WHERE IN DETROIT GETS
CLEAN SLATE.

4 Now that II has become known
that there il no chance for Detroit
to purchase Guy Morton, the popu-
lar yarn that Detroit once had a
chance to get this excellent pitcher
cheap and booted II might as well
be buried with military honors.
Sam Kennedy. once q scout for De-
troit. managed the Waterbury club
In Connecticut and had Morton on
his squad. He knew what the young
ster had, and that winter. when he
became analiated with the Tigers, he
recommended the purchase Of the
young hurler. He received permits
sion to get busy. but found that
meanv hile Cleveland had secured
an option on Morton. and had been
induced by Lee Fohl, Kennedy
successor At Waterbury, to exercise
It. So Detroit had no chance.

AMERICAN TENNIS STARS
ARE NEWCOMERS TO FAME

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. with
in the last half dozen years a new
generation OF tennis players has
sprung up. OF the 1914 list OF the
first 10. according to national rank
ing, seven are comparative young
sters. The only veterans left are
Kari H. Behr. William J. Clothier
and Frederick B.. Alexander. Four
OF the other seven are California
'phenoms."
In 1909 Maurice Mclaughlin and
NJ. n. Long came out of the west.
and their form In the all-comers at
Newport and In several invitation
tournaments caused the powers-that.
be In American lawn tennis Affairs
to take notice. When the next
ranking list was published they
were placed at sixth and seventh
respectively.
The next year T. c. Bundy, Of
Los Angeles. quietly and convinc-
ingly went through the all-comers'
tournament. and lost TO Bill Larned
in the challenge round. The rank.
ing list that year found Bundy Sec
ond to Lsrned. and Mclaughlin and
Long In fourth and NTH places.

and Leroy. names TO conjure with.

The seven young players who
have come into prominence In re.

among the FIRST 10 In the land, are
Mclaughlin. Williams. Murray.

One OF the surprises Of the meet
is liable TO be Butler. The high
school lad has never taken part in
any big meet. He was a sensation
In the middle west trials when he
broad jumped "a feet 2 IL inches
The best shown In the east was 20
feet l-2 Inches.
This Butler chap has legs like
steel springs and goes from the
take-off like shot. A remarkable
thing about his jump that beat "a
feet was that he had run in the 40
yard event and competed in the
pole vault trials before he go,
around TO the jump.
Another thing about Butler Is
that, like Drew. he Il working his
way to the coast. Drew got jot
as a dining car waiter Butler is
not a member OF an athletic club
so had no one TO pay his expenses
When picked 10 go to the coast
meet. he said he didn't know how
he would get there. but he'd be on
hand when the broad jump was
called. He started. anyhow.
In sizing up. Drew looks like a
cinch in the 100 and 220-yard
events. and II f. hard TO see how
they can trim Butler In the Jump

II you don't care anything

care anything about the re-
suits Of your actions, you can lie If you
want to; you can steal If you want to;
you can fight booze, you can commit

me: be not deceived, God is not mock
ed, and what you sow you'll reap. You
can go your way and you can go it to
the limit, but as sure as there is God
above you will have to pay the price,"
With these words, spoken with in
tense earnestness, Billy Sunday began
an address to the men of Bronson and
the surrounding country one Sunday
afternoon. 1t was thrilling sight for
the evangelist when he stepped on the
platform. The immense tabernacle
was crowded to the rear doors, fully
ten thousand men being massed to-
gether in the most wonderful religious
service ever held In all Michigan. In
the choir loft there were fully one
thousand more men and boys. 1t was
after three weeks of hard campaign
ing, during which Mr.. Sunday had
preached as no one ever preached be-
fore In Bronson. He had denounced
sin, hypocrisy, ungodliness and every
form Of evil in a terrific manner, using
at times vocabulary of his own. He
pictured the results of infidelity with
unsparing vividness. But he had kept
his great audiences night after night
In good humor and he carried public
sentiment with him in manner that
amazed such men as Bud McCrea and
Mr.. Graham. In his pictures of heaven
and In his descriptions of hell the
evangelist became tragedian and the
people rejoiced and trembled in turn.
After the first two weeks he began to
plead with men to forsake their sins
and surrender themselves to Jesus
Christ and take up the Christian life
The responses to his invitations were
immediate. Hundreds pressed forward
to confess their willingness to live
henceforth for God. Among the pen
itents had been men Of all classes,
rich and poor. learned and ignorant
Some soc..ty women crowded to the
front In company with operatives from
the Gregory factory. Students from the
Normal school and professors also.
were among the throng which "hit the
sawdust trail"
The Courier devoted more than half
its space every day to reporting the
meetings, and religion was the sole
topic Of interest in Bronson. Prayer
meetings were held every day In every
section Of the city; shop meetings at
noon were addressed by scores Of min
listers and prominent laymen. Bust
ness men who had never before men,
toned religion to their associates now
pleaded with them to accept the Chris
tian faith.
Elaborate Preparations had been
made beforehand TO insure the success

He strobe up the aisle toward the
platform, unbuttoning his overcoat as
he walked. Ascending short stair
way, he pulled of his overcoat, threw
It on chair and walked to the center
Of the rostrum where the pulpit stand
had been placed. He was the instant
focus for $4,000 eyes as he stood there
leaning against the stand. Although
past forty years of age, he looked still
younger, anu his figure seemed small
and slight against the background Of
the thousand voiced choir But Regi-
maid had noticed the confident air with
which he assembled the platform and
the athletic pose of the man as he
stood facing the audience. He could
see the strong, determined face, the
swift glance OF the flashing eye and
the physical vlgor which In former
days had made him the fieetest base
runner in all America.

looms as breeders Of lawlessness."
Men and women finally begin to "hit
