DAVE DAVENPORT'S
ESCAPE MARVELLOUS
Star Pitcher Surprises Fans
by Appearing In Browns
Uniform Today
BY H. g. Hamilton


In1IGu IfeSS SbdII correspondent
New York, April 2l.-Dave Daven-
port, burly pitcher of the Browns, is
wearing a Brownie uniform today to
the surprise of several hundred thous
and fans, who expected to mourn the
death of one of the game Is iron mon
when they read that he had dropped =
gun and received a wound in his huge
frame above the waist.
Perfect physical condition probably
has helped him out considerably, for
he declared few days ago that he
would be ready to help Fielder Jones
team this year just as much as ever.
That statement probably is stretch
ing it a little, for there are few men
who can receive the wound that Dav-
export did and live to tell about it. He
can hardly be just as good as ever
Davenport is weak and he walks with
a limp. but the news that he was go
ing to take a whirl at baseball again
this summer was considerably encour-
aging to the Browns.
1t is possible Davenport will carry
the marks of his accident all his life.
He can t move his body in the long,
swinging motion essential to pitching.
He can t open his mouth to its full
extent because he received part Of the
charge Of shot in his chin. Outside of
that he = nearly all right. The wound
didn't hurt his heart any. The grit
that carried him through a double head
er last summer is still there. If he can
pitch with anything like his former
form the Browns will be much more
dangerous than anyone has expected.

HAVE WON
ONE GAME OF SEVEN
Experts With Lead Pencils
Had Figured Them Out As
Sure Winners
BY II. @. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent.)
New York, April 2l.-The upset of
the Brooklyn champions of the Ma
tional league, undoubted just now, is
one of the things left in baseball to-
prove that dope has place in the sun.
Beginning with Philadelphia. then
taking ON the Giants and stepping back
again to the Phillies, the Dodgers have
managed to win just one baseball game
out of seven. That game was pried off
the Giants through the pitching of Jack
Coombs, the only man who could hold
the Red Sox in check when the Dodgers
and Bostonese elashed for the world Is
title last fall.
All through the winter it has been
figured from various angles that the
baseball club-perhaps. The Braves,
Phillies and Giants have been called
stronger The effort of a pencil and a
small piece of paper was enough to
show that championship qualities did
not hold forth in the city across the
bridge.
/ 1t has been pointed out that the
! Dodger pitching staff is only fair, the
infield passable and the outfield no
stronger than that Of any other Nation
! al league club. There is a star or so
drawing his payeheek from Colonel Eb-
bets. Jake Daubert and Zach Wheat
would grace anybody's baseball club.
But there il ends
The collapse so fan has been complete.
The Dodgers may revive. The arithe-
matical result proves they should whip
some one. But ON present indications
the Brooklyn entry will have to perform
some better than it has so far to main

PATRIOTISM.

The Jews of this country are re-
spending to the call of our govern
ment with the same patriotic eager
ness and enthusiasm as all other
groups Of our population. We yield
to none in loyalty and love of country.
In fact, we probably appreciate the
blessings of democracy better than
many other groups, since we have suf-
fered more and longer than others
from the curse of tyranny.
We are convinced that our govern
ment has entered upon this war with
the best of motives; that it wishes to
secure justice and democracy for the
world; to put an end to all war bv
once for all breaking the power of
militarism. We are, therefore, ready
to assume all the burdens, and to
make all the sacrifices, in equal mea-
sure with all other groups, which our
entry into the war requires. We realize
that at time like this our government
should receive the wholehearted sup
port of all citizens; that criticism and
fault-finding are acts that border on
disloyalty.
And yet, we somehow feel that our

government could do a great deal
more to evoke the enthusiastic patrio-
tism of all the people than it has so
far done. 1t could and should break
the power that monopoly uses to OPP
press and crush the people. It could
and should take full control of Our
national wealth, use it for it's own
military purposes, and to meet the
needs of the people for the necessar-
les of life without subjecting them
to the heavy tax that monopoly i'm
poses.
Our President has warned our COM
mercial interests to avoid the temp
tation of combining patriotism with
profits. But modern commercialism
needs more than warming It needs
the strong restraining hand to insure
it against it's own weakness. And it's
weakness is such that others suffer
from it's consequences. Let this ma
ton, while fighting for world-demo-
cracy, for the integrity of the smaller
and weaker nations, not overlook the
great opportunity offered it to estab-
fish economic justice and freedom in
our own land, and to secure the con-
tentment and happiness of all Our citi-
zens. This, too, is patriotism, and of
as high an order as that which brings
the heaviest sacrifices in the battle
field.

EDQ 7 ORlAL
A DEEP-ROOTED FEELING.

A DEEP-KOOIED FEELING.
The recent revolution has brought
the ardently-hoped for emancipation
to the Jews of Russia. The over
throw of the old regime meant the
removal of all disabilities and all re-
strictions, political and legal, from the
denizens of the Pale. The Pale it
self, the most Ubiquitous and most gal
ling form of oppression, the practi
cal Imprisonment of six million hui
man beings, has been abolished.
The Russian revolution has done
for our people what every revolution
has done for them, beginning with
the French. The policy of the tyran-
mic power of church and state has al
ways been to hold the Jews in sub
lection; to degrade and to huniliate
them, and to deprive them even of
the most fundamental human rights.
The liberal elements of the nation,
who are themselves chatting under
the oppressive yoke of despotism,
naturally sympathize with all the OPP
pressed, and are resolved to do them
justice when the power of the tyrant
is broken. They are not slow in
carrying their resolves into practice.
And as long as they remain in power
the political liberty and equality of
the Jews are secure.
