For the last two seasons this honor
has rather been thrust upon me.
The heavy responsibilities attached
thereto, the lack of facilities and
real cooperation renders my position
disadvantageous rather than person

bainly imagine
What about publicity? "The League
seems to be too big thing for the
newspapers; they don't seem to grasp
the situation properly, with proper
cooperation the League and the
NEWSPAPERS have wonderful possible
ties"
There now, you have at least some
of both sides. The writer merely
suggests to the people continuance
of support of the League, for after
all it is your league. 1t means more
of National Development along racial
lines than one can at first imagine
as we have already pointed out. To
Mr.. Foster we would say that the
people admire your baseball genius
as demonstrated i'm the organization
and direction of the American Giants
but they hope and believe that your
greater genius will be shown In the
solid construction of NATIONAL
NEGRO BASEBALL LEAGUE that
will stand the test of time.

the baseball magnate easv to question

Why can't we have more uniform

control of parks, and the financial

difficulties always to be considered.
Kansas City, despite its being good

Religion is Our Great Concern

for students only because the Chapel
will only hold l,400 people. And
then il will be up TO the old Union
Church to come on and put on the
cap sheaf.
Surely these are great days-the
birthdays Of soulsl The decisions
that are made in these meetings will
tell for the Kingdom Of God long
after the present preachers and work
ers have passed to their rewards.
And this is a mighty good time
for everybody to get onto the Gospel
wagon. Come when others are COM
ing. Come when you are not more
deeply entangled in sin. Come when
friends are praying for you and in
wiling you.
And we note not few old church
members who are renewing their
youth in these meetings. Religion is
worth talking about, worth sacrific.
ing for, worth more than all on
earth besides. Religion is the great
est thing in the world
