CEN. FUNSTON ANSWERS
Explains. Why He Forbade Bap-
It's Preacher to Hold Revival
Meeting in Border Camp.

San Francisco, Dec. O. Major
General Fusion, commanding the De-
Partmcnt of the South. tonight replied
to the Rev. j. S. Gambrill, secretary
OF the executive board OF the Baptist
General Association, explaining the
generals reasons TO not permitting
rcvivals in the military camps here
and along the border. Numerous of
the Baptist conventions have adopted
resolutions condcmning what they UNI
derstood TO have been the generals
action and suggestions were made
that President Wilson, as comman-
der in chief OF the army, be asked to
take official cognizance of the mat
ter. A resolution asking for infor-
nation on the controversy also has
been introduced in Congress.
General Funston gave out copies of
the letter to the press, in which he
says in part:
Received Abusive Letters.

ed by various Baptist bodies, con-
dcmning my supposed stand relative

GIANTS IN OLDEN DAYS
Roger Conner Was One of Great.
est Batsmen in His Day.
sOrator" O'Rourke Also Played on
New York Team-Each Managed
Team In Little Connecticut
Valley Circuit.

At the age of fifty-two, Roger Con-
nor, the famous oldtime first baseman
of the New York Giants, made three
base hits in four times at bat in a
game between Springfield and Meri-
| den of the Connecticut Valley league
and one of them was a three-bagger.
The famous swatsman of National
league fame was one of the greatest
batsmen in his day and generation.
For II seasons he batted well over
the 300 mark and his smashes were
of the sensational order.
James (Orator) O'Rourke was the
big noise in the same league, holding
the office of secretary of the league,
also manager and catcher for the
Bridgeport club, and Jeems had been
playing ball for 80 seasons previous
to this. Orator" O'Rourke was q
professional ball player when Roger
Connor was raw, raw recruit. These
two grand players were on the New
York Giants for many years and twas
through men of their ilk that the name
Giants was affixed to the Gotham or
ganization, for they were giants in
more ways than one. eE
After many years these vets met
again on the diamond green and both
well over the half century mark. In
the season of 1903 each managed a
team in the little league known as the
Connecticut Valley circuit. Roger was
still playing his old position at first
base and the Orator" was still catch
ing the curves of hurlers who hadn't
seen the light of day when he was
grabbing the benders Of Mickey"
Welsh and Tim Keefe. But, on the
other hand, Messrs. O'Rourke and Con-
nor didn't have much trouble in solv-
ing the curves of the modern-day hurl-
err Every time their teams met, the
two old boys would have batting tilt.
In one game O'Rourke made five hits,
while Roger made but two, but, as a
rule, Connor had the shade on the law
yer and beat him out in the seasons
average.
That same season James O'Rourke
had his son playing third base for him,
a circumstance hardly ever chronicled
in baseball history. The competition
between these two for batting honors
was fierce, but O'Rourke, ST., had it
all over the child. James O'Rourke
played ball many seasons after that
year.
