So planned that it will not have a dull moment from the start until it finishes the ten acts of a very skillfully prepared pro¬ gram, the Comrades will be able to show what it means when they say that they will entertain. The past reputation of the Comrades as a social club as well as a frat- ernal lodge has been established long ago but on this occasion the Comrades are out to outdo them- selves if that is possible. Ali of the talent on the pro¬ gram will be recruited from the members of the Comrade lodge and each wi!l be something that is slightly different and altogether novel. Ten numbers featuring skits, musical numbers, a play, singing in groups as well as small- er combinations will be the pro¬ gram vvhich vvill be offered in the afternoon vvhile dancing to the Virginia Nite Havvks will make up the activities for the evening. The program has been care- fully planned for a few months past and ali the participants in it have been hard at work polishing and vvorking out any of the diffi- ".ulties vvhich may creep in a pro¬ gram of that kind. “If its fun you’re looking for, then the Com¬ rades’ Shovv is something you acnnot miss” is the motfo of the Comrades.

We must say m justice that it is not a eontroversv in which everv one calls the other names, but arguments are advanced on both sides and each must be considered. In its way, thp Cleveland Journal is very rnuch in- terested in the controversy inasmuch as it was one of the pioneers in the use of the wprd “Slovene” in contradis- tinction to the other terms which have been variously applied. There is a need of a controversy of the kind and the Cleveland Journal is interested in the outcome of the whole affair and the conclusion which will be drawn from it. We may be able to add our own opinion and the reason why the Cleveland Journal has been the organ of the American SLOVENES since the beginning. The name has been adopted because the Cleveland JournaPs first editor, Edwin Primožič, was a Slovene by birth and has resided in this country only a compara— tively short time before he assumed the position of the then newly organized paper. His acquaintance with the European customs and with the thought of the people over there was the principal reason for the decision. His :diameter decision in the affair favored “Slovene.” S'econdly Eur- opeans when refering the nationality of Jugoslavia which is not Croat or Serb, has always been Slovene and never anything else.

Notary Public (my commission expires Ang. 30, 1! ii*ll ip, too« and witl iop from she him ( nit, k Novi kii measui ri|k is referi stopped tke li led tke (Jt (Um iv Modic and MY OPINION OF THE LABOR CONDITIONS By Vera Candon I am very interested in this industrial panic, v/hich every one of us is experiencing. Its causes, its results, and above ali a solution to this great problem are ali so vitally important that each individual ought to be interested in it. Last week I attended an inspection trip vvith the industrial engineers frcm Ohio State University. Our chief purpose was to see ourselves in just what condi- tion the factories are in. How many men and women they are employing, what they are doing to try to solve this unemplovment situation. But first of ali let me teli you just what impres- sions were left vvith me by the end of the week. Our first visit was to the Lincoln Electric Co. We were first taken to the fourth floor, where we' witnessed a very interesting demonstration on the different types of weldings and how to distinguish them. There things, after we came there I believe, looked fairly good. There seemed,. to be quite a few men working; but when we got down to the lower floors, we felt as though we had intruded upon some deserted house. The entire plače v/as morose and lonely. Here and there, there was a man and he actually was a treat to our eyes. Our giiide explained that their selling is at a com¬ plete standstill and that at the present time they aro emp!oying only twenty-five per,cent of- the normal number of men. Even those are working only a few d.ays a week. So,. we continued through the National Acme and the Cleveland Twist Drill. Although things were a littie brighter in these places stili that same feeling of empti- ness persisted. At the National Acme we noticed that there were a large number of girls doing the ,;work whieh a few years ago men did. We inquired about this and our guide told us that women could be obtained for almost nothing, today conditions in thousands of homes made it necessary for women to work so they are willing to do any work. At the American Steel & Wire Co. we learned that of the twelve blast furnaces which the company owns, only four of them are being operated.Just a word about this plače. It probabiy was the most interesting of ali the places which we visited. I thought that the blast furnaces were the most remarkable fireworks which I have ever vvitnessed. The beautiful star-shaped sparks and the white hot flame are qu\';e thrilling to watch. I even got so close at one time that I carried a souvenir spark home with me. But I didn’t go back for another. Then the way in which the wire is made is quite ingenious. Can you imagine a fiVe hundred pound block cf molten iron sufficiently compressed and strptched until it is a wire? Well, that is exactly what happens. These huge blocks are slowly compressed and finally when they come out at the end of the factory, we flnd that our block is gone and that in it’s plače