FREEDOM THROUGH A SLAVE
TIME story of Ebed-melech'S kind

FREEDOM THROUGH A SLAVE
THE story of Fbed-melech's kind
Il ness to jeremiah lifts to en-
nobling example the act of slave
on behalf of freedom. The worlds
benefactors are those who under
stand freedom, and cast themselves
in utter self-forgetfulness into the
struggle for right against wrong.
What had jeremiah done to re-
ceive such harsh treatment? He
had delivered Gods message to
the people Of Jerusalem, warning
them that the city would be taken
by the Chaldeans, and how they
might escape destruction. jeremiah
was proclaiming freedom not al
ways a popular course For this ef-
fort to help the people, he was
thrown into the muddy dungeon.
This servant of the king was the
only man in Jerusalem who under
stood the purpose of jeremiah.

Social People

It seems clear to me that God
designed us to live IN society
just as He has given the bees the
honey; and as our social system
could not subsist without the sense
Of justice and injustice. He has given
US the power to acquire that sense.
-Voltaire.
Our Creator would never have
made such lovely days, and have
given us the deep hearts to enjoy
them, above and beyond all thought,
unless we were meant to be inn
observation-disclosures.
Christianity is not a theory or
speculation, but a life and a living
process.-Coleridge.

Naming Month of Nav

How the month Of May got its
name is a subject Of controversy
among historians. According to the
World Book encyclopedia, the most
widely accepted story is that the
month was named after 'Maia,"
the Roman goddess of spring and
g1 owth. But some scholars claim
May was a month sacred to the
"Majores" or older men, just as
June was sacred to the "Juniores,"
or younger men.

Zebekiah, as the story reveals, held
Ebed-melech in high esteem. He
was, obviously, most honorable
man How he had come to know
jeremiah, and to esteem him so
highly, is a subject for profitable
contemplation. The devotional read
ing, Matthew 25:31-46, offers final
opinion on the value of Ebed-
melech's ministry to jeremiah. The
golden text, LAS we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all
men," Galatians 6:10.
JEREMIAH'S FRIEND
II BED-MELECH was Jeremiah's
IL friend. When he saw what the
princes had done to jeremiah, he
went to the king and begged him to
allow him to draw jeremiah out of
the mire in the dark dungeon. He
knew that jeremiah would soon die
in this awful place, and Ebed-
melech risked his life in making the
request to rescue jeremiah. The
wonder is that the princes had not
ordered Ebed-melech slain. Evi-
IDENTIFY, they recognized the hand of
God.
Like as this Negro servant in the
long ago served God by rendering
kindness to a man of another race,
so may we today serve God and
civilization by good will and kindly
service to all races.

Ex-Open King Hamilton Finds
Prince Georqes Sitter Test

Hamilton, the father Of boys IA
and 8. does not rely on tourna-
ment winnings as his sole income,
however. He represents a Rey-
nolds, KY, metal company that
is producing metal heads for
wood clubs. Il won $l10 here
last year, tied for the last money
place" Hamilton said, which
left me more than 500 in the
hole for the tournament ex-
penses."
After one round over the
Prince Georges course Hamilton
said he noticed tremendous
difference. Last year, l remem-
ber, used a drive and a nine
iron on the 18th hole every time
I played it. Today used a drive
and a four iron" he said, to cite
an example. Hamilton added 1t
is in much better condition than
a majority of the courses on the
tour. g.
Hamilton was on the 49o-yaro
par-five 10th hole with drive
and a spoon yesterday, in non
favoring wind. He smacked a
drive into the ditch on the 18th,
a little over 300 yards, and missed
a hole-in-one on the 18th when
his iron shot glanced off the pin
and stopped a few inches past.
Hamilton won $3,162.50 on the
winter tour to finish 14th, de-
spite an attack of the flu that
kept him out Of five tourna-
ments. He plans to make the en-
tire summer circuit and today
was named as one Of the Is

U.S.. Olympic Hopefuls
Are Parading Wares
In Penn Relays
BY the Asseeictsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, April %. -
American Olympic prospects on
parade might well be another name
for the University Of Pennsylvania's
54th relay carnival opening a two
day. stand at Franklin Field today.
The 81 events, 80 Of them booked
for today, bring together more than
5000 athletes from nearly 500 high
and preparatory schools and COL
leges.
The college competition, including
eight major relay championships, is
expected to provide clues as to
American Olympic prospects with
some track observers predicting
comparative unknowns will use the
races as a London springboard.
On the basis of four triumphs in
last Saturdays Seton Hall relays,
New York University is favored to
Cdl1 y O44 1llOot VI t&lC Adu1 Gao 90 C11C
Violets did last year. Michigan and
Penn State also are highly regard
ed In several of the baton events.
No. prospect on parade today
will be Michigan's Charles Fon-
vile. He boosted the world shot put
record to So feet, u Inch in the
Kansas Relays last week. He'll be
out to surpass the carnival stand
ard of IS feet 5as s-inches made by
the late Al Blozis in 1910.
Standout in the discus is Vic
Frank, Yale's IC4A champion. His
toss Of 161 feet, ia inches in dual
meet last week stands as the third
best in the country this year.
With a 9:149 clocking, Horace
Ashenfelter of Penn State figures
to succeed his 1947 teammate, Curt
Stone, as the 2-mile king. Ashen-
felter's presence an Penn State S
4-mile team also makes the Nittany
Lions the choice in that event
tomorrow.

