SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB

Verse 21--Do you know any person
In all history who had a better right
to boldly tell Of his sufferings than
Paul?
Verses 22-23Is there any lack OF
modesty, or good taste, in Paul, or
any other true man, giving full ac-
count Of his qualifications and his suf-
ferings for Christ's cause?
What advantage is it to be born
Of good stock?
What advantage was It to Paul that
he was Hebrew, an Israelite, and OF
the seed OF Abraham?
Is there any higher privilege, or
greater honor than to have labored
and suffered, for the cause Of Christ,
which is the cause Of humanity?

HASTY ACTION NEEDED
ON AMATEUR QUESTION
League Presidents Ignore Commissions Invitation to
Get Together Many Would Abolish Post
Season Contests

Another week has nearly elapsed ana
still no signs of action among those who
are expected to produce the post-seasOn
baseball series to settle the amateur
championship Of Washington, If such
series is deemed wise.
Players and fans alike are anxious 20
learn something definite about these
games, yet the presidents of the several
leagues repose in owI-like silence, anu
TO date have shown no visible proofs
that plans have even been proposed,
much less executed.
According 20 W. c. Thatcher. who for
years has been a guiding spirit in the
promotion of amateur sports in this city,
several calls by the amateur baseball
commission 10 the league presidents
have produced no results, an invitation
TO convene at a given time and place
having been utterly disregarded by these
active moguls. A meeting Of this nature
is the only practical method Of starting
something. and, with the extension Of
an invitation. the amateur commission
seems exonerated and the league lead
ers at fault
Proved a Success.
As has been pointed out before. a ques-
tion of this nature should be handled by
an entirely neutral commission. and
with this point in view the present boGy
was selected. As a result. the series Of
last season, although there was some
delay in getting it started. was sue
cessfuliy handled.
An entirely different proposition has
arisen this season. Last year it was
at the suggestion Of the league
presidents that the commission was
established. and a profitable series
was insured, even before the time for
the games arrived. This season it is
nearly the contrary. Popular demand for
q commission is not evident, because
1t was generally supposed, as was
really originally intended that the
body which acted in that capacity I'm
the last series would again have charge
OF the games.
While viewed from this angle. the
various executives seem the only ones
at fault; there may be legitimate cause
for the harmful delay. In any event.
something definite should be done
along this line in the near future and
the fans. who are the sole support OF
these amateur organizations, Informed
whether or not they are 10 have the
opportunity Of seeing their respective
favorites battle for the city champion

-Four hits for Baker in the two games

Time was when the great complaint
was that the Washington pitchers
worked well enough for six or seven
innings and then exploded. Just heaven
knows, that was ben enough. Now
times haze changed, but we haven't
changed with them. The pitchers have
reversed the old order and are letting
the other fellows pile up a bunch Of
runs in the early innings that leave
the Nationals IN a state Of absolute de-
spair and without any incentive TO score
on their own account The late eX-
plosions were better than the early
ones, for they at least allowed the play
ers the fond deIusion that they might
win by accident, but when they see
whole Wad OF runs staring them in
the face from the first inning, all bets
are of and you can't blame the men.

Fordham Explains
Manager Fordham, of the Government
Printing Office team OF the Capital City
League. is one of the stanchest oppo-
nents of this series. as It is conducted
at present, and at the same time sd-
vances a plan which doubtless would
produce satisfactory results. In going
over the situation Manager Fordham
SAYS:
The series as II as conducted now is
a farce. II can be more plainly seen
by the managers than the fans, but
both are waking up to that fact BY tie

season start and forged out ahead of the
others the trouble begins A majority
Of the select talent Immediately be-
sieges the winning manager As a re-
suit those who are further down in ire

These conditions have been evident
ever since I took charge of the Printing

more than one occasion I have seen
those at the bottom Of the list unable
to raise the necessary nine men, while
the top nOtchers could not find bench
room for all their recruits. This eager
ness 10 get on I've team that is at the

money and think you have the sOlu-

Apart from the pitching and the slow
throwing and thinking Of Lelivelt, the
Nationals were not so bad when it is
they were facing. Their fielding was
good in spots, and they hit the ball
with vigor and effect Most of their
hits were wasted, but the pair Of runs
they made in each game was put over
the plate by consistent sWatung, and
either pair should have won or tied the
game for them If their pitchers had not
sent the whole thing to pot right off the
bat On the road there were flashes in
which the Washington twirlers showed
form enough to hold the opposition
down TO one or two runs, and if they
can do that with some regularity the
team may win a game every now and

Both games were lost entirely through
the pitching. If Cantillon had a few
slabmen who could deliver few goods
lie might get away with few wins
but wlen the team is handicapped BY
such starts as it got yesterday from
Hughes and Witherup all hope is lost.
Hughes simply pitched himself out OF
the game. if not out of the league He
had absolutely nothing. The lombard
ment he received in the second and
third innings was terrific. Seven hits
and six runs jammed home by clustered
clouts was enough to make angels
weep. Witherup got away badly IN
the second game as Hughes did in the
first Four singles and a double on
him in the first round produced four
runs. II would be asking almost more
than human nature could stand to de-
mand that the consistently losing Ma
tionals brace up and overcome such
g. handicap. A man or team IS not
necessarily yellow because he or it be-
comes discouraged in the face Of per-
sistent adversely.
