be quartered at a hotel near the park
and also will take final workout,

already are familiar with the fields
peculiarities. The Red Sox, If they
arrive from Boston in time, will take
their final practice after the Cubs
have finished. Otherwise Manager
Barrow probably will send his players

sold before tomorrow night. The

I will say unto him, Father, l have

Luke 18th chapter 11th verse.
The father had two sons. The
younger had desire to have his por-
ton of his fathers property. He
wanted to go to a far off country to
live, so his father gave him his por
ton. Then he went to a foreign coun-
try. After sometime there came a
famine and he had spent all Of his
money he decided be would hire him
self to citizen Of that country. On
his way to feed the swine, he was
hungry, and ate the husks OF corn in
tended for the swine. He said, "How
much bread my father has, that l
could eat of. I would be willing to
be one Of his servants so will go back
home and tell my father have sinned
against heaven and before him, that
I am not worthy to be called his son,
but I'll be one of his servants. He
started for home. Coming down the
road, his father saw him. He was ex-
ceedingly glad, for the piece of silver
was found. He went to meet his son
and kissed him. His son with sorrow
said, II have sinned against heaven
and before thee, I am not worthy to
be called thy son." His father called
his servants to bring the best robe for
his son and then called for the fatted
calf, to have a feast for him, 'for
my son was dead, now alive; lost and
| now found. Eat and be merry" His
elder son, being in anger Of this feast.

"Son, thou art ever with me. I will
give thee my things. I made this
feast because my son that was lost is

likewise will our Father in HEAVIER,
