Staff photo by Greg Gammon United Press International KENT, Ohio — Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker Jack Lambert said Tuesday he expects the NFL Players Association to call a strike next summer, but he would “cross the picket lines” if the walkout is based on the issues now being dis cussed by the union. The contract between the club owners and the union expires July 15, 1982 and the union already is taking a militant stance. NFLPA Executive Director Ed Garvey is asking for a wage scale based on years of service and 55 percent of the league’s gross re venues. “I will not strike and I will cross the picket lines if a strike is called by the NFLPA based on those issues,” Lambert said in a tele phone interview with reporters at the Cleveland Browns’ training camp. Lambert thinks the union would do better to seek a change in free-agent rules, much like baseball players enjoy. “I am much more concerned with our freedom, the opportunity to move from one team to another,” he said. “There is so much money being made and the players deserve their share.” However, Garvey’s demand for 55 percent of the revenues is “tot ally against the American free en terprise system,” Lambert said. “Ed Garvey is in the wrong country.” Lambert’s concern about move ment of free agents is understand able. He is in the final year of his contract with the Steelers and if he does not sign he will become a free agent Feb. 1, 1982. But unlike baseball, football teams who lose such players are compensated with draft choices based on the free agent’s salary, choices ever make it to the majors. Baseball teams also were compen- The Browns and Steelers will sated with draft choices under the meet in Cleveland Saturday night old contract, but few baseball draft in a pre-season game.

The Phi ladelphia Phillies’ veteran will set a record with his fifth All-Star position — first base — Sunday. Then he will try to set a National League mark with his 3,631st hit when the regular-season resumes Monday. Rose has been tied with Stan Musial for the all-time hit record since June 10. And if he sets the record Monday, it will come against Musial’s old team, the St. Louis Cardinals. Rose previously had been selected for All-Star Games at second base, third base, left and right field. He will be joined by two first-time starters — catcher Gary Carter and outfielder Andre Dawson, both of Montreal. Former starters named to the lineup are second baseman Dave Lopes of Los Angeles, shortstop Dave Concepcion of Cincinnati, third baseman Mike Schmidt of Philadelphia and outfielders George Foster of Cincinnati and Dave Parker of Pittsburgh. In the AL, California’s Rod Carew, the all-time leading vote- getter, was named to the starting lineup for the 12th consecutive year. Carew, whose 784,354 votes this year put his career total over the 27 million mark, will make his sixth straight start at first base af ter six consecutive years as the league’s All-Star second baseman. Four New York Yankees — second baseman Willie Randolph, shortstop Bucky Dent and outfiel ders Reggie Jackson and Dave Winfield — join Carew in the starting lineup along with Chicago catcher Carlton Fisk, Kansas City third baseman George Brett and Baltimore outfielder Ken Sing leton. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announced Tuesday Vice Presi dent George Bush will throw out the first ball for the 52nd All-Star Game in Cleveland, where the first indications of the fans’ feel ings will be seen. Only about 3 million fans voted for the All-Star teams, about one-fourth of what it would have been without a strike. Before voting on how to resume the season, the owners must first vote to ratify the agreement which ended the seven-week walkout that canceled 38 percent of the season. Player representatives unanimously approved the strike settlement in Chicago Saturday. "Famous Amos!” Appearing LIVE Thursday Night College Malm Cover *1.00 ents SOMEONE WAS WATCHING As I looked out of my window at the countryside, drinking in its loveliness in the setting sun, my eyes fell upon them—and were held by them. Why did they affect me so much? They were such delicate things, so frail and so pitiful. Here it was almost nightfall vhen all living things should be preparing for sleep. And yet, there by my fence, these tiny sparrows were eating some left-over rumbs. But why, sparrows, do you eat now, of all times, at nightfall... ? How hungry they must be, to be eating so late, even into he night. As I watched them pecking at the crumbs, it occurred to me—they were eating now only because there had been no food for them diet—and soon, what they were eating now would be all gone. As I thought of the many night they must have gone to sleep with the hunger still gnawing at them, something inside me made me get up to get more bread for them. But as I approached, the birds were frightened, and in a flutter of wings, they were gone. No! No! I don’t mean to hurt you. Sparrows, how can I let you know? I only want to give you the food that you need. How can I lake you understand? Such small creatures as yourselves—your own fellows you understand, and they you. You share in each other the same frail life. You can fly together, speak together, hunger together. These things I can really have no part in. To you I am just a itrange being you can neither comprehend nor trust. Oh, if only I were a sparrow—a sparrow just like you are. . .then you wouldn’t be frightened, you wouldn’t fly away from me. Then you would understand. Pondering, in my bewilderment, I saw something. Thousands of years ago, someone was watching man in much the same way. And even as He watched man, He loved man very nuch. Deep within Him was the desire to be close to man. Even more than being close, He desired to be one with man. Man, on the one hand, is like a sparrow: so frail, so hungry, so powerless to help himself—eating when he should be resting, at est when he should be eating; hungering more after what crumbs of temporary happiness and fulfillment he can find. And the nevitable nights of desiring more, something more, deeper... And the One, on the other hand, Himself the fulfillment of all man’s desires, was so willing, so wanting to love man and fill man. Yet in all His vastness, man just couldn’t comprehend Him. And what man could not understand, he only feared. There was only one way. He—the God of the whole universe—must Himself become a man. The very God, the Almighty God, has become flesh. “The Word became flesh” (John 1:14). Who is the Word? The God who created everything. This Word, God the Creator, has become flesh. Why did He become flesh? Simply that He might be the same as we are. We are men of blood and flesh, and Christ partook of the same (Heb. 2:14-18). He became a human being sharing in our blood and flesh. God came in the flesh not to command us to do something, but to be one with us. He did not come as God to rescue us for that would have terrified us. He did not come as an angel to embrace us, for we could not have accepted that. Although Christ is God, He came, in reality, just as we are. There is no need for you to fly away from Him like a frightened sparrow. Come! Enjoy Him freely! “THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST.. . 6:00 P.M.
