TUBERCULOSIS DAY 4 OBSERVEDSU(IDAY Another Arrangement by Ministers will Make Local Observance Slight. (American News Service) New York, April 29. In response to the appeal of the National association for the Study and Prevention . of Tuberculosis some 200.000 churches of al! denominations and in all parts of the country have agreed to observe tomorrow as "Tuberculosis Sunday," The chief purpose of the observance is to call the matter directly to the attention of the 33.000.000 church members In the United States and to convey to them Information concerning the dread disease which they might not otherwise be able to gain. The National association hopes to receive valuable aid in its work through the co-operation of the church. It Is planning to gather statistics from the thousands of ministers, showing how serious a problem tuberculosis Is to every church. These figures will Indicate among other things the number of deaths last year from tuberculosis In church congregations, and the extent to which clergymen are called upon to minister to sufferers from this disease. . It is planned also to Issue millions of circulars and pamphlets on the prevention of the disease, both from the national office and from the headquarters of the 450 anti-tuberculosis associations who are co-operating in the movement

NOT OBSERVED HERE Tomorrow will be Y. M. C. A. day in the churches of the city. Special sermons dealing with the work of the Y. M. C. A. and its value as an asset to the community have been prepared by most of the ministers. At several of the churches a number of Iho laymen who are particularly interested in the work of the association will be called upon to speak In addition to the regular sermon. It is hoped by the services to greatly stimulate interest in the Y. M. C. A. work of the city, and to more thoroughly acquaint the people bf Richmond with its purposes and its accomplishments. The sermons of the ministers and the talks by the laymen will deal particularly with the activities of the local association and their effect upon the men of the city. Tomorrow Is also the day set aside all over the nation for the observance of "Tuberculosis Sunday," but as the local ministers at a meeting of the ministerial association arranged to speak of the Y. M. C. A. work, the subject of tuberculosis will not be discussed tomorrow to any great etxent. In some cases both subjects will be taken up, but it was the opinion of most of the ministers that neither of the subjects could be done justice at the same time so a consideration of tuberculosis, its prevention and cure, will be postponed until a later date. SPORTING GOSSIP BASEBALL NOTES. It looks as though Hunter had cinch ed the first base job with the Pirates. After several years of pinch hitting Dode Criss Is back in the box pitching for the Browns. The big league scouts are all out on the job and eager to grab the youngsters that look good. The Giants look like a lot of glngowabos when they run up against Charlie Dooin's Quakers. Bill Bradley, the old Cleveland play er, is looking after the third station for Toronto and doing good work. Boston fans believe they have the greatest outfield in the business in Speaker, Lewis and Hooper of the Red Sox. During his school days In West Vir ginia Dick Hoblitzel, the Cincinnati first baseman was a star football play er. Mrs. H. H. Robinson Britton, a niece of the late Stanley Robinson, has been elected vice president of the St. Louis Cardinals. The New York Americans will dedi cate the new ball park at Cincinnati next spring, a few days befjre the opening of the regular season. No brides can travel with the .Ath letics. Connie Mack says . that his players must leave their wives at home. And Connie himself a bridegroom. Can you beat that? Third Baseman Zimmerman of the Cubs has to stand a lot of rough stuff In Chicago. Every time he makes a bobble the fans become peeved and holler for Steinfeldt It Jimmy McAIeers Washington out fit can bold fast to their present speed American league teams will not be able to jam the Nationals down in the second division and keep them there. No, sir. Manager Fred Tenney of the Boston Rustlers is another old boy with a return ticket Fred is showing the same winning stuff that he displayed the year Bunker Hill was discovered. WITH THE BOXERS. Al Kaufman and Jim Flynn will meet in Kansas City, May 5. Two decisions over Monte Aattell have boosted the stock of Al Delmont, the Boston scrapper.

CRACK POLO STARS

, PLAY FOR "CUIIIIY If Benefit for Injured Player a Success Financially and as a uame. Richmond polo enthusiasts did honor last evening at the Coliseum to little George Cunningham, whose fast and clever playing in the old Western league days often had been to them a source of pleasure and thrilling delight, and at the same time witnessed an exciting and well played overtime game of polo in which Richmond was defeated by Elwood to the tune of 7 to 6. The game was played as a benefit to Cunningham, who suffered an injury in a rectn game with Elwood that necessitated the removal of his right eye, and it undoubtedly was the fastest exhibition ever seen in this city when nothing was at stake to cause the players to etxend themselves. A fair-sized crowd turned out to see the two teams clash, despite the inclement weather, but the crowd could hardly be taken as an estimate of the amount of money raised locally as many tickets were disposed of to per sons who . did not attend the game. The sale of tickets in the past where Cunningham became a popular idol during his playing in the Eastern league, is expected to raise the amount of money to about $500 for donation to the injured player. The lineups of the two teams were as follows: Richmond -.Elwood First Rush ' " Quigley Lewis Second Rush Thompson Hickey and Fahrer Center Griffith Harrold Half Back, Edgertosj Lyons ' Goal ' O'Metz - Hickey Goals: First period, Elwood Lewis .05, Lewis 3:00; Richmond, Quigley 3:32, Quigley 4:10.

A POET IN CONGRESS Washington, April 29. The house of representatives can boast of another humorist In the person of Congressman Kent of California. During a dignified debate on the "farmers free list" Mr. Kent opened with an amusing "roast" on the tariff laws in general, as his maiden effort, and ended with the following poem, which threw the house in an uproar: "He makes it clear to me That what I lose I gain, you see; And oh such things as clothes and - shoes vI seem to gain, but really lose. Thus, If I bay my ocks too low. They'll still be higher he says soAnd shoes I thought were high last fall Were really low shoes after alL If I pay less for shoes. Or hats, the maker has to lose; . And If he loses, then, you see. He charges op the loss to me In all this prosperity, v The speeches shed a radiant light Upon the theme and make it bright; I merely read them o'er and o'er To and more's less and less is more In buying hat or coat or vest. Dear's cheap and cheap is dear at best. High's low. low's high, Fars near, near's far. White's black, black's white ' And there you are."
