Incident in Arkansas Figured in Sun
DAVIS Eyangelistic Career.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November 7
Pp.-Death Of Billy Sunday, the evan
gelist. in Chicago last night recalled
to Arkansas the preachers own story
of an averted train wreck that figured
in his desertion of the base ball dia-
mond for the pulpit.
Sunday told the story recently in a
letter to the magazine editor of the
Arkanss Gazette, Little Rock news
paper.
The incident happened on the old
Diamond joe Railroad, between NAL
vern and Hot Springs, Ark, during
the days when Sunday, member of
the Chicago White Sox, was wintering
at the Spa.
Sunday got on the train at Malvern.
During the night fire had burned
away supports to a bridge along the
route. Engineer J. H. Ryan said he
saw the fire when only 100 feet from
the bridge He threw open the throttle
and the train hurtled across the fire.
weakened structure just before 1t COL
lapsed.
The evangelist wrote that he climbed
into the cab and talked to Ryan, who
had stopped the train on the other
side of the bridge.
God" said the then ball player, "it
must be God still has some mission for
persons on this train to perform. It
is up to each one of us to fnd out
what that mission is"
Il cannot say" he wrote, that the
averted wreck influenced me directly
to enter the ministry. but it surely
made deep impression on me-"

LAST HERE IN FEBRUARY,
Sunday Was Still Looking Forward

Sunday Was Still Looking Forward
to Bout With Devil"
Billy Sunday was still looking for
ward to long bout with "the devil"
when he was last in the Capital In
February.
When will I retire?" he responded
then to question. "I'll retire when
the devil is beaten, and that won't be
In my lifetime. Why should a man
retire at 70? Maybe I'm not so fast
on my pins as 40 years ago, but I'm
just as healthy and almost as tough. {"
The Sundays at that time were the
guests of Supt. John S. Bennett of
Central Union Mission and Mrs. Ben
nett, old friends, in whose institution
they took a deep interest.
Just two years ago Sunday held q
series of city-wide revivals for the
mission. returning here after lengthy
absence.
During the World War he spent
eight weeks here, speaking to hun
dreds of thousands of persons in a
huge tabernacle erected opposite Union
Station on d street. The meetings
continued from the first week in jan
uary, 1918, until March. On the OPEN
ing day $4,000 persons gathered to
hear Sunday talk.

ner. but Poor Hitter.
NEW YORK, November (P.-As
a major league base ball player Billy
Sunday was noted as a speedy runner
once he got on base. but q weak
hitter, who had a hard time getting
to first often enough to make his
speed count.
AS a teammate in Chicago Of such
diamond immortals as Cap" Anson,
George Gore and Mike Kelly. his
lifetime batting average of .257 looked
especially small by comparison. ON
cial records, however. credit him with
258 stolen bases, 96 in one season.
The records for his first three years
with the Chicago White Stockings.
1883, 1884 and 1885, did not include
stolen bases.
In Sundays last major league sea-
son. 1890, when he played for Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia, he stole 96
bases in 1l6 games and compiled one
Of the best batting records Of his
career, . .265 average. His highest
mark was .359 for AZ games in 1887.
John K. Tener. Chicago team
mate, who became president of the
National League and Governor Of
Pennsylvania, once said Of Sunday:
He was q good ball player, but never
q great one. He never played regularly
on the old Chicago White Stockings
because he couldn't hit consistently
when he played every day, but he was
q mighty useful fellow to have sitting
on the bench and always dangerous
on the bases"
One Of Sundays greatest feats came
when Tener was pitching for Chicago
and Sunday batting for Pittsburgh.

EASIER MONEY
NOW AFFECTING
BUSINESS TREND
Advance in Stock Market
Held Adjustment of Yields
0btainabIe.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK. Aug 2.-The belief
that easy money is at last beginning
to have an effect uopn the business
situation is becoming much more
general, the National Bank of New
York declares today in its August
bank letter.
1t is influenced. the bank says, not
only by the larger volume of bond
issues already sold and in prospect.
but by the continued strength Of
the stock market: for the advance
in the latter evidently is in part an
adjustment of the yields on stocks
to conform with reduced yields on
other investments.
Held Good Tendency
This is a tendency" the review
continues, (which if other condi-
lions are favorable will facilitate
raising new capital and thus slim
ulate capital expenditures. But it is
important to remember that the
initiative is outside the money
markets.
Easy money will have little
effect, beyond reducing yields on
prime securities, unless there is
confidence in the economic and po-
litical situation, opportunity for
profit and new enterprise. and ball
anced relations between all the ele-
mentS entering in the exchange Of
goods so that trade can go on.
Basic Gain In Trade
TOO much emphasis upon the
money factor is misplaced. The
basic improvement this year has
been in trade conditions and it is
due to expanded trade that money
is being spent more freely on new
equipment. and invested in securi-
ties in which confidence has been
heretofore lacking.
ITO be sure higher security prices.
also the improvement in land VAL
uses reported from the farm states,
are encouraging in themselves. They
relieve pressure on people, make
them feel richer" and may add, to
purchasing power in the markets.
Improved corporate earnings also
add to buying power, and lead to
increased purchases of industrial
goods"
