Mr. Fredericks, a former em

the cylinder after eleven years of
experimenting with printing ma

and distributed by the Goss

The new cylinder employs the
use of a simple bar which cylin

bar fitting in a groove in the
cylinder. It replaces the more
cumbersome use of individual pins.
Mr. Fredericks also has three

Born in a Methodist parsonage, he

that he had unusual talents as an
athlete, he entered temporarily

1 rose
| a while played with the Chatta
! nooga Lookouts in the Southern
League. Big league scouters soon
spotted him and he was sold to
* be Detroit Tigers in the Amer
ican League.
At this point he was faced with
a great decision. During his col
lege days at old Emory he had de
termined to be a preacher as his
father had been. But here he saw
an opportunity to win success in
the world of professional sports,
Before him were two contracts re
ceived about the same time. One
a contract for $7500.00 with the
Detroit Tigers, another a contract
f° r $800.00 with the Methodist
Church on a small appointment In
the North Georgia Conference,
the meantime he and Mary,
as he always calls his wife, had
been married; and together they
made the decision to cast their lot
with the church at $800.00 per
year.
Then having made that great de
cision. athletics became his hobby,
his avocation, not his vocation,
After he passed thirty, w'hen most
baseball players retire, he took
up golf.
In golf he gamed the same skill
and proficiency that he had ae
quired in baseball. He has entered
many tournaments and has more
than 65 trophies, having success
fully competed with some of the
ranking amateurs in America.
Though he has been in Atlanta
only two years he has captivated
the citizenship of that city, who
admire him and love him as one
of God’s men, but also as a man’s
man.
President Eady of the Kiwanis
Club, commenting on this program,
said, "Dr Pierce Harris is one of
the great platform speakers of
America,’ and expressed the hope
that every Kiwanian would be pre

representatives from the Rotary
Club have been invited to the
meeting.
