Baseball Evangelist

A. Sunday as would bring him most
fully into the light of national atten-
ton. Moreover the various Ohio cam
paigns which the evangelist conducted
beginning with the close of 1910 came
after years Of varied experience
through which he had perfected him
self and his organization and made
himself ready for the greater things
to which he had been called.
Up to that time his achievements
had been such as to challenge COM
parison with the better known evangel-
lists of the day. From that time for
ward he was to hear himself ranked
with the men whose names have rung
through the corridors of time, since
first the Christian evangel was
preached. The days of Luther, of
Wesley. of Whitfield and Savonarola
were invoked for comparison. and as
campaign after campaign piled up its
invincible figures, and even these
SMILES seemed insufficient and Pente-
cost itself was the only achievement
which Mr.. Sunday had not surpassed.
The distinctive Ohio era of Mr.. Sun
days work practically starts with
Portsmouth. where a very significant
campaign opened on the last Sunday
of 1910 and continued for six weeks.
AS result $500 converts are reported
and free will offering of $10.554 was
made. The assistants at that time
were: Rev. Mr.. Honeywell. Homer A.
Rodeheaver, B. D. Ackley, Fred Sci
bert, Miss Frances Miller and Miss
Anna MacLaren.
1t was during the Portsmouth cam
paign that Mr.. Sunday made his first
excursion into Columbus, the state
capital. There was at the time a Wig

Sunday at the opening of his work in
September, 1911, while considerably
smaller in size than the scene of his
several preceding campaigns, almost
equaled them in results. During the
six weeks that the meetings were in
progress 1000 conversions were re-
ported. and the free will offering
amounted to $4,000.
Once more Mr.. Sunday left Ohio for
a brief period, conducting his next
meeting at Wichita, Kansas. The
opening date was November IL, and
the closing was Christmas, 1911.
From Wichita, after the holidays, Mr..
Sunday resumed his Ohio labors at
Canton.

ports the conversions as 5,245 and the

meeting came the Layman's Evangel

A press dispatch from Wichita says:

cheaper, and in building that would
serve its purpose just as well, even if
there were not so much front and
scenery.
There never should have been such
an enormous bonded Indebtedness,
but 1 presume it piled up while an
attempt was made to build up cir
culatiOn and advertising patronage
in strenuous competition.
But any publisher will have a
tough time of it paying rent for that
building and interest on those bonds.
It can't be done unless there is big
advertising patronage at high rates.
If the bonds were wiped out and
the paper printed in a cheaper build
ing, no doubt the Record-Herald
could be made to pay. There are
ways it could be done.
The Tribune enjoys a big advant-
age in competition with other papers,
because it practically enjoys a sub
sidy from the public schools. This
came about by the Tribune's political
pull and juggling of ground rent for
school lands, so as to. keep low
valuation on the school land it occU-
pies practically forever, notWith-
standing the rapid increase in the
value of the land.
The Tribune doesn't own the land.
It belongs to the public schools. But
the Tribune does enjoy the Unearned
increment. The people of Chicago
have created the alleged value of that
land, and it should go to the public
school if to anybody except the pub
lie. But it doesn't. A school board
controlled by Tribune politicians
fixed the lease so that the Tribune
annually benefits thousands of dol
lars at the expense Of the public
schools.
This is another handicap on the
Record-Herald in competition with
the Tribune.
Put those bonds are q still bigger

less politicians or capitalists keep the
paper going for a selfish purpose, and
can afford to lose money on the
property itself in order to make it in
some other way; and any other way
wouldn't be good way for the pub
lie.
The circulation and the age Of the
Record-Herald both have big value,
provided the other handicaps can be
overcome; and I see no way to
overcome them except by wiping of
the slate, through a receiYership-
unless, of course, the paper is sub
sidized; and that would render it less
valuable, if not entirely valUeless, to
the public.
There is real danger in giving the
Tribune and Examiner control of the
morning field. Too many people in
Chicago depend for their information
on what they read in morning news
papers; and a combination of the
Tribune and Examiner trying to
bring about war with Mexico for ex-
would be dangerous.
1t would be better far if all news
papers depended upon their readers
instead of upon their advertisers for
existence. Then newspapers would
strive to represent public opinion, in
stead of trying to control it in the in
terest of advertising patrons. And
then the people could kill crooked
newspapers and support honest ones.
That means the public could force
newspapers to be honest, and we
could have a free press.
However, the present plight of two
of Chicago's oldest newspapers
should help the people to understand
better than ever the newspaper situa-
ton, and the necessity for a free
press. We can't have a free press if

The wicket played poorly and ma.

