RIVIERA TO SEE BALL GAMES
Large Crowds Expected to Witness
Pastime In Many countries-Naples
Especially Elated. IS

"All signs point to a great baseball
season on the Riviera next February"
said Dick Bunnell of Chicago, director
of the projected New York-Chicago
worlds baseball tour, while in Paris
the other day. Mr.. Bunnell has been
IN Europe several weeks making the
necessary arrangements.
II expect the biggest crowds in the
Philippines, japan and Australia.

is also enthusiastic at the prospect Of
seeing the great American pastime.
The chamber of commerce of that city

other festivities are forthcoming from
many other cities in southern Eu.
rope.
1T was originally planned to play in
| all the leading capitals of Europe, but
this will not be practicable because il
is too cold. You cannot get crowds
| to sit outdoors in February in London
Berlin and Paris, or even Munich and
Vienna, and the schedule cannot be
heightened because it would make the
players late for their spring training
tours. Thus the trip probably will
end on the sunny Riviera, where the
presence every winter of thousands OF
wealthy and idle people, including
many Americans, promises a fine op-
portunity for successful games. The
players can then visit the rest of Eu-
rope privately"

JUVENILE MISSIONARY SOCIETY

1t is with pardonable pride that
the Women's Missionary Society of
the Methodist. church reviews the
work being done by the Juvenile
Society of this Auxiliary.
This Society has a membership of
sixty, from five to thirteen years of
age; and is under the able manage
ment of Mrs. w. A. DuPre, who is
remarkably gifted along the line of
children's work.
They meet the second Monday in
each month at the home of Mrs. Du-
Pre-, carrying out a program, which
she has arranged to interest them in
this branch of church work.
The part which seems most to
please these little workers, is the
musical part of the exercises.
One song, 'The Merry Little Mis-
sionaries," is the favorite, and is
sung at nearly every meeting.
Mrs. Glenn Marchman presides at
the piano and proves a most willing
assistant always on hand for this
delightful hour with the children.
Mrs. DuPre has ready story of
child life taken from the Bible, to
tell them, in which they are always
interested; sometimes a little recita-
tiCn is given, and in every way pos
sible, the program is made inter-
esting and attractive for them.
No regular dues are collected,
only a free-will Offering is given by
each child. There are also nine
members on the cradle roll.
The Auxiliary considers itself
very fortunate in having Mrs Du-
Pre- at the head of this department.
for it is to her willing and untiring
efforts that it's success is due. She
is training to-day, those on whom
the church and the Women's Mis-
sionary Society Of tomorrow will
depend
