Weatherford, pastor evangslln, drew his text from Luke 13-1S: rrake heed and beware of covetousjiess; for a man's life con alsteth not In the abundance of the things walch he poaaesaeth." "Life in Its proper setting Is the posaeesloii of a power to be used for Qod, o tliers and himself. We are co-laborers in the outworking , of God's plan for the world." "Christianity repudiates the pagan Idea of ownership, it recognizes pos sesions ns a manifestation of confi dence from the great Sovereign owner af all. Man does not own himself. He Is a subject of divine ownership and la amenable to Him for the uae to which he puts his life, Including his mental powers, physical strength, skill, time and money." "When a man takea the attitude that '1 own all the concentrated powers of my personality or. In other words, 'I own what I possess', he literally denies the Sovereignty of Qod. Life to him becomes a self. centered scramble and covetouaneas the dominating factor and Incentive for living. This attitude toward lite receives a broadside rebuke from Qod He said 'Beware of oovetousness for a man's life conslsteth not In (possessions)'." "The lesson Christ said 'beware avoid tho cultivation of life in an atmosphere of oovetousness, was from the fact that life springing from the routs of this soli Is motivated by a wrong conception: for life cannot be motivated by these Ideals and ulti mately arrive at Life's supreme objec tive at home with Ood." "Let not the Materialist think to say '1 have a large bank balance, therefore I shall not want,' lor that can only be said by him who has the Lord for his shepherd. The msn who trusts in his bank account should be reminded of tha man wbo went to hell leaving his possessions and lifted up his eves In torments. This Is the picture of the man who because he refused to till his lite with the full new of Ood, filled It by the hands of covetouaneas." "May I exhort you today to let a greater love displaoe that of the creature's love and a nobler affection supersede the earthly Man was or dained by the primal law of creation to hunger and thirst (or Ood and that insatiable desire csnnot flno a resting place until he knows Ood as his Personal Saviour." "That thing which costs us nothing In surrender to Ood, will prolit us nothing In the forgiveness of sins. Contrsslon and "enunciation ol t.".e slnlul life a:e essentisl to the tecres tion ot Ilia by Ood through Jesus Christ" j The mack necret (above) races Bert Lyons, Joplln Ghost, In the main grappling event at the armory tonight. Only one man, Cowhov Dune Chick, has been able to defeat the hooded horror In the local arena, and he claims Lvons won't be another.

Sand In t CtiMinltlr SEATTLE. May 23. (AP) Two young men found mndlot baseball hazardous yesterday. Edward Run nels. 25. and Howard Bnrtell, 28. suf fered broken legs while playing with pickup trams. One Hfg Inning Medford tallied all Its runs In one big Inning the sixth when Dick Lewis blasted a line-drive triple to deep centcrfield with the basct, loaded, nnd scored himself on Cliff McLean's long fly to PramstM In centcrfield. Brown started the game-winning rally himself, singling with none away. Sakralda drew a base on balls and the bases were loaded when Manager Rlckert reached first on second baseman Matron's error. LewU then smashed his t.iree-play wallop and Brown, SnkKiida and Rlckert dented tho plate. Alter McLean filed out to Framsted, scoring Lewis, Col vert skied out and Ager grounded out to end the inning. Crescent City's two lone singles off Brown, by Pitcher Koll in the third and Spann In the fourth, went for naught as the Craters turned In two more of their copyrighted and spec tacular double killings. With one out In the third, Koll got a scratch Infield snfety. Matson followed with a roller to Brown in the box, and the hurler snagsed It, threw to Lewis on second forcing Koll, and Lewis fired to Tommy White on first to beat Matson. In the fourth, Spann singled ai:arply to left, but Arba Ager grabbed Miller's drive down the third base line, lined the ball to Rlckert on second and the Crater manager relayed It to first for the double killing. Koll Kffectlve With the exception of the sixth Inning, Medford had plenty of troa ble with Lofty Mike Koll, league- leadltig pitcher Inst season and con sldcrcd. until yesterday, the best hurler in the circuit. Koll allowed only six hits, f mined four and issued two wnlks. Hoffard tripled in the seventh and Rlckert, McLean and White obtained the other Crater bnso knocks. The Craters played errorless base ball behind their brilliant lefthander and Crescent City booted the bnll only twice. The grime was played In ono hour and 30 minutes beforo one of tt:e largest crowds to ever nttena an encounter in the coast city. Box score: .Medford AB. R.

This tryout camp of Durham and Cincinnati (Durham la a farm team of the major lsague club) la an annual affair, and each year draws promising rookies with the urge to make professional baseball their life work. Last season It was held In Bend, and the year before here in Medford. It was during the Medford camp that Paul Oehrinan, big right handed hurler from Bend, was dis covered. He was taken to Durham last season, enjoyed a great year, wousd up the season with Cincin nati, and this campaign will do his chucking for Minneapolis In the American Association, a clouble-A class league. That's a mighty leap for a boy who two years ago was pitching bush baseball in the Ore gon State circuit, and he is subject to recall by Cincinnati at any time, they having plenty of strings st tached to him. Mickey Shader. one of the best known ivory hunters In the game, will again be In charge of the camp, and he will have lots of help in conducting the trials from a com petent staff of assistants. Players will receive excellent coaching, the kind that brings out brilliance If there is any to bring out, and every one will recelvo an equal chance to show what he's got, If anything. Thla will be the lone camp to be held In Oregon. Starting in August, the Reds and Durham will hold simi lar trials In Butte, Mont., Salt Lake City, Lewlston, Idaho, Renton. Olym- pla. Vancouver and Spokane, Wash., Jump here to Medford, then move into California for a series of camps In Berkeley, San Bernardino, Santa Monica,- Petaluma and Stockton.

BAN FRANCISCO, May 33. (yp) If the Oakland Acorns, In last tjlace In the Pacific Coast baseball league, had a pitching staff of expectant fathera they might be in first place.
