BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

Washington has its own Pied
Piper in the person OF H. Grady
Story, who makes his home at 214
John Marshall place NV, head
quarters of the Gospel Mission.
Unlike the legendary Pied Piper
of Hamelin, who led the towns
children away, never to return, Mr..
Story shepherds the youngsters in
his immediate neighborhood to Sum-
day School at the Calvary Baptist
Church, Eighth and H streets NV,
each Sunday and escorts them
safely home again.
Usually, the little troupe num-
bers about fifteen children. Often,
the total is thirty or more, with the
proportion of boys and girls being
about equal.
From doorways on various nearby
streets, Sunday after Sunday, comes
the shout: Here's the Sunday
school man." Often a mother with
a tiny toddler by her side or
baby in her arms waves good by"
as the procession goes on its way.
Often Picks up Recruits.
Sometimes unexpected recruits are
gained en- route, Mr.. Story, being
very patient about making extra
stops not planned in his time sched-
ule. Usually it takes about an hour
to an hour and half to make the
trip each way.
Rainy weather or heavy snow
storms are the only things that keep
the group at home. "And," Mr..
Story observed, cts extraordinary
how few rainy Sundays or snowy
ones, we have had since I started
these walks to Sunday School,"
They came about this way. About
four years ago, Mr.. Story, who is
the night watchman and one of the
workers at the Gospel Mission, no
ticed that few of the children in
that more or less transient-resi-
Dental neighbrhood seemed to be
going to Sunday School.
A house-to-house canvass on his
part developed the fact that the
fathers of manv of them worked on
Sunday. Indifference on the part
of the mothers accounted for very
few of the Sunday school absentees.
In almost every instance they were
either without knowledge of where
there were Sunday school facili-
ties, or had to be busy during the
Sunday school hour with their
household duties or the care of
younger children.

BY JAKE BERSON

Detroit's sandlots, a happy hunt
ing ground for major league base
ball scouts in the last few years,
continues TO draw the attention
of sharp-eyed ivory hunters.
The Detroit Tigers, naturally.
have the most interest in young
players on local diamonds. and it's
scout, Wish" Egan. has signed
more promising boys than any of
the other clubs.
Egan, who first picked up Bar
ney MeCosky and Hal Newhouser
for the Tigers. has a new crop of
Detroiters performing as freshmen
in professional baseball this sea-
son.
One OF the most promising of
Egan.s new proteges is Ted Gray,
a 17-year-old pitcher from High
land Park. Gray, after playing
with Highland Park High and
Vincent Post in the American
Legion last season, was sent 10
Winston-Salem of the fast Pied
mont League this spring. Despite
his inexperience. Gray is sticking
with the club and is a regular
starter on the pitching staff.
Bob Hall, 18-year-old pitcher
who played with Western High
and Acme in the Detroit Baseball
Federation. is another of las,
years sandlot graduates on d
Tiger farm club. He is now with
Fulton. KY, in the Kitty League
