BOY PREACHER STIRS CLERGY.
Lad In Knickerbockers Delivers
Sermon at Tent Evangel.

j. Scott Dawkins, a ffteen-year-old
Philadelphia. delivered yesterday a SER
mon in Tent Evangel. Harlem, that
stirred a large audience which included
man clergymen. The address was Of
the usual evangelistic type, but It was
made up of incidents. Bible quotations
and arguments that caused all TO marvel.
Many agreed that 1t was such an ad-
dress as might be expected from a man
of mature years.
The boy preacher wore a blue serge
suit with kn~ickerbockers and looked very
frail in the pulp. He said that he was
a preacher because he was so aroused
by the Gospel that he couldn't help tell
ing the old, old story to the world.
The Rev. DR.. MACPHERSON. who Is In
charge of Tent Evangel. said that Spur
seon began preaching the gospel at II
and reminded the congregation that
Christ began to preach at IL.
Ministers are fond OF making the
claim" DR.. Macpherson continued. that
My men can preach who have been or
dained as ministers of the gospel, This
lad at ID breaches acceptahly. and he
has not been ordained. The incident
merely proves that ordination by human
hands Is no more than recognition Of
the Tact that true ordination Is OF God"

he died in 1911 he left The bulk OF his
estate to his third wife.
Mrs. Van Mss. who vas nearly 30
years old when her husband died. started
suit to get from her former husbands
estate the full amount OF alimony due.
The lower courts decided against her.

wife and her relatives by means OF
ante-mortem deeds. In his decision the
Surrogate said
THE crude and careless fashion in
which the aged husband transferred all
his very large property to one who,
though his wife, was a comparative
stranger to him is some evidence of the
condition of senility and Incompetence
charged"
When suit was brought in the SUI
preme Court to set aside the various
transfers Of property to the third wife
and her relatives a settlement was per-
mitted by Supreme Court Justice Green

PLAY came up in one of the
"a more prominent leagues last
4 y summer which caused an endless
amount Of dispute and is possibly still
being threshed out in some sections
of the country While the president
of the league upheld the umpire in the
ruline>he made, know such a version
would not be regarded with favor by
president Johnson. It so happened that
the ruling on this play forced the con-
test into extra innings. one Of the
longest games Of the year, and was lost
by the team that had been ruled
against on the play in question
In the seventh inning of the game,
with no one out, the batter reached
first OF n single Since the home team
was only one run behind at the time,
the batter made an attempt to sacri-
flee the runner on first to second. The
first two attempts resulted in fouls,
making it necessary for the batter TO
hit it out or take a chance of bunting
on the third strike. The hit and run
sign was flashed and the batter hit the
next ball safely to deep right center.
The ball was thrown to third. but the
runner from first beat the play with
some to spare. while the batter who
had hit the bali easily went to second
Got Away with Ball.
The runner from first slid into third
a fraction Of a second before the ar
rival of the ball. The third baseman
muffed the throw and the ball rolled
against the runner. who was lying on
the ground. In some way the bail be-
came a part Of the person Of the runner.

under his arm or inside his shirt The
umpire in charge Of the game admitted
that there was no possible chance to
make P play at second had the third

baseman fielded the ball clearly and
made perfect throw. As a matter
OF fact, the third baseman later admit
ted that he never had any intention Of
making such a play.
While the third baseman was trying
to discover where the ball had gone,
the runner on third regained his feet
and started for the plate. When within
about 10 feet OF the plate the ball was
seen TO fall from the person of the
runner to the ground. In the mean
time, the runner from second advanced
to third on the play.
Ruling WINS Inconsistent.
Naturally. there was q big kick over
the play. The runner commended that
he had in no way figured in the play.
that the ball must have got tangled
in his clothing when he slid into third
base. The umpire ruled the runner
from third out because of interference,
but, strangely enough. allowed the
runner who had advanced from second
to third to remain there. which was
rather inconsistent, to say the least
] have always liked the ruling which
president Johnson of the American
league has instructed his umpires to
follow on such play. whether the
ball had become tangled in the play
er's clothing or the player had pur-
pOsely put it under his arm, would have
made no difference with an American
league umpire. He would have de-
clared the bali dead on such a play and
allowed no bases to be advanced, send
ing the runner who had scored back
to third and the runner who had abb
vanced to third on the play back to
second. 1t is a play that must rest
great deal with the Judgment of the
umpire When no play is possible, it
always seems best to declare the ball
dead. which prevents any action
