The Easter season always brings into especial
prominence the Song service" another compare
lively recent development of church activities.
Such a service, as its name would imply, pre-
sents program that is almost wholly musical In
one form or another and that in most churches
embraces both vocal and instrumental solos. or
course song services held in churches all
through the year, but those at Easter have espe-
cial significance and present more than ordinar-
lily pretentious programs. The most popular hour
for the song service Is at four o'clock in the aft
ernoon, which time prevents II from interfering
or rather conflicting with any of the other church
services. In the southern cities where Easter
usually is characterized by balmy atmosphere
the outdoor Easter song service is gaining popu-
larity in the same measure that openair church
services are gaining vogue in all parts of the
country during the summer.

JINX ON THE JOB
HARD LUCK TALES TOLD BY
TRUTHFUL BALL
PLAYERS.
COULDN'T PASS THE NINTH
II Games Had Been Eight Innings
Louisville Wout Have Been Win
ner-veteran Scorers Hard Luck
5et--AI BrIdweIl's Classic.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

Burke, the little Louisville infielder,
is about as quick with his wits as he
is with his hands and feet, as he
proved one day last summer. He was
playing third base and Dare Devil
Dave Altizer, who just then was hit
ting Ike fiend, was batting for Min
neapohs and, as there was a runner
on first base and no one out, Burke
expected Altizer would dump a bunt
toward third base, so he came creep
ing forward foot by foot, expecting
to get the bunt and throw to second
in time to force the runner there.
He was about 35 feet from the plate
when Altizer cut loose full force at
fast ball and hit 1t straight at Burke
like rife shot. The third baseman
saw it coming and dropped to the
ground like a fash, the ball whizzed
on over third base and down the line
for two-base hit, a run scored and
Louisville was behind. Up in the
stand, near the front, q wild-eyed fan
stood and howled:
"OE, you shirker, you yellow quit
ter. What made you dodge?"
MY boy" called Burke in reply,
"this is game of skill, not courage"
That Louisville club last season
had about the queerest run of hard
luck of any team in history. 1t was
a pretty fair ball club, except that the
infield was shot to pieces by drafting
of the major leagues, and at times it
played good ball. The great trouble
was that it couldn't get over the ninth
inning. During the season the team
won one game in the ninth inning and
lost 29 in the final round after they
seemed to have the game cinched
If they had been playing eight-inning
games all season they would have
been close to the front instead of in
tail-end position. 1t got so that when
the ninth inning came every one on
the team expected an explosion, and
If it failed to come the crowd rather
was disappointed
Finally one day when they we're
playing Indianapolis and the score
was to in their favor with two out
and no one on the bases and two
strikes on the batter the umpire mis-
called strike that ought to have
ended the game. The batter promptly
made base hit, the next man hit for
two bases, and with men ON second
and third the next batter rolled an
easy bounder to the short stop, who
scooped 1t Clearly with plenty of
time to toss it to first and end the
agony. Evidently the nervous fear of
losing in the ninth again unsettled the
short stop, for instead of lobbing the
ball over he threw as hard as he
could and threw wide and low six feet
outside the base. Owner Grayson
toppled over in a faint-thinking the
thirtieth game had been thrown away
in the ninth, but Myers dived out, ex-
tended at full length, stabbed at the
ball with one hand, and by one of
the most wonderful catches ever
made chung to the ball and craw-
fished back to the base just in time

bureaus have been established spe-
cially to carry on negotiations look
ing to the engagement of choir sing
ers. Some singers are SO much in
demand that they sing in two or
even three churches each Sunday,
and an amusing illustration of the
lengths to which churches will go
to secure coveted soloists was af-
forded recently when a rich church
in a leading Eastern city had a spe-
cial door constructed so that a
vocalist after singing her solos
might slip out unobserved in time
to fill a similar engagement in an
other church down the street.
In the average church the great
est factor, next to the vocalists, in
making the Easter music is the pipe
organ. These monster instruments
with their rich deep tones in ire
mendous volume seem to provide
the ideal background for the soar
ing melody of the Easter anthems.
Nowadays every church that is very
ambitious aspires to a pipe organ,
but here again we find 1t possible
for churches to be decidedly ex-
travagant, for $4,000 is by no means
an unusual price for pipe organs of
the largest size in this day and age.
The demand for these instruments
may be imagined, however, from
the fact that America, which leads
the world In such manufacture, now
has seventy-f1ve pipe organ manu-
facturers.
Church organs, except in the
small sizes, are not built in accord
ance with stock designs. as are
pianos or other musical instruments,

to retire the runner and save the day.
Grayson came to as the crowd was
departing and hurried sadly home
ward, still thinking the game was lost
and 1t was not until the next morning
that he discovered that Myers had
saved the team by his catch-and he
refused to believe 1t until he read it
in the papers.

SIOUX CITY WINS
IN GREAT G. +. A.
RAFT RATE CASE
Judge Quashes Writ Of Haheas
Corpus and Remands Ac-
cused to Lower Court.

Washington, Nov. 2o.-The greatest
railroad rate victory the traffic bureau
of the Sioux City Commercial club has
won since it's organization was declared
today when the Interstate Comnerco
commission handed down it's order in
the suit brought by the VIM. Warnock
company and others against h North
western and other railroads. BY the
terms of the order a new and lower
rate scale on the merchandise class
rates between the Mississippi and tho
Missouri rivers will be established, good
on all the first five classes of shipments
originating in what is known as central
signed through Mississippi river cross-
lngs to points on the Missouri river.
The complaint was drawn IN and tho
fight was made by Geo. r. Bell, COM
missioner Of the traffic bureau.
1t is held by the commission, through
commissioner Clark, that the rates on
shipments moving under the first five
river to the Missouri river as parts of
the through rates on shipments from
points east of the Minois-Indiana state
line other than Atlantic seaboard ter
rttcrg are unreasonable and discrifn-
tnatory.
Uniform rates applicable as parts of
the through rates on shipments from
all points east of the indiaiia-fiiitiois
state line from the Mississippi river
crossing to the Missouri river cities
are prescribed.
~Reparation on past shipments is de-
MED.
Compromise Rates Made.
The commission orders the roads to
establish on or before December 80
next n for not less than two years
thereafter to maintain, as parts of the
through rates applying from the Miss
issippi river crossings 10 the Missouri
river cities, Kansas City to Sioux City
inclusive, and to points taking the same
rates, upon through shipments moving
under the rates on the first five classes
to the Missouri river cities, and to
points taking the same rates, class
rates which shall not exceed the fol-
lowing in cents per 100 pounds:

shall apply to Sioux City and to points

are important concessions. Iii the COM
plant, the following class rates were

Involved in tho same case was the
question whether the roads should be
allowed to advance rates following the
expiration, November 10 of the orders
of the commission in the Burnham-
Hanna-Munger case. The commission
Investigated these proposed advances
and found the railroads had to some
extent sustained the burden of proof
put on them. This, however, does not
prevent the orders for reduction in ac-
cordance with the rates already named
on through business from points of
origin east OF the Hlinois-Indiana line

Stanley Committee Will Set fox
Another Month Taking
Testimony.

Washington, Nov. 81. = Rosuning
hearing or the affairs or the United
States Steel corporation today, the
House special committee of inquiry
prepared for at least another month of
Investigation. Representative Stanley.
chairman of the committee. declared
that the work alread outlined would
not be concluded until the Christmas
holidays at the earliest.
Members of the committee let 1t be
known that shippers and independent
owners will be called to testify that
the charge of so cents a ton made until
recently for shipping ore from the
Minnesota ore region to the lake over
the steel trust roads was q hardship.
This rate has now been reduced by the
steel corporation officials in control Of
the Duluth & Iron Mountain, and Du-
luth, Mesaba e Northern railroads to
50 cents g ton.
Richard ". Lindabury, u for the
United States steel corporation made
objection before the committee today,
to a continuance of the hearing, in view
of the governments suit against the
steel corporation. He argued that to
continue the hearing would be against
the provisions of the resolution of con-
gress authorizing inquiry into acts not
under investigation by the government.
The committee at nee went into ex-
ecutiye session.
After a lengthy elaboration it was
decided to postpone further considera-
ton of the objection until the assembl-
ing Of the full committee. Meanwhile
the committee will proceed to examine
the witnesses already summoned to
testify.
