It is estimated that Pncle Sam vvill not be mnch greater than 121,000.000. Even L the increase will be 14.6 cen t over the tye 1920 fig- ireS as compared with the 14.9 „ e r cent increase in the 1920 census and a 21 percent over the 1910 census' Immigration re- strictions and declining birth ra te are responsible for the Iow increase.

Fasisti Brutalize the Slovenes Lodge Spartans to Give Dance With Unusual Name If there vvas nothing elsg, un¬ usual about the forthcoming dance vvhich the Spartans are staging next Saturday evening at the Slovene National Home the name itself would be unus¬ ual enough. According to the dictionary the name signified something elaborate done in silver and white. That they are going to have an elaborate affair they are guaranteeing vvith ali the work they are putting into the dance their firk in the coming eeason. 4 Unusual already are the tick- ets vvhich are printed in a silver paper bearing a picture of an old Greek vvarrior knovvn as the Spartan. Jack Horvvitz and his Collegians will be on hand to deal out the catching rhythm and supply the stimulus for the dance. That is another unusual feaurte of the dance. Spartan Hospitality plus the other unusual features which are planned should make the Spartan dance one of the bright hits of the winter season. SLOVENE ARTIST GETS EX- TENSION OF VISA h Syracuse, N.

The first has been the prohibition of the use of Slovene and the exclusive use of the Italian in schools and in daily life. The Italianization has gone so far that ali the Chris¬ tian or given names have been translated into the Italian. In those parts the Slovene names have ali disappeared and been substituted with names such as Francesco and Frančišek, Gio- vanno for Ivan, much to the ire and the dissatisfaction of the people affected The latest out- rage was the execution of four Slovenes of Trieste and the im- prisoning scores of others many of whom are vvomen. The rea- son for the executions was pure- ly political and for crimes which the young men are in ali prob- ability not guilty at ali The Italian government wanted the blood of someone for the com- mitted crimes and the four vvho were executed in the early p m t of this month before a military tribunal and the sentences given on circumstancial evide n c e alone. The execution of the four pa- triots has caused considerable comment in Europe where the methods and the brutalities of the Fasist government against the Slovenes is known The same sort of treatment is being given to other nationalities under the Fasist rule. _ Next Sunday’s meeting will be the first puhlic meeting and the Slovenes of Cleveland expending ali their efforts Božidar Jakac who has been staying here for the past year and who has had an exhi5rtion of his art at the Slovene Nation¬ al Home on St. Clair avenue re- ports that he has been granted an extension of his viša to this c.ountry.

Representatives to the Con« Slovene Opera Starš to Sing for Columbia Records If plans that are being made now vvill eventually be realized the Slovene people vvill not be forsed to vvait a vvhole year to hear the Slovene opera stars in the fall of the year on the oc¬ casion of the yearly presenta- tion of the opera but they vvill be able to hear their voices anytime- that they wish to hear them. The plan as has been an- nounced a few days ago includes the making of Columbia records featuring the Slovene artists of Zarja singing club. The offer to sing for the rec¬ ords will be accepted and the stars will leave for the record- ings in New York or Chicago sometime in the latter part of the month of October. The ar¬ tists who will be heard on rec- ord are Louis Belle, Frank Plut and Mrs. Mary Ivanush. Since the success of the opera in the National home and at the Musič Hall of the Public Auditorium there have been many requests made for the ap- pearance of the records and it is only this year that the wish- es of those who are anxious to hear them will be fulfilled. What the artists \vill sing for the records has not been an- nounced yet and no definite plan ( has been announed.