O. Meyer and II. Poyer made any head

against the bowling of Blades, . for
80, and Gautier, for 20. The total
reached was SO.
Bensonhurst did even worse against
the bowling Of H. Rushton and II.
Power. and not single man got into
double figures. Rushton captured .
wickets for l6 rurs, Poyer took 3 wick

26 runs. In the Brooklyn second inn

Of 9 wickets for 10 runs, only o. Smith

New York Yacht Clubmen
Forced to Forego Cruise
Just When Sport
Was at Its Height.

Now that six nations are battling in
q bitter worldwide war for the su-
premaey on land and sea, with one or
two more sggressors in sight, what
chance has a peaceful yachtsmsn TO
win races on any waters? His racing
and cruising plans, both here and
abroad, have been upset in ruthless
fashion through no fault Of his.
The sport in the United States re
ceived a staggering blow when Sir
Thomas Upton withdrew his yacht
Shamrock " because England went TO
war against Germany. This has prae-
tically forced the New York Yacht
Club 70 announce that there will be no
race for the Americas Cup this year.
which, Of course, is great dlsap--
pointment to the thousands who had
planned to spend a week or more IN
September watching what promised to
be the most interesting series Of races
for that time honored trophy ever
sailed. They will not even be per
mitted 10 see the challenging yacht,
Shamrock ", which was wisely towed

skipper and Colonel Duncan Neill, her
manager, scented danger through the

wars are over and Sir Thomas sees his
way clear 10 re-chsllenge or arrange
dates with the New York Yacht Club

Gift says, for a new series Of races.
Just now it is difficult TO predict
whether the war will last for more or
less than a year.
Just as the yacht owners. members
and guests Of the New York Yacht Club
were beginning 10 appreciate what
promised TO be its most enjoyable an

OUIMET TO DEFEND
OPEN GOLF TITLE
Great Struggle on Links
Occurs at Midlothian

Two big open tournaments of the
year 1914 have been finished, the East

winner of the first and Macdonald

the second. The next affair of this
kind will be the greatest, the nations.
open championship at the Midlothian
Country Club, near Chicago, August
IS to 81, inclusive.
There will be a difference from the
conditions which existed last fall at
Brookline, in that there will be no
Vardon, Ray or Reid on whom to fig
ure. Had there been any intention oil
the part of foreign professionals TO
compete in America this season, 1t
would have been dispelled by the Euro
pean war. There were rumors that
British professionals would be here,
but they were without foundation.
SO it happens that Americans viii,
have to fight it out among themselves
for the national open championship.
Naturally, one of the principal con-
testants will be Francis Ouimet, the
Youthful amateur who was so success
full year back against even the at
tacks of the foreigners, TO mention
nothing of the attempts of the Ameri-
can members of the salaried brigade
Still, il can hardly be expected that the
young man from Woodland will repeat
his electrifying achievement OF 1913.
Because of his wonderful work IN
the metropolitan open at Scsrsdsle,
when he won the title in the record
figures of 278, the effort Of Macdonald
Smith will be watched with interest
He tied with his brother Alec and John
J. McDermott at the Phila1e lphia
Cricket Club in 1910 for the national
championship. Alec winning on the
play-off. Vardon and Ray declared
him to be the most promising OF all
the American professionals they had
seen.
II the others who might be me1-
toned as having chance were gwen,
the list of possibilities would be
swelIed considerably. 1t is sufficient
TO say that in medal play competl-
ton at 70 holes almost any one who is
in happy scoring vein and can keep
il up for that distance can win. Ac-
cording to the developments of the
last year there are many in America
who could bring off the feat
John McDermott did not appear in
the metropolitan, but it may be ex-
pected that he will be a figure in the
national at Midlothian. 1t would not
be surprising if even now he was in
that vicinity practising. MACK" is a
power on the links and is not TO be
overlooked. His misfortunes of the
last year or so are not to be taken into
consideration. He is new McDer-
mott, much subdued, yet just as able.
Those who have a chance can be
better told when the list Of entries
arc announced by the United States
Golf Association. The list closes on
Tuesday with John Reid, jr, the ma
tional secretary, 10 East 45th ST., this
