SUPREME COURT ID RECONVENE TODAY
Case of Organized Baseball Will Come Before High
 Tribunal
By Associated Press

Washington, April 9.--After a re- cess of two weeks the supreme court will reconVene tomorrow with Il weekend recess for Good Friday in prospect for the hour of adjournment Thursday. Among the important cases on the calendar for oral argument is that involving the Reading company dissolution proceedings. The court has indicated 1t was not satisfied that the decree of the United States district court at Philadelphia will bring about complete dissolution. Counsel for the various interests in- on the subject have been directed to give particular attention to certain specified features of the case
 Another dissolution case under the sherman act which has been pending in the court since July, 1917, will fol- low the Reading company case. It involves the question whether the ownership and control of the South eru Pacific over the Central Pacific constitutes restraint of interstate commerce and gives 1t an unlawful advantage over the Union Pacific in transcontinental traffic through the ogden gateway.
 Professional baseball organizations will be compelled to defend them selves against an attack by the Baltl- more club of the old Federal league, which seeks to recover damages on the ground that organized baseball is an illegal combination in restraint or trade and interstate commerce in violation of the sherman antitrust law Although it participated in the negotiations which resulted in the peace" agreement closing the affairs of the Federal league, the Baltimore club refused to abide by the terms of the settlement. A case brought by it in the federal courts at Philadel- phia was dismissed but the Baltimore club renewed the suit in the courts of the District of Columbia and won, only to lose again when the decision was appealed. Organized baseball claims it is not engaged in interstate commerce and therefore is not sub ject to the Sherman law.

DR. R.MACSPORRANON ON .SATAN'S DOWNF ALL

"The Dewnfeii of Satan was the subject ef 2 sermon of unuzual In terest preached by pr, j. A. Mospor- ran at the First. Presbyterian church yesterday morning. He said in part;
 "A most Interesting fact of our day is we are losing faith in the practical men and practical plans of our times. These boasted they were men who could get results; boasted so confidently of 1t all that we took them at their word and gave them their chance in the world. Yet we are not satisfied with their re- suits We say they nave not been practical enough-tnaJ their sphere has been all too small they have been lacking in vision and sympathy and imagination.
 Tt has been trusting to the wit of the day when stress came. We see we must have more. policy that vii embody our faith and our plans. We must have wider, deeper scheme of things in our minds.
 yesterdays practical man classed corporation welfare work, play grounds parks, etc. as mere luxu- ries. But tomorrow's practical men will so far surpass our dreams now as to be almost of another world
 We come to discussion of the future of our religion. The church las been too long controlled by these so-ca1led practical men of the world. We have lost the sense of fighting for world Listening to them, we have weakened and lowered our standard. To be practical, as they call it, is the most impractical thing the chrch has ever done.
 "The real significance and mes sage of Palm Sunday is the triumph of the thing of love; nourished and fed and sustained through his church. I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven This is prophecy, not history What did Jesus mean? Most of us get our ideas from outside the Bible. Sc much nonsense has been talked about Satan until one can scarcely mention him without raising smile."

 Misled by those whose information is derived from fancy rather than from fact, many have been led to believe that the good openings can not be located through "help wanted" advertisemen because, as they have been informed, good positions are not advertised. Nothing is further from the truth. l have tested this source in my hunting days, and for clients and during this experi- ence I have inserted advertisements calling for men and women of large caliber with salaries ranging from $3,000 to $25,000 per annum. But the best proof is to be found in the news papers, magazines, and trade publi- cations. A glance any day, espe- cially on Sunday, will convince any one that help wanted" advertise ments are really excellent opportu- mites for those out of employment or those seeking to obtain better po- sitions
 Help Wanted" advertisements for both ordinary and executive posi- tions usually appear in the classi- fled columns at the end of the news paper or magazine. When employers find 1t impossible to obtain the per sons they desire through the classi- fled columns, or because they want to make their wants known in a moro conspicuous manner to obtain greater number and variety of ap- plicants that ordinarily do not read the classified advertisements, they use the full run of the newspaper or magazine after the style of the ordinary display advertiser. In spe- cial cases, where business men de- sire to connect with persons of spe- cial training and experience they have recourse to the Business Op- pcrtunitiesn advertisements under the heading Business Connections De- slred."

In golf instruction. and I have heard great deal of it, almost every conceivable factor and condition is emphasized with the exception of the hands. Yet they are something no golfer can neglect To play golf well the hands must be in perfect condi- tion. A little hangnail here. or a cut there, might be the thing that made you finch unknowingly to the loss of your stroke. There is no necessity for the big blisters and sores. It is true that the grip tears the skin of the palm during the swing and espe- cially at the impact; therefore, use special care.
 Take Care of Your Hands
 Begin your practice carefully, and work gradually up to your proper amount See that your nails are cut close, so that when you wrap your fingers around the grip they do not dig into the palms If. in spite of care, your hands blister l advise let ting the water out by a prick of the needle into the watery part from a point on the outside. This leaves the skin loose. Over it place a piece of cloth and a bit of adhesive plaster over that When I begin to practice each spring my hands start to get very sore. The moment I detect a slight redness l put on the piece of cloth and the adhesive plaster. Then at night l put on and rub in thor oughly a mixture composed of half witch hazel and half arnica. eff the skin is broken, arnica cannot be used). A physician might be able to give you a better toughener than this. which happens to be my standby in time of hand trouble. This method has worked we'll with me and l never have any trouble after the first two weeks. I cannot use gloves, for l seem to lose the sense of touch through them. I saw Lawrie Jenkins wearing gloves when he won the British championship in 1914, but they seemed to be peculiarly made so that he could get the sense of touch through them. l judge from that that the wearing of gloves is largely a matter of individual taste.
 Avoid Callouses
 The hands of some of our greatest players are amazingly calloused. remember noting some years ago at a championship tourney that Jerome Travers had two rows of callouses on his hands. and they looked like those of a laborer. Many golfers are delighted to find that their callouses are the same as those of some fla nous player, for they believe that it shows that they are gripping their clubs right. l would not like to say that may be, but for myself 1 avoid callouses and hardly have one on my hands In my playing the sense of touch seems to have a great deal to do with my getting the most out of my clubs. Experience will show each player the best system for himself.
