needn't be alarmed this af-
ternoon should they chance to
encounter on the main streets
, group of be-whiskered gen
tlemen with Iuxuriant growths
Of glistening chestnut hair

The House of David base
hall team is scheduled to play
the Wilmington Pirates to-
night at s o'clock at the Amer
lean Legion Stadium, and in
ell probability these lads will
be roaming the streets during
the afternoon.
The bearded beauties of
baseballdom are the most
unique and eccentric group
Of baseball players known to-
day and despite their grand
fatherly appearance are one
of the fastest semi-pro out
fits In the country. During
their tour this spring they
have defeated many major
league clubs. The unshaven
athletes are rated a very
agile and capable group of
baseball players.
The religious beliefs of the
players cause them to wear
the flowing boards. They are
human, as all athletes are, but
t,.ey have their own peculiar
beliefs, and the wearing of
the beard" is one. of them.
Biblical history records the
fact that Sampson was the
strongest mortal in the world
when his vigorous beard was
In fall bloom, but once shern
Of his locks he was deprived
OF his terrible strength, and
filled with sorrow and remorse

Herman Wick, winner of both of
his starts this season, will prob
ably get the opening nod from
Coach Leon Brogden for New Han
over High.
If Wilmington wins tonight's en-
gagement it will be their seventh
straight victory over Fayetteville
in basketball, football, and base
ball over a two year span. The
Wildcat football team wh ,oped the
Bulldogs in both 1945 and 1916,
the basketball aggregation tram
pied Fayetteville twice in basket
ball this past season, and the base
ball outfit whipped the Soldier City
entry both times the two clubs met
in 1916. Therefore, if Fayetteville
takes tonight's tilt it will be their
first win over Wilmington in any
type of sport since the baseball
season of 1915.
The three leading hitters of the
Eastern Conference, Paul Horton,
of Wilmington and Nub Smith and
Malcolm Yates of Fayetteville, are
expected to wage a personal slug
ging exhibition in tonight's fracas.
All three are deadlocked for the
highest loop average with marks
of 500 each.
Both the Wildcats and Bulldogs
are u~ndefeated. Wilmington has
trampled Wilson, 43, Raleigh, TO-
0, Goldsboro, 20-2, and Durham,
1876. Fayetteville has walloped Ra-
leigh, AZ, and Goldsboro, 17-7.
Whoever wins tonight will take
the undisputed leadership of the
Eastern Conference.
New Hanover High will put on
the field the hardest hitting in
field unit in the conference. On
third base will be Levy Heath,
who is seeking the ball at a 400
pace; on shortstop ]. C. Price, a

Two other cars equipped with pub

neighborhood, announcing the
meeting and the place.
Men Come from Pub.
Soon a crowd Of children swarmed
in from the surrounding dwellings
and some men came out of the pub
ar1d stood rather self consciously
some distance from the Commands.
Then one Of the Comnlandos be-
gan his assault. 1t was a straight
from the shoulder discussion of the
need for a return to a belief In God,
beautifully but effectively worded
in voice that would command re-
spect aEy place In the English
speaking world.
Around the triangle, dim figures
could be seen at the windows of the
three story buildings. To these the
speaker addressed himself.
Pull back your curtains and open
your windows" he called in tones
amplified to a roar that filled the
neighborhood.
And slowly the windows were
raised. Old people and young
leaned out and listened to the
speakers tell Of the dire need, OF
this country and the world, for a
renewal of the old beliefs.
Many Meetings Held.
A group Of men, formerly men,
bers Of the military police force of
the British Army, mingled with the
crowd, urging them to sign cards or
join in the broadcasts with personal
testimony of the need for religion.
Such meetings were going on all
over London and, following the
street meetings, there were further
assemblies in churches and halls.
Without doubt this approach
is successful, and unquestionably
needed. According to the Bishop of
Rochester, who Is taking part in the
assault on irreligion, less than 10
per cent of the people in the United
Kingdom are attached to a place of
worship. OF the remainder, only
80 per cent are friendly disposed to
religion. Half the population is en-
tirely indifferent.
