UNITED CHAPEL

The students Of Upper Chapel
united with those of Main Chapel
Sunday night in listening TO the
R,v. DR.. Barton of Chicago, one of
the trustees, who delivered a very
good and inspiring address on why
we are needed. and the preparation
that every one should make to be
ready to. fill that need. His sermon
brought many TO realize that there
was really a need for them, and
filled them with new purpose
and a determination TO be Of service.

PI EPSILON PI

The girls Of Pi Epsilon Pi enjoyed
another OF those programs, which
is so characteristic of the society
last Saturday night, March 81. The
numbers appearing were:
Solo ............... Edith Frost

The Part the Women Are
Playing in the War :. l.. Stamm

.......... Marjorie Andrews
The program was rather short
since some time was given TO the
Of parliamentary drill,
which was quite beneficial to all.
We feel that the "Pi" girls are de-
voting considerable time and thought
TO the society this year, and can
clearly see fruitful results.

CLIMB OF SOUTHPAWS
Work of Left Handlers Marks De-
veIopment Of Baseball.
Babe Ruth OF Boston and Ferdle
Schupp Of New York Were Most
Effective Pitchers In Their Re-
speetive Leagues.

Babe Ruth OF the Red Sox and Fer
die Schupp of the Giants We're the
most effective pitchers In their re-
spective leagues during the past sea-
son. and both of them are left-handers.
This is one of the things that marks
the development of baseball.
In the early days of the game a
southpaw was rare article. The
National league was organized In
1876, and during its first ten years of
existence there were, so far MS we
know, just about seven good left-hand-
ers In fast company. These were Rich
mond, Baldwin, Shaw, Morris, Casey,
Ramsey and Cushmun.
Today there are ten times that many
port-siderS on the reserve lists of the
two big leagues. No pitching staff is
considered complete without at least
couple of good ones. Yet, in 40
years Of organized baseball it is prob
able that not over fifty southpaws real
ly have made good.
It's easy to look back and recall
most of the better ones since those
early days. 1t Is short list: Breiten-

Young, Rusie, Nichols, McGinnity,
overall, Donovan, Mullln, Walsh,

dell belongs in this class and so does
Wlltse, one of the greatest of south
paws and a pitcher who never was
given the general recognition he de-
served.
In the eight years previous to last
season only twice did left-hander
top one of the big leagues in the rec
ords of the pitchers. In 1908 the lead
ers We're Reulbach and Walsh in 1909
they were Camnitz and Mullin, and In
1910 they were Cole and Bender. Mar
guard was the most effective twirler
in the National league in 1911. but

Hendrix and Wood were in front in
1912, Mathewson and Johnson In 1913.
In 1914 Leonard was first In the Amer
lean league and Doak in the National.

in 1915, Marquard and Leonard, there

Finding Of
Gerald Trask
BY Alice E. Ives

Copyright. 1917, by w. G. Chapman)
A tramplsh looking man, seedy, shuf-
fling and unkempt paused before n
brownstone house In the big city.
Thin and haggard, his face looked over
forty years, but close observer would
have said he might he all of 10 years
younger.s 1t was Sunday morning,
for his nights lodging, and al
though II was nearly IL o'clock,
he had so far been unsuccessful in
getting n breakfast. He stopped In
tending to 20 in and ask for something
to eat. A sign at the front door took
his attention. 1t set forth the in
formation that society, evidently of
the "New Thought" order, of which he
had heard vaguely, had headquarters
within.
"We1l see" he said to himself with
n bitter twist of his face which could
scarcely be called smile, "ff their
new thought extends to feeding a
starving man."
He mounted the steps. Someone
opened the door before he could ring,
and also before he could speak, he was
ushered into what had been hand
some, double drawing room, now con.
verted into an auditorium with rows Of
chairs, and reading desk. Quite
a good many people We're already as
sembled, and he thought he might at
tract more attention by turning and
going out than by dropping as quick
ly as possible into seat. He chose
one in corner against the wall where
he could as far as lay in his power
efface himself. AS he did so 1t struck
him for an instant he had been do
ing not much else of late-nothing but
effacing himself. This shabby, un-
tidy, unwashed creature could not be
the happy, ambitious, imaginative boy
named Gerald Trask. No, no, II
couldn't be true. Then he caught him.

self with n sudden wrench. Where
Ing nutty. Perhaps because he had
had nothing to eat. He would better
start up, gee out and try to find some
thing at once.
Just then pretty young woman
began playing n piano softly. 1t was
one of Chopln's wonderful nocturnes,
md she played 1t well. He knew the
music, but 1t was a long time since
he had heard 1t. 1t was when he was
In reality Gerald Trask. Again he
pulled himself up with jerk. There
was certainly something uncanny
about this place that kept floating him
off away from his moorings. But the
music went on. He loved that noe
turne, and he stayed to hear 1t
through.
Then sweet-faced woman rose from
behind the reading desk. When she
spoke her voice had vibrant, com
pelllng ring, and was as pleasant to
hear as her face seemed good to see.
Well he seemed now booked to
see 1t through. A humorous twist came
into his face, for whatever else he
had lost, he still kept much of the
humor of Gerald Trask. 1t certain
ly was at least an unusual experience.
They stood up TO sing, and beauti-
fully dressed lady offered him the
other half of her hymn book. He pre-
tended at first not to see 1t, but when
she pushed it nearer he declined as
politely as possible. Not for worlds
would he have allowed that black
trimmed thumb nail to appear side by
side with the dainty white kid covered
one. This of course was Gerald
Trask bobbing up again. 1t had been
some time since he had even thought
about his finger nails. He wondered
now why they had let him come In
He had passed the big churches, and
seen the well-dressed people pouring
in, and speculated In droll way as
to what might happen If he had gone
up the aisle, and dropped into pew
But he had never tried 1t. And these
people had literally dragged him in
and didn't seem to take any notice Of