we have a thin wire. Our next trip was to the White Motor Co. Here again the same tale prevailed. A number of the depart- ments here had been conipletely “wiped out” because of this industrial struggle. I was particuiarly interest¬ ed in the reasors which our guide gave to us for the causes of this crisis. “This panic,” he said, “is not due to the industrial over-supply, but to our corruptive political parties.” The existing political parties, he claimed, have caused an uneasiness and mistrust in the government of our country. They have forced the people to hoard their money rather than to spend it as they previously did. I think that there is a great deal of truth in what he said. But, I think that our present executives can also be severely criticized because they have not tried to put a stop to some of the corruptive moves which have been made recently. In fact, they have urged them on. How can people believe- in such an admini- stration? Other factories which we visited were Nela Park and Fisher Body. The same impressions were left with us throughout our trip. No one had any solution to offer and each had his own reasons for the causes of this condition into which our country has fallen. Our only relief from depression and emptiness was the Richman Bros. Co. It actually was a relief to go there merely because everything was busy. Much like old times. Sewing machines were purring as hard as they ever have. The girls worked faster than I ever supposed that a human being could. Everything was cheerful there. The girls’ faces were bright and alert; each one in earnest to do her best and as much as pos- sible. There seemed to be no “hanging on” for the sake of life or death as there was in the other places. Every- one seemed to be pretty sure of himself. Maybe they weren’t as happy as they seemed to us. Maybe we were just so glad to see one plače at least working thatf we thought they were cheerful. I don’t know-, but I certainly hope that it really is as bright as it looked to us. And so, we covered a number of Cleveland’s largesc factories, and vvith the exception of one plače we left very unhappy and vvondered what this world is coming to. Who has a solution and when will it be presented was ali that we could think of. I shall in just as few vvords as possible teli you what I think of the entire situation. First of ali I think that it is a lot worse than what the papers and the gcvernment pretend that it is. I don’t know whether they are trying to fool themselves or the public by telling them that things look better. They don’t, in f acl they look worse than. ever. s« 0® The whole world is sitting back watching to how soon we’ll break. And why shouldn’t they. own government is doing the same thing. Instead doing something, they keep wondering about wl> a j they should do. They are as bad as the small chap has a penny to spend in a large eonfectionary stop¬ ile can’t decide because there are so many different kinds.

Mister Bert Stokes the portly gentleman of leisure from Cen¬ tral avenue came running into the Slovene Auditorium ali out of breath. “Say. boss” he said breathlessly, “Give me a quahta and let’s have it quick. I jist arrived wif my fihtas and delegation an we’re shy exactly twenty-five cents. The cab man won’t release my boys if I don’t squah up. Thanks boss.

Staging one of the greatest comebacks, the Sokols battled their way through to a decision and marvellous victory over the Silver Masks. Shovving a com- plete reversal of form, in passing and handling the bali, the Sokols literally svvept the Blue and Grey off their feet. llie Gymnasts played at a fast and speedy pace, never easing up. With both clubs boasting one vvin each, next vveek vvill see one of the best tussles of the year. Sokols Break Jinx In scoring this win, the So¬ kols have apparently shaken off that Mask jinx, vvhich had follovv- ecl them throughout the year. With three decisions over the Sokols, the Silver Masks seemed to be slated for the Inter-Frat ciovvn, but the Sokols’ grand vic- tory throvvs nexr week’s outeome into a tossup. Sokols Never Relenquish Early Lead Jumping into an early lead, the Sokols held on to it, altho the Masks were threatening to overcome it in the first half, but failed due to the Red and Whites’ clever guarding. In hold¬ ing a 5 - 2 lead at the first quar- ter the Sokols inereased it at the half 9-6 and held a one point lead at the end of the third per¬ iod, 1 3 - 12, but in the last quar- ter they did something that'they fell dovvn on in their other games with the Masks. The Sokols never lost hold of that one point margin, instead they rnereased to such a big margin that the Blue and Grey found it hard to over¬ come it. Weakening in the last period was mostly to blame for the Sokols’ other defeats, but Wednesday’s game proved differ- ent. Game Marred By Fouls The tussle vvas exceedingly rough, there being 30 fouls call¬ ed with the Masks holding 18 and the Gymnasts tvvelve. Sla- per and Fouts vvere forced out on personals late in the third period and Arthur was put out in the last quarter. Arthur vvas the only Mask played to score from the field, as she registered three goals and one free toss for seven points. The Red and White tallied seven to three buckets for the Masks, but both teams scored the same amount of penalty another left. lX r vvitb * UE tW ° s B e TEs started a s l°w tango number. ^&k.