Expterienced Gardeners It vvould be well to step around and look over these Slovene gar- dens and see just how beautiful the Slovene homesteads are, till- ed by the industrious hands of Slovene mothers and fathers. In vvinning five places in such a big competion the Slovenes es- tablished themselves as experi- enced hands in the art of land- scaping, proved that their homes are the most beautiful and best cared for in the neighborhood, and vvithheld the tradition of Slovenes be in g among the first in every garden contest condueted thus far, which was culminated last year by the vvinning o F vhe grand prize for the entire city by Mr. Frank Suhadolnik, prominent shoe dealer, with his rock gar¬ den at Chardon, Ohio.

Vincent De Paul was organized at the Collinwood Slovene Parish. St. Mary of the Assumption. At the meeting an address was dehvered by Mr. George H. Paskert, president of the Particular Council and the man who not long ago received a very high distinction from the Pope,- He outlined the work of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, stressing their great work in help- ing the poor. First Slovene Unit ji The Slovenes present at thefj meeting were: Mr. Charles SkebeS Mr. John Novosel, Mr. Ernest Terpin, Mr. Frank Mivsek and Mr. Joseph Urbanic. Officers for the conference will be appointed later by the Rev. Vitus Hribar, pastor, who will be the spiritual advisor as well as the guiding hand of the society.

The Chisholm papers carried big stories about him and called him the leader of Northern Minnesota. St. Vitus School Children Honor Their Pastor With a Very Appropriate Program Adult Slovene school will open its doors this evening at 7:30 p. m. in the Slovene Na¬ tional Home Building. As in the forme/r years, the class will be un¬ der the capable guidance of Mr. Ivan Zorman, Slovene poet and enthusiast. The subjects to be covered by the school this year will be Slovene literature and hi9- tory. Much Interest Shown The enrollment thus far is fa- vorable enough—16 having reg- istered. But this number in no way compares with the number that could attend if they only had a little love and interest foir their mother tongue. Many. who really wish to go are occupied by studies in other night schools. where their programs cannot be changed. However ali others should if possible., show the Slo¬ vene school faculty that they are eager to learn and be present on today. You .cannot even get such emminent instructors at col- lege as is offered to ali who at¬ tend the Adult class—in the per- son of Mr. Zorman. With so much interest as is shown at present the class will be very interestinrj and should surpass ali others in success, so be on hand tonight.

