CHRISTIAN RELIGION

Il believe in experimental religion"
declared Rev. Billy Sunday preaching
at the tabernacle Wednesday after
noon. 1T is the person who has had
religious experience who is best
able to guide a person to Christ"
Telling the story of the negro who
had led the members of his baseball
team to a famous spring in the hills
near Hot Springs, Sunday declared.
That negro was able to lead the six
big, husky, dry men to the spring be-
cause he had been there before, and
knew the way"
1t is the same way in religion" he
insisted, the experience is necessary
II others are to be brought to Christ"
Necessity of Work.
The wednesday afternoon sermon
was directed mainly at the necessity
of personal work in getting others to
come forward and acknowledge Christ.
| God has a use for men in tIfis
world he said. but he needs others
to convert those people in the first
place"
Where will you find them" he de-
manded. you will find them in the
| shops, in the offices, in the clubs, at
your back door, even the other side of
the breakfast table"
Telling the story of the tough young
man in Iowa who refused to listen to
him when he wanted to talk religion.
Sunday dropped his lower lip, and
speaking out of the corner of his
mouth initiated the tough's action. Il
don't care about your religion he
said"

me that you came out here looking
for somebody to talk to about Their
soul"
Returns to Find
His God.
Moody said, Eyes, sir"
He said, Moody, l will be down TO
see you tomorrow"
He went down next day and Moody
let him back to the renewal of his
covenant. God blessed that man and
he became one of our multi-miIlion-
aires. and whenever Moody needed
money, that man was one of the first
to write out check for him
He that winneth souls is wise"
DR.. Smith Baker of Boston, a no
Bile man, had a University of Harvard
professor that came to his church He
was trying to get into the church and
there was a brakeman on the Boston
& Maine r. r. that had been convert
ed, and whenever they threw the
meeting open for testimony. he'd al
ways jump to his feet and give it
and then sit down and say this Eel
lows, come to Jesus Christ and he will
give you boost"
And DR.. Smith Baker said to him
self, why, it will never do for that
College Professor to hear that fellow;
he will think that religion is good for
weak-minded sort of people and peo-
pie with limited intelligence, but not
for college professors"
| And he was wondering what he
could do to keep that brakeman from
the Boston & Main r. r. from get
ting up and giving his testimony, be-
cause he knew his old mildewed
bunch would sit there and look wise

GOLDEN PLOVER FLIES
FOR LONG DISTANCES

The American golden plover is the
greatest long-distance migrant known
to natural history. His flight from
north to south is approximately 1000
miles, the greatest distance traversed
by any bird, and 2,400 miles of this
is done without single rest From
September to March he spends on the
pampas of Argentina and after this
six months residence in the South
ern Hemisphere, he starts his trip to
the Arctic Circle.
The plover's route is across North
western South America, then over the
Gulf of Mexico, and into the United
States along the coast of Louisiana
and Texas. Thence he moves up the
Mississippi Valley and by early June
is nesting on the barren ground
above the Arctic Circle.

A SUGGESTION

Rodeheaver's latest suggestion for
the women is that they pin their hats
to their skirts so that they will not
lose them but at the same time be
comfortable.
Il wonder if Rody knows how many
women don't use hat pins these days?"
one woman whispered to another.

HAS HIS TROUBLES

Billy Sunday had more than the
usual Interruptions Wednesday night.
Once a glass fell from one of the win
dows and broke on the floor. At an
other time he stopped in his sermon
to have all of the doors of the tab
ernacle opened.
Its not the fresh air that will hurt
you, he said; "it's the foul air in a
shut up place"

SMILE SONG

The Smiles song sung by the Luth-
Grams Is as follows:
(Tune: "Smiles.")
Some may smile because they're
happy,
Some don't smile because they're
blue;
Some may smile because they have a
conscience
And their heart is ever brave and
true;
Some may smile when troubles over
come them,
Yet they trust, although they can not
see;
But Tabernacle Smile" will help
you,
Billy Sunday looks good to me.

