Wicker Will Preach on Ibis Subject Tonight. "The Price of Sin" was the subject of the sermon at - the " First Baptist church last sight by Evangelist John J, Wicker. At the close of the service four were .admitted - to church membership, three by letter and one by experience: Mr. Wicker announced that-he would preach tonight on the subject, "The Par able of the Excuses." He said he hoped there would be among the congregation some of the business men of the city who are not Christians. He urged the Christians in the congre gation to do personal work. It was greatly needed, he said. . "Ten years ago," he said, "this church would have been crowded with people and by this time there would have been scores ot conversions." He said that the world had so multi plied its diversions that people don't go to church as they once did. In the hard, splid lessons that are taught in church they don't get the nervous stimulation that they derive from the five cent shows. The remedy was, he stated, for Chris tians to go out manfully and do person al work. If they didn't, tie churches might as well shut up shop. , UNITED STATES COURT Number of Cases Disposed of Before Judge Boyd Yesterday.

Bill At Cm PaitYisliriJv. Errors and Loose Playing Responsible For Scores Made Pitchers For Each Side Did Good Work, But Were Given Little Support Four of McKevltt's Best Players Absent Locals Go Up Against Boston Team This Afternoon Guilford Defeats Wake Forest. Danville walloped Greensboro yester day by the score of 12 to 5 in a ragged game which abounded in hits, errors, stupid base running, and lots of careless playing. The locals were the chief of fenders, but the work of the visitors at' times was equally as bad. Bob Howard was in the box for Dan ville during the first five innings and barring a little wildness pitched winning ball. Only one hit was secured off his delivery, errors by his teammates being responsible for the two runs scored by the. locals while he was in the pit..Moser succeeded Howard in the sixth and was touched up rather lively, nine hits be ing secured off his delivery. Manager McKevitt sent Mersman to the box at the opening of the game wher he remained for five innings. Four runs were scored by the visitors during this time but not a single one was earned. Long finished the game but fared worse. Three runs were scored in the first inning on errors by Anthony and Walsh coupled with two hits. Two hits and an error in the third allowed Danville their fourth tally. Three goose eggs were handed the visitors in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings but in the seventh trouble broke loose again. Four runs were scored by Danville in this inning on two singles, two errors, a stolen base, and a passed ball, all mixed up in a way that made every body present wish they were home again. Danville tallied again in the eighth and crossed the plate three times in the ninth in the same way. Hicks scored the first run for his team on a wild throw to first which allowed him to go to third, and a long fly to left garden which enabled him to com plete his journey to the plate safely. The locals scored again in the fifth when Stube walked, stole second, and scored when Danville's left fielder failed to catch Long's drive which was cut down to a single by being knocked down by that player. . Lynch in the seventh hit one past third that was good for three sacks. Stube next up, walked. Finnerty fanned. Long hit a hot one between first and second which caught Stube. who was making a dash for sec ond on the shins, this putting him out. Long was safe but was robbed of a two bagger by the ball hitting Stube. An thony singled scoring Lynch. In the ninth the locals added two more runs when Stube walked for the fourth time followed by a single by Finnerty and a bad error by the visitors which allowed Stube to score. Finnerty took third on this play and came home when Anthony pasted one to left garden. The local, team is a patched up affair as it is now composed. A pitcher play ed first base, at catcher played right field, a borrowed man short, and recruits in center field and third base. Playing the men out of position prevents any team work and prevents that lack of confidence that is essential to the win ning of games. Manager McKevitt is severely handicapped at present by the absence of four of his best players but 'is making the most, of, the situation. Sisson the crack center-fielder is in the hospital. . Jackson, Simmons, Doak, Ridgeway, and Walters have rot report ed and will not be able to join the team---until the latter part of the month. Score by innings: K.H.H,.
