Episcopals Refuse
to Pass Anti-Dry .
Resolution. New York

Garden City, n. T., May 16-The
Long Island diocesan convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church by
a vote of 90 to 81 refused to pass a
resolution requesting Governor Smith
not to sign the repeal of the Mullan-
Gage prohibition enforcement law.
The resolution was introduced by
Milton L. Ecluse. a layman from
Huntington, n. ", and was opposed
by Rev. DR.. Henry c. Swentzel. rec
tor of st. Lukes church, Brooklyn.
A move to reconsider the resolu-
ton also was defeated.
Dr. Swentzel. in opposing the re-
solution, declared one of the chief
reasons why Governor Smith prob
ably would sign the repeal bill was
that the Mullan-Gage law put
person in jeopardy twice for the
same offense. He also asserted that
the sale of drugs had apparently in
creased since prohibition, while the
number of murders and suicides had
not shown decrease.
None Of us favor saloons" he
said, but we are all in favor of
liberty. I stand for reasonableness,
broad mindedness and love of liberty.
We have no interest in the saloons
of the bootleggers but what we do
care for is that nothing shall done
to lower the standards of freedom
on which this country was found

Play at Home
Advises Michigan
Athletic Director

Ann Arbor. Mich. May 16-(Ry
A. F., Intersectional athletic contests
find small favor with Fielding II.
Yost, director OF athletics at Mich
igan. Replying to recent criticism of
Michigan's withdrawal from the
Eastern Collegiate A. A., and the
Eastern intercollegiate track and
field meet in New York May 25 and
26,eiYost gave two reasons why he
opposes intersectional competition
for the Maize and Blue.
Aichigan's natural athletic oppo-
nents. he declared, are in the Middle
West particularly in the Western
Conference. and he believes the
Wolverines relations should be linz
tied largely to these opponents. He
cited proximity and mutual regard
as the basis for this opinion.
Declaring that athletics are and
always should be but a contributary
Factor to the main purpose of college
work, that Of educating and fitting
youths for their life's work, Yost
pointed out that Michigan's regular
schedule will take members of the
track squad away from classes as
much as he considers safe and con-
sistent.
The whole matter" Yost de-
clakst. resolves itself, as before, to
tins natural and most feasible selec-
ton OF opponents. We know each
other in the Middle West and we can
oily reach each other. There is
tuai regard among US. Perhaps
Inc east we would be strangers"

BrishOp and Clergy

Portland, Me-, May 1G-The Maine
Episcopal diocese convention at its
closing sessions today named COM
mittees to arrange for the entertain
ment of the delegates to the Pro-
vincial Synod of New England to be
held here in October.
Bishop Thomas Frank Gailor Of
Tennessee, president of the National
Council declared tonight before the
church club that the Episcopal
church has great contribution to
make to the United States. He pro-
nounced it the one church having
national organization, which has not
allowed politics to divide it. He said
this was true during and after the
Civil War
"One of the glories of the EPISCOPAL
church is that it never has divorced
religion and morality. the two are the
same he asserted. He said the
church has great opportunity in
Maine and he closed by paying trib-
ute to Bishop Brewster, the clergy
and laity.
The Venerable Archdeacon E. J.
Dennen Of Boston. chairman of the
Boys Work Division, declared the
church cannot afford not to recruit
the spirit Of youth in its work. He
urged an apepal to the boy by ap-
preaching him through his instinct
for play.
If the church grows in manhood it
must grow in boyhood," he concluded.

WEATHER RAISES
Cain WITH ELM
CITY BASEBALL
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

especial to kennebec JOurnal)
Waterville, May 16.-Again the
bad weather conditions caused the
postponemeut of several baseball
games this afternoon in Waterville.
The game of the day was to be the
annual Waterville- Lawrence clash on
the Colby college field but the poor
condition of the playing field caused
the college officials not to allow the
playing of the game.
There was considerable mixup
about the cancellation Of the game
as it appeared that when Professor
Edwards OF the college left with the
baseball team for the trip into
Massachusetts, he left the field in
charge of the college janitor with
strict orders to call off any scheduled
games if the surface of the field was
not good. The janitor and some of
the assistant managers of the Colby
teams notified the Waterville high
manager that the field could not be
used and in some way the local
school manager confused things so
that the Lawrence high team and
half of the school appeared on the
field shortly after half past three to
witness the game. Coach Hendricks
and Coach Hollis got together anc
settled the matter. although Principal
Stewart of the Lawrence high was a
little put out over the failure of the
local manager to notify them.
Coach Hendricks of the Waterville
aggregation offered to play the Law
renee team tomorrow afternoon if the
weather conditions are suitable and
made arrangements with Principal
Stewart to have the game come off
here.
The annual Delta Kappa Epsilon
Phi Delta Theta baseball game was
scheduled for earlier in the after
noon but was also called off when
the showers began to fall this morn
ing. This affair is one of the humor
classics on the campus. yearly.
The game between the Coburn
seconds and the Besse High school
of Albion was also cancelled early
this morning when it was seen that
the Coburn field was in pood shape.
The game will be played off Friday.
