Followers of tho Lumbermen are
still 'trying to figuro out how that
team could so manipulato a total ot
thirteen hits as to not them only
four runs. This remarkablo feat was
accomplished In tliu game against

four hits off Ferguson Dunlgan
amassed seven runs; with thlrtcon
off Dunlgan brothers including two
triples and a double the Lumbermen
accepted n bare four scores.
Jimmy Dunigan took up the bur-
den of hurling for the supplymen
but as Jimmy himself put It "he
knew when to got out." For after
Brewster nnd Culp had lined out sol-
id hits the said Jimmy gave the dis-
tress signal and exchanged positions
with Hddlo Dunigan thlrd-sackor.
Despite the Lumbermen's heavy bom-

MISSOURI MEN
ARE BEATEN BY
MASKED GANG
By I'nited Press.
SPRINGFIELD Mo . June 20.
Cedar and Polk County authorities
aro seeking members of a gang of
men masked after the style of tho
Ku Klu Klan In connection with tho
alleged whipping of Frank Cummel
and Sam Malloy of Fair Play. Mo.
Tho men wero taken from their
homos shortly after midnight last
night. Neither would give Informa
tlon or clews to help identification.
They claimed they did not know the
reason for the whipping.
Tho large Methodist church In
eluding its tabernacle annex was
filled to overflowing last night to
hear tho address of Dr. Bergiu who
Is preaching tho evangelistic set-
mons.
His subject was "Calling Your
Number" put in everyday verbiage
Many a conscience in the audience
doubtles felt a tingle as tho speaker
drove homo his Illustrations. He
hammered excuses and procrastina-
tions to a frazzle. His words of mes
sage were given tho closest at ten
tlon throughout and a vory warm
Interest was manifest at the conclu-
slon when there wero several seek-
ers and ono confession. Tho whole
church marshaled behind the speaker
on the sldo of Christ.
The Doctor took his text from the
nth chapter of St. Luke wherein
the invitation Is extended to "Come
All Things Aro Now Heady." This
had reference to tho Heavenly feast
or reunion of Paradise.
"Man's banquets aro tho happiest
occasions all dollght and no pessi-
mists ihero; no excuses to avoid at-
tendance. But when God invites
thVin to 11 feast In Paradise they be-
gin searching for excuses oven man-
ufacturing them It thoy have to lio
to do It. Some rheumatics cannot
got to church but when tho bargain
counter announces $1.00 for 03 cents
the rheumatics will bo there And
the man who cannot leave his in
valid wife Sunday evening may ue
found out rabbit hunting."
'Moie money is spent for silks
and other finerv In preparation for
ono grand inaugural ball than Is
spent In like preparation in six thou
sand years to attend (God's feast
Men don't pay tho debt they owe
God because Ho cannot compel
them ; they pay man because they arc
afraid of him."
"Thoro aro hypcrltcs In the
church but thoro aro moro In pro-
portion on the outside of the church.
So It Is safer to bo on the Inside
less contact with hypocrites. It you
shun thorn hero by keeping out ot
the church you may stumble on hosts
of hypocrites in hell."
"In this oil town there are per
haps many church letters stoied In
the chests with the moth b-ills. You
are not helping build churches
schools and city but just staying to
get what is obtainable in worldly
goods. You will go back to tho old
homo town and put on your church
garb and get In tho Amen corner
again. But this will not deliver you
from hell."
Tho Doctor then painted a boauti
ful picturo of Heaven and concluded
hiB addross with tho Invitation to
"como now." While tho choir sang
"Whoro He Loads I Will Follow."
there wa a gonoral warm revival
There will bo sorvicos again tonight
Mr. Fort's choir has proven a great
success and Is an ontortaining fea
turo of tho services. The children's
choir Is vory unique. Last night
there wero solo renditions by a num
bor of the little ones who were lifted
totho altar. It was Inspirational.
At the 7 o'clock young folks'
meeting conducted by Homer Fort
there was a guod congregation Some
of tho younger ones reached to the
three score mark. Mr. Fort made a
splondld talk on morality.
"Tho examples wo sot tho pictures
wo hang on tho walls ot the home
tho books that outer therein all mold
the young character. Immorality is
on the Increaso even among tho
high fcchool girls of tho country
while 72 per cent of the young men
are unfit to become husbands ac
cording to U. S. consus statistics.
