STRIKES IN AiRPLASE
WORKS pITIFCL FAILURE

was amazed 10 witness one such
strike in the government airplan
works near Berlin.
For two days the strike amongs
the Unsh!!!sd workers was carried on
and a slight support by one or two
powerful trade unions would have ac-
com plish:d tho desired result.
However. the trade unions Of Berlin
openly discountcaanccd the strike.
Willie the Socialist party leaders sud
denly became passive. The prime
movers OF the strike suddenly disap-
pcared. about a thousand strikers were
put under arrest number of them
were forced into uniforms and the re-
naming unfortunates We're forced TO
accept the government terms after pay
ms zines.
This ha. been the sad fato OF all
such strikes in Germany since the
war.
And at this time lot nc make this
observation:
ON the day returned to Zurich !!

Zurich newspapers. and no.cc, that the
German news agency which sent out
certain report CT q serious strike in
maSniticd the extent OF that strike
Unless enc is familiar with the ways
aud methods in Germany Of tho rulers
he would lind himself at a loss to know
why these certain strikes that took
place in Germany We're so magnired
The motive is deep one
The rulers of Germany are constant
~ telling the German people deliberat e
falselIoods. Often they are caught with
these falsehoods. by some one circu-
larisinS news that appears in enemy or
neutral newspapers, that contradict the
government "infornatt1n.' For that
reason the German government contin-
uously sends out false reports and
when such news is printed in the ncu-
trail or enemy newspapers, the authori-
ties compel. through many influences,
certain newspapers to reproduce them,
labelling them as having originated
outside of Germany. The natural con-
ciusion is that the German people doubt
equally the truthfulness Of all news
papers. foreign or domestic.
I found tho people in Germany dis
gusted with ali newspapers. People
constantly came ID me asking for in
formation. and whenever l quoted them

reputable the paper quoted. they
shouted in disgust: Tell us what YOU

The very sad result is that people

have been Systematically confusing the
foreign observers.

In many cases the authorities even
helped the would-be observer TO see

able in many industrial ccnters. Then
they would personally conduct other
observers to see and feel for themselves

Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-06-26

Every now and then during a
big league baseball season there
creeps into the accounts of the sea-
sons activities the subtle. disorganiz-
ing influence, which for want Of bet
ter name has been labelled a jinx.
1t may follow a baseball club, or 1t
may roost. like the Old Man Of the
Sea on the shoulders of an individual
player.
It's dollars to dog biscuits that you
couldn't make Claude Cooper, star
southpaw of the National League, be-
lieve that he isn't being pursued by
the king of all the 1inxes, and it
wouldn't be an easy matter to con-
vince Stan Coveleskie of the Cleve-
land club, of the same thing. Eddie
Cicotte had a similar experience earl
Ter in the season.
Cooper, for instance, has been try
ing to win ball game since May 26.
He's tried pretty hard. too. One day
he even went out and pitched a one
hit game. hoping to shake off old man
5inx off his shoulders. but he was
beaten.
Jinx! Jinx! Jinxi
Cooper started out in May by hold
Ing the Boston club to five hits. His
own club got nine of Nehf, but Pitts
burg lost 2 to 1.
In his next start Cooper again al
lowed f1ve hits against New York, but
Perritt only gave the Pirates three
and Cooper was beaten 2 to 0. In
another start against New York Coop
er doled out seven bingles and New
York won again while the Pirates
were collecting q quintet of hits Off
Demaree.
Cooper then decided to show a little
effectiveness and held the Brooklyn
club to two hits but lost his game 2
to 0, although Grimes allowed nine
hits. Figuring that 1t didn't make
much difference how many hits he al
Boston have Is and again lost, al
though Rudolph allowed ~ hits HIM
self.
Then Cooper went up against his
heartbreaker. He held Philadelphia
to one hit and lost l to 0. Hogg let
ting the Pirates hit safely nine times,
Is there such a thing as a baseball
jinx? Ask Cooper, he knows.

The Wheelers of Roosevelt con-

The Wheelers slugged the ball to

Early In the game 1t became evil

in the first three innings. The slug

GIANTS C|NCH?
GUESS AGAIN
Inroads by Draft Big Factor in
Averting Runaway by
Gotham Team

When the 1918 baseball season
opened it was figured by a great many
critics and by practically all the Ma
tional League fans that the Giants
would run away with the pennant In
the older major league.
That the McGraw aggregation will
not do that and never figured to do
it, considering the matter from every
angle. Is quite apparent now, with
Benny Kauff, Rube Benton and jess
Barnes IN the army.
John McGraw wasn't one OF those
who believed the Giants would have
celebration on their road to another
worlds series He fortified himself
against the possibility Of heavy losses
when he declined to be drawn into a
plan to help other clubs. He knew
that to send player or 30 to another
club would leave him very badly Grip
pied when the time came for him to
part with some Of his eligibles for the
army.
McGraw now will be forced to al
ternate with Jim Thorpe and Joe Will
holt in the outfield to fill the place
left vacant by Benny Kauff, unless the
unbelievable happens and Dave Rob-
ertson takes his place in the lineup
again. In that event Ross Young
probably would be shifted to center
field, leaving Dave to patrol his old
position In right field.
OF the two others Thorpe undoubt-
edly Is the better man, either against
right or left hand pitching. After ex-
perimenting with Wilhoit when right
handlers are opposing the Giants Nc
Graw probably will decide to give
Thorpe the thorough trial he so richly
deserves. It may be, even, that Thorpe
will perform creditably enough to fill
the shoes Of Kauff.

Well, Mike Is Back Alright

We are going to hang out ou

Now the question is: Can Mike
