Manager James Burns and his Twin

panied by two directors of the North
ampton club, arrived here on the noon
train but in spite of that fact it does
Il t look rs if there was to be a ball
game this afternoon Manager Burns
insists that his team will not hat
against a coIored pitcher or participate
in combat with team that iucudes
membres of the Negro race in its line
mp. The 'lIamp directors who are here
are understood to he behind Burns
The attitude OF the local directors is
that as long rs there is no rule in the
Twin State league agains colored play
ers this town has perfect right to
use them if it wishes. Wickware and
Bradley, a battery from the Mohawk
Giants, are due here soon after noon
from Schenectady, \. Y, and win ap-

There is a story here that the New
port association had a meeting night

the ball in his mouth. He became Sc

H. This new church edifice represents
the interest and generosity Of Uni
versalists in all parts Of this country.
Winchester is the little New Hampshire

movement in this country. There on
September %, 1893, a remarkable gather
ing was held Of ministers and laymen
representing thirty-eight newly formed
societies in different sections of New
England. in New York. and Pennsyl-
vania, including such famous leaders
as Hosea Ballou, George Richards, Ed
ward Turner. and Walter Ferris. After
animated debate they formulated and
adopted the Winchester Profession OF
Faith, up TO that time the shortest Of
fetal creed of any OF the Christian
churches Winchester continued TO be
rallying point for Universalist conven-
tions in subsequent years In 1s4l, the
old building erected in 1874 was remodeled
and again in 1855. On September Il, 1909.
il was entirely destroyed by fire. The
pastor, Rev A. ]. Torsleff conceived the
idea of erecting a new structure, which
would not only serve the interests of the
local parish, but prove a monument to
the Winchester Profession of Faith. In
dorsed by the general convention of the
Universalist Churches he has succeeded
in raising many thousand dollars with
which TO build a beautiful church OF
the old colonial type. II fronts on the
town common, and is likely to prove a
shrine to which many pilgrims will go
