New York. Sept. 27.-The Rev. DR..
Christian F. Reisner. pastor Of Grace
Methodist church in West One Hun
dred and Fourth street, between
Amsterdam and Columbus avenues,
said in a baseball sermon on You're
Out" at the regular service hat the
bible is the Spalding book of rules
for the game of life." and he was sure
that st. Paul would have been a fan
had the game been played in his day.
DR.. Reisner went among baseball
men to get the material for his dis
course and talked with forty players in
time to read Matty's famous pitch
ing in a Pinch"
AS one Of the deacons said after
the service. the grandstand and the
bleachers were filled. 1t was estimat-
ed that more than 1900 persons were
in the congregation. including a num-
Der of the Giants, Dodgers, Pirates
and Cardinals.
The Giants who attended the service
were Wilson, Herzog. Fletcher, Snod-
grass and Becker.
He said there was no more intrinsic
wrong in -horseracing than in baseball
except when betting gets in. and urged
baseball to see to it that the game is
kept free from the gambling evil.
LII. INC1oIlcT SdlO Iud every SuNo
thinker must rejoice in the great good
that baseball is doing for the country.
and no honest player should be
ashamed of his business.
Every baseball player must be
careful of his morals" he said. "No
gritty player wants to be put out. That
is why he wants to fight the umpire.
Many get put out of the playing per-
manently when it might be avoided.
That is equally true in life's game.
st. Paul was interested in all ath-
letic sports of his day. and used them
as illustrations to carry his truth. He
feared that after preaching to others

isn't it? Husk Chance has been hit on

DR.. Reisner read n letter from Billy
Sunday. the baseball evangelist. in
which Sunday wrote:
