A lot of people think that the
game of golf is just game in
which a player hits a little white
ball and then chases after it.
But to other sportsmen it has
a different meaning. It is case
of comparison with baseball
where the greatest thrill of the
game is batting the ball. In an
game of baseball, each
player becomes a batter three or
four times during the regular
nine innings.
In golf, the player is always
up to bat and always has
chance to make a hit-and when
he does hit a good one, he for
gets about all of the bad ones.
There are so many people era
zy about golf now that there is
no need to try to make the sport
sound good to others.

Will Pete Groy
Go To Minors?

Some baseball fans are of the
opinion that Pete Gray, the one
armed outfielder of the st. Louis
Browns, is through in major
league baseball. 1t is said that
big league pitching is just too
much for the energetic, but
handicapped idol of thousands
of fans.
There was some hope that
Pete would be sent to the To-
ledo Mud Hens, but according
to word received from him, he
would rather play in the west
coast leagues.
There will be many younger
ball players returning from the
services and it would be diff
cult for most of the old timers
to compete with them for reg
ular positions on the big league
teams. That means that handi-
capped player would have to be
phenomenal to secure a regular
berth.

BY CASPAR NAMES.

On Easter Sunday In 1912 an
Army officer, tired looking and in a
weather. beaten uniform, entered
the Church of the Ascension, Mas
sachusettst avenue and Twelfth
street NV, and asked If he might
attend services. He was, of course,
made welcome The eyes of those
he spoke to must have contained
silent questions regarding his ex-
perienceS, which showed in his face.
for he explained, Il have just landed
here from Corregidor."
The incident is one of many kinds
occurring during the 100 years of the
church, which will observe the an
niversary with appropriate cere-
monies, starting March 4. +
Though the formal organization of
Ascension Parish was March l. 1845,
the beginnings go back to the spring
of 1874. At that time the Rev. Levin
Irving Gillis came to Washington
at the request of Episcopalian min
listers here to aid in forming a new
congregation in that part of the city
where Episcopal services had never
been held. Mr.. Gillis began by hold
| ing Sunday afternoon services in
Columbia Academy, a small school
run by John Mcleod on H near
Ninth street NV. s..
A short time later the congrega-
tion decided to build on a lot do
mated by Mr.. and Mrs. John P. Van
Ness, on the south side of H street
between Ninth and Tenth streets
NV. The first service in the church,
given its present name at the time,
was In December, 1874. The formal
date OF organization was always
considered March l, 1845. as the
parish was not in full running order
until that time.
In 1857 the Rev DR.. William Pink
ney, later the fifth Bishop of Mary
land, became rector. He was a ma
tive Marylander whose sympathies,
as were those of the Ascension con-
gregation, with the South. He
clashed with Bishop of Maryland
William R. Whittingham, declining
to use a prayer for Union services
issued by the bishop in March, 1862.
Charges filed by the bishop against
DR.. Pickney were ignored by the
Standing Committee of the diocese.
In March, 1862, members of the
church came to service one Sum
day to find the building in the hands
of Federal troops and the inside
being torn up for use as a hospital.
Protests were to no avail, and the
Union forces occupied the church
until the end of the war.
The forced occupation proved in
some respects to be blessing in
disguise for one result was to in
terest w. w. Corcoran, probably the
Districts richest resident at the
time, in the church. He offered the

of the Committee on Religious Life
in the Nations Capital and pastor of

The service is planned especially
for persons in Washington who were

memorial services were held for
loved ones. A memorial list will
appear in the service leaf1et and
will be memorialized at the altar.
In addition to cathedral staff the
following will participate: Chaplain

congregation the use of a building
on H street until such time as the
church would be returned. Mr.. Cor
coran became a close friend of DR..
Pinkney and was baptized by the
latter in 1868. DR.. Pinkney re-
signed in 1870 to become Bishop
of Maryland.
The Rev. o. Hutton was rector
from 1870 to 1872 After a period
when DR.. Pinkney served as rector
without pay, the Rev. John H. FL
lott became first associate rector
and then rector. 1t was during his
rectorship that the present church
was built, the first service being
held in the structure on December
5, 1875. The church served as the
pro- athedral of the diocese from
October, 1902, to May, 1912.
Among the rectors to serve since
Mr.. Elliott were the Revs, j. Hen
ming Helms, Thomas w. Cooke,
Francis A. Parsons and Raymond
L. Wolven.
When DR.. Cooke became rector
on November /, 1922, Jesse c. Watts
was appointed to the Office of regis
trar, position he still holds. He
has put into shape the records of
the church, upon which Frederick
S. Tyler. a prominent Washington
lawyer and member of the church,
has based his history of the in
stitution.
The Very Rev. Corwin G. Roach
is at present minister in charge,
having been appointed to the Office
in August, 1914. He is a graduate
of Yale Divinity School and also
received his B. D. degree there in
1927 with the summa cum laude
citation, the third in the history
of the school to achieve the honor.
He received his Phi. D degree from
the Yale Graduate School in 1885.
He served Garious congregations
in New Haven and Hartford before
going as professor of Hebrew and
Old Testament to Bexley Hall Divi-
nifty School of Kenyon College,
Gambler, Ohio. During the war
emergency the Bexley Hall school is
temporarily located in Alexandria,
Va. in cooperation with the Vr-
ginia Theological Seminary and it
is this connection that makes it
possible for DR.. Roach to act as
minister here. He is married; has
two children, Beth and Mary, and
now resides in Alexandria.
