SUBLIME HEIGHTS To
MARvElS Of SCIENCE

It Ia hard to believe that the 7. NJ.
c. A. auditorium will be large enough
to hold the crowd that will hear the
Rev. S. Park Cadman. II D., former
pastor OF the Metropolitan Temple. in
New York. noted IN England and
America for his wonderful pulpit ora
tory.
What will you do IL the crowd can
not get In this auditorium, which will
seat about $50 peopleT' was asked OF
Secretary Mckee, of the Y. NJ. c. A.
by a Richmond newspaper man who
had heard DR.. Cadman lecture.
Why Richmond people did not fill
the auditorium of the High School
building when lecturer OF equal fame
was here" was the answer. land
suppose this room viii seat the four
hundred and nifty people we expect
TO hear the visitor"
AT this 5uncture a prominent Presoy-
terrain minister present declared that
in his youth he had spent the sum of
Atty cents to hear Henry Ward Beecher
and that 1t had followed him through
life. Today. he said. he would not
take ten dollars FOR having heard
Beeoher. Yet" he added, DR. cadman
lis the Henry Ward Beecher' OF today.
There la no other pulpit orator that
4 know OF that can equal his wonder
full eloouence."
DR.. Cadman filled the Metropolitan
Temple to overlooking In the city OF
New York. In Chicago the question
Ia where hall can be obtained that
will hold his listeners. In London the
same question is asked when DIR. Cad
man Is to lecture. In Montreal II Is
the same.
That this famous lecturer consented
to come to Richmond 10 due to the eff
forts of the Anti-Saloon League, which
Is conducting q series OF lectures by
prominent speakers. DR.. Cadman's lee
lures cover a field that runs from the
most remarkable discourses on science
to the sublime heights OF spiritual
possibilities. He Is an orator of such
magnetism, such force, such striking
and convincing power as to make him
a marked man in the history of two
continents. This Ia the man that 10 to
appear here tomorrow night Rich
mond people have this opportunity to
hear him. There are only four hundred
and fifty seats that can be occupied.
II would be wise TO look we'll to Sc
curing a seat early II you want to
hear the most powerful and forceful
speaker that has been here In many
days.

BIG VIRGINIA BY
SENT To ATLANTA

Philadelphia. Feb, 27.--The names of
Ave students in the Connie Mack
school OF baseball knowledge were
erased from the rolls of the Athletics
today. Three pitchers and two in
fielders made up the quintet of youths
turned loose for further schooling
While Manager Mack announced that
they were released, chances are that
not merely strings, but cables are at
tached to them. so they may be re-
called ust as soon as they show major
league ability.
The quintet disposed of and their
new places of abode are: Pitcher Will
bur Davis to Atlanta, of the Southern
League: Pitcher Harry Eccles. to the
Baseman Harry Damrau, to the Ra-
leigh IN. c. League team. and Short
stop Harry C. Seibold to the Wheel
Ing Central League team: Pitcher Wal
ter Ancker to Asheville. OF the North
Carolina League.
Davis is a Dig Virginian, who has yet
to cast his first vote. He is a whale
of youth, a natural ball player and
some day should be a great pitcher.
About all that he lacks at the present
time is experience. He was with the
Athletics throughout the 1915 season,
twirled in a number of games, showed
great natural ability. but lacked the
polish essential to wearing a big
league uniform. Mack believes Davis
will be ripe for the fast set after this
years experience with a team of the
class of Atlanta of the Southern
League. Davis is a right handler.

BY JESS WILLARD.


New York. Feb. 27.--Well. my first
day OF training is over, and all I can
say is that it wound up finding me fit
as a fiddle. Training is not so strenu-
Gus for me as many believe. | never
allow myself to get soft and flabbS,
which would necessitate real hard
work to whip myself back into condi-
ton. After I was fortunate enough
to become champion. I made VOW
that never would this young man fol-
low the errors of others and take life
so easy that 1t would be painful to
train.
What pleased me most after Sat-
urday's workout was the kind treat
ment the newspaper boys handedt me.
From the manner in which they spoke,
am satisfied that / pleased them.
1t must impress any person who Is
able to Judge condition that removing
few pounds from my frame won't
be such terrible Job. Here I have
practically four weeks ahead of me
to get in condition, and I could easily
DO IL in half the time.
When I arose this morning I felt
somewhat disappointed that l would
work. Not that wanted to violate
the sanctity OF the Sabbath--far from
that; but now that have started work,
I'll not e satisfied until wind up the
long schedule~--The~d day was so beau
1iful and the afr so brisk and sharp
that had the pleasure OF doing q
whole lot OF road work.
No Work ON Sunday.
In doing this work I had to act like
a kid, breaking into little jog when
no one was nearby. and settling down
