NEW YORK, April 27.-The story
of Billy Sundays conversion to re-
ligion while he was one of baseball's
greatest stars, is an old, old story, but
the fans seem never to tire of hearing
it. In response to numerous requests,
here is the story again, as it appeared
in the April issue Of the Baseball Mag
azine. Sunday tells the story and adds
a few new features:
About twenty-eight years ago l
sauntered down State street in Chica'
60 one Sunday afternoon with some
baseball players. We went into sa-
loon and had several drinks and then
started down the street again. When
we reached a vacant lot at Van Buren,
street, there stood some men and wom-
en-, with Harry Monroe as their leader.
singing gospel hymns and playing
cornet. We sat down to listen.
Heard Same Hymns.
81 had heard those same hymns back
in the little Methodist building at
Ames, Ia, where l used to go to
church When the men and women
had finished singing, Harry Monroe
said Boys, we invite you to come to
the Pacific Garden mission to listen to
the story of some down-and-outers-
girls who have sidestepped, but are
now going square, I followed along to
the mission, and I liked the meeting,
and went back to others the follow
ing nights.
"One night I went forward and got
on my knees and gave my heart to
God. Then | went over to the West
Side and joined the Jefferson Park
Presbyterian church. | was keeping
company with young woman, Nell
Thompson, who is now Mrs. Sunday
Nell was a Presbyterian, so I became
Presbyterian. If she had been
Catholic | would have become Cath
olic.
"One afternoon we were playing the
old Detroit team, and we were fighting
hard for the championship. We had
them beat by one run when it came up

"Charley caught low one on the

it was up to me. There were thousands

my speed l could do one hundred
yards in ten seconds from the crack
of the pistol, and l had run the bases
in fourteen seconds. l was going so
fast that day that you couldn't see
me for the dust. I yelled to the
crowd, Get out of the way!' and they
opened up like the Red Sea for the
rod of Moses.
And as I ran I offered my first
prayer, and it was something like this:
"'God, I'm in an awful hole. Help
me out, if you ever helped mortal man
in your life; help me get that ball.
And you haven't much time to make
up you mind
81 looked around and saw that

my left hand and the ball strickland

that stood there, but jumped up with
the ball in my hand"

Miss Porter Quits Board

Miss Mary c. Porter has rendered to
Governor Carlson her resignation as a
member of the state minimum wage
board, as she expects to leave the state
for an extended trip before the life of
the present board ends on August Is.
1t is not probable that the governor will
fill the vacancy for 80 short q period.
Miss Porter was the only live member of
the board, and keenly felt her inability
to bring about results. In writing to
the o. p. of her decision, she SAYS:
NO one regrets more than the fiasco
this board has made. My only hope is
that it may be clearly understood that
this is only part of the whole wretcbed
industrial situation in Colorado, and that
the progress of the minimum wage
movement for women and children may
not be checked by our failure. 1 wish
to express to you my appreciation for
the courtesy The Bulletin has EXTENDED
to ME, and to say that this experience
has convinced me more firmly than ever
before that any really permanent i'm
provement that may come in working
conditions can come only through con
scious, organized effort on part of work
ers themselves. May the time soon conc
