ANNAPOLIS. Md, December 1.-The
Midshipmen's basket ball team opened
IT'S season OF games In the ar,nory this
afternoon by winning from the quintet
of Baltimore Medical College. % TO %.
The contest was spirited and interesting
throughout, and was witnessed by a
fairly large crowd
The visitors opened up hostilities with
some rafting fast work, in which team
work was a telling factor, and in few
minutes they had tailed seven points to
the Middies' two, and when the first
half ended the score stood, Baltimore
Medical. 10. Navy 10. But the fast pace
early began to tell on the Baltimoreans
in the second half, and this was primarily
the cause Of their defeat They plainly
showed that they were pretty well worn
out after ten minutes of the half had
expired, while the .Midshfpmen seemed
correspondingly stronger.
The Mietdfes jumped into the lead right
at the oIening of the half. scoring two
consecutive field goals, and after that
they were not needed. SO tagged out
were the visitors for a time that the
Mfddies scored three or four goals with
out any great effort. Wenzell, Wills and
Abbott played a strong game for Navy,
while Neuhauer, Scheurholz and Leslie

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December f.
That John King will be the manager

this morning on an exchange OF tele-

The result of the exchange shows that
Killing is anxious to sign up as manager
of the Phiilies, and that the Philadelphia
club Is just as anxious to have him, the
solution being up to the national COM
mission.
Acting possibly as an intermediary for
the suspended King. r. c. Council OF
Chicago wired President Fogel Of the
Phillies, as follows:
Have you secured John Killing? Re-
ports misleading. King says he would
like to manage your team"
Mr.. Fogel Immediately wired the fol-
lowing reply:
Thomas Durham secured option on
King last August from Mr.. Murphy.
conditionally that if he does not return
to Chicago the Phillies shall have first
claim to his services. This option was
included among assets of the Philadel-
phia club when / purchased 1t. l have

his case. (SigneD. HORACE FOGEL

DO CLUBS TAKE THE
PLACE OF CHURCHES?

age, the churc hseems to have be-
come secondary to the many or
CARNATIONS which flourish under
the auspices of the church. In other
words, the church appears to have
become auxiliary to the societies.
instead of the societies and organ.
izations remaining auxilaries of the
church.
There is the Y. M. c. A. which
has brought men together from all
Protestant organizations. Similar:
societies exist among the members
of Hebrew and Catholic churches.
But the latest organizations to
usurp the work of the church are
those of the mems clubs.
Here the men meet together In
the evenings on common grounds
of informality. In many cases the
church membership is not requis-
tie for club membership. In fact,
the orthodox principles which have
bound churches to the middle ages
are practically eliminated from the
church clubs.
We wonder why men do not
go to church. We ask why mems
clubs are more popular in church
