Leader Says.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA Ga, December 6.-The
growth of secret organizations con-
tossing Christian purposes and seek
ing to effect them by un-Christian

The divisive and sectarian spirit
that expresses itself in competitive
,ivalries has too long been the scan
DIAL of American Christianity. We
must become conscious of our fellow
ship in the heritage of faith and the
Federal Council must help US to gain
this consciousness and then become
the means of the expression of 1t to
ourselves and to the world
The growth of secret organiza-
tions confessing Christian purposes
and seeking to effect them by un-
Christian methods, and so defeating
the very purposes they seek, is
nemesis upon the free churches OF
America, resulting from their failure
20 realize their essential unity and
The resulting failure to give any

BARONS BEATEN
 IN OPENER, l3-O Crackers Cop First Con- test With Kinnere On
 The Mound

The principals in the struggle was the only thing that changed as the At lanta Crackers opened series at Rick wood park Monday. The result re- mained constant, that being so the Niehoffs' walloped the Barons, 13 to O. The hopeless homelings who offered so little resistance to the pennant-mad Chicks here during the entirety of last week, offered no more, to the chase-wild Crackers as they continue to put up their gallant battle for the pennant in the face of such heavy odds and with apparently such pitiful futility.
 Five Baron errors and Il Cracker bingles were checked in by the visitors to account for their scores. The Me hoff crew made an even dozen tallies in the last three innings, as the Barons scared skyward in an altitude flight. The few fans who visited the scantly tenanted baseball stands were some what perplexed that it did not come earlier for the Barons usually make no bones when they go up and stage no preliminary preparations.
 Kinnere Pitches
 Mir. Kinnere, a new face on the Cracker roster since it's last appearance here, twirled for the Georgia nine Tues day and the Barons did not have but about one chance and they tossed 1t away with glorious abandon. Kin nere allowed the Stewards a half-dozen hits and they were nicely distributed along the line of battle.
 Delmar Lundgren was on the mound for the Barons and he stayed there during the game as his teammates slipped and skidded about while the Atlanta .sluggers were peppering the field with bingles. There was no use to put in another pitcher. It is never any use at Redwood. It is like swap ping a blind horse for a broke-down mule.
 The battle was well behaved con test until the seventh inning. The Crackers had tallied one run in the fourth on Smiths walk, Lundgren's CT. TOT and a double steal by Smith and Mann, which brought the forward run ner over the plate and Mann to third
 In the seventh frame, however. the complexion of the onslaught changed and the scene which was enacted short ly afterwards made the fans feel more at home for 10 games are as far re moved from Redwood as Perry's dis covery from Doc Cooks findings.

'GATORS DOWN \. ;. <. AT HARD. WORK Van Fleet Priming Eleven For Georgia Tech '-t Game

!. GAINESVILLE, Fla, Sept. 16.- Especial. )-Members of the University of Florida pig skin squad unlimbered their muscles Tuesday afternoon, when they spent an hour more or less in running down punts.
 Captain "Ark" Newton, known throughout the south aS a kicker of no mean ability, was in charge of the punt ing, being ably assisted by Edgar Jones and Johnnie Murphee.
 Last season Jones was unable to kick due to an injured knee, but at the pres ent time it seems as if Coach Van Fleet is intending to use the star quarter in and "Ed" working the Gator spiraling every member of the Gator squad 45 huskies reporting for the second regular practice of the season.
 '"Tiny" Chaplin, brilliant 19O-pound full. back of the 1923 rat eleven, made his appearance Tuesday afternoon for the first time. Tiny" despite not hay ing been at the To-day camp in St. Augustine, is in excellent condition and Gator football enthusiastics are due to hear from this youngster before the season closes.
 Coach Van Fleet is spending quite a little time in putting his proteges through stiff course in setting up ex- ercises, specializing in his famous "duck-walk." The linemen, under the tutelage of Coaches Sebring and Tip ton, are displaying speed in large quar- titles. The backfield men are being drilled in the Gator goose-step, which proved so puzzling to opposing elevens last season.

JIM BOTTOMLEY
 MAKES RECORD

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-"Sunny Jim" Bottomley, first baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, established a new major league record today when he batted in 12. of his teams 17 runs against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Bottomley went to bat six times, hitting two home runs in succession, a double and three singles for a total of 13 bases. There are many records for total bases by any player in a single game is 17, but the records fail to reveal any player who has batted in 12 runs during a game.
 BOttomley broke the record of the man-who made the mark when the lat ter was sitting on the bench watch ing the performance. The former record of Il runs batted in during a game was made on June 10, 1892 by Wilbert Robinson, present manager of the Brooklyn team, when Robbie was play ing with the Baltimore National league team against St Louis,

BULLDOGS WIN
 OVER BULLPUPS
Howard Regulars Score One Touchdown In
 Game With Rats

The Howard Bullpups and Howard Bulldogs staged another of their hot battles Tuesday afternoon on Berry Field in which the varsity won out by a lone touchdown. Captain Stevens ran about twenty yards around end for the counter, which kept the score from going down as a to tie. He kicked field goal for point after touchdown.
 The Bullpups put up tough resistance and the varsity eleven had to scrap for every inch of ground gained. Several nice runs by Stevens and line buck by Casey and Mccarthy enabled the Bull dogs to threaten on several occasions, but the Bul1pups held firm when crowded near their goal line and only on the one occasion did the varsity manage to get the ball across. The game Tuesday was one similar to the Saturday afternoon contest in which the Rats defeated the varsity, 8 to o.

 For the Rats there were several men who showed up well in stopping the rushes of the eleven first string can- didates. Brown and Smith, pair of husky tackles for the freshmen. were in the plays at all times and the plunges of the varsity were checked often by them. In the backfield the playing of Wright and Weber also fea- tured while the work of Bill Bancroft at quarter was largely responsible for the lowness of the score.