The chief iriter- est in the book lies, for me, in its emphasis on the popular arts.” —By Elizabeth Monovv (Reviews taken from the Book Revievv Digest) 1 Dramatic Incidents of SLOVENE HISTORY Frank Sodnikar A SLOVENE DECIDES AN AMERICAN QUESTl(^ Slovenes were considered until about a half cen. tury ago as uneducated, This could truly be said 0 f ^ peasant classes, for they had no opportunitieg to atten j school; vvork vvas more than plentiful on the field s ancj at home. Besides this, they had to vvork from momi n< , until night for the bare necessities of life, vvithout tioning vvhat they vvere forced to give in produce ail! j labor to their lords as taxes. But’ this could be saitj not on!y of the Slovene peasantry but of the poo , ei classes of ali nations at that time ali had the sarug hardships and problems to contend vvith. Hovvever, if the Slovene peasantry did not ha Ve an opportunity to attend school, it did not mean that there vvere no Slovene scholars at that time. The Slov ene nobility had the best of facilities for learning. Austri a had the world’s best university at Vienna and anyon e having the means could easily familiarize himself ali the knovvledge obtainable. M'any nobles, who had no other occupation, often took it upon themselves, as a hobby, to become skilled professional men. Perhaps at rare instances, this did help some of them, vvhen their fortunes, through some mistake, began to dvvindle and finally entirely vanish. After reading a letter from the Austrian emperor on one November night in 1760 a young Slovene lord, Roger Boskovic, found himself in that ver y predicament. In one instance he savv ali his vvealth vanish. The letter informed him that his estate had been taken away h\>m him by the Austrian government because he had vida. ted a certain rule of the sovereign. Not only vvould he be deprived of ali his possessions but the message also stated that by the morrovv he should prepare to give himself into the hands of the royal jailer. But, if he aeted quickly he could yet save the gem of his life—freedom. Boskovic vvas alone in the vvorld, and as he vvas Stili in the early forties, full of life and špirit, escape vvould be easy. Because of his hankering for sfudy, he had delved deeply into the Science of chemistry, having received honors in the study from the Vienna university. Therefore, he could easily escape to some foreign land and find a teacher’s post with vvhich to make a living. Whe n Roger’s mind vvas once made up he aeted quickly—so, knovving not his desti- nation, he 4 ^^rt into the night. . . About a year later vve find Boskovic a!ready hav- ing a responsible position as a chemist in the Rova' Court of England. In the year’s time he had traveled thru Germany and France, but ali over, ill fortune met up vvith him. He vvorked as a tutor for tvvo daughters of a German baron, but one day he vvas coldly informed that the no- bility did not vvant traitors for teachers; the company for vvhich hei clerked vvent out of business over night; he vvas a school master in a small village, but vvhen th°- peasants marvelled at his immense knovvledge and asked him vvhere he had studied they became suspicious how a poor school master could have attended such expen- sive schools and at once let him go, vvith no explanation, In this way Roger moved on and on, until he landed m London, penniless, hungry and ragged. It vvas his g° 0( ^ fortune that he met an old friend vvho had studied vvith him. They soon renevved acquainiances and Roger re- lated his entire plight. The nevvly-found friend vvas head of the chemistry department at Oxford, and vvith his influence he soon secured the Slovene an importan- post at the Court. As Boskovic had himself been a noble, it vvas easy for him to accustom himself to court life in London, and before long vvas as happy as he ever vvas at home. H e developed nevv friends, n-evv hobbies, his vvork vvas m- teresting and light, his past vvas forgotten—he had oni/ a bright future on vvhich to build. Among his nevv friends Roger considered ° n “ above ali others. It vvas the friendship of Benjamin Franklin, a gentleman of some sixty years vvho ha' come from distant America to represent the thirtesn colonies at the court of England. Boskovic and Franklin became regular friends. h wa s Franklin vvho shovved Boskovic a good time at th- court affairs, Franklin vvho vvas the life of these parties> and it vvas vvith Franklin they discussed the things closest to RogeFs heart—Science. The American had an in¬ venture mind and often Boskovic vvould influence so« 16 of his inventions. Because of this, Franklin prized Bs°' kovic s devotion very !iighly. Boskovic came upon one of these personal visi-- one night only to find his comrade in a slough of ^ eS pond. What is the matter! Anything go wrong? wa ' the first question asked.

We have, for instance, Billy Burns, whose story appears elsewhere on this page. Billy and Jenkins should provide a knockout as should the return match between the much discussed Virgil Delgaudio and Frank Lenarsic. The latter won by a knockout on the last Orel fight card. Virgil avers, bowever, that it’ 11 be Lenarsic-s turn to go down- This battle alone should be worth the priče of a ringside admission. Billy Anzig, popular CoTIin- wooder, former state champion, is staging a come.back arter a n*o year lay-off. His opponent is yet to be seleeted. Klemm - Rocco Frankie (Klemenčič) Klemm, the 39th Street pride has just re- turned from the country and is seemingly ripe for a good match. His opponent is to be a west sid¬ er, Sam Rocco. Both are slug- gers, boys flip a coin. Klemm, a lOth Ward club boy is favored to win. His manager is Earl Gross. Brule - Komar Joe Brule, the curly red-haired serapper from Collinwood, a product of Manny Robbins is to meet Tom Komar in another* bat¬ tle that should be thrilling. Ko¬ mar is a boxer. Brule a slugger. The latter knocked out Polusio at National Home. Komar deci- sioned Mordus. And Some More Starš Frankie Blake, a Slovene young- ster from East 67 Street is show- rapid progress. His oppon. is to be Marušič, football player and fighter—and finally the sheik of sheiks. Johnny Mor¬ dus, the fellow that makes the girls’ hearts beat heavily when he enters the ring and slips off his kimono to display his muscle. His opponent is no slouch according to outside opinion. He is to be Al Dundee. “Greenie” Modic will be un- able to fight Persin. An oppon¬ ent is soon to be seleeted for Persin. And so the “town crier” m the days gone by can stili be heard yelling, ”every fight jf you’re not satisfi fund your money.” Step rrght m and see the short and tali. and fat. Champions and near The folks along Hecker avenue have a short clunky wouth they call Joe Svekric. Perhaps many are not aware that this same Joe Svekric is none other than the hard-hitting lightweight vvhose ring moniker is Billy Burns. Burns is starting his third year as an amateur gladiator. He has engaged in over 40 battles, win. ning 27 by knockouts. He typi- hes Riško, having an ever boxing in style. His outstanding vvin- ning fights were, Bruce Jeffries, champion of Kansas City whom he defeated at 'the latter’s home town, Nick Masters in Chicago and the Youngstown Golden Gloves champion whom he kay- oed. Jack Dempsey Referees Bout Billy had the honor of fighting in Cincinnati with the greatest heavyweight of ali time referee- ng; namely, Jack Dempsey. Burns is being managed by Mannie Robbins, a manager vvho has in his time turned out more good fighters than any one »Ise in town. (Svekric) or Burns was intending to turn professional this fali. He will, however, try to land on the American Boxing Team to represent U. S. at the Qlympic bouts being staged al Los Angeles in 1932. One of his latest vietories was his spectacular knockout ovei Joe Pressinger whom he slugged down in the last round of their encounter at the Slovenc National Home. It was in April on the Orel fight card. The fans will once again have the opportunity to see Burns in \ action when the Orels stage their next bout, Thursday, October 8, at the Slovene National Home.

