NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-One day in
the summer of 1922, Adolfo Luque,
the Cuban pitcher, held over by the
Cincinnati Reds from the staff that
won the pennant and sour world
| series Of 1919, became SO Disguised
with his luck he cleaned out his locker
at the Reds ball yard and quit the
team.
It-seems that every time Luque
pitched, some one gave a signal for
the team to play soccer with the ball
and it was kicked to all quarters OF
the yard.
Pitched Well, but Lost
Adolfo pitched better than most
pitchers, but still lost. The better he
pitched the worse the team would field
behind him.
Pat Moran with his soothing phil
osophy and soft, sympathetic eye, won
Adolfo Luque back 10 the team and
he set his hopes for 1923.
Now the pitching averages for 1923
have been Issued. showing Adolfo did
we'll to listen to Pat Moran that time,
for the name of Adolfo Luque leads all

And a comparison Of Luque's show

ports the notion that a pitcher who
can pitch at all, cannot be judged on
the averages for one season alone.

Failing rain is likely al any time to
drive into a room and damage the floor,
wallpaper and furnishings. One man
ufacturer has devised an electric rain
alarm which will give warning as rain
in any quantity falls into'a room. The
device consists Of a box and a battery,
a buzzer, a small electric light and a
switchboard arrangement that holds
what the maker calls a "raino-disc."
The box Is put on the window sill at
night when the window Is left open for
ventilating purposes. The falling rain
drops on the disc, switches on the cur
rent and throws both light and buzzer
Into circuit. The buzzer awakens the
sleeper and the light shows which win

CHURCH SPLIT SPREADING

peared to be on the verge of becom

both Methodist and Presbyterian
circles, where there are evidences Of
the same sort Of split developing, 1t
was said.
An effort to drive out Of the pull
pits and even out of the ministry of
the Presbyterian church all clergy

Give articles Of faith" will be made
by the fundamentalists at the next
meeting Of the general assembly in
May, according to DR.. William f.
Merrill, pastor of the Brick Presby-
terrain church, Of New York.
1T was to resist that movement
which we knew was coming" he
said that about 40 Presbyterian
clergymen met last June and organ
lied. We have met a number OF times
since and may soon give our verdict
to the public. The issue in all the
churches is basically the same. The
fundamentalists believe that all other
viewpoints than their WI should be
excluded. We believe the more view
points In the church the better. They
want authority. We want liberty.
This is not a controversy between
the so-called modernists and funda-
m~entalists. 1t is between the liber-
ais, who believe IN tolerance and the
clergy who don't"