| connects. * Don did succeed in hurtin colored boy about the body. Hovvever, vievving the fight as it should be vievved, we feel that Woods vvas unjustly deprived of a decision. Pallat Kayoes Gersin Pallat did not take long to stovv away Rudy Gersin. In fact, Rudy was beat before Pallat tcuched him. It vvas clearly ev- ident that hp vvas nervous and afraid of the national heavy- vveight champ. He ducked into three stiff left jabs and almost vvent dovvn. A short left hook to the stomach follovved by a right chop brought dovvn on his jaw finished him. The Orels, and the crovvd of almost 1,000 vvere so vvell pleased vvith the fight card ar range d by promoter Heinie Martin that an¬ other fight show sponsored by them may be looked forward to. And thus we sign off at exact- ly 2:45 A. M. This is the Cle- it is easily seen why “Lefty Ann” Gasparič and “Fran” Klopec vvere chose n as guards on the Ali Star team. Besides being on the clefense, “Ann” and “Fran” also clid some count sr attacking themselves, Klopec netting two loopers for four points and “Lef- ty” sinking one from the field and one from the charity line for three markers. Kushlan and Slaper scored two points each, Arthur counted seven points and, Kastelic one for the Blue and Grey. Sokols Draw First Blood With a neat crovvd attending the Sokols soon made it appar- ent that they vvere out to vvin, as they played vvith a rapid clip cluring the game. After several tries at the basket from both clubs, Klopec looped one vvhich rolled off the rim only to have Knaus follovv the throvv and reg¬ ister the first point for the So¬ kols. Gasparič vvas fouling on the shot, and Osiecki made one of tvvo throvvs.. As she received a pass from “Lefty Ann” Knaus, altho she vvas blocked tried an cverhand throvv, that sailed right through the hoops. On “Lefty Ann’s” second penalty, Osiecki again tallied. Knaus fouled on the throvv by Fouts, chalked up one of tvvo tosses, to give the Sokols a 5 - 2 lead at the quar- tcr. The second star,za had hardly opened vvhen Arthur received the bali from out of bounds to score. Osiecki vvas blocking and Slaper counted on the toss. Again fol- lovving up a miss throvv, Knaus marked up tvvo more points for the Gymnasts. On Arthur’s foul Slaper made good on the try. Arthur received a pass from En- glehart, to break avvay and score. A fevv seconds later the vvhistle Hew ending the first half vvith the Sokols in the lead, 9-6. Masks Rally Slaper vvas chargiog in on the shot and Osiecki registered one of' tvvo throvvs, follovved by Ar¬ thur’s good try from the free line. Klopec snagged a pass from “Lefty” and registered. On Sla- per’s fourth foul, Osiecki again tallied. Kushlan vvas fouling and Kastelic registered. Knaus scored a free throvv on Fout’s fourth jeartless attempts to penetrate the freezing zone, the Masks seemed at a loss and could not break up the Sokols’ passing. A fevv seconds later the closing vvhistle blew.

Knaus Starts Bali A-roliing Molly Knaus, at center, vvas the main cog in the Sokols’ win. Time and again she out-jumped her rival center, and out-played her in every stage of the game. Molly played as if inspired, her nine points on three double deck- ers and three free throvvs taking scoring laurels for the evening. With Molly on a point piling spree, her tvvo guards, Gasparič and Klopec, Journal Ali Star teammates, took čare of • the Masks threats, namely Nichols and Osiecki.

Johnny Smole, popular mem- ber of Comrades sent us the ar- ticle presented below on games and; their origin. We believe the information to be of a nature vvhich is unlike that published right along and think it very in- teresting. MODERN GAMES AND THEIR ORIGIN Of the several million people in America who derive pleasure and amusement from watching and participating in baseball as vve know it, probably onIy a few realize that this great pastime had its origin in an old English game called Rounders. The game of rounders had little in common •vvith modem baseball excepting that it was played with a primi- tive sort of bali not entirely un¬ like in size and shape the bali used in present day baseball. Rounders vvas played in Amer¬ ica in the old English Colonial days, and several variations of the game were developed here. As early as 1 793 in Cooperstown, New York, a man maned Abner Doubleday who later was a high official in the U. 9. Army, de- vised a set of rules for the game, vvhich was the forerunner of base¬ ball. About the same time a similar pastime was being play- ed in and around Philadelphia called town-ball. The classic game of one-old-cat also became popular vvith school boys in the North Atlantic States about this same time. This game was play- ed by three boys, each fielding and batting in turn, a run being scored by the batsman running to a single base and back without being put out. 