MEYERS PAIR MAKE
GOOD WITH M'GRAW

(By Alec Sloan of ST Paul News.)
Argenta, Ark, April 4.-Benny Mey-
ers and Big Indian Jack Meyers both
hustled off to the hotel where tho
Saints are stopping upon their arrival
here with McGraw's New York Giants
today.
Here is what "Muggsy" McGraw Of the
Giants told me about the boys when
asked him how they were getting along
today:
well. it is hard to express In few
words what | think OF the two men
got from st. Paul.
Benny Meyers is one of the great
est natural ball players / have ever
seen and unless he falls down terribly
/ Nexpect to find him In New York;
outfeld before he is much older.
He has most all the essential quail
tiles OF a great ball player. speed, judS
ment. hitting and fielding ability and
can slide as we'll as lot of veterans
Jack Meyers is beyond doubt one OF
the greatest young hitters that evei
broke into q big league.
Why. IL practice game not Iona
ago the Indian had two home runs and
he has been getting as many hits as
any man on our team.
'1 look upon these two men as COM
ing stars
McGraw meant every word he said
and from the way the other players
talked about the Meyers pair they
surely have been stirring things up
down in Texas.
However, despite what McGraw has
said about both of them I can't see
where they are wonders.
| always liked Benny Meyers play
Ing better than big Jacks, and he may
stay up In fast company but walt till
the big league pitchers begin TO throw
Indian Jack those fast curves and
then McGraw may change his mind
about Jack being the greatest young
hitter that ever broke into fast COM
pany
The fans will remember how big
Jack was "boosted" last spring what
a wonderful hitter and thrower he was.
but when things began to break bad
for st. Paul Jack was Ike some other
members Of the team.
At that he may stay with McGraw.
for Muggsy has taken several stones
that looked worthless In the rough to
other managers and made great play
eys out of them.

FIRST UNION
SERVICES
HELD
MINISTERS OF ALL CHURCHES
ARE PRESENT.
Tonight the Sermon Will Be BY Rev.
Carver in the First Presby-
terlan Church.

Tho first OF the Union Services to
be conducted this week in the var
ious churches in the Ogden Associa-
tion Of Churches was held last even,
ing In the Congregational church, the
Rev. Noble Strong Elderkin preaching
the sermon, and the following min
listers took part in the service: G w.
McCreery. H. M. Zimmerman, Mr..
Fleetwood, Mr.. Carver and the pastor
of the Swedish Lutheran church The
Congregational choir rendered appro-
pirate music and a very earnest and
helpful address was given by Mr.. FL
derkin. The especial interest In
these meetings was quite manifest
by the largs number In attendance.
The room was very we'll filed with a
representative audience gathered from
all the various religious followings of
the town.
This drawing together of the var
iouS church bodies is the prime aim
of these services. and wherever the
week Is thus observed as II is in many
of the eastern cities the results of
good fellowship and closer afflliation
has been most gratifying The other
prime motive is the deepening of the
spiritual life by the emphasis which
such serviccs place upon the two
great teachings of this historic week.
namely the atonement for sin and the
resurrection Of the body Redemption
and Immortality are facts Of SO great
import TO the race that they cannot be
100 strongly Impressed upon the minds
of the people. and II Is hoped that in
this way the services will be of some
direct and manifest value
Tonight the services are held in the
First Presbyterian church. when Rev.
Carver breaches the sermon upon
Questioning the Christ" The Tues
day of the last week in the life of
Christ was one OF the busiest days of
His life and several chapters OF the
gospels are given to recounting the
work and teaching OF this one day
Tho days work will be reviewed and
especial attention given TO the ques-
tions asked the Christ by friend and
foe. There Will be special music.

on his hands. His horse went TO sleep

strenuous efforts to arouse 1t, has re-

That 1t is slowly coming out of It's

Muir discharged shotgun close to
the horse and a slight Jerk OF the
head indicated thnt the noise had