Al- MARRIAGE CEREMONY though this is the first like af- solidated Societies for the Nev? fair held b y this Srouv, ali pre Last Sunday evening Mr. Sve¬ tozar Banovec sang his farewell concert to the Cleveland audi- ences before a large crowd of adfnirers of the Slovene song. The farewell concert was vei'y interesting not only because ot the circumstances but also be¬ cause it contained unusual features. It included in the first part the songs and compositions of Mr. Ivan Zorman succeeded by two scenes from the opera Manon and follovved by the third part consisting of Slovene folk songs. Mr. Zorman’s Songs Prove Popular “Mr. Zorman’s songs were so popular as they were sung by Mr. Svetozar Banovec last Sun- day that some of them had to be repeated in encore. Espeeial- ly well received were the “Pom lad” and the “Pesem Starca” w'hich had in them a touch of the dramatic Mr. Banovec, of course, is best in any song in vvhich he can give a dramatic touch. Particularly patheti c, however, was the opening song “Ladje Bele” and “Nekje v Franciji” a song of yearning for the sweetheart who went away to wiar with a sad feeling of farewell never more to return except to be a haunting memory to the sweetheart who lay in the cool grave of Flanders Field. Many of Those Registered Have Been Students in the Junior Division During the Past Year NOT TOO LATE TO ENROLL Classes Starting Friday Will .

Congratulations! Church: Francis M. Surtz arid Anthony Fortuna. In conjunction vvith the an- nual meeting was also the first meeting of the “Orels” as an incorporated organization knovvn as “Thq Ameriški Slovenski Orel, Inc.” The primary purpose of this organization has always been and vvill be to cultivate the duty of the young people to the Cath- olic Church and the Slovene na- tionality. For this purpose there are the various divisions of gymnastics, dramaties, orches- tra, singing and sports. The Slo¬ vene language is used vvith En- glish translations. The entertainment is taken čare of by holding a special dance and card games follovvjng the monthly sessions every thjrd Thursday of the month. To become a member of this Progressive group it is necessary to turn in the name of the cjn- didate to one of the officers. If the candidate is approved by the committee on memibership, he vvill be duly notified of his ac- ceptance. arrangements indicate that it vvill be one of the best ever held. Those who vvish to get their tickets in advance may get them at the Office of the Cleveland Journal. FOURTH ANNIYERSARY More than twenty four names vvere entered in the books of the Slovene school vvhen the en- rollment vvas held last Friday evening at the Slovene National Home. The most encouraging part of the names that vvere en- rolled is the fact that they are mostly names of fnevv-comers, that is, pupils vvjho vvere not identified vvith the school in former years. From that it is almost certain that the figures vvill reach a much greater nuim ber than that because ali of the pupils who have attended* £he classes last year have not yet enrolled very probably they in- tend to enroll during the com¬ ing vveek or on Friday evening vvhen the classes vvill have been started. It. is interesting to note that there vvere some vvho came to the National Home Friday vvho vvere too late to enter names on the official roster. They no doubt vvill svvell the roster more fully than the number indica ted above. Also interesting in the list of names is the fact that many of them are names of those vvho attepded the Junior division of the rchool. ■The Loyalites vvill celebrate their fourth anniversary on Oc¬ tober 5th vvith a big harvest dance to be held at the Slovene Home on Holmes Ave. The en¬ tertainment committee vvith a marked reeord such as can be boasted of by the best of organ- izations, vvill at this occasion put forth its utmost to make the fourth anniversary celebration the biggest of the Loyalite af- fairs. The attraetion of