ANNIVERSARY SERVICE TO OLD ST.
Every year in the month of June,
When the roses sweet are fully in

When the woods close-by are clothed in
green.
And the ivy-clad walls don their sum-
mer sheen,
Then the Old Church calls to her chill
dren true,
Come and worship under the Blue.
Far from the noise and tumult of town,
Is this country church of historic re-
nown;
This call that comes in the summer
time,
Is a pious pilgrimage to holy shrine;
Finer than any cathedral spires,
Are the lowly affairs of our sires.
This one calls, my friend. to you,
Come and your sacred vows renew.

Come to worship and don't be late.

through the errors of her partner Mt the
net.
Steady Player
Mrs. Felton's game is not as severe
as Miss Bancroft's. but she is very
steady and extremely persistent in
making returns of balls that start on
point journey. Her service is not
speedy, but she places it rather we'll.
There was one feature of both the
Philadelphia and Boston teams play
that caused much favorable comment in
the gallery. Not one of the four ever
hesitated to take vigorous swipe at the
bail. regardless of the score. Often a
player when on the verge of losing tries
to play safely, with the result that the
shot is so soft that it gives the opposl-
tion a chance to make clean kill. But
this did not occur in yesterdays match.
In the second set. with the score "a
and 1870 against them, Miss Town
send sent the bah with Bjursted like
speed back at Miss Bancroft's feet and
brought the score to deuce. The Bos.
topians got the advantage again and
this time Miss Thaycr repeated Miss
Townsend's performance.
Bostonians Rally
In what proved to be the final game,
the score was love and Go in favor
of the Philadelphians. 1t looked hope :,
less for the Boston pair, but they dld
not waver a second. They continued to
drive with all their power and to take
the net whenever there was an open
ing. In this way they brought the score
to deuce, only to lose, however, after
desperate. and plucky struggle.
Baltimore still has a team in the
doubles racc-Aliss Eleanor Cottman
and Miss Edwarda Gamble. They de-
feated Miss G. l.. Conway and Miss
Eleanor Robb in easy fashion, 81, g..

JACK ADAMS, STAR
CAGE PLAYER, DIES
Played Forward on Famous
Camden Five With Steele, Her.
ron, DoIin and Brown

Jackie Adams. once the most popular
basketball player in the Eastern League.
died yesterday at his summer residence
In National Park, n. j., after long
period of i'll health. He is survived
by widow and one child.
For several years Adams was cap
tain and star forward Of the Camden
five. His last game in the Eastern
League was played at the close of the
season of 191G-17.
Adams was rather slight for basket
ball player, but his unusual vitality
and fighting spirit carried him through
where meiSof larger stature failed. He
was very fast and was one of the most
accurate goal tossers both from the foul
line and field that ever donned an East :
ern League uniform. Several times he
has led the league in both field goals
and fouls, though not both in the same
year.
Although he was but thirty five years
old when he died. for years Adams was
prematurcly gray. This gave him n
unique appearance on the basketball
floor. but didn't seem materially to in :
tcrfere with his play.
Besides being basketball star
on several clubs as shortstop in the
western part of the state.
Adams came here from Homestead
Pa.D basketball team, of the Centra
League. Adams was the idol of the
Jersey fans and it was through hi,
clean cut testimony that the sQuarcncs.
of basketball was upheld in the season
Of 1916. Camden had tied with Read
ing and the play off never took place
owing to II disagreement between the
two teams over seating arrangements.
The charge was made that the race
had been fixed, but Adams .tcstmon,
had considerable to do with proving that
such was not the case. The team that
year was composed of Adams ant
Steele, forwards: Dolin, center; HcrrOr
and Brown, guards. Herrun passeC

The funeral arrangements have not
been announced.

Should Win Division Today
4 and Picked to Enter Finals.
Women Play for Cup
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

