Wonderful Record for 26 Games

Il In the 26 full games which Lund.
gren pitched, only AZ runs, or 1852 per
game, were scored off his delivery.
Only 129 hits were made against the
Scandinavian, or a fraction under five
per game. This record is, perhaps. the
most remarkable made in recent years.
The giant Overall ranked next to
Lundgren in effectiveness, with Nor
decai Brown but q few points below.
Critics, who think Mathewson Is "all
In" will be surprised to hnd that
"Matty" was one Of the best and most
effective pitchers in the league, even
with a fading team behind him.
Only 81 runs were made in 36
games. and he allowed less than seven
hits per game, besides striking out
180 men. the largest total of the Ma
tional league season.

The old West, the West Of the per-
|iod when the Indians roamed the
plains and bad men thronsed the
towns, each demanding from the un-
wary what they thought was due In
respect and contributions, has long
passed into history. and that time
when every man regardful Of his life
carried brace Of six shooters slung
about his hips, exists only on the
stage in the imaginative mind OF
the novelist.
Stories of those days and Of the
hardy people who laid the foundation
for the present great and productive
country are still read with interest
by the younger generation, to when
they appeal as much as do the tales
of old, says the Pittsburg Gazette
Times. so the following yarn, told
by one whose father aided In de-
gree toward building up that section
and at the same time tried to instill
into the minds OF the cowboys. MIN
ers and settlers, something OF Chris
tianity, may prove Of interest.
Away back in the early days, this
gentleman, who was a minister, ar.
rived in little mining town and as
/ II was Sunday he hit upon the scheme
of holding services.
"a small hall, which at other periods
''resounded to the SHUTTLE OF cards and
the buzz Of roulette wheels, was Sc
cured, and into 1t on that Sunday
,afternon, there thronged a motley
collection of gun-toting westerners
some drawn there by curiosity to
hear what the parson would have to
say, and others, possibly, by rec
objection of the time when back East
lit had been their custom to gather al
the little church in their village OF
town.
Uninterrupted, the services went on
and 1t is probable that never before
had that preacher a more attentive
congregation. Finally the time ar.
rived for the collection and here the
parson wavered. How would these
men relish giving up their money for
the church, and who would he ask to
pass the plate? Finally his eye set
tied on one fierce looking individ-
ual who throughout the sermon
had paid the strictest attention and
lwho had been pointed out to the min
lister as one of the most notorious
gamblers and gun men in the camp

ARGUS readers will be interested in
reading the following, which we clip
from the Woodbury., N. J. Times,
where Mr.. Jenkens has been serving
as pastor for some time:
"Rev. Carter A. Jenkens will an
nounce to the congregation of the Cen
tral Baptist Church tomorrow morn
ing, that he has accepted call to the
Hampton, Va, Memorial Baptist
Church and his pastorate will close
here the last Sunday in May.
1.-THE church that he will serve is
five years old and has 9 membership ip
of about three hundred. The building
holds six hundred and is filled at every
service. The building was gift from
one of its wealthy members at a cost
of $50, 600. The adult Bible class is the
most noted in Virginia. It has mem
bership of over five hundred, and the
Sabbath School has a mem bership OF
eight hundred. The church is hand
somely fitted up with a new pipe
organ and has large chorus choir.

ems on his promotion, but, with his
many friends here, will be sorry to see
him leave, as he has done good work
in Woodbury. Many have been
brought to the Central Church under

of people.
These statements have been made
time and again and to this hour have
not been answered. Mr.. Kitchin has
passed them by in silence, as have his
adherents, and in the face of them he.
still goes about the State appealing to
intelligent men to support him because
he claims the Southern Railway and
the American Tobacco Company are
"pers scouting" him.
Mr.. Kitchin's assertions that these
great corporations are opposing him
are not borne out by the facts, and it is
facts that the people should rely upon
in making up their minds as to who
should be nominated for governor.
And the attention of the public will
not be diver ted from these facts by Mr.
Kitchin' S interested declarations that
