CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES
Teams to Attempt to Play Games Tonight-Othcr Contests All Washed Out by Rain.

The Inter-Church league, which has been pursued by rainy weather since its scheduled opening. will make another effort tonight, when three good games are carded for 6:45 o'clock at Willow Brook park. The Trinity Methodists. who finished in second place last year. will meet the Center Congregational church. The Methodists have not yet shown their wares this season, but the Center church displayed some good baseball in holding the Swedes to 5-3 count a week ago.
 The First Baptists and First Luth- erans will oppose each cher. The Lutherans have practically their same team back again and. with fair hitting and snappy fielding be- hind Fresen's steady hurling. will give trouble to any opponent. The Baptists. who have not played thus far. will also line up about the same as a year ago.
 The Everyman's Bible class is scheduled to meet the Stanley Me- morial church. The E. E. c. team failed to put in an appearance for it's first game and forfeited the con- test. but 1t is hoped that It's team os now ready to take the field. The Stanmors have been rained out in their scheduled games up to date, but they have been gathering a strong nine and hope to be 6 con- tender again this year.

FAIR WEATHER FOR
 BIG BOUT TONIGHT
hdoney.Shakey Fight Post.
 poned Because of Rain

New York. May 20.-R-Tex Rickard was up at tho count of nine today from the second right hand slam Jupe Pluyious has managed to land on his chin in 20 years of fight promotion.
 With guard high and jaw tucked behind his shoulder, Tex scanned a local weather report of "clear. fair and warm" for conditions at the Yankee stadium where yesterday deluge washed out his heavyweight elimination semi final" between the Boston sluggers. Jimmy Maloney and Jack Sharkey. If the rain-mak- CT manages to evade that guard again. the match may be postponed 6 week.
 Only once before in his long career has the weather man tolled a similar count on one of Richards feature outdoor attractions. That was in May. 1925, when Paul Der lenbach was delayed a day in win- ming the light heavyweight cham ponship from Michael McTigue be- cause of rain on the original date of the battle.
 Richards proverbial weather luck" has had two other narrow es- capes, however. He just evaded q postponement in May. 1928. when rain fell until noon on the day Jess Willard fought Floyd Johnson. Last fall threatening weather lowered over Jack Dempsey's title fray with Gene Tunney in Philadelphia until 15o.o00 persons had gathered in the sesqui- i-centennial stadium. Then the skies opened in the second round and the downpour thoroughly soak cd the mammoth assembly.
 Yesterdays storm. a steady down. pour that lasted all day. brought an- nouneement of postponement too late to catch all of tho fans flocking in from Boston to see their home town brides battle on a foreign field for the right to face Jack Dempsey in tho former heavyweight kings comeback effort in August. Several thousand enthusiasts arrived on overnight boats and each train dis gorged load until word of the postponement at II a. m. halted the invasion.
 Although the elements struck hard at the condition of the fight CTS. Richards prospects of a larger gate" were increased by the rain- fall. With the advance sale at $l75,- 900 yesterday, and the added days returns not in, the promoter de- clared the receipts would exceed by $5o.o0o his original prospect of ssoo.ooo "house."
 Tho battlers themselves saw no silver Things in the rain clouds. Both were in superb condition to sn'eT 'he ring last night for the Is round ssind and each feared that the extra day would take the fine edge from his condition.
 sharkey hustled right back to his gym here to get in a few rounds with the punching bags. Maloney stayed in his hotel room and con- tented himself with calisthenics, hoping not to add to the 2l0 pounds of brawn he will carry into the struggle tonight The loquacious was down to 1so pounds, but expected to scale 1s2 at the weighing in before the boxing com- at p. m. today.

