BISHOP JOHN ]. O'CONNOR
TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL

Bishop John j. O'Connor of Newark
thus expresses his approval Of the Red
Cross Christmas roll call:
"A citizen of the United States "a
offer no valid excuse for failure to en-
roll himself In the American Red Cross
Society. An organization whose one
great principle is humanity has the
right to call all men to Its standard.
The Red Cross appeals to the common
human In us. 1t aims at giving fine
words, like sympathy and pity and
mercy, some practical value. The world
has waited a long time for an organi-
zation which could give TO vague feel
ings OF sympathy wide, practical ap-
plication. The American Red Cross
fulflls every requirement of q broadly
humanitarian association. 1t accepts
only universally admitted principles.
1t limits Its operations to nc particu-
lar class. 1t sides with no party. 1t
asks Of its members but two things
that they have pity on suffering wher-
ever found and that they have the will
TO relieve misfortune.
1.-THE appeal Of the Rec Cross for IN
increased membership should be In
stantly needed. The man who fails to
heed this call places himself outside
the pale. He does not feel with his
native land. He Is not one with his
kind. Here is u opportunity to join
I'm n work whic gives tO religion and
Its teaching present value. Place your
names on the rolls OF the American
Red Cross"

WHY AMERICA NEEDS
CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL

George z, Scott, general manager
Of the American Red Cross, thus ex-
plains the necessity for the Christmas
Roll Call:
"The response that the people Of the
United States make when the Christ
mas Roll Call, summons them to a uni
versal membership In the American
Red Cross will, II that response Is ma
ton wide. accomplish these things:
1T will give exalted purpose and
high resolve to the Soldiers and Sail
ors of America.
"It will give encouragement and re-
newed devotion to those who are work
ing here at home.
"It will give inspiration and courage
to those of our people who are labor
Ing overseas"

OUT OF MANY RACES
RED CROSS MAKES ONE

NNE of the greatest services which
the Red Cross is performing In
this war is the unification OF the
many races Of which America Is com
posed through the Home Service,
which, through its 10000 committees,
Is looking after the welfare Of the sol
dicrs' families in every corner Of the
country. America has always been
called the Melting Pot, and truly, but
the process has been slow. The war
has accelerated II. The Indians of the
west, the negroes Of the south, the ltal-
Ians and Eastern Europeans Of our in
dustrial centers, the Mexicans Of the
Southwest, Armenians and Swedes and
Norwegians and Japanese and Iceland
ers-all are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly In the
val because IL was Americas war and
they are Americans.
That they feel this Is patent to those
who have seer and talked with these
men. Witness the Italian, who in the
assembly hall of one of u mobiliza-
ton camps was waiting with a group
of his fellows to take the oath Of al
legiance. He stepped forward sudden
~ with tears In his eyes and with a
vivid gesture pressed q corner Of the
American flag that hung over the desk
In front OF him to his lips. A group Of
native born soldiers who had been
looking on with amused Indifference
broke into applause and cheers. From
then on these Italians were their
brother Americans.
Such work as this Is valuable not
only for the morale Of the men 1t Is
binding the nation into one organic
whole as II has never been bound be-
fore. To give concrete expression to
this unity the Red Cross plans through
Its Christmas Roll Call, to be held the
week beginning December 16, to in
crease It's membership from 22,000,-
900 to the limit of available member
ship. 1t wishes TO give In this way no.
tice 70 the world that every American,
irrespective Of creed or birth, stands
squarely and uncompromislngly for the
principles for which we have been
fighting-that America Is one and in
Invisible pledged solidly for honor and
mercy andsgood faith.

