Methodist Episcopal Church Notes

prayer meetlng InufSOay evening
at T. 80.
The theme of the morning sermon
was, "Ancient Landmarks Removed"
from Prov. 1928, "Remove not the
ancient landmarks which thy fathers
have set"
GA landmark is some conspicuous
object that serves as a guide. We
deal with spiritual inheritance hand
ed down by our fathers as rich be-
quest of truth and virtue. All along
the way we find landmarks, certain
great outstanding principles, COM
mandments and ordinances, estab-
lished for our guidance by God and
the men of other days. Needed, they
are the pledge Of our safety in time
and in eternity. Unfortunately there
is growing tendency among Chris
tian people to seek for greater lati-
tude in their Christian life, and they
frequently attempt to remove things
from the Bible to their own detriment
and loss of spiritual power"
The sermon closed with a plea for a
return to Gods word and obedience
thereto.
The evening sermon was based on I
Kings 1921, Glow long halt ye be-
tween two opinions" It pictured the
folly Of delay in beginning the Chris
tian life and urged the immediate ac-
ceptance of Jesus Christ as person
al Saviour.

in their Colonial league venture after playing out the schedule in it's en- tirety. The Colonials were not under as great an expense as the Eastern owners are, but were handicapped because of poor management. Syndi- cate ball also added to their fail ure.
 There is much speculation as to whether the Eastern will stick the season out or shorten it's schedule a couple of weeks. All of the mag mates insist that they will not close shop at this stage, but it is hard to foresee them digging down into their pockets week after week.
 Jim Clarkin and Bill Carey, owners of the Hartford and Springfield clubs, respectively. the prime movers in the consolidation of the Eastern association and New England league. now see their mistake. It is improb- able that they will start another sea- son under the present conditions. They are paying dearly for their ex- perience.
 ! James H. O'Rourke, who did much to place baseball on a high plane in this section, is greatly missed. But the Eastern league magnates refuse to admit this.

WELSH TO MEET
 WHITE IN DECISION BOUT ON LABOR DAY

New York, July 25-Freddie Welsh's lightweight title will sway in the balance in a 2O-round decision contest at Colorado Springs on Labor Day. Welsh was signed yesterday to meet Charley White of Chicago to a referees decision. Harry Pollok and Nate Lewis, managers of the men, met in Chicago and agreed on the terms.
 The Colorado Springs, promoters will give purse of $17,50O for the bout, Welsh to get $13,500 with the option of accepting 50 per cent. of the gate receipts. White will get $4,00O for his end. Welsh will also receive 51 per cent. of the moving picture receipts. Billy Roche of this city was named as referee.
 Edward Pitts of Denver, who rep resented the Colorado promoters, said that an open air arena. seating IA 500 persons, would be erected.
 The men will weigh 1855 pounds at g o'clock in the morning, five hours before the time to enter the ring.
 This will be the first 20-round de- cision contest that Welsh has engag- ed in since being awarded the ver- dict and the title in London on July 7, 1914. Eugene Corri decided in his favor after 20 rounds with Willie Ritchie. The Labor Day contest will be the fourth meeting between White and Welsh.

EASTERN MACNATES WILL HAVE BIC LOSSES ON PRESENT SEASON
Bad Weather and Heavy Travelling Expenses
 Force Owners to Dig Down.
@s.62

| New Haven, July 25-Present indi- cations are that the Eastern league will suffer greater financial loss at the end of the present season than any other class B league in the coun- try. That Interest in baseball has de- teriorated in New England can read- fly be seen from the poor crowds that have turned out to the games to date. Poor weather conditions, heavy travel ing expenses and the failure of the fans to warm up to the calibre of ball at the start of the season, have caused the club-owners financial set back which they cannot possibly over come in the remaining seven weeks of the scheduled playing season.
 Reports from every city along the circuit are discouraging. In several of the cities the club owners foresee but one way of preventing financial ruin of themselves and that is by disposing of several of their star players either by the draft or sales route. Ger tainly, I'm hooked in right" declar- ed one of the magnates recently "but how about the others?"
 The club owners are rather re1uc- tant about stating their losses, but a fair estimate is all of $35,O0O. Last year the Wards dropped about $40,000

