st. James AAGE church,located
at s14 Fifteenth Ave. So, the first
Negro church in Minneapolis, has
had q turbulent history.
Historical records show that the
first prayer meeting at which the
seeds Of the church were planted
was at the home Of Paul Brown,
Fourth Avenue 8. e. near Second
st. Five persons attended the
meeting, Mrs. Paul Brown, Matte
williams, Isaac Newton, and the
two daughters Of Mrs. Brown.

Ond st. IL had formerly been oc-
cuPIed by a white congregation.
In March 1859, the building
opened its doors to the new
group, with the Rev. w. Hedge
man a. the first pastor.
Here again there is a gap in the
record. Although the congregation
had possession Of the building,
they did not have the ground
apparently, for the structure was
later torn down and the material
sold. The original owners retained
possession Of the group. Mean
while, several pastors had served
in the pulpit in steady succession.
After the first church was sold,
the congregation moved to q hall
on Main St, and from there to

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-06-10
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, June 10.-Connie
Mack is wearing contented ex-
pression-Dick Fowler's 12-inning
10 shutout of the Chicago White
Sox last night meant more to the
Philadelphia Athletics than just
another victory.
Mack said a week ago that
Fowler-lanky Highlander who
towers 6 feet a inches-was the
'key man in his pitching pic
ture.
If the big boy could overcome
the bursitis condition that gave
him arm trouble last season and
in the first weeks of this cam
paign, Mack said he felt the AS
pennant chances were better
than good.
Last Saturday Fowler set down
the Cleveland Indians for his sec
ond win against three losses but
Mack still wasn't certain the tall
Canadian Army veteran was on
the road to recovery.
Last nights performance was
as good an indication as Mack
can expect.
Fowler went the 12-inning dis
tance, striking out three and
walking two as he allowed the
White Hose seven hits-the only
extra base blow a double by First
Baseman Charley Kress.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-06-10
Mack Happy as Fowler, Rated
As Key HurIer, Bags Big Win

Af1eld, Fowler was just as eff
fective. He had a trio of putouts
that showed him more fleet afoot
than at any time so far this year
But the big boys performance
in the pinches provided the great
est source of satisfaction to Mack
and Battery Coach Earl Brucker
In the ninth inning the White
Sox put men on second and third
with only one out. A long fly
would have ended the game.
Fowler purposely walked Cass
Michaels to load the bases, then
retired Kress on a foul fly and
threw out Grover Bowers on an
inf1eld grounder.
In the 18th after the AS had
scored the games only tally, the
White Sox again put two men on
with one OUT Fowler came
through with strikeout of Steve
Souchock and forced Don Wheeler
to fly out to Pete Suder.
On September 8, 1945, Fowler
pitched a no-hit, no-run game
against the st. Louis Browns.
Coupled with the recent rise Of
Rookie Hurler Alex Kellner, seven
game winner so far this year.
Fowler's return to pitching per-
lection may keep the AS in the
pennant chase right down to the
wire.
