CARDS WIN I
14TH G
TOTAKELEAD
Bottomley Hits Homer
With 2 on to Down
Robins 5-2; Yanks
Lose; Babe Gets 24
BY HERBERT W. BARKER
Associated Preaa Sport* Writer
The St. Louit Cardinals champions
•f 1926 and near-repeaters last sea-
son winged their way to the top of
the National league standings.
Two weeks of better than .800 per
cent baseball climaxed by a thrilling
14-inning triumph over Brooklyn Fri-
day enabled the Cardinals to climb
over the Cincinnati Reds and head
the parade in John Heydler's circuit
for the first time since the first
few days of the current campaign.
The Reds unfortunately for them
picked Friday to lose to the Phillie*
and now rate in second place 15
percentage points back of the lead-
ers.
Jim Bottomley’s thirteenth home
run of the season with two on in
the 14th gave Bill McKechnie's clan
its 5 to 2 victory over the Dodgers.
That drive not only won the game
but It put him in a tie with Rogers
Hornsby for individual home run
honors.
The Reds fought hard to avert de-
feat at Philadelphia but failed by
the margin of a single run 8 to 7
in a free hitting contest. Don Hurst
new first sacker of the Phillies
clubbed his fourth homer in five
games.
The New York Giants subdued
Pittsburgh 9 to 1. Vic Aldridge
traded by Pittsburgh for Burleigh
Grimes allowed only six hits and
rapped out a home run and two sin-
gles and scored three runs.
With Hornsby under a five da>
suspension for his protest against
Umpire Pfirman's decision calling
him out on strikes the Boston Braves
proceeded to lose their seventh
straight game this time to the Cubs
5 to 4.
The New York Yankees lost their
11th contest of the season to St.
Louis 5 to 4 despite Babe Ruth’s
24th homer of the yea*. Otis Bran-
non's double with the bases filled in
the fifth was worth more in the
end than Ruth's round-trip blow
which came with one on.
The Philadelphia Athletics cut the
Yanks’ lead to eight and a half
games by pounding out an easy 12
to 5 verdict over the floundering
Indians at Cleveland.
Continuing their return to the
form expected of them before the
season started Washington made it
two in a row over Detroit 5 to 4 in
10 innings.
Danny MacFsyden came within two
innings of pitching a no-hit game as
the Boston Red Sox beat the White
Sox at Chicago 3 to 1. MacFayden
allowed no hits until McCurdy sin-
gled in the eighth. Three more hits
in the ninth sec red the White Sox'
only run. Regan's homer with Todt
on base in the fourth was the blow
that decided the issue.
The Giants have acquired Gene-
wich right-handed pitcher from the
Braves in trade for Barnes. Clark-
son and Cantwell pitchers and
Spohrer catcher.

NORTH TEXAS’
CHANCE SUM
IN FLAG RACE
Panthers Only Rival
To Buffs Have In-
dication of Cracking
Under Strain
(By The Associated Press)
Hopes of North Texas for a Texas
league pennant are growing dim as
the first half of the season grows
near and no consistently successful
challenger to the speeding Houston
Buffs appears.
For a time the Fort Worth Pan-
thers looked good enough to over-
haul the Buffs but under the strain
of a long race they show signs of
cracking. Friday they lost to Shreve-
port S to 10 and made their record
four straight defeats.
The Panthers lost no ground to the
league leaders however for Houston
dropped a game to San Antonio 3 to
4 largely as a result of Nason's
home run in the sixth inning with
a man on base and brilliant fielding
by the Bears.
Philbin supplied the fielding fea-
ture in the ninth inning when 'with
one down be leaped high to spear
Selph’s line drive and with a quick
throw doubled Powell off first base.
Wichita Falls celebrated the rais-
ing of her Texas league and Dixie
Series pennants by defeating Dallas.
4 to 3 by virtue of a lusty attack
that culminated in the ninth inning
with a one-run rally. To enable both
clubs to make better connections for
a South Texas trip Saturday's game
scheduled at Wichita Falls was
transferred to Dallas and the Spud-
ders were to play the role of home
team with its attendant profits in
box and reserved seats receipts.
Behind the great hurling of Cald-
well who allowed six safeties Waco
defeated Beaumont 6 to 1 in a game
featured by the hard hitting of
Swanson for the Exporters and
Johnson and Moore for Waco.
Father’s Day Is
To Be Observed
Here on Sunday
Announcements of special serv-
ices honoring Father’s Day Sunday
has been made by several churches
and other organizations.
The only group with definite ar-
rangements made was the Methodist
church. The evening services of
that church will feature a Father’s
Day program.
It is expected that the grea*:er part
of the honors paid will be done by
individuals or families. Father’s day
has been celebrated for several
years and is gradually growing into
a national institution and it is hoped
by its advocates to bring it on a
par with Mother’s Day in the fu-
ture.
Precedents set during previous
years call for gifts telegrams and
lettsrs but on a whole the day is
one composed of big heartedness to-
ward the bread winner at the helm
of the family.
The sentiment does not approach
that of Mother’s Day but is more
one of good fellowship and respect
expressed with appropriate gifts.