the eve¬ ning vvill be a “Prize Waliz” vvhich vvill be danced to the tunes of the Arcadian Melody Pilots. are to have a large crovvd of people attend so that some definite ac- tion can be decided. CARD PARTY ENAKOPRAVNOST EDITOR IS PROUD FATHER The Young Ladies’ Sodality of St. Mary’s Church of Holmes avenue vvill hobfc a card party and dance on Saturday, October 4th at the Northeast Y. W. C. A. on 152nd St. Admission vvill be only 50 cents. The hostesses for the evening vvill be the Miss- es Josephine Bernot, Marie Ray- er and Josephine Zalar. Bill Miller’s orchestra vvill furnish the melodies for dancing. Last Thursday afternoon the editor of the “Enakopravnost”, Vatro Grili received a message over the telephone that made him at once vvorried and at the same time proud. The content of the message vvas that he can claim to be a father of a nine- pound baby vvhich vvas born on Thursday afternoon. The moth¬ er and baby are doing vvell. According to the latest advice received the baby vvill be knovvn as Edvvin Vatro. May the son follovv the steps of his dad. Miss Perdan and Mr. Truger Help in Opera Scenes The second part because of its effects and the implication of the nevv scenes and the assis- tance of Miss Jeanette Perdan and Mr. Louis Truger and the special lighting effect vvere pos- sibly the most impressive scenes of the evening. It vvas in these scenes from the second and the third acts of Massanefs Manon that Svetozar Banovec shovved himself and his artistry at his best. The second act vvith the minor part but important part of “Manon” played by Miss J. Perdan vvas very shovvy and vvas impressive for its move- ment. It vvas an evening in vvhich the opera singer vvas capably supported by the character vvhich in that particular sejne vvas a minor character. In the third act vvith the monastary scene and the soliloquey of Des Grieux as a monk vvere very i.n- pressive because of the novelty of the scene and the manner in vvhich the vvhole vvas dipietod vvith the intensive and culmina, ting interest vvhich made ene vvish that the scenes of the oj> era vvould have continued on and on to see the final concluaion of the opera. In this scene Mr. Banovec vvas supported by the help of Mr. Louis Truger vvho portrayed the part of Count«. Des Grieux the father of Des Grieux, the monk. . The third part because of its- Insitructions - tted to the j Študent There is no doubt that there are many vvho are somevvhat timid in coming to the Slovene school because they think it is too much for them or that the instructions vvill be so advanced that they vvill not be able to keep up vvith the subject matter that vvill be taken in the classes. To that objection the proposed method of instruction especially in the elementary class should be dispelled because the course vvill consist of the phonetic sys- tem of instruction in vvhich the basis vvill be the talking and pronounciation in the correct Slovene, based upon the alpha- bet. Mr. Louis Truger the in- strcutor of the elementary class has studied under that system under the most capable of teach- ers in Europe, vvill introduce the system into the Slovene school and it vvill vvork vvell vvith Che co-operation of the students themselves. The elementary course will have a cbunterpart in the sys- tem of instruction of foreign languages in the public high schools. The success there should be a vvarrant that the system is good and successful. The sec¬ ond class vvhich is under the in- struetorship of Mr. Varto Gvill vvill be a prolohgation of the matter that bas been taken in the first course. There vvill be more advanced matter but the system vvill be the same. familiarily and popularity im- mediately štručk a responsive chord in the audience because Three Month Semester« Advantage Added to these features is the reorganization of the school in they knovv the songs and sang | such a manner that the semes- (Continued on page four) (Continued on page four).

