An Evanston (Illinois) res- ident was driving his car. Being experienced with the manners of Machines he could not ascribe Ibe noise to any mechanical cause. Opening the hood he dis- c overed a large gray cat. The Orel Academy perform- ing before a capacity house at the Slovene Auditorium last Sun- day night, gave a splendid dem- onstration of the benefit to be derived from physical culture. The purpose of this organiza- tion—to build good health and strength by means of proper ex- ercise and develop the mind by insisting on discipline and order —was clearly evident to those who were fortunate enough to view the remarkable show. Those who came were surprised at the variety. The most pleasing of the acts was the one which featured. the tumiblers. The young fellows drew much appreciative applause from the laughing audience. The climax of the act came when a group of the boys formed a dan- gerously tali pyramind and one young lively. fellow, with a run- ning start leaped Jnto the air, hurdled over the ihigh human obstacle and landed lightly on his feet, springing a pretty som- ersault while in the air. , Joe Sterk, who had charge of one set, showed what hard work and much practice can do.

The older fellows under the leadership of John Sušnik and Anthony Baraga made the young ladies who were present lean for- ward with admiration. They did some heavy advanced work and did it well. No wonder the audience applauded so long and hard. The “girls wit.h, lights” was a thing of beauty. a drill with if- luminated Indian clubs. In the darkness with the lights blink- ing on the stage. it was easy to imagine and dream, much as is done when hazily vvatching sparks of a -log fire dance into the night. It wa,s so restful to j ust sit there and give imagin- ation free play. Though their work was not on the stage, the usherg rnust be mentioned. The pretty cos- turned girls who assisted were well versed in their duties. It Turn to Page Four The capacity of the hali was exhausted and many were turn¬ ed away from the doors after all the auxiliary seats were placed in the aisles to accomodate the( overflow. The performance was one of the ihighlightls of the whole series of performances that are so far given under the auspices of the Plain Dealer Theatre of Nations. And the audience was highly apprecia¬ tive of the way the newly organ- ized group mastered the parts and made the performance a credit to the Croatians of the city of Cleveland. It would be a presumption to try to make a criticism of the performance that would express the way the crowd was satisfied since the critics of the city have been so high in their praise of the per¬ formance. It is for that pur¬ pose that the following is re- printed from the Plain Dealer. It shows an outsiders point of view and is an honest opinicm of the play that is not full of prejudice that our own may be. By Roelif Loveland The five-act play, in short, is of a girl who loved a soldier. Be- cause of different religions, the girTs father would not consider an alliance. But the alliance came, father or no. Later the soldier, after drawing on his white gloves, had to go to war. Soon the girTs father discov- ered she had loved not wisely, and he sent her out into the world. A friendly old man took her in, helped her rock the ora¬ či le. Then, as t ! he soldiers went by, the old man found a flag and, holding it high above him, left for the front.

