PLANS FOR
GREAT BAPTIST
Committee is Appointed to
Study the Suggestion From
Mercer University

Jacksonville, Fla, May 10 (By
the Associated Press).-Proposais
for establishing a great Baptlst
university for the Southeast ana
founding an additional theological
seminary were referred by the
Southern Baptist convention here
late today to committees who Will
make recommendations to the
next annuai.eonventlon.
Home missions and Sunday
school work with the reports OF
the boards in charge took up the
| greater part Of the day n night
sessions. and it was announced
! that a conference of Baptist lead
ers will meet in Nashville June
20-21 to launch a campaign to
; complies the ST., 900 fund by
1924 for charging Baptist actlvl-
ties.
The women's missionary union.
AUXILIARY to the convention, also
discussed the fund and its members
pledged themselves to continue
their aid. The union held its
last business meeting OF this year
and elected Mrs. W. c. James OF
Birmingham president, and other
officers as we'll as hearing commit
tee reports.
The question of a new theology
cal seminary and a Baptist UNI
! versitv was raised in 81 proposal
| made by trustees of Mercer unlyer-
sitv. a Baptist institution with the
approval of the BAPTIST state con-
ycntion Of Georgia, that Mercer be
! made the nucleus for both lnstltu-
tons. If this We're done, the
trustees said they would transfer
all of MERGERS assets to the con-
! vention when the latter completed
its $75.O0G,0o on condition that
the convention raise S~2.ooo.ooo.
The Georgia Baptists promised to
subscribe $500 900 additional for
the project. The Macon chamber
! OF commerce offered to raise
100000. if the convention decid-
cd upon Mercer.
The resolutions got into what
speakers described rs a parlia-
mentary tangle and consumed
much time before a vote was TAX
en-. Several speakers SAID they
were unwilling to pledge. the con-
vcntion to the project at the pres
n time and amendments yer
adopted bringing this out. The
new university proposal has been
before several annual conventions
and i: was stated that the South
ern Eaptists intend eventually to
establish such an institution.
Hospital work was also discussed
today and tomorrow the conven-
ton will take up the laylnen 5
movement, women'S work and 9TH
er allied subjects while Sunday
will be given over to memorial ser
vices for the Rev. i. r. Gambrcll.
u. d., former president OF the on
vcntion, who died in Dallas last
summer. Baptist preachers at
tending the convention viii conduct
services Sunday in more than 90
churches both White and negro OF
evangelical denominations IN n
around Jacksonville. The final bus
mess Session will be held Monday.
Half a dozen speakers at to-
nights session stressed the import
ancc of home mission work II

EAST SIDE PLAYS
FAST TEAM TODAY

East Side High school has an
other hard baseball game booked
for this afternoon when they will
play West MoNongah High school
at Traction Park. Dumire, a
southpaw. will likely start on the
mound for the East Side team,
while Pickus will be on the mound
for the home crew. II the East
Side continue to hit the ball as
hard as they did yesterday and
can field a little better they have
a chance Of springing a surprise
on the Monongah lads.
There 10 a lot OF sympathy
among the local lads today for
Stealey who pitched for East Side
yesterday. 1t was unfortunate
that he did not get better support
In the field, and that he developed
a wild streak In the final inning
OF the game. He certainly tried
hard to land the contest.
The fans are still talking about
the sensational playing OF Sloan
around second base for the Ice
men. He was the individual field
ing star Of the game and his work
cut OF several possible runs for
the East Side nine.

Game Notes

Game Notes
Poor stcley. He gave his best at
bat, but the strain told on him in
the final round.
Michaels played . nice game for
Fairmont.
The East Side has increased
their batting strength, but tho
fielding Is rather loose.
Sloan made a wonderful play in
the ninth inning when he stopped
q hot smash from T. Criss bat be-
tween first and second and tossed
out the runner.
There was a good crowd out for
the game. 1t was too cold for COM
fort in the stands.
Grahams wild throw was atimely
one from a Fairmont High School
angle.
Stealey's two triples were beau
tiful drives to the far corners CT
the lot.
Lafferty made some neat pays
around shortstop. and so did Lay
man for East Side.
Fairmont looked good for q score
in the sixth with men on second
and third and one out, but Leonard
hit into n double play. Layman
grabbed his bid for a hit and then
tossed to Criss at third before Ross
could got back.
The third game OF the series
next month will have no beaflAg
on the winner OF the series now.
Pierce was only at bat once.
Stealey tossed him out.
Criss finished strong. but things
looked bad for him IN the sixth.
Umpire Toothman handled the
game in good style. There were
few kicks registered.
When the game was over the
Fairmont players staged an i'm
promptu celebration in front Of tho
bench.

GIRL CHEER LEADER

All the baseball victories are
not won by tho men In the game,
or the high school boys In the
game.
The roofing In the stands often
turns the tide OF victory.
This may have been responsible
for the Falrmont High School vic
tory at South Side Park yester.
day afternoon.
Miss Bernice Arnett acted as
cheer.leader for the Fairmont High
School rooters, and she never gave
them an idle moment from the
start to the finish of the game.
When the Fairmont High School
lads were behind, she worked Just
that much harder and kept up the
old pep and fighting spirit not
only among the rooters but the
players themselves.
She is some cheer.leade:, and
she used more appropriate gesticu.
lations than any college cheer.
feared could possible think OF.
In checking up the events OF the
afternoon, It would hardly be fair
to omit some mention OF the great
work Of Miss Arnett.

Queer Situation Places
Luque's Pitching Record
Among Best and Worst

CINCINNATI, ohio, Dec. 19.-Only
four pitchers in the National league
pitched better ball last season than
Senior Adolfo Luque, the Cuban hurler
of the Cincinnati Reds. At the same
time, only three pitchers pitched worse
ball
Sounds rather contradictory, but it
remains a fact under the system OF
giving the pitchers a double rating.
In average runs allowed per game,
which is perhaps the real way to judge
ability, Luque with fifth with an aver
age of only 3.31 runs a game.
But the Senior won only Is games
and lost %, which from the old games
won and lost system, made him TWEEN
ty-third on the list with an average
of 1861.
Hard luck, it might be called for the
senior. He is one of several fine pitch
ers who have never taken the spotlight
because no teams seem able to get
runs for them.
Johnny Couch is a good example OF
the contrary. Couch is young team
mate of Luque's. He won sixteen out
of twenty-five games and finished third
on the list But he was nineteenth on
the list in allowing runs.
