BOSTON, Nov. 16.-Billy Sunday
changed his tactics yesterday. He laid
aside the spectacular athletics which
accompanied the first two days of his
campaign and substituted impersona
tions. Those of his hearers who came
to see him stand on the pulpit, strip off
his coat or telephone defiance to the
devil missed these exhibitions, but they
enjoyed, none the less, his spirited
mockery of snobbish ''society" women
and church going hypoerites. Not a
single instant did he fail to hold their
eyes and this remarkable man carried
his congregations time after time to
the point of hearty, sympathetic APP
plause.
Guess we II get along all right
now,' he said repeatedly.
The afternoon crowd totalled $500
more than 5000 more than the proceed
ing day. The night crowd was 1900,
about $500 below capacity.
