HERE'S WHAT AILS CHURCHES IN J. S.A. 20 Prominent Officials xoA Dis-
 cuss md Decide Question

New York. Feb. ! = The Mems Church league. composed Of 20 lu- minariea in church affairs. met at . luncheon in Madison Square hotel to answer tho question: "What is the matter with our churches?" and this is what they found:
 More than 33 Der cent of all Pres byterian. Northern Baptist and Methodist Episcopal churches in the United States failed to obtain . single convert last year.
 The year books of three denom- nations were studied. Dr. ". R. Patterson of the General Council of the Presbyterian church, presented the statistics.
 These year books showed that S,- a69 of the S,2SS Presbyterian churches in the United States did not add any converts on profession of one each. and still another 500 re- ported only two each. Of S.7st Bap- tist churches. 3.l74 obtained no con- verts. and of the 1s,5sl Methodist churches. l.Sbl had none.
 A total. therefore. of 11.SSl churches out of S4,575 in these thrse denominations won no converts, and several thousand reported only enc or two each. Although reports for other denominations wers not avail- able, officials of the league believed they would not show . better gen. eral average.
 Said J. Campbell White. general secretary of tho league: Church members had reached . point in working for foreign mission beyond which they should net Q until thsy had done more effective mtGsionafy work in their own communities.
 Said the Rev. J. Earle Edwards, pastor of the Queens Baptist church. Queens Village, L. L:1t is so sasy for red tape, sectarian organisations, theology, jealousy. opinienA svssy. thing but Jesus Christ and His sptrtt, to usurp the flrst place in the lives of pastors and church lsaAefs among the laity.
 Said Frank Fl. Merrill. assistant secretary of the natiooal campaign of the Protestant Episcopal ehusch. diocese of New York: Spiritual in- ertia and lax1neas.
 Similar luncheons will bs held every other week in the effort to awaken the churches.

North Dakota University Cage Champs Will Play Here
With Phantom Qunt and Wahpeton School of Science
UTILIZE ALL SPACE IN CIRCLE
MAKING TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP DEAN CROMWELL
IN HEAVING THE HEAVY SHOT

It is necessary that the entire
circle be utilized to advantage if the
shot putter is to get the most out
Of his heave. The momentum Of
travelling across the circle gives
distance.
Here is the way to make full use
Of the space allotted: With the
shot resting easily in the hand, we'll
up on the fingers, the weight Of
the body mostly on the right leg,
and with the left arm and left leg
extended and the left foot touch
ing the ground lightly for balance,
the left leg is given one or two
preliminary swings and then is
thrust straight ahead. At the same
instant a hop is taken forward on
the right foot.
This constitutes a hop of about
three feet and the athlete lands on
both feet, the right foot being ap-
proximately in the center Of the
circle. The left foot is then well
toward the front Of the circle and
about in the center of the stop
board. The feet are then reversed
and the body twisted sharply to
the left for the half turn. At the
end Of the reverse the shot is driven
forward and upward with the arm.
After the reverse, the athlete will
land with the right foot up against
the stop board and the left some
what to the rear. This affords
balance and keeps the putter in the
circle.
In going across the circle it is
important that progress be in a
straight line, the athlete taking
care to see that the right hip as
we'll as the right shoulder are kept
back rather than allowed to slip
forward before the reverse. Since
the idea is for the youth to get be-
hind rather than under the shot
the hop should not be high in the
air. Neither should it be started
too quickly.

Devastating Left Hook on

Sparring Match Tuesday

Can a 122-pound man hit hard

"You bet he can," chorus the

in his upper jaw. Examination by
the garrison physician revealed a
fractured maxilla and Curstinger
was admitted to the post hospital.

siders Of Chicago's baseball. If
confidence, youth, speed and dash
will carry baseball team to victory,
the Cubs, says Mccarthy, are "in."
The National League pilot be-
lieves the squad has improved both
defensively and extensively over
last season. He has added the vet
eran and colorful "Kiki' Cuyler,
whose record every ardent baseball
fans knows, and number Of minor
leaguers who bring much to the
various departments.
Cuyler stepped from the Pitts
burgh Pirate bench to a regular
berth as right fielder for the Chi.
cago Club. Mccarthy says without
question that the injection of the
1925 worlds series hero into the
lineup will improve the cubs power
to a great degree. The former
Buccanecr has been using his
bludgeon with much vigor and sue

1t is in the pitching department
that Mccarthy thinks the greatest
Improvement will be in evidence.

