Here two hours were spent in devotional exercises. until about five o'clock when the passage from the gospel relating to how the children carrying branches and palms met the Lord, saying, Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord," was read, following which the procession dispersed amid shouts of 'Hosannah to the Son of David"
 Palms blest on Palm Sunday and carried in the processions were later taken home by the faithful and used for devotional purposes. In the Chris tian churches where Ash Wednesday is observed at the beginning of the Lenten season, the ashes with which the sign of the cross is made upon the foreheads of the devout by the of- ciating priests is secured from the burning of palm branches which were blest on the preceding Palm Sunday.

Palm Has Been Token of Victory Among Christians for Centuries

What is this day which in the cal. cndar Of civilization, even among those who confess to no religious be- liefs. is known throughout Christen- dom as Palm Sunday?

Riding down into Jerusalem on this fateful day IS cen turies since, mounted on the humblest of all the beasts of burden-symboli- cal of the meekness and simplicity of the doctrine which he preached Jesus of Nazareth was met by the throngs which had already accepted him, who strewed his path with palm branches crying: "Hosannah to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!" And thus stamped the day--Paim Sunday-which marked the begin ming of the end of his remarkab ble mission on earth and was to lead, five days later, to the tragedy of Golgotha.

 Because of the drive for record attendance on Easter morning and the movement to have all members attend some other church service, it has been decided to have the Easter session of Everyman's Bible class open at 9:15 o'clock that morning and stop promptly at 10:15 o'clock. This is to give the men time to join their families in other services.

YANKS ARE DUE
FOR A SLUMP
IN CHASE
However, This Will Merely Add
Some Spice and Pep to
One-sided Race.
By DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Aug. perhaps.
as the boys insist, only a modern
miracle can prevent the New York
Yankees from cake-walking to the
pennant by eight games or more.
With a margin of twelve and one
half games to work on, the patient
might be said to be resting easily
this morning, after having spent a
comfortable night but
The Yanks are due for a slump
in the immediate future as sure as
the Almighty made them small,
round, and sometimes sour. When
that moment arrives, the rally will
become a relapse without further
notice and the situation in the
American League will be less of
procession and more Of a race.
In fact and fable, the hare al
ways rests after its lead becomes
too long to sustain it's vagrant at
tention. Ball clubs have something
in common with the hare. There
is always a let-down with the best
and the worst of them and the
Yankees are due.
The law Of averages Is all
against the Higgins entry continu-
ing at it's present pace for the re-
mainder of the season. No club,
however great, can hope to win
seven out of every ten games 1t
plays in a major league, unless the
competition is very much declasse.
We doubt that this applies to the
American League, appearance to
the contrary.
The Cleveland Indians. for ex-
ample, are quite bail cuba

The Tigers also should improve

Bush Baseball Is Due
For New Name Out
On Pacific

LOS ANGELES, Aug. q
The term "bush baseball" will
soon be no fit nickname for the
game in southern California
semi-pro ranks if the local
managers continue to use coast
and major league tactics in
meeting their problems.
The latest event in which the
semi-pros resorted to the prac-
tice Of organized ball was when
Manager Carlton, of the Holly
wood team, was fined $50 for
taking his team to San Diego
for a game instead of playing
a scheduled contest with Saw
tella.
Quite a sum when you take
it out of the gate receipts of
semi-pro game. Carleton will
be given thirty days in which
to pay the fine, after which
time he will not be given games
if the debt is not closed.
