UNCHARITABLENESS

NOTE-Evangelist Rayburn's Wis
it to Monroe wis was not the not
able success that has been recorded
in other places, according to reports
from that city, and his preachings
aroused considerable bitterness
among some of the leading church
denominations, notably the Univer-
salists. In answer to one of Ray
burns published sermons joseph
Wood, prominent churchman Of
Monroe, wrote the following poem,
which was printed the following
week in Monroe newspaper:
There's nothing gained by calling
men hard names;
The outcome of it all, it seems to me
Is that the caller but himself de-
In the esteem of good society.
However widely any honest man
May differ in his views from those |
hold,
Whether in matters sacred or pro-
fame,
That is his privilege-why should l
scold?
Provided he is willing | may choose
The path that seems to me both true
and right,
And does not put himself about to
induce
My neighbors to regard me with
despite.
Sometimes man of fiery eloquence
Forgets. while giving his own views
full vent
There may be other men of conse-
quence
Beside himself, who think quite diff
erent
A candid man treats such with cour-
tesy;
The zealot brands them blatant in
fdels-.
Yet some of them believe much more
than he,
Though not the kind of stories that
he tells.
Not every honest doubter is a villain,
Though Paul pronounced anathem-
as on such)
The danger is far greater for the
million
When ignorance grows pious over
much.
Whatever gods we honor or defame,
Or whatsoever creeds we may avow,
That which concerns US more than
creed or name
Or ceremonial cult. is to learn how
To bear the ills of life with fortitude
And what no human foresight can
prevent
Take graciously in accomplishing
mood,
Accepting what is good with glad
content.

season had to face Colgate, Brown, Princeton and Harvard on successive Saturdays, yet Yale, after the hardest schedule in the country, was stronger at the finish than Harvard was, and apparently fresher. The main trouble is that among too many of these eleVcnS there is too much milk and water and too little blood and iron. Princeton, for example, might have made a far better showing against Harvard and Yale if she had prepared herself by tacllling Pittsburgh, Col gate or Brown before the test. If Harvard had thrown her first eleven against Brown, this added experience might have won the Yale game"
 It doesn't seem that a big university with plenty of reserve material could face at least four hard games in eight weeks. Yale is pretty sure to do it with Colgate, Brown, Princeton and Harvard. Colgate last fall faced Illinois, Syracuse, Yale and Brown without being forced to substitute more than one man in the four games.
 A squad that isn't good enough to face four hard games isn't going to be good enough to win.

fCrty-fVe games a year. And in four out of six years he has won twenty seven games or more. Which is more games than a good many others ever pitch."
 The test of pitching greatness must be based upon quantity as we'll as upon quality The ability to win twelve out of fourteen games means very little compared to the ability needed 10 win thirty games out of forty. Alexander, Mathewson, John son and Walsh-the four greatest pitchers of the last twenty years have always been good for span be- tween forty and fifty games a season.
 And as a rule they rarely packed away less than twenty five victories, not counting the games they saved by rescue work in the closing spasms
 Sheehan, of the Mackmen, last season won one game and lost sixteen. He must have had a queer, not to say dizzy, feeling when he turned in that one triumph.

"All you had to do to tackle : Pitts burgh halfback this fall," remark ed one who saw them play several times, was to knock down the five men who surrounded him in Glen Warmers in reference. Outside of that it was a cinch.''
 Who can answer this? When ball players back in the old days were drawing from $1,S00 to $2,400 a year most of them were keenly interested in developing their games Now, with salaries up around a bulge from $5,000 to $12,00 only, a very few pay any great attention to improving their play.
 Golf clubs composing the United States Golf Association have the chance of their careers ahead to un- ravel this amateur tangle if they will only give the matter a fair amount of serious attention. But the odds are that three -fourths of those interested will pay no attention to the matter until after the vote is in, and then kick in with lusty roars of disapproVal over the final verdict.

For the purpose of acting on approx
mately 200 applications for pensions, the

satisfactory condition, but some of them
will be returned to the probate judges for
corrections. The applicants accepted will

Expect Real Fighting
in Double Windup;
Collins Meets Joe PhaIen

Joe Phalen who meets Charley Col
Inns in the windup feature at the Or

been a big sensation in Philadelphia.
He defeated Joe Hefferman at Ludlow
\. c., two weeks ago, and fought a
draw with Young Jack O'Brien at Lin
coin a. G. last week.
Collins. who is well known to fight
fans in Harrisburg is expected to be a
good match with Phalen as he is con-
sidered one of the toughest in this
part of the country.
Along with these boys julie Ritchey
will meet Terry Martin, ex-welter-
weight champion in the big double
star windup which will feature the
bill.
Three strong preliminaries are also
booked, among them will be Sam
LOCKER of this city who is a rugged
battler and wants to make good. He
will meet Fighting Ben Finafrock of
Lancaster. Both boys are real slug
gers and can stand some stiff punches.

Basketball fans who witnessed last
nights game at Lancaster were of but
one opinion, that Central high is with
out question the best team in the In
terscholastic League. Reading had a
strong lineup and came nearly scar
ing Central out of a victory. Captain
Rote showed good headwork in keep
ing the team together at critical times.
Now that Central has won the
championship in basketball, there is
a strong desire on the part of local
fans to have Central met South Pitts
burgh high champions of Western
Pennsylvania. The game could be
played one week hence. and in the
opinion of many would be n money
maker for the Central Athletic Asso-
citation. Central has never had a
chance at a western team, and Pitts
burgh would decide an important
question.
The major leagues start the season
to day The old baseball pot was boil
ing in 16 cities to-day. This was the
day of DAYS to many fans who have
been working in the winter leagues for
many weeks. The majority of the
managers are optimistic as to the final
result. Pennant pickers are not MAX
ing any rash statements, but hinge
on the work of the teams later on.
Some fans are of the opinion that the
major league team that shows its
heels in the opening week. will be
soaring high three months hence.
