CHICAGO LOSES A GAME

The usual spirit of optimism
seems to pervade the training
camps of American League ball
clubs, if reports from places
where the players are getting in
shape are tc: be taken at their
face value. That the managers
of teams are just starting to get
their men in shape seems to make
no difference, as probably the
various clubs know better new
than in number of years just
what material they will have with
which to open their season,-the.
war causing them to throw their
dependence in the main on men
whose true worth already Is
known. --s~

LARGELY ATTENDED
Entering Second Week Of The
Methodist Meeting. Rev.
Fain's Sermons are ForcefuI
and Impressive. Good Music
Has Added TO the Services.

In spite of April showers and the cod
weather which so often proves a barrier
to the would be church goers, the
attendance during the past week at the
Methodist revival services has been
unusually large. In fact every evening
save one the auditorium and Sunday

filled.
The meeting which opened Sunday

otherwise announced. On Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. Fain preached especial
ly to the young people and children and

ter, possessing a personality that is
pleasing to his hearers and he breaches
the gospel in such an impressive and
forceful manner that any one with an
open heart and mind could not help but
believe in the Creator and His love.
Another feature which has added
greatly to the meeting is the music.
Mr.. Reynolds OF Greenville who is the
song leader and well known drought
out Kentucky has organized Junior
choir for the time being and with the
assistance of the Senior choir, the sing
ing has been very much appreciated.
Mr.. Reynolds has a special musical
number for each service.
