JIMMY RYAN
 NAMES TEAM All of Them Are New
 Men. ARE MOSTLY FROM CHICAGO Cubs Will Go to Selma in Spring. A | The Montgomery Manager Han Bunch Which He Thinks, VIII Sur prise the Fans of south.
IRE MOSTLY FROM CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec, -(Special)-When Jimmy Ryan starts the season next summer with the Montgomery club his lineup will be made up of nearly all
 When Ryan signed a contract to manage the southern nine he im- mediately got busy and obtained the star men of the Chicago Semi pro League. During the last season Ryan played with and against the men he has procured and he knows what they can do
 He said today that he was perfectly satisfied with the men and after the ball they put up last season he Is almost positive they will make good at Mont gomery. Ryan will take with him the star battery of the Lawndale Club, A. l.. Demare and Tom Messit. The for mer man opened the eyes of the semi Pro fans this past season py twirIing wonderful ball. He did not get started until about the middle of the year and from then on his work was giltedged; His strike-out record Is the largest of any of the local pitchers.
 In addition to these two men, Edwin Almquist of the Felix Colts, Eddie Has sett of the West Ends Dutch Wohle- ben of Rogers Park and Gordon Lewis of the Pirates will all be in the Mont gomery line-up.
 Of this last group of players Ryan Is most impressed with Almquist who is a pitcher. He stands six feet two inches and weighs 900 pounds. Con sidering the team he had back of him his work against all of the Semi-P Pro clubs was nothing short of phenomenal. Ryan says he has won victories over the Athletics, White Sox, Leland Giants. Normals and several of the other strong semi-pro organizations.
 Almquist worked In his last game against the Gunthers and famed four teen men. The steam he displayed in this game was remarkable. Speed Is his main hobby. This with a good as- sortment of curves stamps him as one of the best here.
 T do not think any of these players will have any trouble in making good down there,P saIi Ryan. "The teams we have here in Chicago l regard as good as any clubs in the Western League. We have better talent on teams than many minor leagues When you are playing against such men as Jimmy Callahan, Mike Donlin Tom Hughes, Bert Kelly, Walter Most Jake StahI, and Dutch Meyer, you are playing men good enough for the big

portray these things as vividly as pos- sible. Last night Hell was the sub ject of the sermon: and tonight 1t shall be ou~ task to throw some oil on the troubled waters by showing the infin- ite mercy of God in His dealings with His people. ss
 This mercy of God is shown in His promise of a redeemer to come imme- diately after the fall of our first par ents: and . st of all in the parables of the New Testament.
 But God is also infinitely just. Tn the instances given each one rises up and obeys when the call comes; we must not, then. make His mercy an excuse for going on in our sins. Judas evidently thought to do so, but Jesus said that it were better that he had never been born."
