Kennedy Gives First
 Of DOctrinal Lectures

The first of the series of doctrinfa1 lectures given at the mission for non Catholic people, which is being held each evening this week, at 7:45 o'clock, in Sacred Heart church on Myrtle avenue, was delivered last evening by Rev. Father David w. Kennedy, a member of the Order of The title of the first sermon was What Think Ye of Christ 2"
 Father Kennedy said in part 'NThe name of Jesus Christ is the greatest in the history of the civilized world. Particular nations and particular gener2-..a,1s have had their heroes from which they drew inspiration, but no name has been so universally revered and no name has had such a n2anl1ind as the name of the Founder of Christianity.
 ." What Ttink Ye of Christ is @ question that has Interested mankind for twenty centuries, and it is a erues- t-on which every honest thinking man of today must answer for him self
 T fear very much the vast major ity of Americans do not think about simply a name-nothing more This may seem to be a very surprising statement, but it is vouched for by the United States census which tells us that there are Sny-hve million people in this country who belong to no Christian church. Of the remain ing forty-five millions many have ing the character of Christ They look upon him as a splendid person ality of a past age-a great Teacher "a great Mora1ist-one who was the

greatest of men but nevertheless only a man.
 '-Ask a Catholic the question, What think ye of Christ. and imme- diately he answers. T believe that He was God, the Second Person of the most Blessed Trinity, who became man in the womb of Virgin and dwelt as a God man here upon earth"
 The question, 'fWhat think ye of Christ" cannot be dismissed lightly as trivial and of no importance. Eth CT Christ was God with all the pow like ourselves. If He was not God then Christianity founded by a man is only a human religion and has no more right to the submission of my intellect and the assent of my will, than any other human system of eth ics invented by man and I may ac- cept or reject his teachings as I see fit If, on the other hand. He was God, then He spoke with the auth or ity and truth of God and man must accept Christianity as divine He claimed to be God. He proved that He was God and for twenty centuries men have believed in Him as God the noblest lives in the history of the world.
 'TWhat is the matter with our mod ern world, is question that is puzZling men today.
 '"The answer is clear enough It has Host its belief in Jesus Christ as God and until it returns to that be- lems''
 Following the lectures questions re- 1ating to religion were answered by the speaker. The exercises were

UniontoWn Wins Another
 From Selma Aggregation

Unontown, August -(Special.) )-' The fast flying Uniontown team took a close and interesting game from the snappy Selmians here today by a score of 5 to 1, making the games stand now out of 10 for Uniontown.
 Mott was selected to do the twirl ing for Selma today and was ex- tremely wild in the first part of the game allowing men to get on by wild pitches and walking numerous bat ters. Mott walked three men in the last inning, forcing Stacy to score. George Clark chunked good game for Uniontown, holding Selma scoreless up to the eighth inning, with only two hits marked up against him up to this time. It looked like a shut out game for Clark until several err TOTS and listless playing behind him in the eighth inning let in two runs.
 Uniontown got one score in the first when Mott walked Dave Rosen- field with Stacy on third. Patrick added two more runs in the sixth in ming when he slammed out a pretty two bagger to deep center, with Clark and Rosenfeld on bases. Hinton also put up another marker for Unionown in the sixth by hitting a hot Texas leaguer over second, with Pat Jones on second, scoring Pat Lit tie Rosie scratched the books again in the seventh by hitting safe over second, stealing second base and run ming third and home on errors.

 Tallman was teaching the young woman to operate mashie and he stood too close. She swung hard missed the ball. whirled all the way around by the force she had put into the shot and cracked her instructor on the bridge of the nose.

that the Pebble City fans turned enough patronage through the gate to make the 1920 season big money maker for Allen. Now he comes along a year later and oisposes of star to help league-leading club out. Verify, 1t seems that Allen has squeezed the. Little Rock franchise for all it is worth, and now intends get ting out from under when the 1921 season is brought to close. His act in selling Brown can be construed in no other way.
 
 Chicks, Lucky Dogs
 This league-leading Memphis bunch is the luckiest ball club in captivity. Take Tuesday, for in- stance. They had the Lookouts 2-1 in the fifth inning, and then the rain arrived upon the scene. I'm not saying they wouldn't have beaten the Lookouts, mind you, but I am asserting that Spencer Abbott seems to have a working agreement with the weather man this year. When Spencer needs rain, the weather man turns on the faucet. When the other side needs rain the weather vender turns a deaf ear to it's plea.
 It's a shame that John D. Martin, president of the league, had to rush back to Memphis. following his visit here Sunday. The league p- KY realized that Birmingham and New Orleans were fighting it out for second place, and he had intended watch ing the fun. However, his wife became i'll before he left the Bluff City, and he had to hurry back. Proxy Martin realized that 1t would be such 8 hectic strug- gle that he assigned three um- pires to the job.

"Quack" smith Against Sales
 Tuesday afternoon Messrs. Smith and Dobbs held a little twosome in connection with the change of players rule. Proxy Smith poured out his heart to Mir. Dobbs and asserted that the sale of players after August 1 should stop. The local proxy, who is known as Gum shoe Quack,' in- timated that he would go to the next league meeting bent on changing the player sale rule. MT. Smiths argument is that no player in the Southern league should be sold by weaker club to a. stronger outfit after Au- gust l has passed. He will en- deavor to put this thing over, and it is understood that d majority or the club owners are with him in this respect.
 The hulabaloo came about when Don Brown, Little Rock gardener, was sold by the Little Rock club to the league-leading Memphis Chicks. And the ques- tion now arises, How is Bob Allen going to square himself with the home town fans, now that he has sold the rd-hitting middle gardener"
 Nobody seems to blame Mem phis for buying the Pebble City clouter. The main trouble is that Little Rock has disposed of fence buster to the league lead CTS. And the main question aris- ing in the minds of the fans is: How is Bob Allen going to square himself with the Arkansas fans?"
 Allen COntemplates Change
 It is a know fact that Allen has cleaned up a bunch of money since he went over to the Arkan- sas metropolis. League magnates feared for him at the start, and even went so far as to insure him against losses. As the lucre started rolling in at the gate. however. they saw this wasn't necessary Allen is reputed to have made barrels of money in Little Rock the past three years.
