MONDAY EVENING CLUB
PLANS ANNUAL BANQUET
Function at Rauscher's the Evening
of February %, With Speeches
as Feature.

The twelfth annual banquet of the
Monday Evening Club is scheduled to
be given at Rauschers the evening of
February %.
The Monday Evening Club has been
at first organized as club for social
workers where the members might be-
come acquainted with one another and
discuss subjects relating to their fields
of service 1t has grown to be a club
for both those engaged in social serv-
ice and those interested in such work,
and is forum for discussion of social
welfare questions and an active cham
pion of legislation looking toward the
amelioration of social ailments. Its
membership includes many who hold
high office in the District of Columbia.
1t was suggested that the banquet be
given up this year because of distress
in Europe and in our own country and
that the money be devoted to some
charitable purpose.
Executive Committee Decides.
1t was decided by the executive COM
mittee, however, that because it would
not be possible to collect all the
money, even if the banquet were given
up, and because many of the mem
bers look upon this as an occasion for
enjoyment and, inspiration, the ban
quet should be given as usual, but some
question discussed which has been
made more acute by the war. Ac-
cordingly, the general subject of un-
employment was chosen.
The two main speeches are to be
made by John b. Andrews. secretary of
m q ri r. n
and Charles B. Barnes, who
is at the head of the New York state
public employment bureau. Other
short speeches of five or ten minutes
in length will be made, the new Com
missioner, Louis Brownlow, giving one
of these. DR.. William C. Woodward,
health officer of the District of Colum-
bia, will be POSTMASTER.

BELIEF Of MANY GODS
BASE OF STRIFE, HE SAYS
William D. McCrackan Lectures on
Christian Science at Polls
Theater.

| The science which is giving man an
| understanding of the one God is pro-
viding the final cure for all religious,
social, political and economic conflicts
and contests, in the opinion of William
d. McCrackan, who delivered d lecture
on Christian Science before crowded
house at Polls Theater yesterday aft
ernoon Mr.. McCrackan. who is mem
ber of the board of lectureship of the
Mother Church in Boston, was intro
duced by Hiram W. Hays of the COM
mittee on publication for the District
1T is evident that the belief of many
gods lies at the base of all strife be-
tween men and nations" declared the
speaker.
IF different religious denominations,
different political groups and different
racial units each possess a different
god. then it becomes the duty of each
to fight in behalf. of their own god. and
the result is pandemonium. But if
there is only one God governing the
universe, including man, then obedi-
Ience to that one God insures peace,
cooperation and mutual helpfulness
among men and nations. The science
which is giving man an understanding
of the one God is, therefore, providing
the final cure for all religious, social.
political and economic conflicts and
contests.
Every Step Brings Own Reward.
Every step in the direction of the
right understanding of God brings it's
own reward. The study of each of the
synonyms for God leads to practical con-
clusions which become at once available
in everyday experience. The use of the
word spirit in defining God reveals the
essential nature of man, for the scrip
lures assure us that man was made in
the image and likeness of God; then if
God is spirit, as Jesus declared to the
samaritan woman. man must be spiritual,
must partake of the nature of God. This
the teaching of scholastic theology that
man Is miserable sinner, and with the
teaching of the so-called physical sciences
that man is material mechanism
The saving and healing practice of
the founder of the Christian religion
was based upon spiritual understand
ing, not upon the evidence of sense
testimony. The theology, medicine
and science of Jesus were all one His
understanding of God and of man con-
stituted the whole of His culture and
learning. and made Him the wisest as
wall as the most scientific of all men,
He did not need one kind of wisdom in
order to save the sinner. another kind
to heal the sick and yet another kind
to enable Him to walk the waves and
still the storm. His understanding of
God made Him master over sin, sick
ness, death, and material law, gave
Him authority to say to the man sick
OF tn palsy not only Thy sins are
forgiven thee but also Arise, take up
thy bed and walk and to comma nd
the storm with his authoritative Peace.

The enlistment of all the industrial

recommendation made by Capt. w. E.
p. French, U. S. A. retired, in an ad-
dress on Constructive Militarism" at

Former Backstop.
CLAIMS HELP NOT NEEDED

NEW YORK. July 10.-Manager Roger
Brssnahan. who is now plotting the Cubs
through another campaign in the east.
has been giving a thought to other things
than the mere winning of 4 champion
ship flag. 1t Is the subject of coachers
on third and first base lines which has
taken thc Cub managers attention, and
While in some points his argument for a
rule to aboiish the present system of
coaching is well taken, he will have very
many first-class managers lirad up
against him in the discussion for such
law. John McGraw will doubtless be
one Of the very best little arguers against
tho rule. and Hughey Jennings Of
"Ee-yah" FAM, is sure to be backing
Mac" up to the last whisper.
1t was to Oscar Reichow that Bresna-
han impaired his new idea, and here is
the way 'Rajah" argued it:
Base runners do not have to be
coached" said Bresnahan. "They ought
to be taugnt to use their own judgment
The impression seems to prevail that a
runrer cannot run around the bases and
keep his eye on the ball. That is all
nonsense. A man can travel with all his
speed and at the same time know what
has become of the ball. When the run
ner Is taking turn or going from one
base to another he can take one look,
and II his Judgment is good he will know
what to do. In going from first to third
on hit he does not have to turn his
head completely II the ball is batted
to right center or center field. He need
only to turn his head little and if the
ball is going or fumbled he can deter

