whatsoever q man thinketh in his
heart that he Is. This thinking in
one's own heart is the bulwark OF
personal and social salvation. TIE
so.or Of the skin, the texture cf the
clothing, the lelgth Of the skirt, the
parting Of the hair or the clipping OF
it, are nothing. They are outward
conyentionalities that change day by
day. year by year. II man thinketh
in his heart that one is vile because
his clothing is different, his race is
different. his creed is different, or be-
cause he is unlike in any way. that
man himself had better search his
own heart to find If it is not filed
with the vileness which he attributes
to others. The human race is not
bad. it is weak. Ii is ignorant. II is
blind TO an extent. The man who
may see little more of the light than
others by reason of his better oppor-
tunity or circumstance, and thereby
arrogantly assumes a superiority over
the less favored. is not lifting up
Christ. though he speak with a
thousand tongues and be heard to the
uttermost parts of the earth. He is
throwing his own shadow across the
line of vision between the seeker and
the figure of Christ in the distance.
So, in this day of difficulty and
dread and change, we need to lift
Christ up higher and higher by the
example of our own lives. When he
is implanted rightly in the heart of
one. that man becomes not an arro-
giant. but an humble person. He be-
comes, not a vindictive, but a loving
man. The problem Of the age is the
setting up Of this inward bulwark in
the live of our youth. This can be
done. and should be done, everywhere
and at all times in our daily inter-
course, in business, in recreation, in
church and upon the street. Some
men may help to set it up in another
heart in one place and some in anoth-
er. What we are concerned about is
the lifting up of Christ everywhere in
such way that young and old will
be drawn unto him and adopt his as
the inner bulwark of their lives.

The Bridgeport Terminal Baseball team will journey to South Norwalll tomorrow afternoon to play the fast Lockwoods.
 John McSherry whose wonderful pitching created a stir a few weeks ago. will do the mound work for the Terminals, and 'tSi' Reising whose remarkable catching all season has earned him an enviable reputation, is slated to back stop for the Bridge porters. With him behind the bat makes the Terminals formida bIe battery. Lefty Broad, whose sen- sational work for the I4ockwoods this season was noted, will take the hill and he will be supported by McCar- ten Both boys hail from the Park City and are doing some tall playing at South Norwalk.

wand. He'll do everything possible to preserve it. Hard usage and varying weather conditions often cause the grain in a bat to split and to avoid this the player puts a few tacks in. That is how the studded" bat originally came into existence. How ever, some bright player must have conceived the idea that a few extra tacks about nine ten inches from the end of the club might put little more power into it and the practice is now carried to extremes,
 A major league umpire recently threw a bat out of a game because there were 52 tacks in it. This prac- tIce will undoubtedly continue as the umpires won't throw them out until their attention is called to it by an opposing player. Then if he deems it loaded he will probably throw it out. But the players won't call attention to it because they're all doing it.

ONE MORE WIN WILL CLUTCH DAVIS
 CUP FOR AMERICAN TENNIS TEAM

Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. D.
 Needing but one more victory to clinch possession of the Davis Cup
 and with it world lawn tennis
 supremacy for another year. the
 United States pinned it's faith to-
 day on William T. Tilden and
 Vincent Richards, national cham
 pions, in the doubles match with
 Gerald l.. Patterson and Pat
 oHara Wood of the challenging
 Australians: Play was to begin
 at 2:3O o'clock on the courts of
 the West Side Tennis Club.
 Facing an almost hopeless task as a reseult of their crushing defeat in the two singles matches that opened the international play yesterday Patterson losing to TIlden and James in straight sets the Australians were determined to make a. Hast ditch' stand against the defenders, victory for the Antipodean racquet wielders America to capture at least one of the remaining singles matches, sched- uled Monday in which Anderson and Tlden and Patterson and Johnson are paired.
 Victory Decisive
 But the decisive manner in which the two Bills swept the courts in the initial matches led experts to the conviction that the American pair will settle the issue today. Richards and Ti1den demonstrated their superiority over Patterson and Wood in four sets in the final round of the national doubles championship earlier in the week at Boston and while it will mark the young Yonkers' stars baptism in Davis Cup play he is noted for his coolness under fire
 Ti1den and Johnston left no doubt as to their supremacy over Patterson and Anderson. The tall PhfIadeIpn1an whose match with his rival from down under'' was regarded by many as also contest for the worId's S. 1gles championship since that crown was won by Patterson at Wimbled on. was ext ended more han Johnston To gain victory. While Anderson ap- peared to be woeful1y off his game and offered little resistance to Johns

