New York, Feb. 22.-"The Ameri- can league race, in my opinion, will be much closer than last year, said President Ban Johnson before leav- ing New York recently for his home in Chicago. -.i
 "The Red Sox will have to play better baseball to win another pen nant," said Johnson.
 The Tigers and White Sox are bound to improve, while the Browns, Yankees and Washington are expected to make a lot of trouble. Here are Six teams that appear to have chances tn take part in the world series"
 Johnson said that although the Athletics and Indians might start weak there would be a big improve ment in the two teams before the season was over. He warned New York fans not to expect too much of the Yankees just because Huston and Ruppert have broken all records in spending money on players.

The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1916-02-22
BISHOP GUFRRY's SERMON
Appreciative Congregation
Hears Able Discourse.

The Episcopal church was fill
ed Sunday evening with a rep
resentative congregation, made
up of all denomination, who
Sathered to hear the Rt. Rev w.
\. Guerry, bishop of the En-.
lscopal diocese of South Ca,o-
lima. The bishops annual vista
tion to Lancaster is always well
coined for those who have heard
him know that good things are
In store for them when he comes.
Perhaps the most striking SER
mon Bishop Guerry has e.cr
preached here was the one de-
livered last Sunday evening. The
text was Matthew 21 :28-31 and
the parable of the two Sons who
had equal opportunities for ser
vice in the vineyard was applied
to the two types of men, those
who work in the church and
those who stay on the outside
not availing themselves of
church advantages. The bishop
advised the use of some other
term than "joining the church,"
making it plain that we Join the
church at baptism and are there
fore in the church long before we
ratify this ordinance for our
selves and enter actively upon
our church responsibilities. The
speaker drew apt illutrations
from our family and state rela-
tionships, showing how we were
born into the family and the
state and likewise become mem
bers of the church at baptism.
The sermon was an able, earnest
one, logical and convincing. At
the close of the service many of
his hearers availed themselves
of the opportunity of meeting or
renewing old acquaintance with
Bishop Guerry.
