Record, Makes Poor
Showing to Date.

Washington is falling behind in
its record of 'trail-hitting" at the
Sunday Tabernacle. A record Of
the number of trail hitters" who
have gone up the sawdust aisles
since the hitting" began on jan
uary 16. shows a total of 5.1s9 cards
turned in to Fred Buse, the official
statistician of the Sunday party. In
only one other city where the evan
gelist has campaigned since he be-
gan making the big towns" has
the record fallen below this figure.
That was in Omaha, when the books
showed 1885 trail hitters" during
a similar period.
In making the comparisons, only
actual trail hitters'" cards are in
cluded in the count. There were
other persons to accept the invita-
tion to go up front" and openly
profess Christianity, but they either
left the Tabernacle before the ush-
ers could get a record of their
names, addresses and church pref
erences, or the ushers didn't get to-
them.
Here is a table which gives the
trail-hitting records of thirteen cit

Woman Who Saved
Billy Dies in Chicago

The woman who was instrument
tai in converting Billy Sunday to
Christianity died yesterday in
Chicago.
"I thought 1 heard the angels In
Heaven shouting unusually loud
yesterday" the evangelist told his
afternoon audience at the Taber-
nacle yesterday. II didn't know
what it all meant at the time, but
I know now. They were welcom-
ing Mrs. Colonel Clark into the
Kingdom"
Mrs. Clark was the wife of the
superintendent of the Pacific Gar
den Mission out in Chicago where
Billy Sunday was converted thirty
one years ago. "It was Mrs.
Clark" said Billy, who put her
hand on my head and told me of
the joys of living for Christ; it
was she who brought me out of
the darkness Of an empty life ON
the baseball field to a realization
of the real peace and happiness of
Christian life."
The mission is still doing a big
work in Chicago and when the
evangelist goes there next month
to conduct a revival he intends to
turn over to the Mission every
penny the people of Chicago give
me as a free-wilI Offering" The
money thus donated by Billy will
. be used by Col. Clark as the neu-
: cleus Of an endowment fund for
the Mission.

Theatrical STARS
SHOW FOR SOLDIERS
Entire Troupe from Belasco Theater
Amuse Camouhage Boys.

Everything from grand opera Sc
lections to comedy nonsense was on
the program of the show" which
the Peter Ibbetson company pre-
sented to the boys at the American
University yesterday afternoon.
The show was staged in the Y. NJ.
c. A. building. with a setting Of
camoufiage which had been espe-
cially constructed for the occasion
by gifted scenery painters among
the soldiers of the camp.
All of the fifteen members of the
Peter Ibbetson company took part
in the performance, which was a
delightful tumble prepared by
themselves for the occasion.
There was a comedy skit by Jack
Barrymore and Constance Collier.
Nine. Bogislav gave some operate
selections and Nina Russell got OF
some good comedy songs to the
tune of a pianola. Maurice Nicke,
with his violin, and Winifred Bam-
brich. with her harp, added a pleas
ing touch of real music. Alexan-
der LOTUS did some ''recitations''
and James Hagan some com edy
stuff all by himself. Cecil c. Velly
contributed .something called pat
terlogue," which is a sort of fool
ishness which makes you laugh.
Wallace Clark, in a funny mono-
logue, and Jules Epailly and Alice
John. in a playlet, "On to Reno"
completed the program.
Althouh the players didn't get
any pay for their performance, they
were well rewarded by the knowl-
edge that they had given the SOL
diers a good time. Robert w. Bell
producing manager of the District

the playsrs 10 the camp.
