1 sincerely believe the Pirates of 1880
are going to be mighty agreeable sur
prise. l feel that our team has been
materially strengthened over last year,
and 1t is beyond reason to fear that
the injuries of last year will repeat.
Our club has a new first baseman in
Gus Suhr, purchased from San Fran
cisco. We have been Watching TINS
player for several years and feel con-
fident he will early become one OF the
stars of the National League. Suhr Is a
powerful batsman never has finished
season with an average less than 800.
He Is a consistent eXtra-base hitter, as
witness his record of last year--202
games, batted in All runs besides scor-
ing 1876 himself; 81 home runs, 6 triples
and So doubles, for an average OF 1881.
He was picked by coast sporting writer's,
without one dissenting vote, the best
first baseman of the coast all-star team.
Grantham in Condition.
George Grantham, who was out half
Of last season with injuries, has been
taking intensive treatment all Winter
and reports that Re is in the best con-
dition of his career. There is not any
thing In base ball he cannot do when
he is in shape physically. His presence
in the lineup for the entire season
should prove a tower of strength and
fill a vital spot where we were weak
last season after he left the lineup
because of injuries.
We have four candidates for short
stop, two of whom We know could go for
most major league clubs. Dick Bartell
and Stuart Clarke. The new men are
Ben Sankey and Charles Engle.
Unquestionably our pitching will be
better, and that is most important. Our
older men, Grimes, Kremer and Petty,
should turn in better records the COM
ing season. Grimes was out for long
time with a bad hand last year and we
missed him. Petty last season was the
victim of some of the toughest luck
ever have seen in base ball. 1t is hard
to believe that it will follow him through
1880.
OF our younger men who were with
us last year. Brame undoubtedly VIII re-
peat his excellent record of 1929, while
Swetonic, French and Meme all should
improve greatly.
Glenn Spencer Promising.
In new material we have Glenn Spen-
Ger, second to the leader in the West
ern League last year with "a victories
against only nine defeats to his credit
He has made q remarkable record all
through his Professional career and
should make the grade. We also have
Lii Stoner, who pitched great ball FOL
Fort Worth last season, and who has
had plenty Of major league experience
at Detroit. Several other youngsters OF
promise complete the staff.
Our catching staff will have the add
ed strength of Albert Bool purchased
from Baltimore late last season.
There should be no question as to the
ability of our outfield with Paul and
Lloyd Waner and Adam Generously as
assured regulars, with Fred Brickell
who could go on any major league club
and Ira Flagstead as substitutes OF the
younger substitutes James Mosolf should
be valuable as a pinch hitter.
All in all, I am thoroughly satisfied
with our prospects. We were pretty good
last year, and I know we will be better
the coming season.

Modernistic Styles in New Churches

portions of traditional columns for support
Modern architecture relies upon colors and
rich materials to replace decorative effects in
design.
Small-town churches, few years ago, were
usually drab severe and uninviting But just as
business men have come to recognize that a
beautiful building pays because its tenants and
customers find it more pleasant to do business
there so churches have found that well design
I'd buildings not only attract more people to
church, but help to impress them with the dig
nifty and spiritual beauty of the services.
Twentieth century America has also gone
modern in the matter of church architecture,
to great extent. One of the best examples
is the Boston Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church at Tulsa, Okla, which filings 800
foot tower skyward from a broad base
The frame of the tower is steel, with top
of copper and glass. It is a free modern
adaptation of the Romanesque style, designed
by Adah M. Robinson, an art teacher who had
never studied architecture, and carried out by
a young architect who was one of her former
pupils, Bruce Golf. Another of her pupils,
Robert Garrison, did the sculpture designs,
magnificent symbols of angular modernistic de-
sign. No curves are employed, but the sweep
of lines is such as to imply the curves which
really do not exist.
Such inspirational symbols as succession of
huge hands, folded in prayer, that rise above
the line of the roof and surround the top
of the spire, carry the eye upward Heavenward.
Six groups decorate the main doorway, signify
ing the three functions of the church-wor-
ship, religious education and missions. Three
mounted preachers of early circuit-riding days
above the other entrance. Kneeling fig
ures, all moderniStic, flank the sculptured
groups The effect is inspirational, hopeful,
spiritual.
A MOTHER development of the modern
church is the skyscraper building which
houses secular as well as religious quarters.
One of the best examples of this is the Broad
tower is surmounted by beacon honoring
Admiral Byrd which takes the form of a radiant
cross, visible IS miles out to sea.
This building houses apartments, bowling
alleys, squash courts gymnasium and swimming
pool and various other enterprises. Similar
structures in Rochester, Pittsburgh, San Fran
cisco, Miami and Chicago house banks stores,
theaters.
The contentious for this type of church are
that the small church in the congeSted city
district is eclipsed and becomes insignificant
both in appearance and function; that the
church thus built on ground which would other
wise be barred from such use because of its
value, serves the people of its vicinity as it
could not elsewhere, and that by SO being self
supporting. it can extend and increase its
services.
What will be the ultimate outcome? What
will live and what will die? Will the modernis-
tic church replace the classic, or will those of
the next century tire of the new and revert to
the old? Time is the ultimate art critic.

Modern churches have utilized much that the
stage has learned about Lighting. The promiscu-
ous placing of lights for ornamentation has been
simplifed to obtain the proper effects and es-
tablish the correct atmosphere, with hood-hght-
ed altar or pulpit. The science Of acoustics has
been carefully studied and loud speakers and
microphones are concealed about the pulpit.