LOVE TOWARD us IN THAT i
1 WHILE WE WERE YET
SINNERS CMPIST DieD
POP US. ROMANS 5.8
j • •

By ALVIN E. BELL
What a shameful list of indigni-
ties this was they heaped upon Jesus
on that first Good Friday; the pur-
ple robe and crown of thorns the
smiting and spitting and buffeting
and reviling and finally the cross!
Crucifixion was the most cruel
method of execution ever devised
sometimes prolonging the agony of
the victim for days rntil life burn-
ed itself out in fever and thirst.
With Jesus it lasted but six hours
but during these hours his sonship
with God gave him no exemption
from any of its physical horrors.
When they offerc.l him the wine
mingled with myrrh to deaden the
pain he refused to drink it. He went
the limit in his suffering for us.
The Cross the Utmost of Spiritual
Suffering
Bitter and inexpressible as were
the physical sufferings of the cross
for Jesus these were the least part
of his anguish. The physical pain
was but the shadow of which his
spiritual cnguish >vss the real sub-
stance. The wages of sin is death—
spiritual as well as physical and
Jesus tasted both for us. This Is
the only adequate explanation of
that awful fourth »ord from the
cross. “My God. my God. why hast
thou forsaken me?" The worst thing
about hell and eternal death will
not be flames of fire ’ ut rather the
utter absence of Go '. And Jesus was
passing through this baptism of spir-
itual death this abandonment by his
j heavenly Father when he uttered
| that sob from a broker heart.
The Death of Jesus Supernatural
While the death of Jesus was in
a very real sense natural there is a
i sence in which it was supernatural.
His life was not worn out in ex-
haustion. He came to his death hour
with a mighty shcut of victory.
Mark cays “Jesus ?ri"d with a loud
vnice and gave up the ghost.” This
“loud voice” was the fifth word from
the cross recorded only by John. “It
is finished.” It was the triumphant
. —————
shout of one who knew he was con-
quering rather than being conquered.
After this shout he calmly gave up
his spirit to his Father saying. “Fa-
ther. into thy hands I commend my
spirit.” Thus he laid down his life
as he said he would: “I lay down
my life that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me. but I lay
it down myself. I have power to lay
it down and I have power to take
it again.” Other men die when they
must. Jesus died when his work
was finished. Though men killed him
on a cross in another sense they did
not take his life fiom him he gave
it up for them. Not nails but love
held him to the grots.
The Rent Veil
When Jesus said “It is finished.”
he meant that all sacrifice was made
for eternal atonement leaving no rea-
son for any harried between God
and the worshipper and as evidence
of his thus opening up the way to
full divine fellowship “the veil of
the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom.”
The First Fruits of the Cross
No sooner was the cross reared
than it began to bear its fruits first
in the penitant thief on the cross
and then in the Roman centurion in
charge of the execution who bore
his testimony in the words “Truly
this man was the Son of God.” To
this day the cross continues to bear
its fruit in fulfillment of Christ's
words “And I. if I be lifted up from
the earth will draw all men unto
me.” The cross is the “power of
God unto salvation to every one that
belicveth.”
(The Internationa! Uniform lesson
for June 17 is Mark 15:16-47 the
subject being “The Crucifixion” and
the Golden Text. Romans. 5:8 “God
commendeth his own love toward us
in that while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us.”)