'Variations of this game were called two-old-cat, three-old-cat and four-old-cat, the last named requiring as many as eight players. Probably the oldest organized baseball club in record was the Washington Baseball Club found- ed in New York in 1843. A code of rules was drawn up in 1845 by the Knickerbocker Baseball Club, vvho by that time were scheduling matches with other teams in New York and Brook- lyn. The first baseball convention was held in 185 7 for the purpose of framing uniform, rules, and in May, 1858, the National Base¬ ball Association was organized Even in that early day there was considerable agitation in favor of a larger and livelier bali, and the pitcher was compelled to literally pitch the bali, ali throws and jerks being prohibited. The reg- ulation baseball of 1858 weighed six and one-half ounces and measured ten and one-half inches in circumference. It was made vvith a rubber core weighing two and one-half ounces, and covered with yarn and leather. In those days bats were not limited as to length but could not be more than two and one-half inches in diameter. The pitcher vvas at liberty to take any num- ber of steps before delivery, and could pitch his bali almost vvith- out limitation, so long as he had pitched as near as possible to the home base. Pitchers’ deliveries bega n developing gradually, and as early as 1860 the underhand throw had come into vogue, and by 1 866 at least one pitcher was using a curve delivery. In the I860’s the game became very popular, and many now fa- mous clubs, including the Red- stocking of Cincinnati and the Forest City team of Cleveland, were formed. These were in the nature of semi-professional clubs, and ali the players had some other means of livelihood in ad- dition to their ball-playing abil- ity, bechuse the income to be de- rived from playing bali in the summer was not sufficient to sup- port them during the vvinter months. It is interesting to note that even in this early day the game acquired certain undesirable fea- tures, including betting and pool selling. These caused baseball to come into rhore or less disre- pute, and charges of “thrown” games were heard everywhere. Because of this sort of thing the press of the day predicted a speedy downfall of the game. A phia in 1867, and those financial- ly and otherwise interested in baseball met for the purpose of reforming the game. About five hundred organizations were rep- resented at this convention, which did produce certain re- forms and caused a further spread of popularity of the past- time. Early in the 1870’s the Boston team and the Athletics, two of the best organizations of the day, went to England on a tour of ex- hibition games, probably similar in nature to the barnstorming tours undertaken by our more modern organizations. For some reason or other ali efforts to pop- ularize the game in England met with indifferent success, and to this day baseball is by no means a major šport in the British Isles, but in America the game contin- ued to prosper. The Profession¬ al element continued to increase and in 1875 the club owners took control of the Professional players and organized what vvas called the League of Professional Baseball Clubs. For some years the National League consisted of twelve teams, but in 1900 the number was reduced to eight, and the same eignt cities then represented retain their National League clubs and franchises to .this day. In 1890 a rival organization, called the American League, was organized, with Ban B. Johnson as president. This league also contained eight clubs, several of them. being located in cities al- ready boasting a National League organization. These two leagues, the American and. the National, were termed and are stili called the major leagues. In addition a large number of leagues of secondary importance were form¬ ed, many of them continuing to prosper until this day. As every one knows, the two major leagues impose upon each member team a schedule of 154 games per year, the winner in the National League playing the winner in the American League at the close of the season for the world’s cham- pionship. It is an interesting fact that rowdyism on the part of certain few of the spectators and a ten- dency to criticize umpire”s deci- sions is by no means a modern evil of the game. a\s eany as 1875 these same unhappy inci- dents cropped up regularly to mar the šport. Unquestionably many of the fans who attend baseball games today may be said to have come honestl« hv their readiness to holler and yell at the umpire. In ali probabiliy their parents and even their grandparents indulged in this same sort of self expression many many yeaTS ago. Baseball is aptly called the na- tional game of the United States. It did not gain its title by the con¬ tinued prosperity of Professional baseball clubs, however. For every player on one of the big leagues there are literally thou- sands of youngsters vvho play sandlot baseball iregularly thru- out the summer season. Baseball as a pastime seems peculiarly well fitted to the American tempera¬ ment. The normal, healthy American boy ta^es to the f game as a duck takes to water. Every youngster at heart would rather be Babe Ruth than President. Without doubt baseball has cre- ated more national heroes in the minds of American youngsters than statecraft, business or mili- tary activities could ever create. The rules of the game of base¬ ball have not been changed ma¬ terial^ in recent years. One of the most common re- forms 'vvhich are being urged by many vvho are interested in the game is that of the ten player team. If this new regulation were to be adopted it would mean that the added or tenth player would be simply a batter who would take the pitcher’s turn in the batting order, thus reliev- ing pitchers, vvho are notoriously poor batters, from the necessity of making their appearance at the plate. Much may be said for and against this change, and time alone will reveal its desir- Gornik Habs Drop One; Bl’ds Outrolled, Upset Leaders STUDIOS TIE FOR SECOND PLAČE J Al ALAI FASTEST GAME By Joe Jarc The Demshar Bl’ds dumped the Gornik Habs, just a wee bit late.
