NEW YORK, April 24.-Get on
an 9Th avenue subway express,
ride ND to 125th street. Change
to a local, and ride past 135th,
past 145th and on It'll you come to
I155th street. Get off, and walk
through the big iron gate, on along
"a cement ramp, and up a broad
flight of steps,. j.. There's a sign
that says Polo Grounds. There's
Il, SIGN that says Baseball Today.
There's a boy who yells Baseball
Nevs-Tells all about the players.
OFT, Dizzy, Pearson, Hubbell.
Getcher News Now" There's
a boy who yells Papers, papers,
set the latest papers. Get the
Ihne-ups for today's game"
There's a big cop, and a hundred
other cops, with grins on their
Irish pans, grinning because they
can't help it. Because they're glad
Commissioner Valentine detailed
them on ltlll duly tOuoS'
You walk past the high, green
portals of the Polo Grounds with
its iron turnstiles; and dirty kids
duck out of the line yelling, "Got
an extra pass, got an extra tick
et?" You walk in the shadows
under the grandstand, toward the
door marked "Press Gate" E.
You see a man at the gate who
takes your ticket and reads the
number of that ticket out loud. . +.
He wells "Press 124." And
someone echoes press 1874" and
the turnstiles click, and you are
passed through.
Walk up the big, wide ramp of
cement that is a hundred yards
long. You hear a sharp s~taccato
of balls meeting bats, You hear
the clamor of the butchers, "Hot
coffee, hot coffee" Hot dogs,
hot dogs with mustard" You
hear a voice boom, Score cards,
FrCents." You hear a voice
shrill, "Peanuts, Peanuts"
Don't stop at the top of the
ramp. The lower tier is no place
to watch a baseball game. Go
on up to the upper tier, and out
into the sunshine take up a
spot behind first base where
the jockies sit and where you can
watch all the close plays four
fifths of any baseball game is
played at first base.
The Polo Grounds in New York
is like a giant open horseshoe,
with banners streaming, and with
strange new steel concentrations of
light all around the upper tiers. -.
These are for night baseball, which
never before has been played by
the Giants. ...
At the open end of the horse
shoe are the blcachers Grad
uating on each side are the grand
stand sections The players in
their monkey suits are pumping a
few balls into the empty sections.
l.. 1t is batting practice. An
other group is deep in the field,
shagging flies that a fat guy nam
ed Brown is lifting out there with
a fungo stick.

Big long-range cameras begin to
protrude from the press box, look
ing like guns in a beleagured fort
ress. Pigeons shoot out of a
hole in the press box, carrying
negatives to a newspaper office up
town. They climb and circle,
and circle some more, and light
out in a straight line. . You see
three men in black suits u cut
land stand at home plate and talk
with a player from each team.
Then one Of the men walks over to
first base. and another to third. :.
There is 4 nan in a monkey suit
out on the hill with q ball in his
hand. a man in another o
key suit picks up a bat, and steps
lup to the plate and that IS
! how baseball begins in New York.

Edison Lauds Wiukie.
Says Best Man Won

CAMDEN, N. j., June 29-R-
Former Secretary of the Navy
Charles A. Edison praised the Sc
lection of Wendell L. Willkie as
republican presidential nominee
today and said the navy would be
in good hands" under the guild
ance of Colonel Frank Knox.
Edison, who resigned from Pres

as democratic candidate for gov

to speak at the dedication of the
Veterans Memorial Junior H i e h
school in connection with the meet
ing of the state department of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Il think, undoubtedly, the best

to the recent republican conven-

Sunday School Lesson

wicked city, and Jonah received
the call of God to 60 and witness
there for righteousness and truth.
It was not unnatural that he should
rebel against such a task. It was
an unpleasant task in itself, to 90
as an individual and set himself
as a preacher in the hostile en-
vironment of luxury and wicked
ness. He might well have asked
what his lone voice, crying in such
a scene, could have accomplished.
But there was a further antip-
athy in Jonah to obedience to this
call. Nineveh was a foreign city
against which Jonah might have
been expected to have all the
prejudice of a Jew, who believed
himself to be of a chosen race.
Here there emerges the great
central idea of the book. and it's
teaching. It is a missionary book,
presenting with considerable
clarity the conception Of God as
the God of the whole world whose
grace and mercy are on all people
and not for the chosen few.
In this respect Jonah's reluc.
lance to 60 and preach in Nineveh
is typical Of that narrow conception
Of religion and life, that lack of
any apprehension of the richness
and fullness of Gods mercy, which
has led even good people in later
ages, as in u own time, to be
very apathetic regarding the
spread of the Gospel. .
It is not true that we are most
content to live within u own
narrow circle of home, or COM
munity, or nation, disregarding the
larger world and its needs ana
the boundless grace of God which
He has intended for all?
If the world had been a
world of Christian missions, II

The title of this lesson, Jonah:
the Outreach of Gods Love-" is
Impressive in the truthfulness and
accuracy with which it describes
a book that has been perhaps more
seriously misunderstood and mis-
treated than any other writing
in history.
With the serious liberalism of
those who have been unable in
their reading of the Bible to re.
alize the nature and extent of
imagery in the presentation of
truth, or with the light and
trivial humor that has attached
to it. reference to the book of
Jonah has almost completely
conferred arouAd the fish story"
This would MT matter so much,
were it not that in this liberalism
and in this concentration upon the
story Of the great fish swallowing
Jonah. there has been an almost
complete loss Of the great spiritual
teaching and beauty of a book
that, although it is only of a few
chapters, marks the very highest
point of Old Testament teaching
in its conception of God and His
grace.

ment to enter into, or to discuss.