The story ap- pears in this column because it is an editorial in itself. 3LEVELAND, OHIO, THURSD AY, SEPTEMBER 25th, 1930 m • 4 IT IS PRACTICAL Ex LiWs Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Library. The large passenger boat was plying between Buf falo and Detroit with ali the hands at their work doing '-the routine of the boat’s duties. The Radio operator was -sitting at his instruments doing his work of radio com- munication when suddenly there was a timid knock on the door of the compartment and a timid man entered. The radio operator after the manner of his sort greeted the man asked what could be done for his comfort The answer was in very broken and imperfect English that the man wished to send a radio message The (|estination and the content of the message was somethmg that the radio operator could not make out after the laborous effort of the man to explain. The radio operator had another idea—could the man speak any other language? Upon asking in a very broken German the radio operator found that the man was a Unguist and started to talk using one language after the jther. After using the German, French, Spanish he finally hit upon speaking the Slovene. The radio opera¬ tor, who was a Slovene himself then took up the conver- sation in the Slovene and the outcome of the meeting and the short' dialogue was that the timid man was the president of the association of Physicians and Surgeons in Vienna making an extended trip through the United States. The particular thing that he wanted from the radio operator was that a radiogram be sent to his wife in Europe upon her birthdate and appropriate greetings be sent to her. After the official business waa done the Doctor visited \vith the radio operator for more thari an hour after which he expressed his surprise and delight that in such a distant country he should find someone in Public Service who could do him the greatest Service and with the aid of one of the minor languages in Europe. As a Two biographies recently ac- quired by the librafy should prove to be of especial interest to St. Clair Library patrons. The first of these “A Son of the Forests” is an auto-biography of James Oliver Curvvood, the very popular author of so many stories of the Great Northvvost. Mr. Curvvood lived most of his life in Ovvosso, Michigan. To-day the Curvvood family home is the show plače of the little town ot Ovvosso. The material used in a great many of Curwood’s stories comes from the old lum- ber regions in Northvvest Mich¬ igan. Here at one time vvas ali the lavvlessness and romance of the lumber camps. Curvvooo thoroughly knovvs his subject and has given some very excell- ent pictures of old lumberiug days in his stories. ates. The stage seems to hold a lure for the average person and here is a chance to see some real stage life as lived by the actors. “Old Ironsides” Rebuilt The other biography, “My life is in your hands” is that of Ed- die Cantor, one of America’s great comedians. This story shovvs a picture of the singing comedian’s life, his early days spent vvith a devoteJ old Russian grandmother vvere lived mostly on the streets of Nevv York. This afforded Kini a rather doubtful education vvfich he later turns to good account on the stage. The book is full of interesting bits about Can- tor’s stage friends and-assoei- Among the late novels is “Prosperity Street” by BarM)y Brook. This is the story of an ambitious boy who becomes Prime Minister of England. It shovvs the changes vvrought in his character by the severities of a diplomatic eareer. With his success comes money, and social prestige, and finally, a clever un- derstanding vvdfe. Anyone who likes a story dealing vvith diplo¬ matic life and intrigue vvould thoroughly enjoy Prosperity Street. The “Field of Honor” by Donn Byrne is an historical nov¬ el of the English side of the Na- poleonic wars, the events lead- ing up to Trafalgar and up to the defeat of Napoleon at Wat- erloo. Tvvo of the principal char¬ acters are Napoleon and ‘Bloody Castlereagh’, the British Minis¬ ter of War. A thread of romance runs through the great histori¬ cal events taking pUce at .this time. This makes the histori¬ cal evettts more-trealistic and ro* mantic. Those vvho have rcad Donn Byrne’s other books are vvell acquainted