WALSH'S CLEVER
 PITCHING BATTLES
 SPRINGFIELD TEAM
RY wa gnec.l


 No wonder some folks prefer selling pencils on a busy corner to being an umpire. Consider the case of Mutt Waters who tried to keep peace among the warning Springfield and Bridgeport players yesterday at New field. Every time Waters made de- cision he got black looks and hard names from the athletes. When Man ager Flynn of the Green Sox was called out at the plate in the seventh he howled like a wolf. Bill Powers, the string bean twirler, made faces when the arbiter> failed to call every thing a strike.
 the Springfield boys feel disgruntled. his splitter hopping at funny angles and the visitors couldn't get a run. Five hits represented their afternoon S work It was the fifth straight victory for Walsh since he. returned from a visit to his home.
 Powers, who generally hypnotizes the locals. was invincible except in the third. In that round Blakei single and counted when Deininger crashed one through the inf1eld.
 The visitors gave the fans a scare in off with hits. Flynn tried to ring up on Hickey's fly to Briggs but was out out on a close play. In the ninth Hammond strolled. took second on a wild pitch and third on an out. He was left there as Low and Hickey proved easy victims. The score:

GILHOOLEY DAY WAS
 PLAYED IN BUFFALO BUT
 OUTFIELD STAR ABSENT

New York, July 25-another mis- fortune has been visited upon Frank Gilhooley. The star. little outfelder, who broke his ankle a few weeks ago, was to have been the main attraction in the exhibition game which the Yankees played at Buffalo yesterday. Gilhooley played with Buffalo last sea- son and was big favorite.
 In the spring, when Lee Magee. Hugh High and other Yankee players were honored in towns where they had previously played, <Gilhooley said to Harry Sparrow, business manager of the club:
 Why don't you book a game for mel"
 "All right, Gil, we'll book one al Buffalo for you," said Sparrow. And the game was booked.
 The Buffalo fans planned to give Gilhooley a big reception on his re- turn and make him some kind of a presentation. But Gilhooley was not present, as he is at his home in Tole- do.

Now that the Giants are home they have a chance to show their admirers whether they have the stuff to make a fight for the pennant. Strengthened by Herzog and Sallee they are in a position to reel off winning streak against the western clubs. Such g. string of victories will be necessary if the Giants are to close up the gap between them and their rivals.
 Many critics think McGraw's men are not yet strong enough in the box to beat the Brooklyns and Braves. Although the addition of Sallee has undoubtedly bolstered the club it is thought they need. another star right handler. Perritt and Anderson have been uncertain and Tesreau has also been an in and outer. McGraw re- gently said his pitchers had him guessing, The man he selected. to start the game was apt to blow in a few innings and the next finger would hurl airtight ball. after the contest was lost. At any rate the Giants cannot afford to lose any more time. They must brace right away or forget their dreams of worlds doubloons.

CLEVELAND TAKES
 EXHIBITION IGAME
 FROM MERCHANTS

Cleveland, July 25-The Cleveland Indians defeated the New York Giants in an exhibition game there yesterday afternoon by to 2. The American Leaguers chased over the winning run in the final innings on free gift to Roy Chapman a base hitiby Brad ley. the Indians new backstop, and a safe blow to righ tfield by Ivan How ard.
 Rube Benton, Pie Way,j erstwhile star of the Yale nine, and fF'erdinand Schupp the ffail young left-hander. shared the pitching for the Giants. Benton pitched the first four innings and so great was his speed and so de- ceptive his curve ball that nary one of the Indians crossed the plate while he occupied the mound. The Rube left the conflict with the Giants lead ing by runs to O.
 Way supplanted him in<. the fifth. and in the sixth the Indians proceed- cd to tie up the score. Wambs- ganss hit the first ball Pie pitched for a single to right. Speaker laid: a bunt down the third base line and beat Lobert's throw to Merkle.. Evans sacrificed. On wild pitch Wamby counted and Speaker moved up ito thdrd. Klepfer hit safely to- centre field and the score was tied.
 Schupp went in to pitch for the Giants in the seventh and went well until the ninth, when the Indians won the game.
 Labbetfi, the Indians new pitcher, began the game for the home team and, yielded the only two runs scored Inv the visitors The Giants hit the Iydungster hard but threw away sew less base running. g,,s ,.

