Two Upstairs
Will Pitch
Sunday
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Times Sports Editor
In all likelihood the
road from Richmond
will be pretty well
cluttered come Sun
day and the Bucky
Jacobs B o b Feller
pitching duel at the
ball park.
There is probably no event
in the life of any city, big or
little, so momentous to the cit
henry thereof as that which
finds one of its home town lads
getting a trial in the strato-
sphere of baseball.
This reaction is the same our
nation over, from Main Street to
Broadway, and the fact forms a
striking commentary.
A cross-Sectiou of home town
pride, taken any way you please,
will find more enthusiasm over a
favored son getting his big chance
in baseball than any other glory
which may come to the highways
or hywayS of existence.

Drama Editor Andy Kelley
might take issue with me on this
statement. He would probably
hold that a budding career in
Hollywood would outpanic any 10
cahty beyond a crack at the pig
leagues, but I'd give him a debate
maybe in the town hall and
charge admission.
For Bucky Jacobs, you see, is a
product of Richmond University,
getting his diploma last June and
thereby being eligible to take
money for playing baseball.
At dear old Richmond u,
Jacobs had a meteoric pitching
career, numbering 20 teams among
his victims, out Of the 81 games
in which he worked.
Eighteen of these victories were
established in succession and
three of them came by means Of
ShutoutS.

To FaCeIn
Battle
BY FRANK BUCK" oNEML

ANA4AAAA4
The battle Of freshmen scheds
uled for Sunday afternoon when
the alumni Of University Of Rich
mond, real and synthetic, march
to Griffith Stadium to see Bucky
Jacobs battle Bob Teller offers
some interesting angles. Teller is
the most advertised rookie In all
the history Of baseball. Almost be.
fore he could name the cities In
both major leagues he was hailed
as a super" Mathewson, .
greater" Bender, and so on down
the line.
He signed testimonials for this
and that, and it is said that he
ate some Of the food; drank some
Of the fluids, and wore some Of the
articles Of clothing; etc., that he
indorsed-at a premium. What
happened to the Iowa prodigy is
history. His arm troubled him,
and the victories he was supposed
to win evaded him. This last de-
velopment embarrassed Bob no
little, the Cleveland Indians still
more. The producers Of the prod.
ucts he Endorsed suffered most Of
all.
They began to wonder If Bob
were more Of liability than an
asset.
Jacobs Debut Differs
The debut of Jacobs was entirely
different. He signed no testi.
monialS. In fact, one day when he
went to the bull pen to warm up,
some fans asked, who's that
guy?"
Few knew, and even fewer cared.
But wouldn't it be something Of q
dramatic triumph If the Nameless
Knight were to overthrow the
most famous rookie in the world?
Teller faced the Griffs in June
and pitched two innings. That
was all he was supposed to 60.
The Griffs hit him rather freely
and scored several runs, most OF
them unearned. Teller pitched q
great game against the Tigers not
long ago, allowing two hits, but
lost because he gave . couple Of
bases on balls. WildneSs has been
Feller'S chief fault this year, but
just the same he remains one. of
the bright prospects Of baseball.
DOubly Bitter
The defeat Of the GriffS yes.
terday was doubly bitter. Il
snapped a winning streak Of six
games, but that was the least Of it.
Thornton Lee did the pitching for
Chicago, and his performance
sent President Clark Griffith home
talking to himself.
You see, Lee was the boot in
the famous "Whitehill for Moth.
ing" trade that aStoniShed the
citizenry last spring. Whitehill
went to Cleveland for Lee, and
Griff sent the Southpaw on to Chi.
cago for Salveson, who had been
q winner in Los Angeles. After
establishing himself as the bust
Of the century, Salveson went
back to the Pacific Coast on
waivers, via the Cubs. --
Lee pitched five-hit shut-out.
In the last six innings the GriffS
made one hit and Lee passed two
men. In the fourth inning Stone
singled and went to second on
an infield out by Kuhel. Not an
other Washington man reached
the midway. Yves Terrell walked
in the fifth but was forced by
Travis for the final out Of the
frame. In the sixth Kuhel walked
with two out and Myer ended the
inning with q grounder to Appling.
The Griffs had q chance to
score In the second. Simmons
opened with a savage smash to left
which Radcliff caught. After
Stone was out Kuhel and Myer
singled, but Rick Terrell forced
Myer at second. That was Q bit
tough on Rick, for had Myer not
been on first, the ball was good
for a hit.

II. A Right Relationship to Man
(vv. 12-17.
To be right with God means that
we will also be right with our fell
low man. Conversely, the man who
is manifestly wrong in his relation
to his fellow man is either not right
with God at all, or he is not living
out his Christian life in practice.
l. Family life ". 12). The fifth
commandment has to do with the
relation between child and parent.
There is plain and direct COM
mand that father and mother should
be honored. Only in respect and
obedience to parents can the child
possibly find true and proper de-
velopment
2. Physical life wv. IS, 40. God
is interested in our bodies. Already
we have noted his provision for a
day of rest each week. Now we
are reminded of the sanctity of hui
man life. Thou shalt not KILL" and
remember there are many other
ways to kill man than by shoot
ing him. DR.. Wilbur M. Smith
makes a telling point by reminding
us that we may kill others by sell
ing them tainted food. intoxicat-
ing liquors, or dope" by neglect
of duty, by careless driving, by
failing to provide employees with
sanitary and healthful surroundings.
A solemnizing thought thou shalt
not kill"
There is another way that the
body may be destroyed-by it's mis-
use in adulterous living.
3. Social life wv. 15-1D. Thou
shalt not stear'-and remember
any dishonest appropriation of what
does not belong to you is stealing
call it what you will. And false
witness"-how it has honey combed
our very civilization. Not a little
Of it is found within the church,
more shame upon us! Lastly, we
come to "coVetouSneSS'- has
been called one of 1.-The respectable
sins of nice people" It is subtle and
often hidden. Let us root it out Of
OUR own lives by Gods grace.