vvith his talent for valiant colo.rful prose. There is no longer any ques- tion about it. “Old Ironsides” will again sail the seas. The famous Constitution has once more defied the tooth of time and vvill share the vvaves vvith the latest oil-lburning, electri- cally driven liners. This vvas assured vvheh President Hoover signed the bili appropriating $300,000 to finish the restora- the fore hold tion. It vvas in 1925 that Congress authorized the Navy Depart¬ ment to restore the Constitution again. But no money vvas ap- propriated for it. The navy vvas merely authorized to accept money if and vvhen it vvas offer- ed. Rear Admiral Andrevv, commandant of the Boston Navy Yard, took the lead in collection. He got the aid of the Elks, thru vvhom some 5,000,000 school children turned in $175,000 in penny contributions. Šale of colored reproductions of the pic- ture of the famous old fighting ship brought another $160,000, vvhile souvenirs made from the original metal and timber of the boat netted about the same am- ount. There vvere also cbntribu*- tions by individuals. In ali, the collections amounted to $645,000 vvhich vvith the $300,000 appro- priation brings the total of $945- 0C0. The original cost 133 years ago vvas $302,718. It may seem a simple thing for a modern mavy yard to take an old ship of this -sort and re- condition it, or rebiuld it. But the task vvas anything but sim¬ ple. Al! our navv yards ai'e epuipped to deal vvith-Steel ships only. Their vvere neither ma- terials nor tools for the vvork, nor did the navy yard at Boston have any vvorkmen vvith the least experience along this line. The hull vvas in such a state of decay that it could not be put in a regular dry dock. Here is the way this problem vvas solved, as related in the House of Repre- sentatives by Mr. Underhill of Massachusetts: A special docking plan vvas prepared at the Boston Navy Yard, shovving a method of in¬ terna! shoring. The ship having an excess vveight over buoyancy at the tvvo ends, approximately 150 tons of ballast vvas placed in . A pyramind of timbers vvas built on the špar deck 12 feet high, over vvhich heavy steel cables passed, lead- ing through the starboard and port havvse pipes, over the top of the pyramind, and ^xtending aft to ; heavy cross timbers lo- cated belovv the line of the gun deck. These cables vvere hove taut by the use of unusually large turnbuckles, as the vessel settled over the blocks, in order to support the ends of the ship: Additional cables vvere passed entirely around the ship at the line of the gun-deck ports, being also hove up by the use of turn¬ buckles. Numerous transverse steel cables crossed the gun deck to the main cable that passed around the ship, the object being to prevent spreading of the ship as it landed on the blocks. An espeeially designed crib- work, 80 feet long and 9 feet high, vvas built into the bottom of the dock and countervveighted by metal ballast. Upon this cribvvork there vvere installed 13 transverse launch vvays. Up¬ on this vvas built a continuous cradle 78 feet long on each side of the ship, vvhich vvas calcula- ted to represeut the final shape uf the -hull, 14 feet. 6 inches off tke cradles, vvere greased, and at the ends of the cradles a longi- tudinal adjustable block vvas fit- ted that vvould vvork in a fore- crepancies vvhich vvould due to any slight er ror J Cc,lt cradle properly adjusti ng . to the underside of the ship Many sections of the contributed material. of thj ■C" 11 live oak from Florida • vthu got ’ hlte -oak planking from Southern and West Virginia; m0 r e 400 vvhite oak knee s vv^? tained from, Delevvare; D 0 °“' fir for deck beams, m asts Uglas spars from Washington and? egon; yellovv pine for sp ar planking from Georgia, other sections furnishe' “ le copper, forth. hemp, oakum Jed and lr on, Whether or not the old s v will be as staunch as she Z 1 * vvhen turned out by the e? builders remins to be seen . 1 lat ap Vk 1 193C CLEVELAND JOURNAL JOURNAL HEINIE MARTIN lOYALITES WIN FIRST GAME, 10 - 9 Hlakovic Pitches Perfect Same in Pioneers’ Victory pBATlNG ETNA, PA.

Makovic štručk out 26 men and did not permit one pla/er to reach first base. His control was perfect; striking out 22 men in a row and retiring the first 4 batsmen with but 12 pitched balls.

