BERNSEN'S HIT BREAKS
 HEARTS OF CHICK FANS

Barger had robbed him of a triple to right field. Lewis squeezed liner from his bat that was ticketed for one base at least. This time, however, the hostile first baser managed to pull his drive into safe territory and Stew enson scored from second with the run that broke the locals hearts.
 Tn the ninth the Chicks went all to smash The infield bobbled and slept on plays. Canavan lost command of the ball, hitting one batter and pass ing another. When the returns were all in the visitors had added three more runs to their advantage. As matter of cold, hard truth, they could have added million more, for the Russwood regiment was through ab solutely and completely after the men of Moley broke the ice and scored their first r,Iu in the eighth

Barons Whitewash Memphis Chicks

Alta Boy Slappie. We knowed you had it in you, kid. Watch the old boys smoke from now on. The hotter it gets, the better Slap pitches, so it must have been 100 in the shade at Memphis yes terday.
 In all three Southern league games yesterday the losing club was hianked. and in two of the battles the score was 1 to 0. The contest in Little Rock must certainly have been pippin.
 Tom Stevenson took a fancy to Cana vans southpaw shoots and incidentally boosted his batting average about 15 points during the day.
 The Pelicans broke their losing streak after it had gone to five games, when Buck Weaver beat Zeke Lohman in a hurling duel. Weaver and Torkelson are the stars of the New Orleans mound corps.
 Memphis club officials are making strenuous efforts to bolster the crippled Chicks and have already succeeded in getting young third sacker by the name of John Cerney from the White Sox. Tom
 Watkins, president of the club, is now in St. Louis conferring with Branch Rickey Cardinal manager. Dick Robertson, pitching for Washing ton yesterday, was knocked out of the box by the Red Sox.
 Earl Hamilton was the hero of the Pirate-Cub game. Earl not only held the Bruins for 10 frames, but he drove in the winning tally himself. Charles Webb Murphy, former owner of the Chicago Cubs, but lately only a minor stockholder, wants to can Charley Mitchell for the poor showing of the l team thus far William Wrigley, Jr,, | the new owner, merely laughs at Murphy 1 in his attempts to oust the pilot of last years National league champions. 1 Derril Pratt has been benched by l Manager Huggins of the New Yankees l and Fewster a young Keystoner, is hold 1 ing down his job.

 The two hits that were charged
 against the reformed vaudeville
 performer of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
 were of the scratch variety, ter
 ribIy scratchy, in fact One of
 them could have been scored
 either way. The other was an iu-
 field roller which the batter beat
 to first. It came early jh the
 game. the second inning, to be ex-
 act, and no one imagined at the
 time that the Baronial veteran in-
 tended to uncork anything resem-
 bling a hitless classic.
 Opposed to Slapnicka was Hushie Canavana, the off-pawing star of the home guard Hughie was powerful good himself, particularly in the pinckes and inning after inning whizzed by without either side being able to break through for run.
 The first vital break came in the eighth. and it was a costly one. One man was down. Stevenson got his third hit-a safety to right. Duncan grounded to Christenberry, who over- ran the ball in his anxiety to start a double play, and all hands were safe Perfect fielding would have nailed the runner at second without a doubt and it is possible that Lewis would have had time to double the batter at first
 Whether the side could have been retired had Christenberry had better luck on the play is not important, be- cause Ellis who followed in the bat ting order, was an easy out. This would have made the third out, anf no runs would have been over. As il was, the state of affairs brought Bern sen to the plate and he had been hit' ting Canavan hard all afternoon.

LARGE AUDIENCES
 ATTEND LECTURES
Dr. Kirk Speaks on the Stately March of
 Providence

Larger and larger audiences are drawn to pr. Kirk's lectures at the First Pres byterian church every afternoon and night. The lectures are based on the book of Isaiah, and are a close drawr comparison of the conditions in the prophets time and the present. The sub- ject of the lecture last night was 'The Stately March of Providence T am going to talk tonight on the stately march of Providence, in bearing out the prophetic statements of Isaiah. ' said Dr. Kirk. "The prophet had warned the people that Assyria would sweer down on them, but they had remained secure in the false belief that their rash alliance with Egypt would render them invincible
 Isaiah had long before pointed ou, the folly of such an alliance, but the people could not see it, until the As syrian had swept down in overwhelm- ing numbers. utterly routed the insignifi- cant forces of the Egyptian king, and brought his victorious army to a halt at the very gates of the Holy City.
 LINE UPON LINE
 Then, indeed. the people felt that every stroke of the battering ram against the gates of the city, every arrow shot ONCi liiC VI dilS was hlHe upOll llH6, pre- cept upon precept,' in the great lesson they were to learn.
 Then, when the people had about given up hope, and the king lay prone on his face in the council chamber they sent to the prophet, whose words of warning they now remembered, for ad- vice. And he sent them back to the king with the message, Before they en- ter the City of God they shall be called b,ol {1 tINt, 1~, they were.
 PRUSSIAN ARMY
 But now let us consider the relation between this huge, arrogant Assyrian army and the Prussian army. I told you last night about the statement Gen eral Foch made when many expressed not made at once last July. He said, When the turtle extends it's head far enough, the ax will fall.
 So it was with the Assyrian army. They stuck their head out too far. They got too far from home to have much influence there, and a revolution started. Rumor of that was what reached Sargon, at the head of the army, and one morn ing the people were rendered speechless with amazement to see the Syrian hosts fading away in the distance, the siege abandoned.
 You can possibly imagine their joy. They had been through the trying fire of realism, and when they saw the teach ings of the prophet, memories of their one-time religion and worship were re- vived. The whole country underwent Q great religious awakening.
 And yet, we find that 15 years later the moral tide of these people was at lower ebb than 1t ever had been. The vital question today is How are we going to react from this immediate post bellum influence"
 "One class of our people just now want to do away with what they believe. The other class wants to keep what they don't believe. The thing to do is to keep in the middle of the road.
 Some of our friends of the laiety state that the country is now in the worst moral condition it has ever been, but 1 say, friends, that the present time is the greatest in the history of the world for the spreading of the word of God"
