One On Henry Johnson

George Pipgras was pitching
against the AS one day last
summer, it seems, and Henry
johnson in the role of relief
pitcher, was lolling in the bull
pen enjoying a hot dog.
Suddenly base hits began
popping off the fences, and be-
fore you could say Jack Robin
son" George had been pounded
out of the box. Benny Begough
beckoned to Henry.
Go in there, boy, and stop
'em," he said, giving the pitcher
pat on the back.
Henry laid down his hot dog
and started in. Then paused.
who's up?" he asked.
"COchrane, Simmons and
FOxx," BegOugh replied.
"COchrane, Simmons and
FOxx," Henry cOgitated. "Say,
don't anybody touch that hot
dog. I'll be right back"

Johnny, always an umpire
batter, had been scrapping with
Bob Emslie all afternoon. Final
ly in a hectic seventh-inning
rally Johnny made frantic slide
for second and was waved out
by Emslie.
"Hey," Johnny protested.
"He missed me. L amt out, 1
tell you. 1 amt out"
Bob turned his back and
started to walk away.
Then, over his shoulder he
turned one loose that stopped
Johnny cold.
"WeII, I don't know, Johnny"
he said, I'm just an umpire
myself, but tell you what to do.
Look in the paper tomorrow and
see what the box score says
about it,"

Richard, the red haired, who
shows against Billy BartuSh at
the Washington Auditorium to-
night, gave James quite a grapple
before relinquishing his laurels
in a Philadelphia match.
True it is that Jim McMlllen,
former University of Illinois foot
baller, has since smeared the red
head and only last night Hans
Steinke, the so-called German
oak, rassled him to draw.
But, the fact remains, Shikat
gave Londos a crack at his crown.
And turn about-so the boys
tell us-is fair play.
Rassle Crown Valuable
A crown during the present ma
tional rassle boom is worth a
pretty penny.

HEAVY SALE
FOR SHOW
TONIGHT

The biggest advance sale since
he has been promoting big-time
wrestling matches at the Wash
ington Auditorium.
That's what Promoter Joe Tur
ner says about his show for to-
night at the Auditorium, and the
largest crowd in the history OF
local wrestling is anticipated.
"Why, when / had SOnnen-
berg here two years ago, the
advance sale never came near
what it has been for tOnight's
show" says Promoter Turner.
"And don't forget that have
had Jimmy LOndOs several
times at the Auditorium, and
not even his coming brought
out the great advance sale as
for tOnight'S matches at the
Auditorium.
'My only answer is that
Washington has gone wrestling
mad. Some of the biggest people
= in this city can be seen at the
Auditorium for my shows. Doc
tors, politicians, lawyers, busi-
ness men, gamblers, ETC., all
mix with one another. And
I'm giving 'em the best heavy
weights in wrestling today"
All the ringside and box seats
were completely sold out two days
ago, indicating that a record
crowd will be on hand tonight
Turner could easily have dis
posed of at least 300 more ring
side seats. Indeed, one regular
patron asked for Is of these
special seats but was told there
wasn't any to be had.
johnson Buys Tickets
Walter Johnson, manager of the
Washington Baseball Club, is one
of the latest to go over to wr2St,
ling. He has reserved six box
seats for tonight's matches.
Headlining tonight's affair will
be Dick Shikat, former heavy.
weight champion, and Billy Bar
tuSh, the Lithuanian with the steel
heart. Bartush will be pitted
against one of the best grapplers
in the profession, but local fans
have faith in the youngster who
has won his way into their hearts
by his fancy work. Bartush need
only beat Shikat tonight to earn
a return match with Londos.
DIR. Ralph Wilson, another
ranking choice of local wrest-
ling bugs, will go into action
against Nick Nester, of Balti-
more. Nick works best when
the other fellow gets rough and
doc" sometimes fOrgetS the
dignity of the medical prOfes-
sion.
Besides, there's Chief White
Feather, who tackles Mike Ro,
mano, the gentleman" wrestler
from Chicago. The Indian has a
few friends here, but several
months ago he was lonesome
fellow at the Auditorium. Milo
Steinborn and George Hagen will
open the program at $50 o'clock
Promoter Turner will have 500
war veterans from Naval Hospital
and Walter Reed Hospital veterans
as his guests tonight.