CARROLL U FOOTBALL ANOTHER CLEVELANDER' TO BE FARMED OUT J°hnny Suvak star catcher for ;i . e Rotbart Jewelers has 'bven •Jgned by the Detroit Tigesrs ;' n d will report in spring to the *^ ers farm at Raieigh, N. C. , Raieigh is in the Piedmont le ague. Ali the home games of tbe John Carroll University football team will be played at the Luna Stadium, Friday nights, begin- ning at 8:15 P. M. Five of Yerse’s walks figured in the scoring of five runs. * After Tekavec had doubled in the ninth, Habian follovved with another double to Murphy whc sailed the sphere to Grzyabow- ski. The latter whipped the bali to third to nail Habian but lefty pulled a pretty slide smartly evading Kuhel he vamly at- tempted to touch him. The S. D. Z. boys fcicked in vvith seven doubles. Their op¬ ponents smacked out three twc baggers and one triple. Sunday's game was just like a big league bali game; foul lines marked off; score cardS by the hundred, ‘kids’ selling ehevv- ing gum, popcorn, ice hream and soft drinks. f V. -f Betvveen three and four thou¬ sand fans witnessed the hectic jamboree vvhich was packed with plenty of thrills and exerted more nervous energy on the part of spectators than a week of hard labor. Boy! It must have been thrill- ing. * Thrills galofe. But you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Be sure to see the second game at Gordon Park Sunday.. \r/ /f\ Johnny Gornik, president of the Young Men’s Club was ex- tremely confident of victory- Even when the Loyalites vvere leading 4 - 0 he gave odds off 45 - 30 his eharges would win. His offer was taken up by a bystander. * , The next inning Johnny vvas sporting his winning smile, for his team tied the score. “Pay me Billy bov ” he was saying. That smile, however, was con- verted into a wan grin and fin¬ ali to a look of despair and amazement. His invincible ehampions toppled and fell. * The bet? What cared he about that. It was the pili of de- feat which tastecl so bitter to Johnny. “That’s ali right, boys,” he mumbled. “We’ll get ’em Sun- day. We’ll get ’em.” Stanley Yaeger, the wild buli from the Collinwood pampas was there,rooting for the LoyalHes. His fistic rival, Lindy Kotnik, was on the opposite side, rooting for the S. Y. M. C. (No b!ows or words were exchanged.) * Stan Yaeger and “Chuck’’ Slapnik nearly came to blows in the fourth inning. Friends av- erted the near battle. Perhaps it was hecause Stan came in overweight. He m.eant business, tho. No kidding about that. As soon as the flower “peddler” advanced toward him he raised his dukes and set him¬ self firmly in orthodox style. He was unshaven and produced magnificent contrast mixed in vvith some of the pretty Loyalite maidens. * One of Twin Yerse’s fast pit¬ ches sailed by the catcher and hit a spectator on the side of the head. It looked like a knock- out for a moment, but the lad shook his head and soon recov- ered. ‘Chief’ Modic worked out vvith the S. Y. M. C. preliminary to the game and made some niče catches. Murphy who leads off for the Loyalites made a wild dash at a raving maniac who got iuto an argument vvith J oe Kubilus. He pushed the vvould be serapper back throngh the crowd and : rubbed his noše. “Novv d... you, stay here”, he said. Who is the fellow, Murph? “Oh, it’s my older brother. He ean’t stand excitement. * Mr. Primož Kogoy, Supreme S e cretary of the S. D. Z. orgaivi- zation vvas an interested specta¬ tor. * Young and old people com- prised the vast throng which vievved the game. Sisters, broth- ers, fathers, svveethearts and even strangers were intensely interested in the game. After a bad first inning in vvhich, hovvever, no runs were scored; Iggie Jeraj settled dovvn for the next four innings and permitted only one hit. But in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth innings found the S. Y. M. C’s slambanging Iggie’s niče off- erings shamefully. * e Tvvo left handers, Cy Verbič and Nick Habian, garnered nine hits betvveen them. Who said lefties vvere looney? * The Slovenian Young Men’s Club used four southpavv play- ers. The Loyalites are not gift- ed vvith any offside throvvers. SAYS S.N.P J. MANAGER “LOYALITES WILL WIN SUNDAY”_ GERMACK *‘We scored more runs off Yerse than we thought we wou!d. I believe the boys are on to hom now. We are going to. malte a few changes to strengthen our defensive play. “ I feit a little shaky in the last