Priest Waits Fifty
Years To See Reds
Play; Stays At Home

MARIETTA, O., Oct. 9.--Ever since
he played with the Cincinnati Reds
when the team won its first champion
ship in 1869, the Rev. Il. NJ. Woesman,
pastor Of st. Mary's Catholic church
here, vowed no would never witness a
worlds series contest until the Reds
were contenders for the championship
Of the world. He played with the old
champions so years ago as utility out
fielder during his college days at Gin
cinnati.
When Cincinnati won the National
league pennant Rev, Woesman set aside
$50 and eagerly anticipated seeing as
many Of the worlds series games as
posslble-but to date he has not wit
messed q single contest. Just when he
was ready to leave for the opening game
he decided that the church needed the
$50 more than he needed to see the
baV games and he converted the amount
to the church cemetery fund.
Members of the church, who discov-
cred Father Woesman's act. started to
raise a fund by popular subscription
but the priest would not consent.