Guy Bush is back from 1..1 hospi-

from jaunt into other territory.
Southpaw Percy Lee Jones and
Bob Osborne, handicapped last year
by sore arms, are showing a world
of stuff. Mccarthy considers
Charley Root, winner Of more games
last season than any other Nation
al League pitcher, as good or better
than he was in the 1927 pennant
campaign.
A lack Of relief hurlcrs, brought
forward as one reason for the Cubs

ton of Perez Malone. obtained from

for the cubs.

the way things look it lines up
much in this shape:
First base-Charles Grimm, with
Joe Kelly, outfielder, as an UNDER
study.
Second base-Fred Mcguire or
Norman Mcmillan.
Shortstop-Woody English, with
Clyde Beck to relieve him.
Third base-Eliner Voter, or John
Butler.
The 20-year.old English seems to
have first call at short, with Beck
player yet to be reckoned with.
Mcguire, Mcmillan and Butler are
newcomers. Mcguire came from,
Toledo with batting average of
1926, Mcmillan from St. Paul with
1906, and Butler from Brooklyn in
the National League where his
stick work for the season averaged
.239. Mcmillan was the keyman Of

Riggs Stephenson, who ranked as
the fourth best batsman in the
league last season, with a mark of

rotund Hack Wilson, whose stick
work averaged .317, has the call in

SEITZ, CRACK
MANDAN eager,

Mandan Hopes For State
Championship Dimmed by
Loss of Star Forward

Blair Seitz, star Mandan forward,
will not play in the tournament for
the high school cage championship
Of North Dakota at the State Train
ing school gym in Mandan on Fri.
day and Saturday.
Seitz sustained a severely
sprained ankle late yesterday after
noon on the Brave drilling floor just
before the practice session was
about to close.
Examination by a doctor last
night revealed that several liga-
ments were torn in the ankle and
and he Immediately ordered the
crack shot Of the Braves to bed.
Mandan's hopes for the state
championship received severe blow
when the news Of Seitz's loss per-
meated throughout the city and to-
day the fans are specializing on
Coach Leonard McMahan's ability
to replace his lost forward.
Seitz Was Outstanding
Seitz was the outstanding star of
the Mandan team in the district
tournament. He was also the high
scorer Of the tourney and was named
one of the 10 outstanding players on
the floor.
There is but slight hope that he
will be able to participate in the
games.
Mandan drew what is regarded
by many fans as the eventual cham
pion of the tourney-Grand Forks
for the first game. If Mandan can
beat the Forkers there is a posi-
bility that Seitz may be able to join
his rage brethren for the semifinals
on Saturday but no hope is held out
for his appearance against Bob
Cortright's quint.
Russell and Morris were the first
call substitutes during the, district
meet and it is likely that one or the
other will be sent to Seitz's post by
McMahan. Both boys are young
sters with little experience but they
play hard basketball and the incen-
tive to fight may prove them worthy
Of the injured stars position.

In long distance telephone CONVEX
sations, both Glenn Lctich, mentor

with the opportunity of playing a
game for the disputed title.
Negotiations for the games were
started at the instance of various
members Of the board Of administra-
tion of the state who felt that the
State School of Sceince had a right

kota and the Wahpeton Science
quints are composed Of players who

p;onship this year, has been
unanimously named all-conference
forward by loop coaches for the past
American forward at Chicago as a

Of 1925 in the national prep meet.
Captain-e!ect Paul Boyd Of Bould-
err, Colo, was for three years named
forward ard captain of the Boulder
Props and earned al-statc honors
for the same number of Years. His
team had the distinction of twice
defeating the national champions Of
1923-Windsor. Colo. Boyd has also
been named all-North Central CON-
ference forward and guard for the
past two years.
Valley City Trio
The three other members Of the
yarsity's frs. string lineup all hail
from Valley City. They are Levy