 When conditions are favorable the swimmer will start in the evening in order to have the night swim over and make the final effort by daylight Naval men will be assigned to each pilot boat to act as witnesses and give any help that may be needed.

,No Wonder <:Roddy" Bings Ball; Cuban Up-to-date, Zs Swingi1g The Loaded Bal"

Before a game at NewfieId Park the other day Jose Rodriguez was observed in the players dressing room with a bat, hammer and box of tacks. Just making a lively bat,' that's all. Some players, 1t is said, have 250 more tacks in the basehft club
 Now, the question arises:
 The players and umpires are so fussy about the balls, why don't they take a slant at the bats once in a while. The bats are just as lively as the balls nowadays. How come ? Tacks. If you ever happen to be pass ing a players dugout pick up a couple of bats at random, look them over. The chances are that you'll find any where from dozen to three hundred tacks in them.
 When a player gets hold of a bat that Is suited to him, he would almost as soon part with his right eve as that

HARPER HAS WALL ROVER WITH LEWIS
 IN FIRST LEG OF BOWLING SERIES

The local bowling season got
 off with a loud bang last night
 at Joe Harper's Holland alleys
 when Harper emerged tri1mph-
 ant over Connie Lewis in five
 games out of seven. Connie will
 nave to do some miracle work in
 his performances against Harper
 i'll tile return series to be rolled
 on Lewis Park City drives next
 Thursday night to get a looI<-in.
 It was an suspicious opening for the pastime and scores of local bowl CTS were on hand to see the clash be- tween the local king pins" One of the side features was the presence of Sylvester Poli, who rolled the openins game with big pins. The theatrical magnate acquitted himself creditab1y with a mark of 1S3.
 It was a warm night for bowling and as Connie Lewis said. "'the ba Ills are getting heavier every game'' Neither bowler rolled anywhere near his usual form, but their scores were fair
 Harper made a winning start by bagging the initial clash, 103 to 98 and Connie came back and adminis- tered a stiff trouncing to the Main street impression, 129 to ST. It was the highest individual tally of the evening. The series was nip and tuck for a time, Harper winning the third and Lewis evening up matters by taking the fourth.

"Hinkie" Haines Is
 Showing His Speed

ttHinkey'' Haines who showed Hartford fans he could "go get 'en'' in center field last season is using his dazzling speed to good purpose in the International League.
 In the matter of stealing bases, the only player in the International League who tops the one-time great Penn State athlete is Maurice Arch deacon, Rochester outfielder called the fastest thing on two feet in baseball, both in the minor and big lea gues.
 '.Hinkey'' is nine stolen bases be- hind the Rochester speed merchants but this margin is greatly discounted when it is taken into mind that Haines has played in twenty-five less games than Archdeacon.

Here's Catcher Who
 CarOmed His Pegs

"One of the catchers in the Florida State League last year was a wonder on throwing to second, but he always made the ball bound on the ground once before reaching the fielder" says Joe Tinker.
 he was so accurate he wore out a small spot just back of the pitcher where he made the ball hop.
 "One afternoon it rained hard and 8 puddle of mud formed in that spot. And do you know the catcher would not play until they had placed a pie tin on the spot so he could make the ball hop in the accustomed fashion"
