FROM BASEBALL DIAMOND TO SAWDUST TRAIL == WAISTLINES T m CENTRAL PARK--- ] “SpokAnE € WON KENTUCKY| DERBY- TiME - 2: 344 BARE FISTS HE RING -~ IN By ALEXANDER GEORCE (Associated Press Feature Writer) On a sultry Sunday afternoon in the “wicked horse-car city” that was New York 40 years ago, an athletic appearing young man ing a black frock coat and white trousers faced a mo! audience of men in the old Y. M. C. A, auditorium, He was W. A “Billy” Sunday, the chunky little ripght fielder of the Pittsburgh bascball club who had “discarded his bat for the Bible” to spend an afternoon in the evangelistic ficld. In the aud- ience “were many old bleacherites who came through curiosity and went away thoroughly convinced of the crror of their ways.” “His marvelous base stealing le trod the diamond of Christianity with the same quick zeal he exhib- ited on the ball field,” said a re- parter of that day. “The little right fielder raced out on the baseline of truth and with three-baggers of rhetoric drove home the gospel of Christianity. ‘“He implored the players in the great game of life not to steal too far away from the bases of religion, and picturing the horror of bging eternally put out, he asked his audience to slide in at every op- portunity.” A Chinese and a red-nosed gen- tleman in the audience were select- gs ed by him as imaginary first and | third basemen. Mr. Sunday called | attention to the fact that the Um- pire of Creation was just and wise. Then turning toward the first base- man, he intimated that the batters in the game of life need have no fear of “yellow” decisions. “The Chinaman fielded this hot one flawlessly and without a flick- er of his almond eyes,” while Sun- ¥ | Bernhardt, with an flpp’Al to “take up the bat of the outeurves of day wound up his listeners t truth and slug Satan.” out four in St. Louis, the Browns, times champions of their league, de the first appearance of the season on the home grounds and were welcomed by Mayor Noon- an and thousands of baseball “cranks” at Sportsmen Park.
