heard by listener on ships on the
Atlantic and rebroadcast.

Ceylon.
It took only or,e-thirty- second of
a second for the sound waves to
cross and recross the Atlantic, &C
cording to experts of the Radio Cor

Nine powerful stations in this
country were. linked together for

Bishop, Manning For
Sunday Athletics

NEW YORK, Jan. Bishop
William I. Manning of New York
created a stir at the National Col
legiate Athletic Association meeting
a. the Astor today when he declared:
Sports have as important and
as real place in our lives as
prayer and 1 see no reason why
a well played game of polo or
football is not just as pleasing
to God as beautiful service in
a cathedral.
I'VE want to make it UNI
mistakably clear that we of the
church approve of the playing
of games of golf and tennis on
Sunday provided we do not let
them take the place Of proper
religious duties. Commercialized
sports on Sunday are not advis-
able because they make lot Of
people work for us instead of
allowing more to participate.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-01-02

Sports are so good however that
they have their place on any day.
What we want is both of these
things in the proper proportions.
Let US get away from the idea
that we must have one set OF
men for playing and another set
Of men for praying.
1.-THE building of the sports bay
in the cathedral is one Of the
things that gives me most salts
faction, because it gives the
proper emphatic recognition to
an idea, the idea of the true rela-
ton of sports and religion in life,
in the greatest edifice in the new
world.
forms of spiritual exercise, be-
cause it produces fairness, self.
control, team work-which is an
other form of self-sacrifice-and a
sense Of honor, qualities essential
to true manhood and true woman
hood"
