secretary's Report.


Before considering the work which
our local association is doing let us
for few moments look back at the
association movement in general in
order that We may realize more fully
what it all means and what the Young
Moments Christian Association is
really aiming at.
~ The very first organization OF this
sort was prayer union in England
under Miss hobart and about the same
time boarding home for young Wom-
en- was opened by Mrs. Kinaird. ms
was over fifty years ago, and while
neither of these enterprises resembied
greatly the association of today, stlli
they formed the nucleus of later work.
Between these two phases of WORK
for women. the one ministering to the
welfare OF the soul, the otLe. supply
Ing the comforts for til body, many
new phases of work for the cause OF
vomanbood found latitude. Various
clubs and socities under many names
s gave expression to the growing sentl-
ment that Young women needed some
!. thing that had not yet been given 70
them, and in 1865, over forty years
ago, the first association in the Unit
ed States was organized in Boston.
The new phases OF activity when
women were beginning to pursue ana

FARRELL APPEALS CASE.
Joseph Gordon Obtains Interlocutory
JUDGMENT Against Base Ball Clubs,

NEW YORK. January 19.-Frank j.
Farrell and the Greater New York Base
Ball Association. which is known as the
New York American League Club, filed
an appeal in the appellate division yester-
day from the interlOcutory judgment OBJ
tanned by Joseph Gordon in an action he
brought against the club for an account
ing and for services.
He claimed that he organized the club
in 1916: and was the manager and presi-
dent for two seasons, when he was re-
moved b. Farrell. who became president
Farrell and the club objected to the com
plant on the ground that it did not con-
Stitute sufficient cause of action. The
lower court overuled this objection, and
Farrell appeals TO the higher court to
have this question determined before the
suit comes up for trial.