N. D. The program will be among the best and most entertaining, that the club has ever prepared, for any other af¬ fair. There will be singing, dancing, followed by games and a number of other acts for the enjoyment of the guests. Bar- bic’s orchestra will furnish the mušic for the occasion. Every- body is invited to atend. representation of a spectacle that has awed millions from the year 33 A. D. to the present day. The preparations for the pre- sentation of the Passion Play as it will be produced at the Slo¬ vene home on St. Clair will be the most extensive that have taken plače for any production and time, money or personal sacrifice have been taken into consideration to make the thing a sure success. Everything in connection with the play has a idea itself is big and of the finest nature. Coupled with this ■there is the preparations which will be of such grand nature that writing about them is im- possible to give them justice. Only the procuring of the cos- tumes and the scenery has been a financial undertaking that has been far in excess of anything that has ever been attempted before. Expftnse accounts for the properties alone have been a financial responsibility far in excess of a thousand dollars. Added to this is the expense of “Now that we have come to the end ©f a holiday it seem s that the only thing that I can say is sincere thanks to all who have made the ex;hibit a success. It was a success to me personal- ly but it was a greater success for those whom I represent the Slovenes and the Jugoslav in the old country, and I feel that if vou will understand when I say that this exhibition will be an incentive and inspiration not only to me but also to those who will follow me making the world realize that the Slovenes are capable of taking their plače in Will Be Solved Sunday Evening By a Staff of 25 the cultural affairs of the world” With these words Mr. Jakac j cerned do not dare deny If two men promised to pay off each other in a feud and did not čare who heard the threats; if further they were seen at the carnival together: and if they were not seen after that; what conclusion is there to draw from the facts as presented. That their mutual threats were fatal for both of the participants of the feud. That is precisely the view the inhabitants of a small village took when Mrkac and Zajc failed to return to their homes after the carnival that was held in a nearby toMm. But that is only the conclu¬ sion of the whole affair. It starts way back when the two neighbors and each has children at the age when in “spring they turn to thoughts of love.” Mrkac has the son and Zajc has a pret- ty daughter naturally they are attracted to each other and also promise mutual faith until they can get married. The bate of the parents is the drawback in the open profession of mutual love. The spark of love burns on until it becomes an open se- cret. The two neighbors can¬ not see such disgrace come upon their families and they promise to end the love by paying off the quarfel in a feud that has arisen on. the trespassing of some petty pride. The carnival is scheduled in the nearby town and the two neighbors come there to enjoy themselves but at the sight of each other the car¬ nival is forgotten. Next dav the neighbors do not return to their home. The townspeople aware of the hate and the threats that they have been promiscously hurled at each other become very suspicious of the what may happened. Tongues are wag- ging and the whole town is in uproar. The families con- any- an closed the exhibit which closed; fhing that is last Thursday evening and which without doubt was a suc¬ cess in every respect. The exhibit was really a holi- dav in which the people of Cle¬ veland celebrated the achieve- ment of a Slovene artist who has been acclaimed as an outstand- ing artist in Europe. People came from all communities to| revel in the beauties of Slovene creation and Slovene triumph of artistic expression and it was a spectacle to see the pictures that express practically every mood said for they themselves do not know the whole truth. Suspense is re- lieved when news comes back of. what has happened. How the solution has come about is the happy conclusion of a thrill- er that Dramatic club “Ivan Cankar” will solve next Sunday evening when thev present their play “Who is Dead”. The whole performance is not as gloomy as the plot would in- dicate for it is a riotous comedy that will keep all laughing from the beginning to the end.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, THURSD AY, MAROH 27th, 1930 1For^et It In a very real sense the newspaper, like the church and the school, must be regarded as a public institution. Hence the public welfare, not private gain, should be its chief concern. The new'spaperman is by the very nature of his calling, committed to the necessity of being an idealist. Unless the journalist can niake public welfare his supreme passion and the Service of the public his ci- vic religion, he had better choose some other business in which he can make more money”. That is the way F. Gibbons of Pennsylvania State College defines the journalist and lays down the principles that are concern- ed in journalistic practices. If a newspaper man is interested only in as much as the personal glory and praise that can be derived from the work he is interested in, then he has lost the per- spective that is the ideal of ali journalists who have achieved any success. There is a wonderful špirit j exemplified in the large municipal papers which appear every day. Many people know of the superiority of the New York Tribune, or of the fine leadership of other papers who are eonstantly quoted yet the great majority of the readers cannot name the editors of the side sheets. The identity is lost in their work and in reality the compliment that is received for the paper in general is indirectly the praise of the editor himself. Competition is the spur to better work and it is in many cases desirable. But competition that takes it upon itself to glorify its own self is an expression of the smallness of the people behind it. Public welfare is the prime reason for the existence of the paper and what- ever it can contribute to the public welfare is the only thing that counts in journalism. In our own field ot' Slovene journalism it becomes manifest that there will be competition and there will be efforts made to make the whole community better but the p a r t i c u 1 a r newspapers cannot be" dependent on what the personal feelings of the editors are. The field is cut out and there is no evasion. There will be always a pro and a con to practically every question, but, when a great communitv affair that is of interest,to ali the people of the com- munity, and when their own welfare and their own re- putation is at stake, it becomes the duty of the news- • papers to endorse it and push it to the logical con- clusion—success. Several affairs in the very near past have taken plače \vhen there was a notable silence in things concerned Slovenes and upon the outcome of which the reputation of the Slovenes has been at stake. Tjie af¬ fairs, we say, have been important and their effects will be felt only in the future when further and greater thipgs will be in store and when greater enterprizes will be entered upon and the preselit showings will be the criterion upon which future things will be judged. The Slovenes of Cleveland have been singularly fortunate in making a shovving of the things they under- took to do and in the main they did them with consider- able success. Greater success would have been possible if they were endorsed by ali those who were in the po- sition to assist. In things that concern the project of the advertis- Ing of one single publication it is impossible to imagine the others to do a great deal of advertising, if any, but why do papers pretend an interest in public welfare—in this čase welfare of the Slovenes—if they do not get in¬ terested in things in which the metropolitan populatior is an audience and upon which the \vhole of the Slovene populatlon will be judged? What taking away of any honors can there be to anyone if they can say that in this or that proposition “We, at the head of this and this Slovene publication have suceeeded in promoting g Slovene affair and make it successfuli We can claim a part of the success” Instead of adopting the attitude “leave them try to put it across and we will laugh at their failure.” Attitude of this kind is sickening and dis- gusting and a prostitution of the profession of Journal¬ ism. Let us have competition for the wlts are sharpened by it and it stimulates a desire to improve, but when there is Slovene interest at stake, why not forget indi- vidualism and substitute petty competition with big cooperatlon and make wholehearted interest the basis of competition rather than petty bickering? unavoidably a bit repetitious. The dialogue is fittingly matched ! :o the speakers throughout, the final tragedy wholly convincing in its suddenness.

