PASTOR PRAISES BASEBALL
Says Il Is Honest, and That
Clean Sport Is Religious.

Many baseball players were present last
evening a. Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, in West I04th street. between Co
Iurlbus and Amsterdam avenues, TO near
a sermon on Baseball and Religion
preached BY the pastor, the Rev. DR.. Chris
tian F. Reisner. Among other things DIT.
Reisner said that St Paul would not have
been averse TO attending baseball games
whenever ne could as his New Testament
figures were based on athletic contests.
5. Gambling IS prohibited, and booze fight
ing and baseball no more mix than oil and
water said Pop Anson- Head work is
a prime factor in the game. Connie Mack
had an almost worthless team in 1903. 50
he got almost all new men for 1909. With
that new team he this year wins the PEN

Iege graduates" said Dr. Reisner.
Baseball offers rare and splendid recre-
alton for the hard driven man OF to-day.
It makes him forget business and causes
his blood 20 jump with new viGor as he
works UP his interest in the game 1t Is
excitement At its best, and does not leave
IN its wake vulgar mental pictures that
follow attendance at many of the most al
Turing theatrical productions Of to-day.
Men must learn, and are increasingly
doing shis. that Gods laws are for mans
good He made them so that man might
reach his best usefulness and fullest health
Every bit Of clean sport is religious, for
the better the body the better service the
individual can render to God in helping
mankind in the upward progress
In conclusion DR.. Rsisner said that all
the requirc crents of a winning team could
be fitted to a man who IS determined to be
a strong Christian. He must be ready
and skilled in striking wrong He must be
ready TO go out after the chance TO do good
He must he quick in deciding and acting
along the right lines. He must think his