Mills stuck to his guns and reported daily at the Newark park until last week, when the former Fed promoters decided to pay him off for the season and let hiv go.

GRIFFIN SURPRISES TENNIS CROWD BY
 BEATING WILLIAMS

Boston, Mass, July 25.-A steady little tennis player from the Pacifc Coast, c. J. Griffin, turned topsy- -turvk yesterday afternoon Boston's precorf ceived notions of the decorum which should be manifested in the early rounds of such a classic as the twert- ty-fourth L.ongwood tournament. Tip crafty Californian set off his. bomb shell in the second round of the sin gles event ,and the victim was nonp other than Richard Norris Williams, 2d, national champion in 1914 and las year ruuner-up to Maurice B. Md Loughlin for the Longwood honors. 2
 It was the most startling surprib that has bobbed up In the tennie world this season, and Griffin took keen delight in his victory. After the match he said: T think I played thP best tennis of my 1ife.'' The victory was doubly gratifying to the Califof- nian. Last year. on the Pacific Coast. Griffin brought about the downfall of Williams in the East vs. West matcheb at the Panama-Pacificl Expositio1b only to have the cry go forth thaf Williams was handicapped by unfak miliarity with playing conditions of the asphalt courts, and as to provk this Griffin was twice beaten by hib Eastern rival in later season matches The vindication came yesterday, ana he scored his most decisive victory. The Philadelphian entered the contest with every appearance of confidence. He smiled at Gr1f1n's futile efforts to handle his severe service, and ap- peared even to toy with his opponent, rtterly fearless of the sting that was to be returned.
 It looked black for Griffin in the early stages of the first set, and al- though the match had the place of honor on the courts, it appeared as if a better selection could have. been mado for a better contest, Williams had all the earmarks of being invinci- ble. He rattled through game after game, with the Coast star offering only feeble resistance. Leading at 5-1, it remained only for Williams to take another game to c,inch the set That game was destined never to be his s'
 Griffin began to crawl up on bis ri- val. He ran his total up to three games, to four games, and then Will Hams, awake to his danger, put forth a determined effort to check the rally. Griffin had twice broken through wil- liams's service, and now on his own service snatched away a. love game.
 William M. Johnston national sin- g1es champion, scored two victories, and in neither was l.e pressed to ex-, tend himself. In. the first round he defeated James s. O'Neale, Jr., 6-2, |6-, and in the second round he dis posed of Horace Taylor of Longwood, |6tS, Ga

fandom, that the last games shall be on Labor day, when people have come back from their vacations to take up the serious things of life.
 The argument that big league teams find it a paying proposition does not apply to the minors. Possibly, inter est engendered by the closing days of the big leagues pennant battles and the prospective worlds series tend to divert interest from the minors What ever the cause, it's a~condition that Eastern league magnates have to meet. They may continue to Sept. 16. but if they do they will pocket a loss of about $1,500 apiece in addition to the money already sunk.

again until Sunday when two games will be played with Springfield.
 It is pleasure to watch Mike Fla herty catch. The stocky Bridgeport backstop handled Walsh cleverly yes- terday and put the ball on Flynn in quick time in the seventh. His catch of Lows foul in the ninth was another life saver.
 Otto Deininger made the prize catch of the day when he got under Lows twisting fly in the fifth. The veteran had to make a long run and take the ball with his back to the diamond.
 Another good bit of deIding was con- tributed in the sixth when Deininger knocked down Riconda's smash and tossed to Walsh who dashed over to cover the bag. They got the runner by step.
 The Giants can lose in the American league just as well as in the National. They blew off an exhibition game to Cleveland yesterday. Poor pitching was served as usuaL Sid Mercer in the New York Globe says the Giants have sore crack pitchers. They al- ways crack about the eighth inning.
 Somebody is sure to draft Harry Donovan, the New Haven pitcher. He has been turning in some great exhi- bitions lately and yesterday he reeled off a one hit game. Players say Don- ovan has more stuff than any pitcher in the league.
 Wild Bill Donovan is not at all in as a pitcher. He went in yesterday when the Yankees played an exhibi- tion game at Buffalo and held the In- ternational leaOers to two runs in five innings. Incidentally it looks as if Ray Fisher is through. The former Hartford boxman was soaked hard by Buffalo and had to be yanked out.
