Max Eastman in The Masses: The So
cialist vote having fallen on by one
one-half, a wistfui and wholesome
searching of self is evident in the par
ty press. An element of doubt has been
injected into minds heretofore paralyz-
a correction OF the chief fault OF the
party. Scientific thinking requires the
power to suspend Judgment and that
power has been habitually renowned
as an automatic part of the act OF be-
coming a party member. ready
made first-aid solution of any question
that might arise was assumed to be at
hand in the Communist Manifesto and
the party platform, and anyone who
had anything else to say would be q
hereto and traitor to the working
class.
Clan the creed over any new fact
that arises, and IL the fact will not fit
under the creed, shut your eyes ana
jam it under. This manner OF employ
ing. i call 1t theological automatism,
and have no doubt 1t is the leading
cause Of the failure OF Socialist party
progress. The number of people who
to formula is very large. But the
number of liberty-loving people who
will sell out to Socialist formula IS
not large. These people are too proud
evitably sets them to thinking; they
cannot help thinking. And SO in the
very nature of things the attempt to
establish revolutionary theology was
doomed.
After that fault in the very attitude
of the nervous system of the orthodox
Socialist is corrected, there remains
another change to be wrought before
he will function very effectually in a
current of events. Having released
himself from a dogmatic fixation upon
his doctrine. he will have to learn to
subordinate doctrine altogether in his
recruiting activities. Even a live and
plant scientific hypothesis is not the
nucleus around which a political party
to represent, not a certain kind of
knowledge, but a certain economic in
terest. 1t ought to take in all the peo-
pie who agree in wanting something
concrete and immediate. The American
Socialist party includes only people
who agree in understanding something
remote and ultimate. It is not a party
of the working class; IL Is a party OF
the theory of the working class. This
fatal weakness Is accentuated by the
origin, and all its Technology and
catch words are alien to our people.
But no matter where the theory orig
inated-and no matter how true IL may
be-you cannot build an effectuaI fight
ing group around. Theoretic thinking
is too MISUNDERSTANDING is too unfver-I
sally subordinated to immediate inter-
ests, for such group to grow great
and have direct impact upon history.
It will remain merely an organ of spe-I
cial education.

SPEAKER
!. A MODEST
CHAMPION
Refuses to Talk About Him
! self-Lauds Ty Cobb and
: Hal Chase.
CBy Associated PressO

& Cleveland, April 19-Tris Speaker,
champion batter of the major leagues,
is something like Ty Cobb when it
comes to talking about his hitting
tprowess-he hasn't a whole lot to say.
= The star Cleveland outfielder, who
-outbatted Cobb last season, has moth
;ing but praise for the celebrated
Georgian and Hal Chase, the first base
wonder of the Cincinnati Nationals.
But when it comes to pinning him
down for a word or two in regard to
his chances of beating Cobb out again
this seasAn, Speaker gives a perfect
Imitation of the we'll known clam.
That is a delicate question:" Iris
said, sparring for words. I've seen
them all, and there's only one Cobb.
7 Il think Hal Chase is likely to lead
the National league again. He is get
ting better as he goes along. One thing
about Chase-he may not get quite as
many safeties on a whole season as
two or three of the best in the Amer
lean league, but he can place ball
better than anybody l ever saw"
z Speaker still is a young man al
though his hair is tinged with gray,
and deep lines are noticeable about
his eyes and forehead. He was born
in Hubbard, Texas, April 4. 1888, so
that makes him just twenty-nine years
old. The noted Texan is insured by the
Cleveland club against accident and
death for an amount reported to be
$4,000.
Speaker began his baseball career
as a pitcher in 1905 with the Cleburn
club OF the Northern Texas league.
Iris says he didn't require the SER
vices, of a wagon to lug off his salary,
Tor all he got was $50 a month.
= Naturally a right handler. Speaker
became a southpaw as result of
fall off a horse. Two bones were frac-
tured in his arm, and before the bones
were fully knit, Speaker had master
ed the left hand delivery.

ANOTHER TOUR
FOR TIGERS and
GIANTS IN 1918
Stormy Trip of Past Train

Teams-Scraps Galore.
NV Associated Press.N

Detroit, April 19.-Despite the fact
that the two squads were as friendly
as a twin cage of wildcats, it is prob.
able that the Detroit Americans and
New York Nationals will stage another
training trip exhibition tour next
spring. The splendid financial and ply
steal (barring the Cobb-HerZog fight
Managers Jennings and McGraw to
approve tentative plans for a trip in
1918.
The teams again will train in Texas
They have definitely abandoned a
proposed California tour and probably
will work north via Houston, New
Orleans, Mobile, Richmond, Baltimore
and possibly Newark.
Last Trip Was Lively.
The training trip of the Detroit
Americans and the New York Ma
tionaI league baseball club, as chron-
icled by sport writers who Travelled
with the squalls, reads like a history
Of fistic warfare.
First, Cobb and Herzog had their
historic fracas. 1t started on the ball
field at Dallas. 1t was finished in a
hotel room that night where the two
stars, stripped of coats and vests,
battled toe to toe until Herzog was
beaten.
Shortstop Fletcher and Outfielder
Heilman became involved in an argu-
Inent that lasted through several
games. At one time they talked about
settling it with their fists but the
battle never took place. deilman
claimed Fletcher tried to spike him in
game at Fort Worth and Fletcher
charged that the Detroiter was any
thing but gentle on the bases. He'll
man outweighs Fletcher by 80 pounds
and is a clever boxer
Later, Heine Zimmerman, the
Giants turbulent third baseman, and
Oscar Stanage, Detroits giant catcher,
engaged in personalities.
Zimmerman was at bat in game
that Stanage caught. Umpire Brennan
called a strike which Heine thought
should have been ball. A bitter argu-
ment followed. 1t is claimed that the
word war ceased when Stanage step
ped up to Zimmerman and whispered:
Cut out that stuff before it's
knocked out of you"
The teams had several long railroad
trips, and Managers Jennings and Nc
Graw quartered their players in sep
arate cars, so that the newspaper men
with both clubs were between them
and formed sort of neutral zone.

Peoria, April 19.-Harry Frazee, one
of the owners of the Boston Americans,
who started his career here as a bell
boy, thinks Boston is due to repeat in
the American league race, and also in
the worlds series.

smartest men in the game. We have
the greatest pitching staff in the