Zion Church Secedes
From Conference

NEW BERN, N. C.-St. Peters
A. NJ. +. Zion Church. known as the
Mother Church of Zion Methodism
i'm the South. severed its connection
from the parent body at a church
meeting held Monday. due to its
failure to help finance the local
church in a rebuilding program.
In November, 1922, while the
North Carolina Conference was in
session at st. Peters Church. the
church edifice was destroyed by the
conflagration which swept the city
of New Bern, and wiped out the
residential and business section.
compelling the conference to re-
move to Washington. N. C.. to fin
ish its session.
Immediately plans We're made for
the rebuilding of the church. under
the leadership of the pastor. the
Rev. X. T. Thompson. but so dire
were the circumstances of the mem
bers. practically all of whom lost
their homes in the fire. that very
little was done.
$4,000 Voted
At the last general conference of
the A. NJ. +. Zion Church. held at
/ OF. iIpuiSs Mo+4 IL u Sdli AiiaA PtsbVN
was voted to be given St Peters in
yearly installments of $4,000 each,
to help in the building program. 1t is
also said that not one cent of this
money has been received by the
| church.
$2.10 Rally
At meeting of the board of
bishops. held in Wilmington, N. c.,
during the early part of this year, IT
is said that it was voted by the
bishops to have a connection-wide
rally on the fifth Sunday in May, at
which time a special offering was
to be taken for the benefit of st.
Peters Church. The total amount
from this effort is said to have been
only $40.
Notice of Assessment
Recently a communication is said
to have been received from the pre-
siding bishop, j. w. Wood, asking
that all money, to be raised for the
general church and for the support
of the general conference to be held
at Pittsburgh, Pa, in 1882, be sent
in at the district conference and if
the local church is unable to raise
the money that it must be borrowed
from some source.
Vote to Secede
When this was put before the
membership of the church, it was
voted to disconnect the church from
the general church, with only two dis
senting votes. They, however. voted
that they would consider coming back
into the fold if the general church
would aid them in their building pro-
gram as it had promised.
Price Church
St Peters is the oldest Zion Meth
odist Church in the South. From this
church came the late Dir. Joseph c.
Price the founder of Livingstone Col
lege and hundreds of prominent lay
men and general officers, have at
some time been connected with the
church. The present church. member
ship represented the culture and re-
finement of the community. st. Pet
ers has long been the leading church
of the North Carolina conference.

In the World And Of 1t

In one of his last prayers for His
Jesus said. Il pray not
that they be taken from the world,
but that thou shouldest keep them
from the evil"
There are always people of in
tense religious desire. who believe
that they can get nearer to God by
getting away from the world. Such
men form brotherhoods. devoted to
a monastie life. or even go to the
length of abandoning all human
and living alone and
in silence.
If we are to attain to full
spiritual development. We must be,
in a true sense. separated from the
world; but no man can fulfill the
demand of religion that he serve
his fellow men. unless he shall live
with them If you are worldly. you
lose touch with the spiritual part of
life; If you are "unworldly, you
lose touch with your fellow man.
Therefore. one must take his place
in the common business of life. but
he must not permit himself to be
absorbed by it, lie must be in the
world, bnt not of it.
If we are TO lead other men and
women to higher ways of living, we
must keep our independence of the
crowd. yet we must be with the
crowd. We must know what men
are thinking. what they need, the
temptations they endure and the
afflictions they suffer. We cannot
bear one another's burdens unless
we know what those burdens are
We cannot pray for the good of onI
neighbor unless we have some
knowledge of our neighbours need
Unless we share the common ex-
perience, we cannot serve the com
mon welfare.
1t is the peculiar gift of the trul,
religious man that he can travel IL
the dusty ways of life and yet keer
himself unspotted from the world
He can touch pitch and not be de
filed. He can be the friend of al
men and the friend of God.