Garden, Hurt by Ring
Managers Guild, Out
For New Talent
Nv the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, April 23.-Madison
Square Garden, mecca or pro boxers
the world over, had big welcome"
sign outside its doors today for
promising puglists.
Mike Jacobs goth Century Sport
ing Club, which promotes fights at
both the spacious Garden and the
smaller St. Nicholas Arena, is on the
hunt for new talent.
Fresh fighters are wanted for
several reasons. The Goth admitted
ly Is hurt by the boycott of the New
York Boxing Managers Guild which
controls most of the name" fight
ers hereabouts. The club Is COM
mitted for around IS shows yearly at
the Garden and St. Nicks for radio
and television.
The guild wants a cut of the tel
evision receipts for the fighters.
The goth says it pays more money
to boxers-as high as SIS and 57la
per cent Of the gate for the main
battlers-than anyone else and de-
clines to share the air gravy.
AS a result of the stalemate, the
guild is keeping its pugilists out OF
the two arenas.
But Twentieth c. s. Matchmaker
Chickie Bogad says boxing here
needs young blood" TRANSMISSION
any way.
There's q dearth of talent around
here guild or no guild" said Bogad
in an interview. Sure the guild
is hurting us little. But we need
new faces. We don't want to use
the same old guys all the time.
We've had good results with young
sters at st. Nicks and at the Gar
den"
He mentioned Tavern Roach, Gino
Buonvino, Kid Gavilan, Terry
Young, Paddy Demarco. Charley
Zivic, Rocky Castellani and Rocco
Rossano, who, among others, have
been featured at the st. Nicks and
then brought up to the Garden.
Look" he said, drawing out a
large sheet of paper with a number
of names scrawled on it, heres a
bunch of good scrappers around the
country we'd like to show here. The
strange part of it is that none OF
their managers has contacted us Tor
bouts.
Maybe they think they have to
have a New York representative or
have to know somebody to get in
here" he continued. But that's a
lot of bunk. Nobody needs a New
York agent to fight here. Let EN-

The public high baseball series
entered the second round OF play
TODAY with a loser in the opening
encounters meeting a winner in all
four games.
Eastern faced spunky nine at
Anacostia, while Central went to
Western, Coolidge to Tech and
Roosevelt to Wilson. Wilson, 81
victor over Anacostia last week. has
been tabled the dark horse and a
win over the Riders today would
lift observers estimates of the
Tigers chances to upset the apple
cart.
Here's the way the teams stacked
ysup as they prepared to do battle
today:
: Eastern-The popular choice to
take the crown without too much
struggle. Has one of the snappiesu
infields seen on the scholastic front
in a long time, a good pitching stall
headed by Eddie Kline. Joe Graves
and Frank Utley and plenty of
batting punch, with Outfelder
Marty Cribbens. Catcher Sal De
Giorgi, First -baseman Dave zatz
and Shortstop Bill Kallas always
dangerous.
Central Has Hitters.
Central-Picked by some observers
as the team to beat Eastern. Has
a powerful batting lineup which
includes Bob johnson. 500 hitter
in series competition last year; Jim
Pantos and Jim Reed, all long ball
hitters, and Catcher Bob Sasko,
who has been hitting at .750 clip.
Tech-Coach Bob Walker is re-
lying on three 200-pound outfelders
to carry the brunt of his hitting
attack. Julius Porns, Romano Mas
cetti and Randy Gaskell aren't ex-
pected to break any speed records
going after long flies. but should
make up for it at the plate. Has
the strongest pitching staff with five
right-handers and three southpaws
Wilson-May be the surprise OF
the year. With the exception of a
loss to Mount Vernon, the Tigers
have had an easy time with the

Revenge on Terps

Georgetown Washington Univer-
versity's baseball team hoped to
atone for yesterdays rs defeat by
Maryland today in a second game
scheduled for Griffith Stadium at
3 o'clock.
For the first time this season, q
Maryland starting pitcher yesterday
went the route-Bucky Loomis, who
won 20 games for the Quantico
Marines last year, scattered nine
Colonial hits and was in serious
trouble only in the second inning
when G. w. pushed across two runs.
Marylands big inning was the
three-run seventh. Joe Andrus
reached first on an error, stole Sec
ond and came home on Jim Noel
ler's single. Gene Enswellers double
and Johnny Hunton's single scored
two more runs.