SUHADOLNIK Ali was not as simple as it may seem for the nobles demanded their rights and v/ere intent on ob- taining it with the force of ar ms. In an armed up- rising they \vere defeated at the battle of Bela Gora and with the defeat disappeared ali hope of final suc¬ cess. In 1628, with the defeat of the Danes, when the Emperor was in the height of his powers he is- suecl the edict that the nobles cede to his demands of coming to the Catholic church or thev should dispose of ali their prcperty and leave his country. As a result cf the demands about 800 persons left interior Austria. troubles that no one even dreamed of doing any work in cultural fields. Coupled with the hardships the people were bothered with suppling winter quarters for soldiers who demanded irrespective where supplies came from added their own touch to the drama of domestic poverty. Turkish inroads and ali the terrors that they brought kept the people in such a State of excitement that it is a wonder that they eould find time to do any profitable labor vvithout thinking of the refinements. It was only after 1683 that the de- cisive defeat of the Turkish hoardes that the country slowly recuperated from the ills with which it had been cursed for more than a century. parish or education was entrusted to some one who knew how to read. The higher schools were in charge of the Jesuits who were by profession a religious or¬ der who have devoted themselves to dueation of youth, and were located in the larger centers. Some time later the Parish College at Rusa aided in the work. University courses were provided by the Theo- logical Seminaries at Gradec or some of the schools in Italy. ii Economic unrest and dist.urbance in any country has a direct bearing on the cultural outlook of the country. Those conditions were in effect during the period that follovved the Protestant Era. The Thirty Years War added to the Turkish menace and the ac- tive reorganization of the Catholic church and the correcting the Protestant evil has been the cause of one of the most dark cultural eras in Slovene History. In the interior of Austria the active and the quick ac- tion of the Leaders was responsible for the subduing of the Peasant Revolts. In Bohemia the same con¬ ditions were responsible for the outbreak of the Thirty Years Wars. Eventually the bloodshed in Bohemia spread to ali the countries in some form or other and the vvars as people have learned are expensive necessi- ties. They brought hai’d time and an excessive burden in men and in taxes which are not conductive to the making of cultural affairs.

