a stirring message to his hearers.
He has had nearly a score OF years
In this kind of work, and thus Is
able to give master stroke. His
preaching will appear stronger and
more effective to you with each
hearing. The rudimentals of the
Christian religion will be presented
in a strong. forceful way. Mrs. Law
is a fine christian character, well
educated and great singer. Her
singing, like Rev. Laws preaching,
is gospel singing.
Rev. Olin F. Pugh, a native OF
Wales, is music director for the
meeting and leader in personal
work. He possesses rich tenor
voice and is a master in his line Of

MACK GETS INJUNCTION
IN PERRY-BRAVES CASE
Action of Athletics Man.
ager Virtually Means
War on National Com
mission

Cleveland, o., June II.
JUDGE MORGAN today granted a
q temporary injunction sought by Con-
Athletics to enjoin the National Base
ball Commission from forcing Scott
Perry to play with the Boston Braves
The suit filed by Mack and the ac-
tion of Judge Morgan is expected to
precipitate another baseball fight with
the commission.
This litigation against the National
commission virtually Is against the Ma
tional League. There are five members
two from the National, two from the
minors and one from the American. Ban
Johnson and the southern representative
voted against sending Perry away, but
player
The injunction seems to be quite i'm
portant and sets at rest~the rumors that
Manager Stallings was willing to take
another player IL Mack wanted to keep
Perry. 1t is believed now that Boston
insisted on taking the twirler because
the club is going good and more pitching
talent is needed.
Just what the outcome will be Is con-
lecture; but 1t looks\ as IL there would
be big split in the ranks of organized
ball II the case Is not settled amicably
on both sides. Connie probably has the
backing of President johnson and the
American League. and 1t is believed the
league will see him through to the finish
A baseball war would not be the best
thing for the game at this time, for the

penses and the crowds are not so large

If the original order stands as 1t was
first announced. both the National and
American Leagues will be so badly dis
organized that readjustment of beth
circuits may be necessary. The club
owners have been busy making plans
and in case there is no exemptions from
the order. it is likely that the baseball
season will be finished with only one
league playing.
1t is believed by many club owners
that the fight-or-work order would mean
that both leagues would have to pool
their players into one eight-club circuit

league is represented by a club. the play

major league players who have retired
from the game would have to be called
upon to fill out the ranks.
