WHITSUNDAY SERVICE
j PLANNED TOMORROW
Episcopal Churches to Celebrate
Important Date in Christian
Calendar.
SPECIAL MUSIC A FEATURE
Programs for Children Arranged
by Several Congregations.

Tomorrow will be celebrated in
the Episcopal churches of the coun-
try as Whitsunday. According to
the story of the early Christian
Church as recorded by st. Luke in
the Acts of the Apostles. the apos-
ties were endowed with special grace
from heaven ten days after the as
cension of Jeasus Christ. AS the as
cension is recorded as having taken
place forty days after Easter, 1t fol-
lows that Whitsunday falls on the
first day of the eighth week after
Easter day.
The name, which is an early Eng
lsh word. is thought by some to be
derived from White Sunday" So
called because of the white robes
worn by those who were baptized at
spoken of as the birthday of the
Christian Church." but that designa-
tion needs explanation. 1t is said
that the church was founded by
Christ himself either at the time at
which he assembled the twelve apos-
resurrection, when He taught them
things concerning the Kingdom of
Heaven"
Beginning of Organization.
The coming of the Holy Ghost to
the apostles in Jerusalem ten days
after our Lords ascension marks the
beginning of an organization or men
functioning as the Christian Church
under divine inspiration and guild
ance.

Has he n good arm .?

Has he good arm
 Is he accurate in his throwing? How does he play a runner at the plate?
 Not so many years ago they were three vital questions asked when a major league club was thinking e buying some highly toutel catching recruit.
 4 good arm was most necessary essential if the recruit was to receive the slightest consideration. A catch or with weak arm didn't have chance to break into the majors.
 As in other departments of play. the requirements of big leagio catcher have undergone many changes. No longer is the importance Of q good throwing arm stressed. There are other features more vitally important.
 Manager Leo Fohl of the Boston Red Soy. in his day q mighty good receiver. is very positive in his opin- ion that the catching requirements Of today are decidedly different from those Of . years ago.
 "A speedy, accurate throwing arm is no longer catcher's greatest as- set" says Fohl "It is well to have it but not at all necessary. Why? Well simply because the catchers don't have to do much throwing any more.
 Pew Try To steal
 "Base running is almost lost art. Trying to steal base is a rather an- tiquated theory on scoring runs. II is 6 rarity these days for a catcher to make more than one throw to second iB an effort to block steal. In great many games the catcher won't be called upon to make a single throw 10 that base.

SUPERSTITION HAS
 BIG PART IN GAME
Many Players Bow to Its Psycho'
 logical Effect
(By Billy Eyans)

Athletes are the most superstitioui | folks in the world. It Is really amusing
 the part 1t plays in life. Perhaps ir
 no sport Is the hoodoo. tinx or super. stition played to such an extent as ir baseball. Every player has a certain ! hobby, fear or superstition. There if
 Eddie Collins. one of the brainiest and
 most intelligent players In the game
 yet Collins has certain set peculiari-
 ty.
 The next time you see Collins in
 action keep your eye on the wad of
 gum that is deposited on the button on the top of his cap.
 In the field Collins chews gum con- stantly. The moment the side is re- tired he removes said gum from his mouth and places 1t on the button on his cap. If Collins does not come to bat during the inning the gum remains there until he takes his place in the field. The magic of the gum hinges around Collins when he comes to bat. The gum remains in position until the count reaches two strikes, then he re- moves same, places II fin his mouth and is ready for the third strike. He wouldn't think of continuing at bat after two strikes had been called with the gum still on his cap.
 Well do l recall a game in which gum refused to respond to the usual pluck. Collins called for time while he stepped out Of the batter's box and carefully removed gum from button and placed same in his mouth.
 Knowing the peeuliarites of the players, wise pitchers often gain a working margin by calling upon Old Man Psychology to get in his work. One day last summer sam Jones, star pitcher of the New York club, came to me before game with Detroit and told me that the Tygers thought he was rubbing the ball on his trousers, thereby producing a smooth spot that enabled him to get an unusual break on the ball. He informed me that he was merely rubbing the back of his hand on his trousers and that the ball in no way came in contact with same. He said the Tygers were suspicious and he wanted to have them watch his methods rather than his pitching.
 Jones struck out the first man to face him. Each time prior 10 starting hits delivery, he rubbed the hand con the ball on his trousers. Im- after the third strike there q protest from Detroit.
 While satisfied that Jones was not with the ball, his actions made it seom as if he was and l re- ! luested that he refrain from doing so ! During the rest Of tho game sam worked naturally but all the time am inclined to think the Tygors were his method Of delivery more han the ball. On another occasion . ast year. while sitting on the New ork bench. ] saw Jones take n cup ull Of water and throw il on his right i rouser leg just above the knee. Ii made a big black spot. l asked Sam his motive. hc merely smiled and re- piled. "1'll bet the visitors pay more Intention to that spot, thinking l am heating. than they do 10 my pitching.
 hope they do, it will greatly help ny chances to win"

the runner at the plate is no longer 8 big item with a catcher. Not man, runners are thrown out at the plate these days. Trying the double stea to score a run is more or less a rarity In other words. plays at the plate in which the catcher must put the bal on the runner are the exception
 Far more important than n good arm. and finesse in playing a runner at the pate, are these sis qualified. tions" explains the Red Sox manager:
 Six Qualifications
 "Ncchanics of Game-Great natural ability in doing the mechanical things the expert catching of foul flies, han ding the delivery of the pitchers and the playing Of balls batted in front Of the plate.
 "KnowledEe of hattcrs--F'amiliarit rity with the weakness and strength Of all the batters in your league.
 "Temperament--A disposition that isn't easily fussed by any situation that may arise on the field.
 "Strategy--Figuring out what the opposition may try to do and then set about to break np their plan by hay ing tho pitcher work properly.
 Judgment of Pitchers Knowing how 10 rate a pitchers stufT. steady him when uusc tiled, and making a final decision when he seems to have lost his Effectiveness.
 "Tntuition--That word is rather hard to explain. Ii would be better to say baseball brains.
 Give mo a catcher with those six assets and | wouldn't care if he had to shot-put or roll the ball to second"
 Inquestionably Fohl's theories are rather revolutionary, but they strike me as being decidedly logical.
