BAPTISTS ENGAGE
PACIFIC STEAMER
Boatload of Missionaries to
Sail for Orient Next
August, Is Report.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 81. tSpl)-
Following the larger number Of volun-
teers offering themselves for foreign
mission service and the ampler mission
funds made available from the Baptist
$4,000, 900 campaign. the entire pas
senger facilities OF one OF the large
ans Pacific steamers plying between
Seattle and the Orient has been en-
gagged by the foreign mission board Of
the Southern Baptist convention for
next August, it is announced by DR.. T.
b, Ray, associate secretary Of the mis-
sion board and survey director of the
10000, 600 campaign. the space to be
occupied by a hundred new missionaries
and thetr families who will be assigned
to fields in China and Japan.
This means that the liner will have
no passengers aboard save Baptist mis-
sionaries and DR.. l.. r. Scarborough,
general director of the campaign, de-
clares this is the largest number of
missionaries to go put from a single
denomination at one time, aboard one
vessel, in the history of foreign mis-
sions, and that 1t is the first time in
the history of the world that an entire
vessel has been chartered for the mis-
sionaries OF a single religious faith.
And while this shipload OF new mis-
sionaries viii be assigned to the two
fields of China and Japan, where the
work done heretofore will be greatly
enlarged, a number of other mission
aries will go forth at the same time to
the other eight foreign fields occupied
by Southern Baptists, though the ex-
tent of the other fields and their scat
tered locations are such that 1t will be
impossible for those missionaries to sail
together in such large numbers as 60
to the Orient, A total of 500 new mis-
| glnnQFinG will Oh IN tho fnraf0n f4nldu
occupied by Southern Baptists as a re-
suit OF the SIS. 900, 900 campaign, though
not all of them will be appointed the
first year.
In addition to the number Of mission
aries to be sent out from America as a
result Of the campaign, the force of ma
tive workers will be increased on every
field. Already the foreign mission
board has appointed q of the best
trained young men in the new republic
Of Czecho-S lovakia to special evangel-
istic service in their own country.
Approximately 1900 men and womer
have volunteered for missionary anC
other special forms of Christian service
since the SIS, 000, 900 campaign was
launched. n the enlarged work of the
denomination made possible through
the campaign will require the services
of all these and the others that are t
follow, DR.. Scarborough believes.
Many Of the churches are not waiting
for Victory week, Nov. Bodice. 7, t
begin their drives for funds and sub.
scriptions, but have decided to do the
work nov in order that they may re.
lease their forces to assist othel
churches during Victory week. AND
every church that has taken its sub.

ship mystery"
| DASHED ON ROCKS
Launching Attempted by Skip
per Byrnes and Boat
Careens to Sidewalk

"Old Simon, don't go to the old light
house tonight; there's a rough sea blow
ing beyond the hook; the Betsy Jane
will be dashed on the rocks and Helen
Montague, proud beauty, shall perish"
Thus might the skipper Of the good
ship Mystery paraphrased the passage
from ''Shore Acres" for the good ship
Mystery, in which Skipper Byrnes was
to have sailed beyond the hook OF Mud
island for his second, or perhaps third,
honeymoon early Friday morning, was
dashed upon the rocks Of Monroe ave
nue. arr now lies on her port side on
the sidewalk, ear the fire department
headquarters.
She is believed to have been little
damaged.
Her skipper, free of the restraint Of
legal proceeding, for at least the time
being. attempted to launch the mystery
craft early Friday. He tried to get a
Patterson Transfer company truck to
do the job, but business elsewhere pre-
vented. The then signed a release from
the transfer company, as it feared there
might be some danger of wreck, and
tried to move the boat himself.
Amateur drivers and roughness of the
pavement did the business. Instead of
taking to the water, the boat slipped
from the skids on the truck used, and
careened to an ignominous launching on
the Monroe avenue sidewalk.
Whether the vessel will be taken to
the dry docks of Madison avenue, near
Forrest park, where 1t was built, or
whether attempts to launch 1t In its
present state will be made, still are
wrapped in the mystery Of the minds
who conceived II.

Yale Club Player Eliminated
in Glass B. Championship
Squash Tourney.

Quite a surprise was sprung in the
third round of the National Squash Ten
mis- Associations annual Class b cham
pionshlp tournament in the Harvard Club
yesterday when G. J. Mcguire OF the
Yale Club. one OF the most promising
players for the honors. was eliminated.
The Eli player, who was 50 successful in
all his other matches. was downed by
H. L. Harvey. the youthful Princeton
Club player. in straight games by rS--l3.
15--10.
The match. which lasted close to one
hour, was hotly contested from start to
finish. The fact that Harvey took the
lead at the start IN both games and held
command throughout did not prevent
the Yale player from doing his best.
Mcguire played creditable game. He
tried just as hard in the final hand as
he did in the initial. However. he was
unable to cope with the speedy and hard
dr. wing OF Harvey.
The other players who advanced into
the semi-f1nal round were Htrold W.
Carhart OF the Yale Club and his team
mate, J. r. Tomlinson. Carhart who is
the favorite for the title, defeated John
w. Burden of tho Harvard Club in hard
fought match, 1s--l7. l5--s. Tomlinson