His first oppon- e n was Steve Mullner. Now Mull- ner has fought the best in the class. He is an experienced battler and absorbs punches like a sponge does water. Hovvever, after a slashing battle in vvhich g.;Uy had to use his noodle for other things besides a target; his hand was raised in token of victory. The following night he met Jimmy Oakland, Marinie Eobbins’ best middleweight. In spite of Scully’s laborious fight of the night before, he proeeed- e d to give Oakland a boxing les- son such as he never received before. The bout was stopped to save Oakland unnecessary punishment. This was not ali. To defeat two of the leading gladiators simply meant that Billy was to fight in the finals and fight none other than Chuck MoCarthy, 0’Connell’s prodigy. McCarthy Proves Tough - Billy opened his first round cautiously stepping around Chuck, who had the advantage in height and reaelh. Billy box- ed in close, but once he fought at long range and Chuck clout- ed him right smack on the kiss- er. Billy went down, but was up before the referee began the count. Billy then began to use his left with such accuracy that Chuck was eompletely baffled. And just when he was reaclv to bore in, Billy would whip over his deadly right which seemed to blind Chuck. This was re- peated time and agarn, Billy had the fight in his hand thruout. Now boxing, now slugging, but with timelv precision and vvhen occasion required, sidestepping beautifully. At the end of the fight it was a foregone conclu- sion that Billy Scully v/as the new middleweight Champion. Billy deserves credit, more than do other champions. They fought good hoys, but they also had suckers, too. Billy faced three of the best in the class and won the verdicts without ques- tion. He has tihe istuff that champions are made of. Boxing slugging, brains and footwork. Billy has been on the retired hst for thirteen months. His first fight since his comeback had been against Steve Bonus at the Slovene National Home. He knocked him out. His second opponent ihe met in Canton. With but two fights in his sys- tem he entered and vvalked off vvith the Golden Gloves laurels. SOZINDOOR LEAGUE SPARTANS ŠPANK COMRADES By F. M. Jaksic SDZ Sports Commissioner Well, what’s the news in our SDZ indoor proposition? That’s being askecl of me almost every day. Now then that’s my ques- tion. Ah item appeared in the Feb. 15th edition of the American Home Junior (a part of the S DZ organ, Ameriška Domovina) regarding' our expected activi- ties. We requested at that time that societies expecting to plače teams should report to me. And what a result. Nothing but questions! Boys, questions wdll not play bali; it takes regular boys to do that. The Indians and the rest of the big leaguers are now in the south getting ali set for the 1930 sea- son. There is no reason why we don’t get started. If we wait too long I’ll be get¬ ting worried about suitable play- grounds. You can enlighten my burden by letting me know if you vvantl an indoor SDZ league. If you do, don’t wait for the other teams to report but get busy and enter your own team and if you ali do that I can proceed , get the grounds, call a meeting and get every- thing else out of the way so that we can get an early start for a successful league. Now it’s up to you. Fina! Games of Interlodge League To be Rolled Sunday The Spartans took to the alleys vvith vengeance against their jinx, the Comrades. The latter won the first game and after trailing in the second game by fifty pins, came vvithin seven points of vvinning the second seto. The last game Vir¬ tual^ clinched second plače .for the Spartans. Stanley Bencina battered the pins for a six hun- dred eight score. He was the main cog in bringing the gloriu: victories to the Spartans. The pennant-bound Clairvvoods subdued the Loyalites in three games. Julius Bokar was the chief maple rnauler vvith five hundred ninety-five. The Collinvvood Boosters led by Johnny Laurich, vvho rolled a tvvo hundred thirty-three game, easily vanquished the Progressives. The Kozans, vvho have been trailing in eeventh plače ,nearly ali season have just about assured themselves of sixth plače by vir- tue of their series vvin over the Laseh Bakeries. The latter team early in the season vvas in first plače, having vvon eight out of the fin t nine games played. Later, they lingered in third plače for a while, then dropped to sixtb vvhere they remained until Sunda> vvhen displaced by the Washing- tons. Wil! Ring Down Curtain Sunday Sunday vvill see the bovvlers in action for the last time' this season. It vvill be the climax of a schedule of sixty-three games. The Clairvvoods, vvho are lead¬ ing the league, vvill try to stave ofl the fighting Boosterr. The Clair vvoods are being closely pressed by the Spartans, vvho have an easy opponent Sunday. The lead- crs must vvin decisively against the Boosters othervvise the Spar¬ tans may yet take the crovvn. On the other hand, the Boosters too, vvill have to fight hard, for the Comrades are right on their heels and three losses for the former vvill put the Comrades in third plače. In brief, the Spartans vvill be pulling for a Booster Victory, vvhile the Comrades vvill vvant the Clairvvoods to vvin. The positions of the lovver half of the league vvill be Loyalites, Kozans, Laseh, Progressives. Intel- - Frat Fans; We Are Sorry In our last issue we vvrote that the championship series vvould begin Tuesday, March 24th. We had been misiji- formed by one of the officers of the Inter - Frat League that the game vvould be played on that date. Hovv- ever, the change has been made after vve vvent to press. We therefore could not pre- vent this mistake, vvhich vve hoped has not caused you any convience.

