AMERICAN FRIENDS
ANNUAL REPORT

The first annual report of the
American Friends Service Committee
has been issued and is of special in
terest because it represents the ac-
tivities of the Religious Society of
Friends (Quaker) during the first
year of the war.
The English Friends started a sim
liar work Immediately after the war
broke out in 1914. The American
Friends helped them until our own
country entered the war.
The report is interesting and well
compiled. 1t is illustrated through
out. A section of the report says:
During six months of the past year
about 40 of the 400 Friends workers
were engaged in the Somme and
field of operation. The houses in this
section, destroyed in the battle
of March, 1918, were the only
ones lost by the Friends Ex-
petition since its beginning in
1914 1t is gratifying that the
a very small proportion of the total
Friends work in France. 1t is more
important, however, to remember
that the fundamental values of the
work were not lost. The people had
to live somewhere and it was a
choice between ruins, or the terri
bic tenements of the cities. One of
the workers in this region writes:
I'VE went to mend houses; but the
reason we wanted to mend houses
was that it would give us a chance to
try to mend hearts. Much of our
work on the houses has been lost;
but / do not believe that any amount
of cannonading will break down what
ever influence we had on these peo-
pies hearts.
when the end came and the mate
rial works were lost, the best of all
remained--that best which was the
inner purpose of it all. Neighbor-
illness, friendship, kindness, sympa-
are made of stuff which
no chemistry of war can crush"

Kill Sunday Sport Bill;
Crimps Baseball Plans

Albany, n. Y, March S.--Any
chance of the proposed Sunday base
ball bill becoming a law in New
York state for this season was ~
ed, when members of the upper
branch of the State Assembly voted
to sidetrack the measure for an
indefinite period. Senators in eau
Gus agreed not to have the bill in
troduced in the Senate at this term.
1t has already been proposed in the
lower branch, but cannot pass un-
less given favorable action in the
Senate as well.
The action of the Senator's in
pigeon holing the bill, comes as a
surprise to hundreds of citizens who
had worked hard in the interest of
the measure. No later than yester-
day, City Magistrate McQuade, of
New York, came here to lobby for
the bill, and had been advised
the law had good chances of passing.
He argued with legislators, that the
games on Sunday would furnish
thousands of workers with innocent
amusement and besides the Govern
nnent and war charities would bene-
fit considerably through the special
taxes on receipts of Sunday games
under the wording of the law

'BODE TO PLAY
WITH YANKEES
Athletic Manager Gets George
Burns as First Baseman;
Other Deals

Philadelphia, March S.-Despite
rosy rumor's fond hope, Ping Bodie
will not play first base for the Ath-
letics this season. Ping Bodie will
not even play left field for the Ath-
letics this season. Last night while
the city slept, Manager Connie Mack
indulged in his favorite pastime of
dropping a bombshell on local fan
dom. He announced that he had
traded Ping to the New York
Yankees in exchange for Tioga
George Burns, who it seems, was
purchased from the Detroit Tigers
by the Yanks for the express pur-
pose of this trade.
Ends First Base MuddIe
The Bodie transfer solves the Ath-
letics' first base problem, but may
be regretted by Pings many friends
in the left field bleachers. AS a ma
tive OF this city, Burns promises to
be very popular performer at Shibe
Park. He is resident of Tioga,
and little more than a month past
his Gath birthday. Mr.. Mack stated
last night that he has not been called
to the service.

a special train, carrying sixty or
seventy players and guests, was used,
but this year the government noti-
fed club officials that curtailment

Gun Pointing is the
Result of Training

Shooting a revolver in the west
ern manner, with movement of hand
too fast for the eye to follow, is in
reality juggling a pistol, and mus
cles and nerves must undergo the
same training as those of p juggler
who keeps half a dozen balls in
the air with one hand.
The wing-shot who aims by point
ing also juggles his weapon in a
way, though the training necessary
to do this is not so severe because
the movements are not especially
rapid. Nevertheless he undergoes
degree of training that insures
his weapon being aligned automatic
ally or without conscious effort be-
fore he becomes an expert shot.
When he has reached a stage
where none of the moveme ents of his
piece require conscious supervision,
then they are said to be instructive,
though instinct has nothing what
ever to do with it; it is training
pure and simple.

Reading Tossers Set Pace
Even If Not Flag Winners;
League Contests. Hard

Reading, March S.-Even if the
Reading high cage team does not
win the pennant in the Central
Scholastic League race, the club may
almost equal the record made by
the 1916-17 champions, as far as
won and lost games are concerned.
Last years Central League title
holders won 20 games out of 2S
starts. Up to this time the local
contenders have copped Is games
and lost eight and there are a few
more dates on the schedule.
The present combination won IL
out of it's last 16 games, which
shows how quickly the team de-
veloped. When it is considered
that this years quintet is composed
of green material, tts record is
more remarkable than the success
won by the championship aggrega-
ton.
1t is not a team of "homers" as
seven out of the IL games on for
eign courts have resulted in vic
tories. Three of the five games lost
have been to Central League clubs
while the others were at York and
Baltimore.
This years team faced a stronger
schedule than the champions. On
the whole the Central League is
much stronger this season than last
year. Barring Reading, every other
five is veteran combination. No
team was shot to pieces by gradua-
tion like the Red and Black COM
bination and the players are deserv-
ing of a lot of credit for their re-
markable work this season.

Harrisburg Academy to
Play F. and M. Cage Team

The Harrisburg Academy five will
go to Lancaster tomorrow to play
Franklin and Marshall Academy in
their annual game. The latter is
anxious for revenge for their defeat
in football last fall at the hands of
the local eleven.
The two teams have not met this
year and there is a good deal of
interest in the coming struggle. The
Academy will present its regular
lineup of Wren and DeVore, at for
ward; Weigle at center and Newlin
and Miller in the guard positions.
Wescott may accompany the team
as first substitute.
Academy did not play last week
against the Gettysburg College fresh
man as the game was Cancelled. The
Academy had several men unable
to play and Gettysburg also had
some men out of the game. The
Academy has had hard luck in this
respect as it has been necessary to
cancel three games.
