At a recent meeting of the Beau

pointed to coach and manage the

This years eleven will be made
up of members of the Beauvais Post
Junior team, for the past two years,
along with five or six regulars of

lighter calibre will be played at the

BY BILLY EVANS

Which is the more scientific foot
ball or baseball?
With football about ready to
break into the sport pages, and bat
tie baseball for space, it is an inter-
esting and timely query.
During the past month I put the
question to a score of former foot
ball stars who are now playing base
ball.
Twelve of the players thought
baseball was more scientific, called
for quicker thinking, demanded
more of the individual as an indi-
vidual. -Four leaned to football
while four thought it vas about
fifty-fifty.
Practically every n of the play
ers expressed the opinion that base
ball offered a greater field for indi-
vidual supremacy. All were agreed
that football called for more on
certed team play.
when a pitcher is a marvel like
Mathewson or Johnson, such 8
ewirler would stand out in baseball
IL he WA on the worst team in the
world said one OF the former col
legians in explaining his opinion.
"Place a football star of equal abil-
ity on joke eleven and the gridiron
celebrity would not stand out near
ly so brilliantly.
Grid Stars Need Help
Football calls for defense. If one
player has marked ability but is on q
weak team, tNat player has little or
no chance to shine when pitted
against a strong team. Such a situa-
ton would e in a. sense eleven
players pitted against one, and take
it from me the one, no matter how
great a star, wouldn't even get start
ed.
Put Babe Ruth on any kind of a
club and his ability to slam out
home runs wouldn't be impaired in
the least"
Individual Shines in Baseball
Eddie Collins in his day at Column
bia was a star quarterback. Today
Eddie Collins is regarded as a master
OF baseball strategy, n of the
brainiest players in the history of
the game. 1t struck me that Collins
was the ideal player to have drawn
a comparison.
"A lot of new stunts have crept
into football since I played it," re-
marked Collins when I asked him

the Dempsey-Greb bout is put across
the Pittsburgh battler can indeed
boast of an unusual record.

prised the country by staying fifteen
rounds with Dempsey at Shelby,
Montana, several months ago. There
are few good middIeweight boxers at

Woman Evangelist Here Four
Months Gathers Band at
Wesley Chapel.

At the Old Wesley Memorial
Chapel, corner of F'ifthand F streets,
an unusual work is being conducted.
Miss MattA e. Perry. who has
been in this city for the past
four months has gathered around
her little band of people for heal
ing and comfort. These people,
led by Miss Perry, are going out
visiting the "shut-ins." People
who have been confined either to
their beds or to a single room,
are receiving these visitors who
bring cheer and comfort and pray
ers for the afflicted. Unlike most
humans who quickly forget one who
has helped them, this little band
of people cling around the Old
Wesley Memorial wanting to help,
having been helped. Constant calls
are made for Miss Perry, who has
the auto service OF several friends
whom she has helped. Every MORN
ing she makes her rounds in answer
to many letters which she receives
from "shut-ins."
Yesterday a closed car drove up
to the Old Wesley Memorial and
in the back seat was an elderly
woman. She is "shutin", brought
to Miss Perry ever so often, AID

In the car with her and prays.

ments.
TN the vanguard of the Wash
4 ingtonians attending the meet
ing of the American Bar Asso-
citation in Minneapolis this week
are Mr.. and Mrs. Wade Ellis,
who leave today. Mr.. Ellis has
an especially keen. interest in the
conference this year, since ne
has Just returned from an Eu-
fopean trip undertaken as a
member of the committee ap:
pointed by the Bar Association to
make a study of legal procedure
abroad. His report has been al
ready submitted. blu. there will, of
course, be much to talk. over.
Former Gov. Charles s. Whit
man was another member of the
committee and the third who
made the journey was Judge Cav
anaugh. There were two other
members, Judge Farnham, of st
Paul. and Mrs. Annette Adams,
sometime Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, but they were not able to
make the journey.
1t must have .heen a wonderful
trip. Mrs. Whitman accompanied
the governor and Mrs. Ellis was
with her husband; and they were
entertained right royalty wher-
ever they went. In London, as
YOU doubtless remember, Mrs.
Ellis and Mrs. Whitman were
presented at court, and they had
an exceedingly pleasant taste of
English society, attending a num-
Der Of house parties and other
festivities at country houses.
In Paris, too, the Ellises had
wonderful time, for the American
ambassador. Myron T. Herrick,
was an old friend. Mr.. Ellis had
been attorney general Of Ohio
when Mr.. Herrick was governor,
and he couldn't do enough for
them. In addition to number
of parties in town, Mr.. Herrick
arranged a trip through the bat.
tlefields for them, with courier
and a guide, which was one Of
the delightful features of their
trip.
On their return to this country,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis took a motor
trip through the Adirondacks-
this time a pleasure trip pure
and simple. And now, a few
days after they have returned,
they are setting out again for
Minneapolis.