RED CROSS CARRIES TONS
OF FOOD TO BELGIANS

American Red Cross trucks are con-
stantly In action along the Belgian
front. This report of the work of
these trucks was recently received by
the Commission for Belgium:
sTni the last two weeks we handled
240 tons of foodstuffs and q large
Quantity Of s31vaged material.
"We'have been saving the effects of
people In the 'shelled towns. Fumes,
Abeele. Coxyde, La Panne, Alvering-
hem, Dost-D unrick, the Trappist Farm,

LEAGUE LEADERS

Brown, Trautwein and

Points to Records
HARRY FRANCkLE GAINS

The leaders in the American Basket
ball League race for scoring honors had
a big falling off this week, so, 1gura-
lively speaking. the slump was conta-
gious, hitting all at once else there may
have been another player supplanting
Jimmy Brown. of ST. Columbia, at the
head Of the list
Brown, together with Powell and
Trautwein, Of Hancock. have averaged
nine points to a game. They were pitted
against each other on Monday evening
and the best they could do was 3, ana
e. respectively. Calhoun, of NictriN,
who occupies position No. a. gained a
couple Of points, but Harry Franckle,
of Dobson. not only jumped into fifth
place over Mocky Bunnin, but is with
in II Of first place.
The star Eastern League players OF
Midvale are not breaking any records
Is yet and the leader of the quartet is
Doc" Newman, and at that he has
only run up II points in two games,
which is nothing to brag about
The feature in the teau scoring was
tho fact that Yours Truly has taken a
boost in this department and has pressed
NictriX, roing into fifth place. Hancock
easily maintains its reputation as the
leaders in defense.
The individual averages arc annerdcd.

RAIN WON'T HALT
MACk'S TRAINING
Connie Says Pitchers Will
Drill in Upper Pavilion
in Bad Weather
NOT TO CHANGE PLANS

The Athletics will not take their usual
jaunt below the Mason-Dixon Line to
indulge in their spring training. That
much has been decided upon by the club
officials and no matter what the other
members OF the major league do in this
line the MaCkmen and other future
greats will get in condition right here
in this town. at Twenty-first street and
Lehigh avenue.
Connie Mack has devoted much of his
spare time to this spring-training prob
lem and the tall tutor and what-not be-
lieVes he has reached a satisfactory
answer. No matter if the rain drops
descend, as they usually like to do in
April, the Mackmen will continue to
drill In the rain? No, not exactly!
Listen to what Manager Mack has to
say on the subject:
1--WE have facilities few clubs have for
training. Even on rainy days or at
times when the field is too muddy for
work, my pitchers can timber up in
the long. wide aisle in the upper pa
NiiOn that leads to the seats.
There Is lots of room in this aisle,
and twenty pitchers can work there
without difficulty. 1t is just as light
there as on the playing field, and the
players will get plenty of pure air.
1t will be just like working outdoors,
only on dry surface with shelter over
head.
My men will get together around
Aprll ] and will be in good condition
when 1t is time to open the spring Sc
ries"
While Connie forgot to mention the
iacl. he evidently was thinking that as
most Of his players had seen some of
the life in the army and navy they
wouldn't feel at home running around
in 4 warm climate with a chance to fsh
and pick nice juicy oranges in their
leisure hours.

Quaker Officials Ventme
Brauely Ont to Frame
1919 Football Dates
Without Major Pickering
II DON'T KNOW" SLOGAN
By EDWIN ]. POLLOCK

CH-H-IT-H! Gather close and lend
- both ears. It's n deep, dark secret
that's going to mystify. startle, surprise
the sporting world and cv'rythin'. The
Penn football schedule for 1919 is being
framed Yes. sir, It's fact And
FRAMED is the right word.
For some time the Red and Blue Off
cials openly and frankly and earnestly
declared without hesitation that nothing
was Being done toward listing the dates
for next fall and it was believed that
the Quakers were awaiting the discharge
of Major Mylin J. Pickering, the gradu-
ate manager, who is now in the avia-
tion corps at Garden City. But Major
Pickering Is likely to he detained in the
service for several weeks, and the Penn
bosses are venturinE boldly forward
without the man who has aided them
in the last two years.
Shrouded in secrecy, clothed In mys-
terry and all that, the work on tho sched-
ule Is being done behind closed doors N
a room that is sound-proof and dicta-
phone-proof. The only thing leaking
through the cracks in the doors and

Baseball News Apleniy
The University council on athletics
