Milk and Honey Stadium. the Promised Land (Kingston) N. Y. July 9.-(UP)-A capacity crowd of 5000 angels and saints perspired and fidgeted in the stands. God, wearing a white seersucker suit, ar- rived in a Buick convertible chariot, and formally opened the first an- nual Heavenly olympic games in a speech that was brief, if not to the point.
 Peace, it's wonderful" he bel- lowed.
 As his voice rolled down the val leys of the Promised Land, which used to be a country club, the angels and the saints rose from their seats and, Tapping their arms as If they were wings, cried and cried again:-
 Peace, it's wonderful! Peace, it's wonderful! Amt he sweet! Amt god cute! Man, ain't he sump'n! l! He's de almighty one for sure"
 The object of this idolatry was a chocolate colored man who signs his checks Major" or Father" Divine, who operates numerous heavens in New Yorks Harlem and in eastern cities, and who, with his ample sup plies of cash of mysterious origin, has bought much real estate in this vicinity as the Promised Land for the negroes and whites who accept him as diety and call him god.

ALL STAR TEAM. I Q BE VO TED
 FOR BY FANS
Managers Also May Be Those of Popular Choice;
 Medwick Star of Stars?
Rv GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, July 9--(UP) Firing resumed in the regular major league pennant races today after 8 three day recess for the playing of the fifth annual all-star game between both circuits.
 Echoes of the affair, which the American leaguers won handily for their fourth triumph, still were being heard as the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees resumed battling to protect their respective league leads.
 It seemed likely that next years selection of the all-star teams per- sonnel would go back to the fans, who previous to this year, had par ticipated in a nationwide election. Latest suggestion was to let the fans ballot on 16 members of each team, and leave seven selections to the all- star managers in order to plug up any weaknesses overlooked by the voters.
 There also was a possibility that naming of the managers might be left to the fans instead of the job automatically falling to the man. agers of the pennant winners.
 While the exploits of the New York Yankees in Wednesdays game were still being praised, many base ball writers, and at least one American league manager, ex- pressed the opinion that Joe (Ducky Wucky) Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals was the outstanding play CT on the field at Washington. Joe slammed out four consecutive hits two doubles and two singles--in five times at bat to set a record for all-star competition.
 Several cities were understood to be bidding for the 1888 all-star en- counter, but it was believed that Cincinnati had the inside track. Chicago, with two game lead in the National league, resumed play against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 Setting the pace in the American with 8 5 l-2 game lead over the Detroit Tigers, the Yankees are pit ted against the Washington Sena- tors, who have succumbed in four Of their seven contests with the the Tanks.

July 3, leO6, at Philadelphia kThis Is the best pitching perform
 ance for July 9th)
 cleveland experienced little trou- ble in defeating Philadelphia 6 to O., as Robert Dusty) Rhoades permit ted the White Elephants only two safe wallops, both singles and did not walk or hit a single batter.
 Coakley. pitching for Philadel- phia, was hit very hard. the Maps getting fourteen safeties oil him, in- cluding triples by Lajoie and Jack son, and he issued four bases on balls, so the wonder is that Cleve- land did not score oftener than they did. Only the fine defen1.ve work of Connie Mack's players prevented a much larger score.
 Hartsel and Lord got the only two sateties of Rhoades, and were the only American League Champions to reach base. A fast double play by Lajoie, Turner and RoSsman eliminated one of them, leaving only one Philadelphian left on base during the entire game.
 The work of Turner and Lajoie afield, likewise the throwing out of runners by Schreckengost on bunts and on attempted steals, were other features besides Rhoades' air. tight pitching.
 Bay and Flick, with three hits apiece, set teh pace for the Cleve- land batsmen.
 NOTE: On this date in 1927, Vic Aldridge, pitching for Pittsburgh, permitted Chicago only two singles also, but he gayet three passes, whereas Rhoades issued none, nor aid Rhoades allow any batters other than the two that singled to Eeach base.

| that l should come to this one.
 After fathers opening pronounce ment, a chief angel in the big kitchen struck match to the eternal flame. It burned brightly in stove beneath a mess of greens and pan of sliced potatoes. An other angel thumped drum and the games were on.
 The first event was the 100 yard dash for married male saints, and more than 400 of them went to the starting line. Father sat on the fin- ish line with a stop-watch. The start was about as orderly as the retreat from Moscow. Saints all but fought for place in the first line. Finally some semblance of order was gained and the starter cried, Peace, it's wonderful!"
 With his words the Saints-some one of whom were not too saintly to jump the gun-were of. The win- ner was long-legged saint who sported a sailors cap and wore a banner across his shoulder which read:
 T am what I am. No man can hinder me. Thank Father Divine for everything"
 God" without Q glance at his stop-watch, announced the winners time as "double-ten-t three"
 The 100-yard winner had hardly more than collaped on the grass to catch his breath when @ trumpet sounded, summoning the competi- tors in the five mile relay. This was an open affair, and the en- trants included married and single saints, male and female angels, young and old cherubs, fat and thin archangels.
 The competitors were spaced every 50 yards or so and instead of batons to pass, they were given full length pictures of father in a double breasted suit and a panama hat This race closely resembled a dress rehearsal for the end of the world With the starters shout, pande- monium swept like wild fire over the stadium. Saints tripped arch angels. Cherubs grabbed the coat tails of high heavenly officials.
 Finally big woman in a green dren worked her way from under the pile of bodies at the finish line and, holding her picture aloft shouted:
 "Redemption!"
 She was declared the winner anc father put down a slice of water. melon and announced the time:
 Three aeons, six centuries, sever and one half decades"
 The hammer throw was next.
 An angel, who gave his name a! Felicity Piety Joy" was the winner with a heave that landed in tht swimming pool and nearly brainec the winner of the 100-yard free style swim.
