tell what know
up to the time I was thirty-three years
old l had the most gracious, the sweetest
nature that ever adorned a human being,
but at that time l met with a billiard ad-
venture. and that accounts for the fact
that from that day to this I have had this
Eindlctive' vicious and murderous DISPOSE
ton.
'Forty-three years ago 1 was a reporter

Delehanty. He Is huge and powerful, with

a wild pitch hitter. He hits them between

for he pulls and slashes the ball iercely to
right. His free shoulder muscles permit
him to hit high or low-and he crickets the
ball off his feet as well as drives the high
ones.

and Lajoe smashed the ball over the wall.

Yes" said Cy, land he had two ad-
vance agents"
Arson a Great Hitter.
Arson was a great hitter. His position
at bat was something to admire. He STOOD
feet together. bat clutched firmly at Shout
der arms position, and almost faced the
pitcher. He took one short step forward
with his left foot, and met the ball sQuarely
between the seams. His hits were almost
all line drives. that cleared the infeld. and
he was likely to cripple pitchers, for his
eye was so wonderful that he drove the
ball through the box half the time.
Arson swung the heaviest bat ever used
by any ball player. He had them pteced up
of lockwood. with heavy cores, and no other
man In his team ever could handle his bats
to advantage, although some tried It,
Yet Arson, for all his remarkable judg-
ment, had g. weakness. The pitcher who
started a sweeping out curve at Arson
usually fooled him Into lodging, and many
tfmes he roared at umpires when the ball
cut the plate. The trouble was that Arson
was likely to catch the next one, step
back, and kill 1t.
to BATH He steps up, grasps his bat, taps
the plate, holds iMs bat In his right hand,
while he pulls up his belt with his left,
places his bat between his legs, pulls his
cap on tighter, pulls up his trousers, grabs
the bat again. taps the plate, and Is ready.

COLLEGE CREWS TO ROW
AT AMERICAN HENLEY

The stewards OF the American Rowing
Association are now assured of q big col
lege entry list for the annual regatta to be
held on the Schuylkill river, Philadelphia,
May %. There will be two Fights from
Harvard. probably as many from Pennsyl-
vania and one each from Syracuse and
Yale, with the likelihood of crew from
both Columbia and Georgetown. II the
entries new expected from all these insti-
tutions materialize this regatta will be on
a par with the Poughkeepsie or New Lon
don regattas a college affair.
The Syracuse rowing authorities are very
anxious to secure a chance to row against
Cornell and are therefore doUbly anxious
that the Ithacans should compete at Phila-
delphia- 1t will be recalled that when Cor
nell sent out her invitations for the Me-
mortal day regatta on Lake Cayuga the
Syracuse crew was not invited There has
been much hard feeling between Cornell
and Syracuse in recent years, not only in
rowing, but in other sports as well, and 1t
Is charged that the Ithacans never neglect
an opportunity to snub the Syracusans.
Syracuse thinks that her crew was not in
vited TO compete at Ithaca on this account
and thus they want to get a crack at the
Ithacans In Philadelphia, So If Cornell re-
fuses to go down to the Quaker city the
Syracuse men will undoubtedly ascribe It
to an unwilhngness to meet the Salt city
oarsmen.
The stewards of the A. r. A. are hoping
that Cornell, seeing that her own regatta
is bound to be a poor one at best, will see
fit to row at Philadelphia the Saturday
previous. The Philadelphia regatta is dis
timothy an intercollegiate affair and has no
connection whatever with the University
of Pennsylvania. 1t is held at Philadel-
phia simply because the Schuylkill affords
the best course and is the most centrally
located.
Although the stewards have not yet heard
from Georgetown and Columbia definitely
they expect TO get both crews. The stew
ards are elated over the prospect of getting
Annapolis crews to row in their annual re-
gatta in a year or more. The middies were
invited this year and wanted to go, but the
rules OF the academy Will have to be
changed first. There Is so strong a senti-
ment among the midshipmen and the acad-
erly officials in favor OF granting the navy
oarslnen more liberties about outside com
petition that II is almost certain the mid
dies will be seen at the American re-
gatta'' within few years. Then, If they
can compete at Philadelphia, or wherever
the regatta will be held, this would serve
as q first step toward getting the mlddies
at PoughkeepS4e, a movement that is sure
to bear fruit In year or more.