Orels Jerav Effective in Pinches — Allows 6 Hits The Orels finally broke a string of Comrade vietories which start- ed last year, and in whick the Orels tasted three losses this sea- son. Faced with the knowledge that a defeat would eliminate the loser, the Orels displayed one of those stellar performances, which now carries them into the finals against the Pioneers. Backing up Iggie Jeray’s mound work with sensational catches and with effective bat- work the Gymnasts made good on six hits to score five runs. They tallied once in the second on an error and a sacrifice. In the fourth they sewed up the game by Crossing the plate three times on a walk, double and two singles. • They scored once more in the sixth on an error and two hits. The Comrades, although they gathered six hits, were ahle to tally only once in the sixth on two hits, and were guilty of fou; errors. Jeray Stops Comrade Hitters It was Jeray against whom the Orel s three defeats by the Com¬ rades were chalked up to. Fle was hit hard in those games, but in the play-off fracas he tied the Comrade sluggers (into a knot, always working better wit:h men on base. He fanned eight hit¬ ters retiring the side in the third, and permitted but one base on balls. Much credit must be given to Freddy Marinko, diminitive third sacker, as he handled five chances and they were plenty hot. And of no less importance wr)s F. Brancelj, first baseman, who had a total of ten chances vvithout an error. He also bagged a double at bat. Zabukovec was the hard hittei of the contest as he slapped out a double and a single.

Patronize Our Advertisers The Clairvvoods entered the B finals by administering a 1 2-2 drubbing to the Betsy Ross club. Displaying one of their best games of the year, the young S. D. Z- crew played perfect bali, behind their pitcher Simon. At bat they clouted a total of eighteen hits, including two homers one triple five doubles and nine singles. For three innings it looked like a battle as both clubs were tied at two ali, but then the sticks of the Clairvvoods started ringing, and they scored, three runs in the lourth on four bingles, one in the fifth on two safeties, and finished by tallying four runs in the eighth and two in the ninth. The Flagmakers scored tvvice in the second on a pair of vvalks and a brace of singles but were held scoreless the remainder of the fracas. Simon Works Smcothly Perhaps the Clairvvoods best bet for the series is Simon, theii hurler. Simon is responsible foi many of his team's vietories among them a no hit. no run verdict against the Betsy Ros3 outfit. In this tussle, Simon vvas nick- ed but for four hits, in the first three innings. After the' third inning the Flagmakers failed to hit safely, Simon fahning tvvelve and vvalk- ing five. He also banged out a double and a pair of singles out of four times at bat. Klopec vvas the hitting lumin- ary as he clouted a homer and a brace of singles 'out of four trips to the plate. S‘trainic pressed him hard vvith a single, double and triple at five times at bat. Hrovat, Phillips and J. Zupančič each connected for a pair of hits apiece. Flagmakers Crack After playing fine bali through out the latter part of the season in vvhich they climbed up into the runninsr the Betsv Ross club cracked and by their loose field- ing ruined the day.
