This four promises to be one of the most formidable opponents in the feature events for the speedy Point Judith Tigers. composed of B. K Catins, Julius F1eischmann. F. W. Hopping, and G. NJ. Dempsey.

K|WAN|S CLUB HEARS
 ACCOUNT IF WORK IN MISSIONARY FIELDS

After setting so high a mark in theis work for the new chamber of commerce that they felt bold enough to lie back and dare their Rotarian brothers to even try to reach it, members of the Kiwanis club lighted cigars which had been furnished for the weekly lunch con yesterday by Earl Nash in compli- nent to a newly arrived son and list ened to an interesting and informative address by Dr. James H. Franklin, for eign secretary of the American Sap tist Foreign Mission society, on the re- suits that have been accomplished by Christian missionaries in the dark places of the earth.
 The ta3ulation of the results achieved by the members of the club in the drive for a reorganized chamber of commerce and a greater Phoenix showed that st memberships had been obtained ana sS75 added to the chambers service fund In addition to this every member of the club has joined the chamber of commerce, making it's participation in the campaign 100 per cent President Royal W. Lescher topped the lss of workers with 15 new members.
 After, Dr. Franklin had been intro- duced by H. w. Morton, secretary of the Arizona Baptist convention, he was cautioned by President Lescher with a laugh not to inject too much religion into his talk. which gave him the open ing remarks of his address, the gist of which follows;
 "Despite what your president has said may find it difficult to keep religion entirely out of my talk, but l desire to remark that from what have seen of your president in action here today, l know that in the minis try he would have eclipsed Billy Sun day.
 s'The man who doesn't put his re- ligion into his business has something materially wrong with himself And again, your religion cannot be ortho- dox and your business crooked.
 q wonder if you men know what is going on in the world of missionary effort? I wonder if you have hsard ct the industrial education that has been set on foot in Africa by missionaries, with the native who formerly had 500 wives and cannibalistic tendencies now being trained in agriculture and efen the mechanical arts.
 Foreign missions have become deep ly interested in the same practical l business problems that affect the mem bers of this club and they have sinsti- tuted and are carrying out 9 program of non sectarian and cooperative eou- cation along commercial and industrial lines that is having a profound intiu- ence in the spheres in which the plans are bearing fruit.
 Dr. Franklin then spoke on the work that is being done in China, particu- larly at the college at Nanl1.ns, where schools of forestry. silk culture. rice culture and other practical subjects are being conducted with unusual success. H also empha sized the fact that these schools are not graduating eVangel- ists and preachers but statesmen, diplomats and business executives. The meeting was opened by the singing of Garry Me Back to Ole Vir- ginny" by Helen Boyle Haworth, and the encore Keep On Smiling" Mrs.

 Buck had speed, but he was wilder than a band of roaming mustangs. Fir Forks made five runs before being re- tired. I was nearly a wreck. Jumping and plunging for the Montanan's S shoots was terrible punishment for an old timer. I wondered how many cantos I would last.

 In the last of the seventh with the score 13 all, and nobody down, Buck Horn cracked like ice in the sun. He filled the bags, and things looked black. Then I heard a yell from Lefty North:
 "BrewsterI He's back, Mac. Hero he comesi"
 Sure enough, V. Morgan Brewster, the missing, was tearing in on high.
