BAPTISTS ADOPT
NEW FISCAL PLAN
Executive Committee to Be
Administrative Head of
Southern Church.
BY tie Associated Press.

by TIE associated PreSS.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 13-De-
tie Southern Baptist Church were made
at the UNCONVENTIONAL convention
which closed here yesterday.
The convention adopted a new plan
for financing its varied activities.
After the present fiscal year ends, the
executive committee, with headquarters
at Nashville, will act as the administra-
tive head of the denomination, second
only to the convention itself.
Budgets for each board and agency
viii be made by the committee each
year, superseding the present method of
ellotttng each department problemati-
cal percentage of expected contributions.
Through a surprise move at the last
business session Saturday, the conven-
ton appointed a new home missions
board. The members of the old board,
which acted during the time Clinton S.
Carnes, convicted treasurer, embezzled
large amounts of the board funds. re-
quested that their places be filled by
others and this was done. DR.. L. r..
Christie, retiring president of the board,
was praised for his efforts to rehabili-
tate the boards shattered finances, and
retired at his own request.
The convention settled the constantly
recurring question of women'S privi-
ieges on the floor. A fight against al
lowing Mrs W. J. Cox of Memphis,
president of the Woman's Missionary
Union, to speak was defeated by big
vote. In her address Mrs. Cox offered
her opponents a gentle rebuke, recall
ing that mo woman slept in Geth-
semane. No woman denied Him. No
woman betrayed Him."
New plans for relieving aged pastors
and their dependents were rejected.
The messengers decided the present Gus
tom of requiring each beneficiary of the
ministers annuities to pay premiums
was better than proposal to lave each
church assume part of the burden for
its pastor.

When the New York Yankees assemble at their training base. they will find him many steps ahead in the conditioning grind for the baseball campaign.
 Babe doesn't know the word quit During his career he has been sci back by misfortunes from which . man with less stout heart never would have rallied. i@. Ruth Is intensely human. Suspen. sions and slumps, due to his own boyisf carelcssncss. have cost him much remorse. But after each slip he rallied to the high position. he holds in our national game.
 Just the other day he celebrated his 35th birthday. There has been talk of the Babe being on the verge of baseball retrogresston. But fan dom will be with him until the day they cut the uniform off his back. (Copyright, 1928. NEA Service. Inc

YALE QUINTET DEFENDS
 = THIRD PLACE TONIGHT
Hi Basketball Team Slated to Meet ColuSIslha Combination at New 
 NAve0

New York. Feb. 15 LT1-The Ellis of Yale defend their hold on third place in the intercollegiate basket ball league against the thrust of ,Columbia's Lions at New Haven to- night.
 Cofumbia's Lions. cellar occupants last season. have been making valiant efforts to rise out of the depts this year but so far with in- different success. After beating Princeton in their first start. the Lions dropped game at Hanover to Dartmouth and another 10 the league leading Pennsylvania five here Tuesday.
 In view of these two defeats Coiumbia's chances of turning back the Bulldogs on their own floor do not look particularly promising. Yale has been beaten by Penn, Cor nell and Dartmouth on foreign courts but their only home starts have resulted in victories over Dartmouth and Princeton. A vic tory for Yale will establish the Bull logs more firmly in third place with three victories and three defeats. If Columbia wins, however. the Lions will move into third place with two wins in four starts.