inning. That S. Y. M. C. gang has defftat- ed us tvvice in final frame and from the looks of the things for a vvhile they destined to repeat their previous late rallies. “I don’t think a third game will ,be necessary.” DR4W FIRST BLOOD IN INTERLODGE CHAMP SERIES VERBIČ, HABIAN, KUHEL STAR a very vvhicb The Young Men had unusual first innihg in . they banged out three hits one a double and could not scon, Umpire Jack Lickert had his hands full in trying to keep the excited crowd back during the heat of the game. TRANKIE” MAKOVEC “CY” VERBIČ “NICK ’ HABIAN A. Kuhel, LoyaIite third sa*dt- er, sparkled in the field. His piay in Ed. Yerse’s slovv ground- ar vvas perfectly timed. Corning ih, he scooped and shot the sphere aeross the diamond vvith plenty of zip to get Eddie by ^ shade. In the fourth he made a niče catch vvith his back to the plate of Kovacic’s fly off third base. Jeraj’s three vvalks resulted in tvvo runs. Ordinarily an indoor game is played in about an hour and a few minutes, but Sundays hec¬ tic struggle took just tvvo hours and five minutes. Is is always said that in every championship series there is some one player that is the goat. It looks as if Pečjak of the Loyalites is the so - called goat so far. He štručk out five times in five trips to the plate. v.ta Ali batting honors go to Ver¬ bič of the S. Y. M. C. team col- lecting four singles and a double in five trips to the plate for a perfect day at bat. Habian, of the same team, is a close second as he collected tvvo singles and tvvo doubles in five trips. A. Kuhel played third base as it should be played and some of the eight cbances vvere pretty difficult. F. Yerse took čare of seven- teen batters via the strike out route. »K It looks as if the Loyaliies have a most capable leadoff man in Murphy. He vvalked the first tvvo times, got on first in the third trip on an error and singled the last tvvo times up making il five times that he reached first base in five trips to the plate. * In the ninth-inning many fans thought that if F. Yerse and Zupančič vvould make plays at first base and not home, the game vvould undoubtedly have gone to the S. Y. M. C. team. THE BIG SHOW WILL BE ON AGAIN SUNDAY, AT GOR¬ DON PARK, 3:00 P. M. FREE SCORECARDS ’N E V E R Y THING. Not until the very last man vvas out vvas the vietor definite- !y decided. The final inning eš- pecially vvas one of tenseness, frenzy, crisis and agony. It wa» by comparison, like vievving a prize fight in the last rounci vvihen both contestantjs fvail away for a knockout, vvith the cheering crovvd standing on its feet and yelling like mad. That is how the mob aeted in the last inning of the Loyalite _ Slo¬ venian Young, Men’s champion¬ ship game. The fans could not refrain from surging onto the bali field. Each pitch counted. Novv a vvild throvv, novv an error or bad play vvould simultaneous- !v hypnotize, so to speak, smil- ing spectators into gloomy and grim faced onlookers staring at a painful and heart breaking nrccedure. On the opposite side the spectators vievved the same pectacle vvith glee, joy and zest .heering for their idols like jfanaties. /; This act hovvever, vyas not al- ways played the same by the en- tire oast. At first it vvas the Loyalites vvho enjoyed the ease of mind and high spirits. This lasted for fully five innings. Firevvorks Begin But the sixth inning produced a great change on the hitrrto jovous faces along the third base 'ine. They began to take on a dismal appearance vvhen the S. D. Z. aggregation knotted the count. And vvhen the S. Y. M. C’s came out to score tvvo more runs in the seventh and eigth, the expressions and feelings one could see and sense vvere not merely dovvnhearted ones, but expressions of lamentation Hovv silent that third base LoyaIite crovvd vvas. • So silent that one vvould think they vvere becoming self conscious. MJith the score 8 - 4 in favor of the former S. D. Z. ^ehampions, going into the ninth, it appeared needless for any hasty persons to linger. Crash Comes in Ninth But the Loyalites once again came in for their share of j ubil- ation. In the first half of the final stanza they pounded out 3ix runs, making the score 10 - 6 in their favor. Once again the S. Y. M. C. fol- lovvers discarded their happy feeling vvhile the Loyalites took on the aspect of a David con- quering the Great Goliath. But the Young Men in spite