pLAY in the last round of each divi
sion went forward today to qualify
for the golf suburban team champion
ship of Philadelphia over home and
home courses.
AS for the three last divisions. il is
understood that two teams will be drawn
of the three that will qualify today for
the semitnals, these two to play If off
next week to enter the finals for the
championship. The draw is the fairest
way, though if the championship Wood
bury team wins its division today. there
is a chance that it will be left out in
the draw, but il would not be very
possible to play it all off. the teams are
satisfied, and it is thus n good way of
solving the unfortunate situation of
FIVE scmtinal teams There are nine
teen clubs in the league at present.
Bala looks to have the toughest match
today, though it is favoritP over HHddon
county. The latter club has victory
over Llancrch, 1924 to GlI, which Bala
beat. 10L to , HaddOn claimed ten
points against Overlook last Wed
nesday on the ground that the lattcr's
team was tardy in arriving at the Jersey
Club, which would give it the match,
Bala beat OverbrOok handily. l2l2 to
51a. and is OUT today to settle the mat
ter by lacing Haddon County.
In Division Il North Hills is n wide
favorite to win the division today. 1t
plays MoOrestOwn, which has been
beaten in every start, and North Hills
has beaten both III" teams which beat
Moorcstown. SO that's that division.
III North Hills and Bala both win to-
day they will meet in the Somfnals. 1t
should be corking match, a. there is
keen rivalry and the teams are about
evenly matched, with many of the city 5
star players on the two clubs.
Aronimink and Philmont meet in the
next division. Both have wide victories
Z chalked up over LansdOwnP and Torres
dale, and a keen tilt is looked for today,
with Aronimink slight favoritc on
Frankford plays Lu I.u, which was
beaten by Old York Road, and Frank
ford has a victory chalked up against
4 Old York Road. That makes Frankfort
the fayorite in its division. To make II
unanimous StentOn beat l.u l.u in 1
wide open shutout, while Franktort
heat Stenton by the safe margin of three
points.
Woodbury., in the last division read
ine downward, expected to have tough
match with Riverton today, but is put
4 ting forth the big effort to win.
i IA IL is hard to predict anything in golf
but the showing OF North hllls' III tehn
and individual play, through the earl,
K season, makes it the favorite to cmerg
a. the eventual champion of the leagu
this year.

Miss Ann r. Townsend. Merton, who

vania and eastern states, seem to have
hit upon a plan whereby neither will
finish the week without having annexed
a title. IF they do meet in the sin
giles finals the match will hardly be a
draw. Tie tennis matches are neither
popular nor frequent. One of the few
on record was staged on Wanamaker's s
roof recently, when Bill Tilden and
Wallace johnson went to the showers
after each had won a couple of sets.
But that isn't the program at the Me-
rion Cricket Club.
Somebody must lose in the singles,
but it looks as though both Miss
Townsend and Miss Thaycr will be
the congratulated pair after the dou-
blcs are over. They play well together
and both are capable OF covering the
net in mastery style. This means that
as virtually all of the net playing
teams have been eliminated, the only
thing apparent that lies between them
and victory is couple of days or SO.
Can Follow Up
Miss Townsends speedy service en-.
ables her to follow it to the net and set
a lot of chances for kills On the hrst
return. She doesn't ulwa?s follow her
delivery in. but when she d"ts clt' er
she or Miss Thayer usually get chance
to give the pill winning smack. =,
Yesterday this spectacular pair, OF
Philadelphia players eliminated their
kccncst rivals-Mrs. Samuel FELTON,.
81. and Miss Leslie Bancroft, both. OF
Boston. in straight sets, Ga and 20.
They did this after they had put Mrs.
Robert. Hcrold and Mrs. II. f. ker-
baugh, the Bclhcld team. out in easy
fashion at GO. Ga. =.
Mrs. FELTON, and Miss Bancroft put
I'M a fine exhibition. Tn" latter. who
is n southpaw. was especially bril- liant
as to the accuracy, speed and JudS
mont she used III driving. She scored
many points for her team by sending
the ball hurtling an inch or so over
the net at an unScttablc cross court
angle. Miss Bancroft service also was
working well, and she took full advan-
tage of this. losing only once on her
own Gclivery, and that was largely

l1AJOR LEAGUE RACES THIS YEAR
S8 PROVE THATA CLUBS SUCCESS
HINGES ON ITS PITCHING STAFF
by ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Snorts Editor Evening Public Isdrsr

A CCORDING to Connie Mack pitching is 90 per cent
IA of a ball club. John McCraw raises Connie tcns
placing the figures 75 per Hughey Jennings after
watching his through couple of months on
nat tire states emphaticaly that pitching is lOo per
rent. Therefore led to believe after listening to
these experts that the of ball club depends
largely upon the work of the men on the mound
1T pitching staff is going good, the players on 'he
team have confidence, put up better game III the
field and bat and win lot of ball If. on the
other hand the hurer soCked all the place ana
the enemy starts pilng up the work of the other
interest in the game lose heart and look forward only
to the end Of the ninth inning.
This is not stuf-all of the fans know it-out
conditions in the major leagues make it possible
to reopen the discussion. The winning squirt of the
Chicago Cubs has been due to the remarkable come
and Big Jim Vaughn. Brooklyn still is hanging around
the topnoch because that club has of the best
pitchers in the league Cincinnati has been able to stick
in the first division frt with first place because
Reuther Saee the others have through for
Pat Moran.
In the American League COvCleskie and Bagby have
well Cleveland and the Indians out in front
The White Sox hurlers have been winning and now that
the Yankee hurlers have taken lease of life the
suggers sluggng and the club is steadily climbing
toward the top. That's the dope the leaders. They
have the pitching.
One big league manager. discussing the subject the
other day said 1T is dscouraging for an ordinary
pitcher work against Alexander Johnson other
star who is going good. As the innings and go
and his team is unable to make the ordinary
hurler loses confidence in himself and admits defeat Then
lot of hits made, some come the plate
n and the game is lost.
rood pitching makes good ball club and you
