PARIS, June 13.-With the organi-

Johnny McGraw's bunch pass this

have already arranged to give the
provinces treat, not to mention
the toreadors and senoritas down in
sunny Spain. Barcelona will be
played, the diamond to be laid out in
the celebrated bull ring there.
The formation OF the league here Is
largely the result OF the visit of the
American teams under Comiskey and
their round-the-world lope. While
no game was played by the White Sox
and Giants in Paris, the ball tossers
themselves proved such show to the
natives and American expatriates
that every little boy demanded of his
father baseball" and "cloob" and
vacant lots both here and in the su>
burbs, began to resemble similar
open spaces in any American settle
ment.
The game had been struggling on
for two seasons, with only two feeble
mines composed mostly of Americans.
One was organized by the American
students of the Latin Quarter, the
other by an athletic association, the
Racing club, this too, being mostly

Rev. ZONES on "The War;.

Rev H. P. Jones preached most
instructive sermon last Sunday on
"The War" He presented the facts
and deplored the horrible conditions
of Continental Europe. His conclu-
sions, from the industrial, economical,
and humanitarian viewpoints, were
drawn from his broad knowledge
edge of history, and his profound
thought. He spoke of the part taken
by black men in this great struggle
which would reflect to their credit
and honor. Rev. Jones advocated
peace for all nations by disarmament,
but in mastery language contended
for justice for all, especially the Ne
gro. Miss Haley spoke at the close of
this service and highly commended
the sermon. The members Of St.
James A. M. E. Church are fortunate
to have one of the best pulpit orators
as their pastor and they are loud in
words of praise for him.