of a four run handicap in the last half, staged a most špirit stirring finish vvhich had the Loya5;te reoters begging for a quick fin¬ ish and the S. Y. M. C. fans lust- ily cheering for the final sensa- tional rally vvhich they felt vvould come and must come if the S. D. Z. boys vvere to win. And hovv the S. D. Z. lads did respond Hdvvever, their grcat- est effort fell just one run short of knotting the count They managed to score three runs and had a man on first vvith the heavy end of the batting order up, but “Died,” as they say ouc West, “fighting hard vvith their boots on.” Pitching Not the Best > • It vvas expected that two such effective hurlers as Jerej and Yerse vvould stage a great mound duel. But a 10 - 9 score indicates loose playing somevvhere. Jera v was hit hard being touched for seventeen hits including seven doubles, although some of the blovvs vvere of the “dinky” var- iety. Yerse, the losing pitch er, granted only seven hits vvhich three bagger. He breezed sev¬ enteen batsmen. He also vvalk¬ ed five men and threvv five vvild pitches alj of vvhich figured con- siderably in the scoring. Lefties Big Stickers • Tvvo left handers, namely, Cy Verbič and Nick Habian, vvere the outstanding batters. They made more than half of the hits for the Young Men, crashing nine in ali. Cy laced out five in as many times at bat, vvhile Nick cracked four bingles. The hardest hit of the game vvas made by F. Kuhel in the second inning. His drive to deep right vvas stopped by the crovvd •and Frank vvas ‘held to only three bases. A. Kuhel turned in^the best fielding plays. Murphy also star- red at the bat, getting tvvo hits; scoring tvvo runs and knocking in tvvo. J eray seemed most effective on bases. The S. Y. M. C.’s had eleven men stranded vvhile the vvinners had six left on the base paths. The second game for the championship will be played Sunday. In čase the S. Y., M. C. vvins this shindig, a third game wi’l be necessary to dol¬ in itely decide the 1930 Inter¬ lodge Champion. BOX SCORE TEAM — LOYALITES; S. N. P. J. I TEAM — S. Y. M. C.; S. D.

No he didn’t set such a record for continuous playing. It is just the reverse. Thursday October 16th will be just two years, t\yo months and two hours since he made 'his last appearance at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair avenue. His last rousing affair whieh he promoted himself is just be- ginning to be forgotten now aft- er this long lapse of inactivky. This simply means that smiling Valentine Turk is going to stage a comeback to gain some of his forgotten prestige. With his long rested muscles and well rested fingers he promises to stretch ali the notes and wind out of his acčordion. Then to make certain that there will be plenty of varied mušic he has surrounded himself \vith seven musicians who will t accompany him.

It was the third part of the program that seemecl the most spontaneous and which was the most warmly applaud- ed by the audience. So enthu- siastic ws the audience that in spite of the long waits they ap- plauded and applauded to re- ceive three or fourencore num- bers. The concert started at 8:30 P. M. and was over at 11:30 not due to the length of the num- bers sung but beeause of the interminable intermissions be- tween the parts of the program.

Watch ’em march into the In- terlodge fold. You can’t hold ’em back. Ali the clubs that want to step out in front either do it by promoting some work of cultural, advancement, social activity or by tolisting a team in a sporting Venture. The sporting activities of the various fraternal organizations are at such a high pitch as they have never enjoyed in the his- tory of our community. And the interest in sports is increasing every year. This speakš well for the lodges. It means that as the interest in sports is in- creased, it thereby unconscious- ly helps to bring together our young men who might othervvise be whiling away their time at something unprofitable. That is one of the main purposes »i our fraternal organizations of today; to prepare the youth of today to step into the places of our fathers and carry on the great work which they had started. If our young men are not yet ready to look forward to the task before them, let us not discourage them in any venture of whatever nature as long as the move which they make will group them together in mutual understanding.
