city league held yesterday evening in
the Offices of the Davis -Kaser COM

double header between two sets OF
teams representing city firms.

One week following the Walla Walla
city team will cross bats with the Pen
dleton ball tossers. probably at the

Heney is following the announce

CLERGY AT RACE MEETING.
Pertinent Questions Raised by Re-
- marks Of Bishop Percival.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON, June 22.-"Why should not
clergymen of the Church of England at
tend race meetings? If more of them did
so don't you think the character of such
meetings would speedily improve?"
These questions are being asked of the
London clergy in response to the remarks
made by Bishop Percival in his triennial
charge at Hereford.
The bishop made three special points:
"Why was it that nonconformist minis
ters were rule so much more keen
and active in the cause of temperance than
the country clergy of the Church of Eng
land?
THE younger clergy were very much
attracted and occupied by athletic sports
and other social amusements which should
be subordinated to their duty and calling.
"Such things as gambling at bridge or
attendance at race meetings were quite
out Of keeping with a clergyman's pro-
fession."
The Rev. Prebendary Webb-Peploo. HIM
tative that he most cordially agreed with
the remarks of the bishop.
at Is now many years since I lived and
worked as a clergyman in the Hereford
diocese. In my time 1t was most certainly
true that the clergy were much occupied
by athletic sports and social amusements.
The term sporting parsons was thor
oughly deserved"