LAST NOTES ON P. w. CAMP

Some IT'S boys and girls have
taken their examination for the
Phyllis Wheatley annual camp.
However, some of the children
who signed up for camp did not
make their appearance for the
health examination. This is a lit
tie unfair because there are many
boys and girls who want to sign
up for the camp but cannot do so
due to the fact that the quota is
filled. If parents have found it
impossible to send their children
after signing them up, it would
help a great deal if they would
notify Phyllis Wheatley immedi.
ately.
The children will leave from the
Settlement House at 800 Aldrici
No. at 8 A. NJ, Monday, Angus
16, and will return about IL A. M.
Monday, August %.
Parents are again asked to CO
operate by not including sweets
etc., among the clothing. Eacl
bag should be tagged with thu
child's name. No visitors will b.
allowed except on Friday after
P. M. A program will be ar
ranged for that evening.

JUNIOR TOPIC-Before the Mount of
God.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC-Why Nation Needs Laws.
TOPIC-Basic Laws for a Nations Life.
Basic laws have been laid down
by God for the orderly administra-
ton of his universe Men see them
clearly in the physical universe, al
though at times they do not recog-
nize the One who created all things.
Physical laws are of great i'm
portance, but of even deeper signi-
fcance are the moral and spiritual
laws which control the human life.
There is in the world a moral law
a distinction between right a n d
wrong-which man may ignore only
to his own sorrow, and which he
cannot abrogate or destroy. All laws
of men which are true and right are
founded on this underlying moral
law, and are in reality simply
development and Interpretation of
Gods Code of Morals"-the Ten
Commandments.
These commandments given to
Israel at Mt. Sinai are worthy of
careful study on the part Of every
reader. They may be grouped
under two divisions.
1. A True View of God (vv. LID.
The first and most important
question to be asked regarding any
law is, by whom was it estab-
ished?" Legislation by an I'M
authorized person or organization
has no power over others. Who gave
the ten commandments? Verse l
tells us God spake all these
words"
Men sheer at theology as being
out NODDED, but the fact is that
Christian doctrine is the only safe
foundation for Christian character.
Unless my view of God is right, my
life will be wrong. Until know him
I will not appreciate the authority
of his law.
/. Whom to worship wv. 2-5).
There can be but one true God, and
he alone is to be worshiped. He is
a personal being, ready to enter
into communion with each one Of
us. No image or likeness can take
his place. Bowling down before idols,
no matter what they may be called,
is expressly forbidden by God.
2. How to worship wv. 6, y. We
are to love him and keep his COM
mandments. There is to be no sham
about this, for no matter how sweet
and pious may be the praise and
prayer of a man, he has taken the
Lords name in vain unless he keeps
the Lords commandments by holy
living.
3. When to worship (vv. BID.

not necessarily bear the burden OF
toll He is to have day OF rest
and a time for worhip, undisturbed

statement from Miss Smith:
JOrdan's Police Record Unknown
"When l was retained on this
case, was told of the beating anC
arrest. l was further told that
Jordan was a married man with q
family and that he was waiter
at the Curtis hotel and that he had
no previous record of conviction.
later learned that l had been mis-
informed as to all of these facts
l also prepared affidavits which
were signed by several eye witness
es and Jordan himself.
'At the time l drew the affidavit
for Jordan to sign, l asked him If
he had ever been convicted of any
crime and he told me he had not,
with the exception of being picked
up in raid some few years ago.
ION August 4th, when / went to
Court prepared to defend Jordan
and also to prepare a record OF the
history of the case to present to
the Civil Service Commission, l
was informed that there were two
commitments out for Jordan and
that he would be picked up imme-
dIately and sent to the workhouse
for four or five months.
81 confronted Jordan with these
commitments and he then told me
that he had been convicted for mis-
use of funds and given a 90-day
sentence and later a 6O-day SEN
tence and at both times he had
been given a foater.
81 then realized that I was up
against a bad situation. l asked
Jordan if he was willing to take
chance on being picked up and sent
to the workhouse and he said no.
So 1 was forced to appear without
Jordan being present and the case
was dismissed.
Jordan Agrees to Settlement
Jordan further informed me
that he was not working and did
not have any money to pay his
room rent and that he was going
to leave town. I informed him of
his civil rights and told him that
he had a right to sue the officers
for damages, and after talking
with the officers we agreed on
settlement, which was consummat-
ed in my office with all parties con-
cerned present.
Officers to Be Moved
1.-TWO days later I made an ap-
pearance before Captain James
Mullen and related to him all the
facts and circumstances of the case
and also presented the affidavits
which I had in my possession. The
matter was later taken up with
Chief Forestal who agreed to re-
move the officers. 1 have definite
assurance that the officers will be
removed on the 18th of this
