PASTOR INJURED
At BALL GAME
REV. REED STUART WAS KNOCK
ED UNCONSClOUS BY SAT
TED BALL.

The Rev. Reed Stuart, he pop
ular pastor OF the First Unitarian
church, was quite seriously hurt Sat
urday afternoon while attending a bal
game in Bennett Park While he was
sitting in the grandstand. foul ball
struck him above the heart, rendering
him senseless. DR.. Stuart was taken
nome in an automobile. He was un'
able TO conduct services Sunday and
is still confined to his room, although
it is said that he IS recovering from
the shock.
Dr. Stuart is one of the most prom
inent ministers of the city and last
spring asked his congregation TO ac-
cept his resignation as soon as they
could find q successor He felt that
his advancing years prevented him
from. doing the active work in that
parish that was required and said he
believed a younger man should take
up the duties of such growing
church. Nothing, however has been
done, and 1t Is probable that Dr..
Stuart will remain with his congrega-
ton for some time.
