LOCAL METHODIST
CHURCHES SHOW UP
ExCELLEFTREPORTS

An excellent report Of the Metho-
dist churches in the city and county
will be made by Presiding Elder r.
A. Moody, who is in the city at pres
ent for the purpose of holding the
last quarterly conference before the
annual session of the Alabama confer
ence convenes in Dothan on Novem-
Der 2sth.
It has been learned that the First
Methodist church, on East Wright
street, in addition to being in good
financial condition. will be reported
with an increase in membership of
1877 persons; the Gadsden Street
Methodist, on East Gadsden street,
will be reported with an increase Of
n members, while the Methodist City
Missions will show an increase of
fifteen members. Each of the
churches named are in good financial
condition, it is said. Rev. D. P
Slaughter is pastor Of the First
Methodist; Rev. w. Rice is pastor
of the Gadsden Street church. and
Rev. Claude P. Roberts is in charge
of the Methadist missions.
With the exception Of Rev. Mr.
Roberts, local Methodists have been
served two years each with the same
pastors, both of them deservedly pop
ular with all classes. and it is ex-
pected they will be returned by the
bishop for another years work in
this city. 1t is also believed that the
city mission worker viii also be sent
back here for another years service
Methodist ministers may not serve
church, and it has been known that
their respective service has been cut
TO but one year, but where service
shows ren,lts, as the local churches
do SO nicely, it is almost an invar-
liable custom of the bishop to return
them TO the time limit in the respec-
tive charges.

Baseball as played now Is a bed or
roses compared with the conditions that
governed the national pastime twenty
years ago. according to Jack Ryan, vet
eran scout and coach. who caught for
the Brooklyns in the distant past.
He was referring In. particular to the
way the players are treated by the pub
lie when away from home. and he re-
lated an anecdote Of a game which
Boston played in Baltimore twenty
years ago.
Big Jack stivetts was pitching for
Boston. Baltimore was starting TO hit
him hard and Ryan was directed 10
warm up Kid Nichols. In those days
the bullpen was not in a corner of the
field. in full view of the spectators.
In Baltimore the warming UP pen was
between the grand stand and bleachers

on the field. No sooner had Nichols and
Ryan left the field and shed their
sweaters to warm up than eaen was
surrounded by ten or twelve men.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2e.-The assertion
by old-time ball players. so often heard,
that baseball nowadays doesn't bring
out the hard-fought contests nor the
classy baseball ~that the old days" af-
forded has been made so many times
that many a baseball fan believes II.
Figures collected by John E. Foster
seem TO lean just the opposite way.
For instance when Brooklyn and
Pittsburg played their record-breaking
twenty-five inning game IN Brooklyn
recently it was discovered that the long
est major league game on record was
played since the American league came
into the fold Of organized baseball 1t
was played eleven years ago. While
that was a long time back there are
players now in the game who were
playing then and they. for the most
part. are quick to resent the statement
that inferior baseball is played nova
days.