ATTENTION — BALL PLAY- ERS AND MANAGERS INTER - LODGE DOUBLES TOURNAMENT The bovvlers of the Inter Lodge league emulated the A. B. C Tourney by staging a tournamem of their ovvn. Sixteen doubles teams vvere entered. Mihelich and Joe Bokar vvalked off vvith first plače by smashing the mar- vellous total of one thousand one hundred fifty-eight pegs. Bokar also rolled the highest single score banging out tvvo hundred thirty tvvo. His other games vvere one hundred eighty-one and tvvo hun¬ dred six.

H . Lattimer - Morrison Fords vvill re-enter class “A”. “Wid“ and Georgie Radigan vvill manage the team. It is rumored that Ralph Heckman acd Fat Marsch may play for them. TI Mlinar Svveets and Golden Rule Coal are both graduating from class “E” vvhere they made a good shovving last vear. 11 Grdina and Sons will again back a baseball team. In the past years the Grdina’s have al- ways been terrors to the lead¬ ing teams of the city. About tvvelve years ago the Grdina Un- dertakers, as they vvere then known, were winning 'bali games regularly until just before the close of the season, when they blew up. In 1927,, Grdina and Sons entered another powerful team in the field. This club was eonceded the pennant by the fans before the season started. It perhaps vvas the hittingest bali club that ever played in class “B”. And yet this collec- tion of svvatsmiths and tree busters failed to come through in the elimination series. , Once again the Grdina’s of 1930 vvill take the field againsi the strongest collection of stars in class “C”. Frank Grdina, vvho is the business manager, is certain that this team vvill not only hold up the reputation of the Grdina’s of old, but vvill break the jinx and win the much coveted cup; vvhich vvas always so neai\ and yet so far in past years. He has seleeted Tommy Gribbons as manager vvho guid- ed the King’s Jolly Pals to the class “D” championship. Gribbons to Have Old Squati TOMMY GRIBBONS is vvhat might be called a “go get ’em manager.” He lost no time in j signing the champions of lasti year to eontraets. As soon as he! vvas assured of the old players he began to make additions j which vvill greatly bolster the club. FRANK STUPIC vvho pitched such splendid bali for the Černe Jevvelers in clsas “C” last year, is a nevv addition to the Grdina outfit. He is a left hander and throvvs the pili vvith great speed. Gribbons made a master in sign¬ ing Stepic vvho should burn up the class. LOUIE ZAKRAJŠEK is bet- ter knovvn as “Zak.”. He too, is a left hand pitcher. He hurled the King’s Jolly Pals to the class “D” championship. He vvon twenty-four games; aver- aged fifteen strikeouts a game; allovved an average of six hits a game, and corltributed a fevv timely homers. JOE ZELINSKI is another hurler of note. He made the ali star team last year. CHESTER ARTHUR is a real bali havvk. He vvill cavort in' left field. He is a nevvcomer; formerly vvith the Superior Mer¬ chants. Bats lefthanded. LOUIE STERNISHA has the inside track over Frank Lah for centerfield. PHIL BUTKINS vvill snag flies in rightfield. He has come thru during critical moments last year and is regarded as a very timely hitter “HONEY” SCULLY Utility infielder. “Honey” is brother to Billy Scully, the middlevveight Golden Gloves Champion. Man¬ ager Gribbons opines that if Scully observes the “early to bed and early to rise” rule, that he vvill be a ihard man to keep otit of the regular line up.

