CHURCH BUSINESS MANAGER
viii Be Recognized Need in Every
Church, Says the Rev. Nelson.

A church business manager-a man
of business experience employed by
the church to look after its financial
and organization maintenance-within
d few years will be a recognized need
in every large church, the Rev H l..
Nelson, pastor of the PotWin Presby-
terrain church, said yesterday in his
morning sermon.
He asserted that in this age when
technique and system count for 50
much, it is as important that the
church be properly conducted from
the business standpoint as from the
spiritual.
The pastor did not intimatetha the
spiritual upkeep of the church is
slipping, but that the growing i'm
portance Of the fact that the welfare
of a church is dependent largely on
the manner in which its business af-
fairs are conducted, is dawning on the
churches of today. He predicted that
within another decade one will see a
business manager as a permanent Of
ficial in all large churches.

Y. NJ. c. A. Heads New Organization.
Slamming the old tin can up and
down the street in front of the dormi-
tories and the presidents home is the
latest sport at Washburn college.
Harry Bone, president of the WASH
burn Y. M. c. A, has been worried
because relatively small proportion Of
college men participate in the major
athletic sports. Consequently he has
organized a Shiny club, to which
any student is eligible. Bone believes
that shiny is one game which every
boy in the world knows how to play.
The Shinney club has already worked
q lot of perspiration out of its mem
bers, despite the cold weather, and
filled the campus with some new and
merry noises. Thus far no protest has
been raised by the matrons of the
dormitories.

MYRICH SAYS TENNIS
DATES HERE CHANGED
Officials Plan to Investigate Tourney
Held Here Last Week

New York, April LAWN tennis
officials will investigate carefully the
protest made by the Seventh Regiment
Tennis Club relative to the playing of
Vincent Richards in the tournament
ut Philadelphia. Also the conditions
under which that competition was con
Quoted.
According to the statements made BY
Julian s. Myrick, president of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion, the tournament was technically
held without q sanction. He said:
"The management Of the Philadel.
phia tournament asked for an earlier
date than that of the national indoor
championship at the Seventh Regiment
Armory in this city. For reasons which
have not yet become known to the ma :
tional association the directors of the
tourney made an arbitrary change in
the date. They simply filed notice
In letter to the field secretary's Office
and went ahead"
It was admitted in official lawn ten .
mis- circles that those who directed the
tournament at Philadelphia had AS.
possess. They actually played with =
out a sanction. Furthermore. it was
brought out that the Middle States AS
sociatiOn is not completely organized.
"As matter Of fact" said Myrick,
in discussing this phase of the predica :
ment. 1.-THE Middle States Associa ton
would not have authority to grant a
sanction and date even If it had re :
ceived a charter from the National
Governing Board. This point will have
to be cleared and the authority of the
national association made plain to all ."

QUAKERS MEET READING

Special Dispatch to EVentno Public ledger
Henderson, N. c.. April 7.-One Of
the flying Phils, here at Henderson, in
Lee Meadows country. has won his
spurs in novel fashion. The training

That's what the training trip has
done to him. He constitutes the right

Wilhelm will start the season with an
outfeld shift. Cy Williams is a Ak
ture in center. but the switch from
right -hand pitching to crooked arm
stuff on the part Of the opposition will
mean coincident switch Of right and
left fielders.
The pair that hit against right
hand pitchers consists Of Dewitt Ie-
bourveau and Curtis Walker. The pair
against southpaws are Lee King and
/ Cliff Lee.
Distasted Job
Cliff regarded his triple job Of 1921
with distaste. He wanted to settle
down at one position and be good there,
instead Of playing jack of all trades.
There was only one way for him to
achieve it. and that was to demonstrate
his hitting prowess. The mighty drives
Of Cliff have been notable feature Of
the training trip, and the result is his
permanent assignment to the Outfeld.
