Whites Great Catch

Newport Athletic Club bowed to the
Harrisburg Telegraph team Saturday;

Newport started like a house atire
and tried to clean up Charley Thomas
bunch at the go-off. They found out
before the game was half over that
the Harrisburg Telegraph honors are
won on merit this season and that
Newport was up against fast bunch.
When the game was sliding away from
Newport enthusiastic fans offered any
prize in real money to Newport play
crs to make hit and win the game.
An error by Sterrick in the first
gave Newport their first run. An error
by SCheffer in the ninth allowed two
runs to score. Errors by Briner and
Wagner were responsible for two of
lIarrisburg's runs.
The playing of II. Wagner and Man
ming featured for Newport. Gerdes,
Boss and MerSinCer were stars for the
Telegraph. Whites catch of a foul fly
with two on base and two out and one
run needed to tie in the ninth was a
pretty play. White had to run through
the crowd and take the ball coming
down along the wire screen close to

Smucker Whacks at
Sunday Baseball and
Social SnObbery''

In a sermon on The Big Day of the
Week" yesterday the Rev. DR.. Clay
ton A. Smucker pastor of Stevens Me
mortal Methodist Church. Thirteenth
and Vernon streets, took a crack at
Sunday baseball and social snobbery."
He said. in part:
SUNDAY is the big day of the week
The weekdays are the days of the
hand. Sunday is the day of the heart
1t is the large day for the larger uses
We have no right to prostitute the day
Do the Christian patriotic people of
the state of Pennsylvania want it?
God forbid.
The church of to-day is not a re-
frigerator for preserving perisha BILE
piety. 1t is a dynamo for charging
human wills. A church is not a club
for social snobs, but a hospital for the
healing of broken hearts and home
of refreshment for the weary and
troubled souls. The church does not
exist TO afford amusement. but to offer
instruction and inspiration for living
life of godliness. The business of the
church is not to furnish hammocks
for the lazy. 1t is rather to offer we'll
fitting yokes for drawing life's loads
The object of the Church is not to tell
how to dodge difficulties, but to fur
nish strength and courage to meet and
master them"
