MANY AT OLD ST. PAUL's
Dean Foley breaches on "The Convic-
tion of Sin" at Lenten Service.

JIOH OF OH HI LeIItH DtIVICU'
Hundreds of business men and women
attended the Lenten services in Old st.
Pauls Church. Sd below Walnut street,
where the sermon was delivered by the
Rev. DIR. George c. Foley. dean of the
Divinity School, of this city. The services
began at 1880 and lasted until l o'clock.
Dean Foley took for his topic THE Con-
viction of Sin" The expression "convlc-
ton of SIM" he declared, did not convey
the meaning to modern generations that
1t has had in years gone by. A realiza-
ton of the seriousness OF sin and its GER
tain resulting conviction. he declared,
should deter man from breaking the laws
of God.

II was q nice little April fool joke
that John Ziegler. alias John Jack
son. played on Victoria Ziegler,
when he led her TO the altar in
sandusky. O.. April I, 1915. His
bride caused Johns arrest. Thurs.

support.
While Detective Allen was look.
ing ulp the warrant he ran across
the nles In another case Of non-sup-
port against John Ziegler. in which
the complainant was Annie Zlegler.
BY strange coincidence this case
was scheduled for hearing today,
and when the complainant appeared
II turned out that the man arrested
on the complaint Of Victoria was
the defendant In both.
Ziegier admitted to Justice Stein
that ne had two wives and that he
had deceived the second woman
who had taken his name.
His hrst marriage took place in
Windsor six years ago. and there
are two children ~ q result OF the
union. The FIRST wife lives at No.

Fans Lift Their Hats to
 Pitcher Burleigh Grimes
Baron Heayer Pitches Him. self Into Undying Fame When He Fans Twelve PeIicans

Burleigh Crimes the Baron nero of yes terdsy's victory over the New Orleans Pelicans pitched himself into undying fame when he sent F of the hard-htting Pelieans to the bench by the strike-out route
 The sensational Baron heaver, despite his early wildness. was never in bet ter form. and but once when he let down after his mates had given him a seven run lead, were the Pelieans able to find his delivery with any degree of consist eney. In crucial moments Grimes was invincibe Tn the third inning. when the Pels had crowded the bases with only one down he held them hefp-ess.
 Yesterday Grimes had everything His speed was equal to that seen at Rick wood Field when Bert Maxwell was in lis prime. and the wicked bends and shoots of his curve balls completely bafa fled his opponents. Grimes showed IT Ie pure and unadulterated stuff +' an has been seen in Birmingham by any pitcher this season.
 And the Baron yhurler in facing the Pels was forced to pit his cunning against one of the best ball clubs in the league. It was . true test of his ability and the way-th youthful heaver performed the dRty bespeaks for him a rose-tinted fu- ture He grew better as the game wore on and his feat of flaming four of the last six men to face him probably will not be equaled in any league this sea- son.
 Grimes Is a conner. The boy is but % years old. He seems destined to a thor ough trial in faster company, and when the chance comes he will have a host of Birmingham friends who will wish him good luck and godspeeo c. W. c.

the early days of the present
 spring, before the current season = had had it's being. a message of some significance was waited to the faithful flberts of the stove league. The message came from the general direction of New Orleans, and it said. Watch the Pelicans''
 For once the siren call proved of real merit. The bouyancy of the Pelican faithful was not based upon the hope eternal. It was an expression of sound judgment. and that judgment has been vindicated.
 Johnny Dobbs is not going to walk away with the gonfalon. His club is not head and shoulders above anything else in the Southern league. However. Dobbs has the classiest looking base ball machine that has appeared in Bir- mipgham this season, and nothing save complete disintegration can keep him out of the fight for first honors.
 
 The Pelicans are not playing out of their class. Such things can happen, alright-Nashville furnishing notable example-but Dobbs has a premier club both on the field and on paper. His players look good, and they have made good. The Pelican manager is not experimenting The class shown by his players is not a flash in the plan. It is a vindication of their rec ords. The New Orleans pilot has gath cred together a wonderful combina- tion of experience and ability, and with it he has a well-balanced club and one that can win and is going to win.
 In Bagby, Morgan and Smith the Pelicans have three hurlers equal to any other three in the league. Weaver and Frost also are dependable. The fnfield is fast ana experienced and in Birmingham at least has given fancy exhibition of inside baseball In Syl- vester. Hendrix and Coyle Dobbs has, next to Birmingham, the best outfield in the south.
 In other words the Pelicans composes that kind of club that knows what to do, and when and how to do it. They don't juggle with brilliancy only to offset il with an exhibition ot poor judgment There are no ragged mo- mepts to show the lack of baseball mentality. there is no indication of rawness and inexperience. There is no evidence of a tendency to blow.
 
 The Pelicans are far from perfect, however. There is not a single shin ing luminary on the team There Is nothing about them to set the league on fire. They are regular ding dong baseball club, just like the others now doing duty in the Southern. only lit- tie better than most of them. Linn ited to Glass A salary role and Class A players, Dobbs has a plain, old Class A baseball team, but at that one of the best in its class.
 Watch the Pelicans,' said the pre- season message. and they will bear watching. Barring the accidental
