ferson PLAYED the third station for the
Solons like a veteran He made flVe
trims to the plate, hit two singles and
a sacrifice and reached first IN the
eighth when McNulty spilled his short
M to center field. AS a third sacker.
Peterson handled six chances without
an error, having five assists and one
putout to his credit For the present,
at least, Peterson has regular job
Yesterday was a busy day for the
two centerfielders. Hahn and McNulty
each getting six putouts- Some or the
catches were of a sensational kind.
Hahn also got an assist when ne
threw to Peterson and retired run
ner. while McNulty was charged with
one error Each outfield had nine
putouts.
CoffeyviIIe made two earned runs,
had six men left on bases and hit for
a total of eleven bases Topeka scored
three earned runs. had twelve men
left OF the path, and hit for twelve
bases. With the exception of Strohm's
double in the fourth inning, all of the
Topeka hits were singles
For the first time this season Rose
went thru a game without making a
least one safe blow He made five
trips to the plate yesterday but the
best he could do was to send McNulty
back for three long 9lies, advance
Hahn in the fifth inning with a sacri-
flee, and hit to the infield for an easy
out But Rose. who is leading the
league in biting, has not vet been
famed.

also be an Indian, any way that name |
sounds a little suspicious.

In speaking of the crucifxIon of
Christ, Mr.. Meyer said: "Cruci-
fied-what a world OF misery does
this single word convey! Our
blood runs cold when we see any
one hurt in an accident and be-
hold the blood streaming from him
and hear his shrIeks and groans.
Now our dear Savior was nailed
to the cross; spikes were driven
through his hands and feet into
the wood. What pains must He
have endured! Since olden times
the Passion Play has been per-
formed in the village Of oberarn-
mergau in Bavaria. The strongest
man who acts the part of Christ,
We are told, Is merely tied on the
cross and his feet rest on a pro-
iecting piece Of wood, but he can
not remain in this hanging posi-
ton longer than twenty minutes
without fainting. What then must
have been tho sufferings Of our
Lord hanging on the cross for six
hours!
"our transgressions shall no
longer be laid to our charge, be-
cause Christ has atoned for them
with his holy precious blood. Let
us thank our kind and merciful
Savior, let US appropriate to our
selves what He did for us in His
unbounded love, let us believe In
Him with an honest heart, let US
not sin willingly and thereby cru
city Him anew, but strive to walk
in His commandments, let US love
Him, for He hath first loved u.s."