They have vindicated themselves of. ithe charge and lightheadness that is attributed to youth of this day and age. On the last evening of the ex- hibit many of the picture had little pink cards announcing the purehasers and it was a pride of ali to note the number of pic- tures that was held by the lod-. ges of the community not only the Slovene lodges but also the English speaking lodges who have felt that they should take the opportunity of showing their appreciation of the work of the Slovene artist. To lend color to the exhibit the ever interested and ever ac- tive Jugoslav Slovene club with their interest in Slovene affairs were present in their costumes from Slovenia created the at- mosphere of a little .bit of Slo¬ venia transplanted to this con- tinent and by their unselfish work they have drawn much comment on their špirit of self- sacrifice and also sincere thanks from the artist Mr. Božidar Ja¬ kac himself. It was not only the exhibit of art that was going on during the week that closed with the Thursday March 20, but it was an artistic holiday in ali regards for the local and visiting vocal and musical artists have made it possible to say that the art ex- hibit was an occasion in which ali cultural arts were exhibited. The Radio Trio, consisting of Miss Kalan, piano. Mr. Louis Kolar, violin and Mr. Anton Ep- pich, cello entertained the assembled visitors to the ex- hibit almost every evening. Be- sides the trio there was a spec- ial program of songs from ar¬ tists whom the whole communi- ty knows. Mr. Svetozar Ban¬ ovec, Miss Zora Ropaš, Miss J. Sterle, Mr. Plut, Mr. Belle," Mile. Udovič and Welf in their ever popular duet offerings have con- tributed to making the whole af- fair a real holiday that is ex- perienced by SloVenes in Cleve¬ land ;only on very rare odca- sions. Mr. Božidar Jakac himself was very much pleased at the interest that the Slovenes of Cleveland and other localities, Lorain, Pittsburgh and Detroit have taken and came ali those distances to view the exhibit of works. He expressed himself with a simple thanks because he did not know any work that could express the feelings that he felt. It was indeed a Slovene holiday and it is ihoped that the actually living the partsor Bridge vvill have a chance of CROATIANS’ PLAY (From page one) The girl went, too, caught sight of her lover, a most estim- able sergeant — after the battle a lieutenant — and fo'llowed hi m to the fray.

Under less' skillful acting that of Mrs. Predragovich, who por- trayed the girl Janja, certain scenes. might have been robbed of the real feeling that was in them. But she acted splendid- ly, beautifully. Predragovich himself, in the role of Pero, the loving army man, was one of the stars of the play.

That vvas his watch chain, a gold one, which appear¬ ed slightly out of plače, one thought, vvith bare feet. He was the only gentleman vvith- out shoes. One vvould think he’d have exchanged one for the other. But, as another explain- ed, it might have been j ust an old Croatian costume. The father, Marijan, played by Michael Fuceo, was a strong role, of which only one minor cricism will be made. This con- cerns his mustache, whieh went up in an easy sweep almost to his eyes. The result from vvhere some sat, vvas that, no .matter how stern his voice became on occasion, he always looked as if he were grinning.

It is only an idea of what the performance will be like. It is of interest to ali the members of the čast that they do their parts well and the performance of the Passion Play will be a mark of the type of acting that the members of the ca«t are ca- pable. Mr. Joseph Grdina and Mr. Oblak vvho are also members of the čast are the directors of the Passion and they are vvell versed in the requiremen|s that are needed to make the whole affair a success. Not the slightest fault has been permitted to es- cape vvithout the finest and the most minute attention. They are convinced that attention to the seeming trifles vvill make or break the whole affair and they are anxious that they will make it. So much attention and favor- able criticism has been attadhed to the affair that there is very great interest shown in the per¬ formance that the tickets have been moving rapidly. Many of the seats have been sold and it behooves that tha|se who are planning to attend the perform¬ ance will find it profitable to provide thermselves with t&ek- ets at the earliest occasion or they vvill face the possibility of being vvithout them. The tičk- ets may be procured at the Jos.

Usually, after a basketball sea son is over, an all-star team is picked by a committee or a news- paper. This is indeed a tough as- signment, we will therefore select the outstanding stars'only. Josephine Laurich is the out¬ standing player of the entire squad. The two most valuable players from each team are: Geo. Washington . .

The Martha Washington Lodge has al ready stated its desire to join and are now looking for a capable coach. Introducing the Coaches Joe Vidmar, coach of St. Anns, was the champion foul shooter of the city in class “B” last year, having made nineteen out of 25 tries. Charles Dehler, Flashes, was a three šport star at Dayton Uni- ver:ity, and at present is playing semi-pro basketball. The most successful coach, Vic tor Zaletel of the Sokols, was an outstanding cage star vvhile at Spencerian College. He vvas also the first president of the Comrade Lodge. The coach of the Comrades, Rudolph Turk, played basketball at both East and Glenville HigH Schools. The Glenville team at that time vvas the Northeastern Ohio champs. He also leads off for the present Comrade bovvling team. 156 175 169 191 182 174 157 162 159 164 233 188 149 191 177 873 816 938 Amer. Home Pub. . 44 16 Spartans . 42 18 Coli.
