Day BY Day
SCRAPPING THE BIBLE
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

SCRAPP1NG THE BIBLE
Nobody but an avowed atheist
has the courage to say, "Abolish
the Bible!"
Nevertheless, many modern
teachers are SO definitely repudi-
ating explicit major teachings of
Scripture that, they invalidate the
trustworthiness of the entire Book;
and If they were brave enough to
follow their doctrines to a clear
and logical conclusion, they, too
would have to declare, with the
atheist, abolish the Bible!"
1nsidious and dangerous is this
new attitude toward the word of
God. 1t rejects whatever does not
suit the mood of the moment, and
yet processes to hold on to the
rest. 1t exalts Jesus as a social
retormer, teacher and an ex
ample, but refuses to believe that
He told the truth about Himself,
about God, and about man.
These are days wherein faithful
oellevers should hold fast to the
Bible, and make it the man of
their counsel, in life as in doctrine.
We give Thee thanks, o God,
Tor the word of revelation; and
Tor the comfort and counsel it has
been to Thy children throughout
the ages. Through it we know
Christ and salvation. Deliver us
from any departure from its truth
Amen.

PACIFIC LEAGUE
PLANS SCHEDULE

LOS ANGELES, March 2s.-lP
AS usual, the Pacific Coast
League will be the first to break
the baseball barrier.
The opening Saturday will be
watched closely throughout the
country, because as the initial
starter the league will serve as
a test tube for another year of
wartime baseball.
Advance sales indicate that in
terest is even greater than it
was year ago when the league
launched what proved to be the
biggest season in its history.
Just as year ago, club owners
can promise nothing definite in the
matter of playing talent which
goes to make a winner. Yet last
year brought the closest race in
the history of the league and one
OF the closest in the entire his
tory of baseball.
Last season combined two ex-
tremes. players in their forties and
others in their teens. The result
was surprisingly good baseball,
The same situation exists in 1915,
with an important addition: Play
ers will include athletes who have
served here and overseas and re-
ceived their honorable discharge.
Many of these players will improve
the caliber of the baseball played
in the league.

VET WILL COACH
WASHINGTON Nine

WASHINGTON, March 20. -U,D
1t. Bert Sheppard, war veteran
who lost a leg in a flight over
Germany last May, was signed to
a Washington Senator coaching
contract today and will be made
an active player if his ability as
a pitcher warrants.
1--WE are going to give Sheppard
every chance to make good as a
ball player" President Clark Grit
fifth of the Senators said. His
temporary status is that of coach,
but after we have cut down our
squad, Sheppard will be placed on
the active list. He will be a relief
pitcher and pinch hitter and will
also carry on his morale work for
the War Department.
Sheppard has been working out
with the Senators since the train
ing season opened and has not
been hampered by his artificial
limb. President Larry MacPhail
of the New York Yankees flew
Sheppard to Atlantic City, N. j.,
where he attempted to sign him
with the Yanks last week.
"This is a dream come true, "
Sheppard said.

tomorrow when they tee off on the
rolling Hope Valley course here in
the opening round of the second
annual $1,000 Durham open golf
tournament.
Craig Wood, of Marmaroneck. N.
Y, defending Durham champion, IS
definitely the sentimental favorfte
with the local fans. Among the
pros the opinion is that Nelson,
who comes from Toledo, O., prob.
ably will annex the first prize
money of 81 900 to run his seasons
cash winnings to $n,865.
To date Snead, of Hot Springs,
Va, and top money-winner Nelson
have taken IL of the is tourna-
ments on the winter circuit, with
each having six victories.
A prediction of cooler weather to-
morrow was welcomed by the field

touring pros came here Monday
from Greensboro but have practic-
ed only lightly because of Sle I'M

tournament manager, made a fl
nal inspection with the sponsoring

net TITLE GOES
TO MRS. RIHBANY

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, March
29.-W.H-After dropping the first
set, Mrs. Helen Petersen Rihbany
Of New York staged a determined
comeback today to win the Ma.
tional Women's Indoor Tennis
championship from Defending Tit
list Katharine Winthrop of Hamil-
ton at the Longwood Cricket Club.
The score was 4-6, 80, 6-3.
Subdued at the outset by her
rivals sparkling net play, Mrs.
Rihbany wrested control of the
match in the second set and was
never in danger. Her baseline
volleys continually caught Miss
Winthrop unprepared, and her
magnificent lobbing kept the cham.
pion away from the forecourt.
The blonde New Yorker played
steadily throughout the last two
sets, forcing Miss Winthrop into
numerous errors with her singing
service and her powerful cross
court forehand smashes. With the
games tied 3-3 in the final set,
Miss Winthrop resumed her net
game briefly, but after taking
three straight points was passed
repeatedly when she tried to move
from the baseline.
I'm the doubles competition, Miss
Winthrop gained measure Of
revenge by teaming with Mrs. Mel
vim M. Johnson Jr, of Brookline
to defeat Mrs. Rihbany and Mrs
Stokum of New York ga, 7-55.
