TENNIS BALLS
 ARE RATI0NED
 IN JAPAN NOW

TOKYO, April l1-Tennis balls are almost as scarce as ostrich eggs in Japan today, and Japanese play CTS are gloomy about the future
 This is another result of the China war, for which Japan is frantically cutting all unnecessary consumption. Even the $ m l amount of rubber used in tennis ball has become an item in the econ- omy campaign.
 There are about TOO tennis clubs in Japan, and the government al- lotment of balls, hereafter, will be 778 dozen per month-about one dozen per club. What the thousands of players not affiliated with clut will do is not known.
 Tamio Abe, captain of the Davis cup team, said he doubted that even the national championships could be held this year, because the equip ment is lacking.

Grover Cleveland Alex. ander Working af Flea
 Circus in New York

NEW YORK, April 11.-Fifteen years ago Grover Cleveland Alex ander was one of the greatest pitch CTS in the major leagues. A year ago he was elected to baseballs Hall of Fame. And a few days ago he was just another attraction at a tawdry flea circus on And street.
 Baseball has been good to Alex ander but the great right -hander was always one to enjoy life as it rolled by. Now he has few worldly goods to show for his profitable years as big leaguer
 For nearly 20 years he was a Ma tional League star with Philadel- phia, Chicago, St Louis and Phila- delphia again. He broke in back in 1911 and beat Christy Mathewson in his debut In three seasons, 1915- IT, he won 30 or more games. Only Matty of this century's hurlers set a similar mark. Alex never pitched a no-hit game but in 1915 four of his victories were Unit games. This is an all-time major league record.
 Alex was a star from the outset. He won 28 games in his freshman year
 Some of Alexander's other records include: Most National League games pitched t696) and won C373) ; A major-league mark, shared with Walter Johnson, of lea ding his league in number of complete games pitched for six years; A National League earned-run mark of l22 for pitchers working in 250 innings or more; 90 shutouts, a lifetime league record, and Is whitewashings in one season for a major-league mark.
 Alex the Great pitched in three World Series but is best remem- bered for his heroic relief role in 1926, when he emerged from the bullpen in the rain at Yankee stad- ium to save the seventh and final game for the St. Louis Cardinals. Legend persists that "Old Pete" who had pitched and won the sixth game to tie the count at 3-all was dozing when summoned unexpectedly in the seventh inning to face Tony Lazzeri, with two out, the bases loaded and the Cards fighting to hold 3-2 lead
 Alex struck out Lazzeri on three pitched balls.
 The balance of the game was an anti-climax as Alexander finished the job in business like fashion.
 His major-league string finally ran out after his 1880 season with the Phillies. He pitched in the min ors for year or so. transformed with the House of David club and during the last two summers he had semi-pro team in Illinois.
 Alex is 52 now He doesn't know what the future holds for him but he smiles and says he's not worried

journey, and fourteen hundred
miles had been covered. Paul had
definitely assumed his role as mis-
sionary to the Gentiles, having
hankly declared to the Jews in
PiSidian Antioch that it was ne
ccssaIy to speak the word to them
but since they rejected it. 10, we
turn to the GentileS" The fact
that Chri stian missionaries
brought the Christian religion to
our European ancestors and that
our nation is today Christian can
be traced directly back TO the be-
ginning of this missionary enter
prise in the ancient Syrian city
of Antioch. To Paul, more than
any other man, the spread of the
new faith was due.
There are pagan faiths yet
alive today, but as Robert E
Speer points out: 'Mohamme-
danism is spreading in Africa and
India, but it makes no effort of
any significance to convert
America or Europe or Japan. The
bounds of COnfucianism are con-
tracing. ShintOism has with
drawn from the lists as religion,
and claims now only the place of
court ceremonial and a burial
rite ZOroastrianism, one of the
worthieSt of the ancient religions,
has almost vanished in the land
of its origin, and numbers COM
parativelv few adherentS in India.
Hinduism is geographically limit
ed, save as philosophy, by its
principle of caste, and Buddhism
is rejected in Japan by the very
men who might succeed in pro-
Fagating it elsewhere.
On the other hand, Speer de-
clares: Christianity is moving
out all over the earth with stead
lily increasing power, with ever
multiplying agencies, with ever
charging devotion, and with
open and interchangeable pur-
cose to conquer the world.

Last week we saw how they
left Antioch of Pisidia as a result
of the hostility fostered by the
Jews The missionaries proceed
ed to IcOnium, where the gospel
message was first given in the
local synagogue and both Jews
and Greeks accepted. After a
long stay, the opposition became
more violent, whereupon the par
ty moved on to Eystra.
At Lystra, where there seems
TO have been no synagogue, Paul
was attracted by a lifetime Grip
pie in the audience before him.
This mans spirit had been touch
ed and his strong faith became
apparent to Paul, who, in a loud
voice, called upon him to walk.
The miracle was the result of two
strong souls meeting-one with
faith and the other with vision
to recognize the other. Naturally,
the miracle created considerable
comment.
The natives of Lystra had been
brought up in the superstitious
semi-religion of their day and To-
cality. Their worship was direct
cd towards placating varied host
of deitieS. familiar to most of us
who have read the NEUROLOGICAL
stories of the ancientS. One of
these relate how Jupiter (ZeuS)
and Mercury (Hermes) in the
guiSe of mOrtals visited this very
section. Consequently, confronted
by the miraculous cure of the
cripple, the pagan crowd prompt
ly assured a repetition of the
story, seeing in Barnabas and
Paul the, divine pair who had
fooled many of their ancestors.
The inhabitants of Lystra. led
by the priest of Jupiter, promptly
attempted to render to the sup
EoSed gods the customary ritual
iStic worship. Oxen and garlands
were brought up for the proper
sacrifices to the deitieS. Sacrifice
was not a strange rite to Jews,
either, be 1T remembered, but Paul
and BarnabaS were Mortified at
the prospect of their assumption
of divine honors. They quickly
explained their mortal kinship
with those who would defy them
and used the occasion to preach
about Jesus.
Shortly afterward, there came
to LyStra the unbelieving Jews
from the cities previously visited,
and their bigotry and INTOLERANCE
soon famed their victims into
crusading zeal The mob which
wanted to worship the mission
aires as gods were soon turned to
critics and foes, and attacked the
missionary apostles Paul seems
to have received the most severe
punishment, for he was stoned
and left upon the earth as dead.
However, he revived, but the.
next day the missionary party
went TO Derbe.
The stay at Derbe was without
outstanding events apparently,
and after a ministry there Paul
resisted the temptation to visit
the home folks at nearby Tarsus
so that he and BarnabaS might
return to Antioch by the various
continental cities already visited.
This they did, building up and
cementing the new body of be-
levers. Both to the home church
IN Antioch tof Syria) Paul and
BarnabaS returned and their
splendid report of the Gospel be-
ing preached to the Gentiles was
made.
A years time had been occu-
