tons major sandlot league
According to sandlot observers 1t is
doubtful II the Government League at
tendance, which averaged around $500
spectators per game last year, has
fallen of at all.
DRESIDENT BILL. FLESTER of the
Industrial League is inclined TO be-
lieVe that while the Government is
having its innings now with the fans,
the latter gentry shortly will begin to
move around to his loop, which he
modestly admits lis the best in the
city"
HEINIE WEBB, who has been in the
L Government League since its in
fancy, thinks the Brooklyn Robin
ish" regulations CT the teams in this loop
will hold the fans. "Sandlot fans don't
come to see perfect base ball. We all
make errors and bone-head plays, but
NEST Of the Government Leaguers are
older than the rest Of the weekday
players and when We make errors fans
get big kick out of them-that Is, If
they don't mean the ball game"
Outfelders in the weekday leagues
are sprouting gray hair worrying over
how close they are to the hockey nets,
which haven't been removed from the
EllipSe, when they are chasing ny balls.
Many bingle made in the four loops
would have been an out but for these
nets according to the boys.
NOW that there is no Terminal
" Field to play the city series on
this season, the Ellipse looms as
the logical battle-ground for the sand
lot classic.
Should the title series be held there
it would mark the first time 1t was
played entirely on the Ellipse. Several
wears ago part Of the series was played
beneath the shadow of the Monument
and part in Terminal Park
1t has been suggested that the games,
which will involve all four circuits hold
ing forth on the Ellipse, be rotated on
each of the quartet Of diamonds, so
that each league champion would nave
chance TO play on its home nelo'
MANY a G. p. o. fan has gone to
AV1 the Ellipse to see a Government
Tor DEPARTMENTAL League game
and wandered to the wrong f1eld, lured
by the brown uniforms that have been
worn by the G. P. o.. players OF both
loops.
This season. however, il the fans
don't know which diamond is which.
the G.. p. o. team In the Departmental
League is wearing the brown unies.

ITS easy to throw off a cold when you know what to do- and do it. Two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin will break up a cold in a jiffy! Take them promptly. Bayer Aspirin will check your cold at any stage, but why wait until you are miserable? These tablets are perfectly harmless because they don't depress the heart. If your throat feels sore, crush three more tablets in a little water

Rev Mir COe at
 Church Forum
Spoke on Some Aspects of
 the Twentieth Century

Some Aspects of the Twentieth Century, was the address given by Rev Albert Buckner Coe at the Sec ond Congregational church forum last evening. Rev MT Coe. former pastor of the Second church, was installed pastor of the First Congre- gational church at Oak Park, H., last Thursday evening. He made a hurried trip to this city and left this morning for Brockton, Mass. where he will attend the ordination of his youngest brother. M. Walker Coe, at the South Congregational church.
 He recited the numerous changes which have taken place in the past few years. The element of fear has gone out of religion. he stated, which makes 1t difficult for conven- tional and organized religion.
 A new interest in the individual and new emphasis placed upon the individual have cropped out too, he said. He answered a number of questions in the period following his talk.

 Hoover's National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement for a national study of law adminis- tration in the federal courts of the
 United States. The study will be made through twelve university law schools of the country. each con- ducting a unit of research in its own locality. The work will be supervised by committee on federal courts ap- pointed by the commission, which consists of Dean Charles E. Clark,
 Yale Law School, chairman; Dean Thurman w. Arnold, University of
 West Virginia Law School; Dean
 Henry M. Bates, University of Mich igan Law School; President Robert
 M. Hutchins, University of Chicago;
 Professor Harold R. Medina, Colum-

President Hutchins, then Dean of the Yale Law School, and Dean Clark presented to Presi- dent Hoover an outline for a plan somewhat the lines of q project then for such study. the plan following under way for study of the state courts of Connecticut, and proposed for Ohio, and West Virginia. At the request of the national commission O oh nd of which George w. Wickersham is chairman. the plan was presented to the commission.
 In the spring of 1880, at the re- quest of the commission, a prelim- mary study was made by the com mittee in Connecticut, West Virginia Ohio and Louisiana. The purpose was to prepare for a comprehensive study beginning in the fall of 1880. During that period, the technique for carry ing forward the study was worked out. Hundreds of criminals and civil cases were sampled and analysed. In the light of that experience, final preparations for a wider study were made.
 The project, which has been au- thorized to begin as of October l, 1930, and to end June 30, 1881, is aimed at study of law administra- tion in the feedral courts through a scientific analyses of case records, both civil and criminal, in those courts. The general purpose of the study is to test the frequency of the of justice in the fed eral courts. Concrete factual, statis- tical information is being sought to illustrate and test the efficiency of rules, procedure, and general meth- r,f 1 1YyNfv ,ix,fn involves the collection of actual fig ures bearing on conjestion and the types of business entering and be- Ing disposed of in the federal courts

THE ALL NATION
 FOOTBALL TEAM''
Some Interesting Matters Brought to Light Before
 Younger Boys
FOOTBALL IN BEIRUT

Brownie" young boys. secretar, was the leader of the younger boy. Sunday meeting yesterday afternoon Ills topic was Play or Coop cration.
 The first illustration used was that of the dog sleds used for transpor- tation in the polar regions. Not one dog alone could pull the sled but all the dogs together doing their bit could pull the sled quite easily He also spoke of the team play of Coach Rockne's, Notre Dame 1 football team in which each man does his part to the best ability with the result. winning team of all working as a unit
 He then told the story "The All Nation Football Team by Basil Mathews, which is as follows:
 Standing on the touchline of the football field of the American uni versity at Beirut, I saw streaming down from the pavilion a team such as I had never imagined in my wild est athletic dreams.
 The captain was an Abyssinian, thick set. but fast and accurate shot. His fullbacks were Turk and an Aremenian; the halfbacks and tine forward included Syrian Christian from Lebanon, Greek, other Turks, a Persian and Copt from Egypt. : Their trainer was an Irishman.
 As I stood watching the members of the team take their places and ] the opposing team move out to face them, and then heard the whistle blow and saw the game surge down and up the field, could see that they were playing a really magnifi- cent team game. Talking with the ~tNs., lac ypo was standing by me, I asked, What special difficulty do you find in train ] ing team like this?'
 "A real hard nut to crack is just this." he replied. "These fellows come from countries where the whole idea of team-play is unknown. Each at the beginning of his football training wants to dribble the ball down the field at his own feet and score the goal himself for his own glory. It is just the same" he !n- terjected, eff you are teaching them baseball or cricket or hockey. So," he went on. "I have won the battle, not only for the boys as member of the team. but really for his whole life-job, when have taught him to pass..'
 I looked again and realized the simple miracle that had been per formed. There was the Armenian fullback passing to the Turk, who sent the ball out to a forward wing. the Greek. and he to the Persian who centered to the African cap- tain, who, amid a roar of cheering, scored a brilliant goal.
 The problem of the world racial conflict is precisely the same as the problem of the sports-captain at Beirut. There are the nations on that vast world fleld-each trying to dribble the ball of achievement down the field of history to score the goal of racial ornational glory for itself. There is no team play on q world scale. The need of the human race is for world interna- tional team.
 We need in the affairs of man some real and powerful force that will fuse the separate national and racial spirits into unity. We need a King Arthur idea and ideals to gather the warning knights into n Round Table of world chivalry to cooperate in defending the distressed and the weak and in fighting for world peace.
