The Mayor then indicated that he
was not entirely in accord with all the
demands made by the men, and de-
clared that some of the requests were
radical and far-reaching. 1--WE are
dealing with a Federal court" he said
"and | want to be careful. Ypu must
also be careful and not get in bad
with the public through unreasonable
demands. AS Mayor of New York owe
duty toward the people. Let us be
reasonable"
The Mayor announced that he had
written Corporation Counsel O'Brien
to request the Supreme Court for o
modification of the injunction granted
by Justice Cropsey stopping the opera
tion of husses. The Mayor explained
that if there is a tie-up on any of the
lines the people would have hard
time getting to and from work if it
were impossible to put busses in
operation.
No further move will be made by the
union leaders until Commissioner De-
laney is given chance to act. In the
event that these efforts fail the men
plan to take their case to Governor
Smith.
Commissioner Delaney was unable to
get into touch with Receiver Garrison
yesterday, but sent for copy of the
agreement under which the men are
working at the present time, and also
for copy of the new working agree
ment submitted by the men to the COM
pany officials on July %. The union
men expect to hear what success Mr..
Delaney had in arranging a conference
by tomorrow.
Even if the closed shop were granted
to the employees, Sheridan said, there
are other demands equally important
which the men will insist upon. These,
he said. included an increase in wages,
the eight-hour day and modification of
the merit system. He added that the
employees were willing to arbitrate
all these questions.

FAITH AND CREDULITY,"
 SERMON BY REV. WARE

At the morning service yesterday at St. Andrews Episcopal Church. the Rev. J. T. Ware preached q forceful sermon on Faith" taking for his text "The just shall live by their faith.' MT. Ware said in part:
 ITO imagine that is true for which we have insufficient evidence is not faith but 'credulity. Do you believe Jonah lived comfortably in the whale s stomach? If you do, do not pat your self on the back and conceive that you are a great believer-you are merely credulous.
 But suppose the story of Jonah and and the whale was not a parable but literally true. Even so, the housing shortage could not be solved by som" of us sleeping in the stomachs ot friendly fish. Such story even il somehow proved true could not proper ly be an object of faith since it is not a principle by which We live.
 Real faith is action based upon the most reasonable hypothesis. It con sists of three parts: facts, an hypo- thesis based upon these facts, and action based on the hypothesis. Lack ing any one of these, whatever pur- ports to be faith is spurious.
 "A merchant is honest, has good Judgment, and his store is well located in a growing city. On these facts a bank bases the hypothesis that he will make money, and, acting on this hypothesis, in faith, makes him a loaa
 "A river falls so many feet to the mile and has maintained a certain minimum flow for ten years back. On these facts an electric light company bases the hypothesis that the river will furnish so much power, and, acting upon this hypothesis. in faith spends a million dollars to dam the stream and install turbines.
 "Religious faith differs only in that tie hypotheses being those upon which, for better or worse we live our lives, are of inestimable impor- tance.
 Two men survey the facts of life as they perceive them in their native viii lage. One forms the hypothesis thai the 'ungodly flourish like green bay tree;' the other that the end of the ungodly is, they shall be rooted out al the last: but the salvation of the right eous cometh of the Lord The first

CRATCHHITS

There must be something to team which can beat the Memphis Chicks four straight games. Uncle John McCloskey has mighty powerful diamond aggrega- tion, which heretofore has been unused to such treatment.
 McCIoskey used everything he had to halt the Barons in their winning streak. Goodbred, Canavan, Albris, Vance and a
 few innings of Thweatt were chucked in against Moley's batsmen. and equal treat ment was accorded them all, namely, ut ter defeat. The Chick moundsmen stood the strain majority of the innings but in the pinches, when a Baron was on base, somehow the single or double was always forthcoming.
 The Barons really found themselves in their first game in New Orleans. Play ing like league leaders. backing Coffin daffer up in fine style they trounced the Pels Ever since that game Moley's men have played steadily, turning in re- markable record of wins and defeats Twelve games have been played since
 the team left town the last week m April Ten have been victories, one a
 tie, and one a defeat.
 Local fans have right to rejoice. The
 team which can leave for a road trip
 with only cellar prospects and come
 home, play one series and lead the
 league is worth rejoicing over.
 Over in Memphis they accused the
 Barons of grasping everything in sight
 yesterday, their own hits Chick hits runs and the game. Unless about seven
 other Southern League teams wake up
 Birmingham will be grasping the 1920
 pennant also.
 Weekly speaking we agree with them.
 It was great day for the Baronal right gardener.
 There was nothing meek about the way Neeks slammed out that three-bagger off Canavan at Redwood Saturday. A gentle Baron packer has requested the publication of Bert Griffiths bat ting average on the last road trip. Here l it is: Griffith was at bat 29 times. scored five runs and made ten hits, a percentage of 344. One of Griffith s hits was a two-bagger. and one a triple.
