DR.. Grant Uses Porch
OF His Church As
Bookshop
by Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Dr.
Percy Stickney Grants action in
using the porch of the Church
of the Ascension to sell his
book, 1.-THE Religion of Main
Street." today was a heated
topic of discussion in clerical
circles.
DR.. Grant asserted cold ladies'
objected to the advanced liberal
views of his book and caused
booksellers to boycott it.
So, after the service yester-
day, the porch became book
shop. The altar and vest1nent
committee, headed by Mrs.
Philip Lydig, whom the rector
is forbidden to marry by the
canons of the church, conducted
the book sale.
DIR. Grant also said the Bible
should be revised and brought
up to date in line with scientific
knowledge.

BRITAIN ORDERS
CURB On RUN
S|NUGGLING
West indian Governments In
structed to Scrutinize
Bills Of Lading.
By international News Service.

LONDON, April 23.-The foreign
office today issued new instructions
to the British West Indian govern,
ments for placing obstacles in the
way of liquor smuggling from Brit
ish soil into the United States.
Great Britain insists ship registra-
ton be made more stringent and
that all bills of lading be scrutinlzed
more carefully in the future.
Great Britain contends that only
the three-mile limit be recognized.
IL the United States insists upon a
fifteen-mile limit and acts outside
of the three-miIe zone, Great Britain
probably will consider it an inter-
national incident calling for diplo-
matte negotiations.
So far the British have not form
ulated any plan Of cooperation with
American patrols, but they believe
use of American destroyers along
the three-mile limit would make
rum smuggling impossible.

BILLIARD TABLE SLATE
SUBSTITUTE Is SOUGHT

NEW YORK, April 23.-Ten thou.
sand dollars has been offered for
an acceptable composition substi-
tue for the slate commonly used for
billiard table beds by the Brunswick
Bake Collender Company, whose di-
rectors met recently in Chicago.
Scarcity Of the higs grade of slate
needed for billiards has caused an
endeavor to find something more
economical which will produce as
good or better results.
M. Rensinger, president OF the
company, said only 20 per cent Of
the firms Vermont quarry output
Of slate was of the large dimensions
and perfect grain needed for billiard
tables. The by-products, such as
roofing, slabs and panels also pay
more than the billiard slate.

The St. Louis Stars won the last game from the Black Barons Tues day afternoon at Rickwood park by a score of 12 to T. This left the series well tied up, two games won each and two games tied.
 The Stars hoped on Watson, from the start and hit his offerings to all parts of the field. B.

Greene then went in and pitched good ball.
 The game was poorly played af- fair. Errors in the fold and wildly flung balls were numerous. The in- field ascended in the eighth and the Stars further added to their total.

Fohl in refusing to join the Browns players in protesting against the suspension of Pitcher Dave Danforth, it was said Dan forth was ordered out of a game with Philadelphia a week ago by Umpire Moriarity for alleged discoloration of ball. The players wanted to send a joint telegram to Ban Johnson, presi- view that Danforth had not violated any rules. When Fohl was asked to sign the telegram he declined, so it was not sent.
 George Sisler, star first sacker, who Is out of the game because of a vision defect, probably will become manager of the team as soon as his eyes per init, 1t was said. Until that time, Bill" Friel, the business manager of the club, probably will handle the team.

 HOME STAY WITH 4 DOUBLE HEADER
Stewards Men To Meet The Lookouts In Twin Bill At

Finding the Chattanooga Lookouts such "easy pickings," the Birming- ham Barons wili bring them home ries at Redwood park Weanesday afternoon in double-heaGer. The first game will start a. 2:15 o'clock. Another doIble-he ader will be play ed Saturday as the result of the day of idleness Friday on the day of the late Presidents funeral.
 The Barons will come into the Magic City Wednesday after com road trips that they have ever made and by far the best one made this season. The one series that marred the trip was the one at Me mphis in which the Chicks tool: two out of Nhree games from the Barons and sadly impeded their progress toward the first division. However since that series the Barons have encoun- tered the Lookouts and picked them four straight times and got a pop bottle shower thrown in for good measure.
 As the result of the additional of fering of pop bottles in Sunday aft ernoons. attack the Baronial man. ager, "Stuffy" Stewart, will direct the activities of his team from the bench for the next week or ten days. Stuffy has a bad throwing hand, showing the handiwork of a phy- sician- seamster in the index finger. His hand was split by flying bot tie and three stitches were taken in his finger.
 Holp Milner is playing the key stone while Stewart is on the bench. Miner has proved a valuable man since he came to the Barons and can play infield and outfield equally well. In addition he is a reliable hitter and makes the Barons a good utility man.
 The Barons will be at Redwood straight through for the rest of the month, except from 1y to 23. They will play Atlanta in the Cracker city on these three days. With long home stay and the Barons going at lch fast clip on the road chances look good for a speedy climb TOT the hOmelingS