C0LORED TEAM TO
 BATTLE BRISTOL
Philadelphia Giants Playing
 Endes at Muzzy Field Sunday

Bristol. May 2o-One of the spicl- est dishes on the local baseball calendar will be served up to the fans on the coming Sunday at Muz- zy Field when the Philadelphia Colored Giants one of the fastest colored hines in the east. will clash with the Bristol New Departure.
 The Philadelphians are recogniz- ed as a major league team in color and have been playing to capacity crowds in their exhibition games in New York and New Jersey, where they have compiled an enviable record with IS wins out of 21 starts. Some of the most outstand- ing baseball stars in the colored diamond circles grace the roster of the Giants. including Speed" Simmons. "Dazzy" Monroe and "Moisty" Murphy. three fingers who compare favorably with some of the hurlers in the major leagues.
 In addition to- presenting a smashing array of eluggers who are a constant menace to any pitcher. the visitors also have a mighty sweet infield and trio of outer gardeners who roam over plenty of territory. They also furnish an abundance of comedy and put plenty of pep and punch into their work.
 The Bearing Maker. fully realize the calibre of the dark-hued aggre- gation and will have to be at the peak of their form to come through with the decision. Manager Joe Carroll announces that he has pro- cured the services of Big Mike" Murray. former Lafayette college ace. to do the flinging for the Bris- tolites against the Philadelphians. Murray. who stands six feet three inches in his stocking feet and tips the Fairbanks 1t 1s7 pounds, has had plenty of experience in college circles as we'll as semi-pros ranks and has also had a trycut with the New York Giants. To date this sea- son he has won sev4n games in as many starts. four of them by the shutout route. During his five year regime in semi-pro baseball he has compiled 5e wins ani only 2 losses, and numbers among his victims such vaunted teams as the Hills dale Club. Bronz Giants, Lincoln Giants. Brooklyn Royal Giants and no.hit.no-run game against the Jamaica Cardinals.
 Sundays game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock (D. S. IT. and the advance sale of tickets point to a huge turnout of customers. The visitors batting order is as follows: Miller 3h. Jackson C. Allen cb. New som If. Johnson If. Porrist Of. Dill worth 1b, Green ss. Simmons. Murphy or Monroe p.

FAV0RITE OF KING
 BEN FASTENING
More Details of House of David
 UnfOlded

St. Joseph, Mich, May 20 (CP)- Details of the Inner circle' of the Court Of King Ben Purnell" at the House Of David religious colony will be added today at the states suit to dissolve the colony.
 Mrs. Dolly Smith Wheeler, a pret- ty and vivacious woman now only 3s years old, will be recalled to the stand and was expected to tell more of life within shiloh" mansion. where the leader lived. For several years Mrs. Wheeler was one of King Ben's favorites.
 King Ben was intimate with me before I was IS years old," Mrs Wheeler said from the stand yester- day. She said it was then she was taken into the inner circle"-a group composed of the prettiest girls of tho colony-through the belief she was being purified"
 Mrs. Wheeler was a convincing witness yesterday. She spoke clearly and at times smiled at friends about the court room.
 She said all the time she was at the house of David King Ben had the prettiest of the colony's girls at his mansion. She was there from 1918 to 1915.
 After refusing to believe Benja- min's intention and resisting his ad- vances in the belief he was merely trying my faith and did rot expect me 10 break the published tenets of the church through the purifying creed. ! finally submitted and was taken into the inner circle, the group of young girls with whom he had surrounded himself" Mrs. Wheeler said.
 We lived in the many rooms of Shiloh. two Of ths girls sharing each room," she added.
 We were privileged in that we didn't have to work as>the others did. Our sole duty was to wait on Benjamin and keep our quarters clean" she continued.
 Each evening we gathered in . .parlor and read the paper to Benja-- min. Most of the time he acted pa formally toward us, walking through the grounds with us. telling us of the faith in which we believed 50 thoroughly.
 ::'At times he was rude and foul. He shouted names at members of his circle" which would have shocked a sea captain. He was profane when he was crossed"
 Mrs. Wheeler said she was married in a group marriage in 1914. but the ordinary married life was neither permitted within the colony nor out side the colony when the mission aries were on speaking tours.
 The hearing probably will be ad- journed tonight until next Thursday. as Judge Fead will not be able to hold court until then.