TO MAKE RECORDS

Next Wednesday Bob Matthews is to
make some records for the Gennetts,
in which he is going to set a new
mark in recording. In order to get
the proper feeling to the songs, Bob
is going to play his own accompani-
ment, and the company has made a
special recording horn to get both the
voice and the piano
So far as is known no records have
ever been made where the soloist has
played his own accompaniment. The
songs to be recorded are mainly hui
morous ones, like those which Mat
thews gives on occasion from the tab
ernacle platform.

the visiting team in Sundays game
while the remainder of the lineup

FOR CASEY 8
AGAINST United Lead Works
Team Tomorrow After
noon Return Go

John Harrington's Knights of Co
iumbus baseball team will have a
strong lineup to place against the
United Lead works forces in the
game on the Raritan Copper works
field tomorrow afternoon. The
leaders defeated the Caseys on the
Lead Works field earlier in the sea-
son, and the Caseys are out to
avenge this defeat.
Herman Jeroff will be sent to the
mound for the Caseys, while Nc
Nulty probably will receive the as
signment for Manager Muccillis
team. The lineup of the Casey team
has not been announced, but it is
probable there will be several new
faces on hand for tomorrow's game.
The Caseys have been playing a
good brand of ball this year with
Jeroff doing his share by consistent
pitching. Errors were mainly re-
sponsible for the setbacks suffered
to date by the local representative
Saturday team.
Booking Manager Ray Seguine has
arranged a twilight game with the
AZ shonga forces of Tottenville, to
be played a week from next Thurs
day night. The Caseys' booking
manager also has a game with the
strong representative Metuchen team
for the near future.

Manager Terio has been assured a
booking with this combination,
which has a winning streak of sever
straight games. at a later date. The
AGNES are also ,desirous of booking

Poor Start Accounts
For Aquehongas Loss
To Cuban Star Outfit

Charles Hilker's Aquehonga base
ball team of Tottenville got off TO
a poor start in their game with the
Cuban Stars on Aquehonga field last
night, and the result was the Gu
bans won by a 9 to 4 count. Seven
runs in the first inning, registered
as a result of five miscues by the
home players, prevented this game
from being as interesting as the one
the previous week with the Lin
coin Giants.
Aicer Jensen, local southpaw,
pitched a creditable game for the
Aouehongas. In the first inning of
this contest the Stars collected four
hits off his delivery, two of the
scratchy nature, after several chanc-
es to retire the side had been pass
ed up. Twelve hits, including a
triple and three doubles, are credit
ed to the Cubans, but after the first
inning their safeties were we'll scat
tered and their remaining runs were
scored in the eighth and ninth IN
nings.
Jensen had good control and did
not issue a pass. He struck out two
batters. Juanelo, the Cuban twirler,
was touched for eleven safeties, in

pass and famed five batters. Jua-
nelo had the situation we'll in hand
with the exception of the eighth IN
ming when six safeties accounted for
the four runs credited to the Totem
Vile representative forces.
Seven errors are charged up
against the Aquehonga team, three
to A. Knott, the shortstop; two to
Griffin, second baseman, and one
each to Hallowell and Knesel. Two
of the shortstop's miscues were
made in the first round, as were n
two credited to Griffin, while Halo

the opening session. KnesePs WIG

was mainly responsible for the Gu
bans counter register in this per-
iod. Tague and Burke played their
positions well.
The game last night was equally
as interesting as that of the prev
ious week, but for the fact that the
Aquehonga players were of the opln-
ion that they could not overcome
the "bix seven rolled by the Gu
bans the first time round. In the

COLLETT| HAS
ANOTHER kAY0
Referee Stops Bout in Third
dundee Beats
Sharkey

Joe Colletti, fyweight boxer we'll
known in this city, disposed OF
Henry Catena, Brooklyn flyweight,
in rapid fashion at Ebbetts field
last night. Colletti and Catena were
matched for the six round bout on
the same card with Johnny Dundee
and Jack Sharkey. Colletti is cred
tied with a technical Knockout in
this battle because of the fact that
the referee stopped the bout in the
third round.
Early in the first round, Collettl
started to administer punishment
to the fast travelling Brooklyn fly
weight and the opening session was
clearly in favor of the Poughkeep-
sic lad. In the second round, Cat
ena went down for a count of nine
and he had a hard time holding on
for the remainder of this session.
At the start of the third session,
Coiletti aimed to finish his opponent
and the bout was terminated when
the Brooklynite became covered
with blood, the result of a broken
nose. 1t was learned at this stage
that Colletti's sock to his opponents
face in the second round, had brok-
en- his nose.
Dundee Wins
In the main bout, Johnny Dundee
defeated Jack Sharkey in what was
declared to be a battle for the jun
ior lightweight title. Dundee out
classed Sharkey and dealt out severe
punishment.