For the first few holes of the round
Mcdonald was ahead. and as long as
he was ahead he played with fair
amount of confidence. A poor mashie
shot on the short fifth, which left his
ball in a bunker, cost Mcdonald the
two-st-oke lead which he had gained
earlier. and from that time on he
played without confidence. On four

Work Prevents Victory for

BY j. ED GRILLo.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The los
ing streak OF the Nationals ha:
been checked-not absolutely
stopped with a victory, but by
means of a fve-inning tie game
which Walter Johnson made pos
sible. 1t rained all during the five
innings, but with some $4,000 or
more paid admissions in the in
closure Umpire Connolly very
wisely allowed the game to con-
tinue until the gate receipts were
out of jeopardy. That was when
the score was tied in the fifth and
the rain seemed to be increasing
The usual half hour was giver
to await a change, but when it
continued to rain the struggle was
declared off.
1t was a real struggle. John
son and Benz were :e opposing
pitchers and, had it not been for
three remarkable catches by Lei
bold in center, Benz would have
been a badly beaten man. Every
one OF these captures was of a
long drive, with men on the bases,
and prevented runs. For a time
this sort OF luck seemed to be
enough to give the Sox victory
by reason of their tally in the
third, but in the fifth, the final
inning, scratch single by Nor
gan, Henry's sacrifice and John
sons single scored the tying run,
though McBride's long drive to
lett center was pulled down by
Leibold on a remarkable play.
First Run in Third.
The first run of the game came in
the third, when Benz hit the first bal
pitched to right center for a triple:
this happened after ore was out, Lei
bold hit an ugly-bounding grounder to
Mcbride. who could not handle 1t
cieanly. consequently could not throw
to the plate. and Benz scored, while
Leiboid was out at first.
The Nationals hard luck started in
the second. when with one down, Gan
dill singled to left. Morgan followed
with drive to left center which SEEM
ed destined for the seats. but Leibold
set sail and managed to make the
, catch. In the third Mcbride made a
similar drive, and again Leibold cover
ed acres Of ground and pulled the ball
down. and in the fourth he did further
damage to the visitors when, with Fos-
ter on second as the result OF walk
and Milan's out. he made a cracking
good catch of Shanks' drive.
Johnson allowed but two hits and
struck out four. walking Eddie Col.
Inns twice Benz was hit safely four
times, besides having brilliant sup

Joe Birmingham Sues Somers
for Breach of Contract.
ASKS AWARD OF $4,000
Ex-Manager Claims to Have Iron
clad Agreement for
Three Years.

CLEVELAND. July 1O.-Joseph L.
Birmingham, former manager of the
Cleveland American League base ball
team, today filed suit for $4,000 in CON-
mon pleas court here today against
Charles w. Somers, owner of the team,
to recover salary and damages alleged
to be due because Somers terminated his
contract, discharged him as manager and
released him as member of the team.
Birmingham's petition says his contract
was for the seasons of 1914, 1915 and
1916 at $4,000 a year, with $500 ad-
ditional as an option on his services. and
that it contained no ten-day clause, being
what has come to be termed an iron
CLAD contract. He says he was paid his
salary to June l, 1915. and claims it is
due until October IL, 1916.
Will Test New Contracts.
The suit is expected to be a test of the
so-called "ironclad' contract, which dis
placed the ten-day clause after certain
court decisions held the latter invalid, fol-
lowing the coming into the major league
field of the Federal League, and conse-
quent raids on clubs of organized ball and
jumping OF several star players.
Birmingham was deposed as manager
and released in May after the local team,
had obtained a poor start in the cham
pionship race, despite efforts made by
Somers to give Birmingham free hand
by trading or selling several players who
did not work in harmony with him. These
included Lajoie. who went to the Phila-
delphia Athletics: Johnston. who went to
the Pittsburgh Pirates; Olson, sent to
Cincinnati; Gregg to the Boston Red Sox
and Carisch to Portland.

DETROIT, July 10.-On lis
third attempt to pick from among
his pitchers one who could hold
rampant Red SoX in check, Jen-

who made good was Boland--
Boston had SO many runs, and
Detroit SO very few, that the dis
covery was OF no avail. The score

Those also were the figures when
they locked the park gates. Bo-
land allowed none. Neither, after
Boland got ih there, did Foster,
the Boston boxman.

suit, though the Tigers. at times.
were as erratic as was Boston on
the preceding day. The errors
made, however, had no great
bearing on the result. Dubuc was
unsteady in three of the four in
nings he pitched, and was hit
safely three times in row in the
fourth, which he started by walk
ing two men. Cavet pulled out of
bad spot in the fourth, but
triple and homer were punched on
him in the next inning, causing
his retirement. Foster has been
better at times, but he was good
enough. He was hit hard only in
the fifth inning.
