AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS.

Bernard G. Richards, secretary Of
the American Jewish Congress has
made public a cablegram received
from Mr.. Leo Motzkin, General Secre-
tary of the Committee of Jewish Del
egations in Paris, giving further cor
roborative details Of the anti-Semitic
atrocities in the Ukraine. In the last
seven months, according to the dis
patch, pogroms have been raging in
more than hundred towns, and the
number Of victims is in the thousands.
In many towns the entire Jewish popu-
lation was massacred. Complete dis
order reigns, and the martyrdom and
the fortunes to which the Jews were
subjected are heart breaking and ter
rible. The number Of killed may be
placed at 10000. The dispatch states
further that the Ukrainan represent
atives in Paris admit the occurrence Of
the pogroms. Although the Ukrainian
Delegation in Paris states that it will
endeavor to prevent further outrages,
there is danger that Ukrainian Jewry
will be annihilated. The Committee Of
Jewish Delegations at the Peace Con-
ference urges the necessity Of sending
a large relief commission into the
Ukraine. II points out that the pres

be presented at the Zionist Conven-
ton to be held in Chicago:
Whereas, all Zionist work, propa-
ganda, education and junior work, has
been entirely neglected during the
past year since the new district plan
has been introduced, for the following
reasons:
1. Because, since the state organiza-
ton has been dissolved, all activities
in the interest of Zionism either local
ly or in the state, have been entirely
suspended and all the leaders through
out the state have been compelled to
discontinue work in the advancement
of the Zionist cause.
2. Because the controlling interests
and the fact that all power that pre-
viously has been lodged in the local
organization was taken away and
centralized in the head organization in
New York.
3 Because the New York office
has taken unto iteslf all the privileges
in the way of appointing local leaders,
irrespective of the fact that the people
locally know better who are fit and
able to be leaders in the Zionist move
ment.
Be it therefore resolved that the
Texas State Organization be re-es-
tablished as body representing Zion
ist activities in Texas, financially and
intellectually.
Be it further resolved that the Tex
as State Organization, by due power
vested in it, should have the power Of
electing its own leaders and represen-
tatives.
Be it further resolved that the
above resolutions be forwarded to all
districts in Texas for ratification.
And, be it further resolved. that all
delegates and leaders of Zionist Dis
tricts in Texas, be requested to con-
vene before the Chicago Convention
Of the Zionist Organization takes
place, at the time and place decided
by the majority, to devise plans to
bring about the realization and due ex-
ecution Of the above mentioned resolu-
tions by presenting them before the
Chicago Convention in the name OF
all the Zionist Districts of Texas.

MARION WINS FROM
 BIRMINGHAM ALUMNI

Marion, September 21.--(Special) The Marion institute football team yesterday defeated the Birmingham alumni in the first game of the season by the score of 14 to 0. A large ani enthusiastic crowd was int attendance and saw a game well played. but with many evidences of inexperience on the part of the local team. The coaches, after seeing the team In action for the first time. are now in a much better position than before to correct the shortcomings of the team as q whole and the individual defects of each player Major Clarkson. director Of athletics. now has information with which he can start in earnest rounding out and developing his team.
 Among the visiting team were number of figures familiar to football fans in this section, Douglass Streit, c. Drennen and H. Drennen of the Marion '1s and IT team; Bandy. Carr. Curby. Daniels and Long. and all showed at times their old mettle. With the visitors. individual work was at times above reproach, but their team work was poor. It took no experi- enced critic to see that these men had not devoted much time in preparation for the contest. There were frequent calls for time and breathing spells.
 The local team played as well on the offensive as could be expected. in view of the fact that many of them were raw material. Added to this. the extremely hot sun took its toll of wind and energy without pity.

Reds Have Assured Them selves of Participation in the World Series.
 Indians Win

New York, September 2i.-One victory in it's five remaining contests will clinch the American league pennant for Chi cago, while Cincinnati assured itself of the National league flag and participa ton in the worlds series by vanquishing New York, its nearest rival twice last week. The Cleveland Americans. who are four games behind the leaders. have won 10 straight games, but single de- feat will eliminate them from the race.
 Except for the fight between Detroit and New York for third place in the American league, no change is expected in the standing of the teams in the two leagues.

McMullins only extra base hit was two-bagger off Shawkey.
 McMullin is more likely to appear in the worlds series than Smith. For that reason. it is we'll to remember that while he can fill the gap anywhere in the infield, he is not fast He is slower than any White Sox regular with the exception of Gandil and Schalk.
 He has this advantage over the Gin cinnati fielders-which is possessed by all the Chicago infielders-he is not the phlegmaitc type. -[He is an ex- ceptionally smart player, and a quick thinker.

He is twice the menace he was at bat in previous years, and in addition he has added quick thinking to his repertoire due undoubtedly to the tutoring of Ed die Collins.
 Risberg is big and strong. He fights all the way. And iE addition to being big and strong, he is fast and ener- getic. He is an exceptionally strong and accurate thrower.
 He has a perfect position at the plate a fine swing and naturally is one of the slashing type hitters. He if learning how to gauge the sharp curves and the slow ones, and no one need be surprised if he breaks up one or more of the worlds series games.
 Risberg is a valuable aide in dout> plays. He pivots like shot, He work perfectly with Eddie Collins in break ing up the double steal This IS his third year with the club. He tlts right handed, but hits the ball to all fields In spite of his showing this season against the five key pitchers, the bat ting averages based on all games so fai show that Kopf is a better hitter than Risberg.

 The fight was over right then and there
 After Saylor had recovered, he let out yell of fluke- And the audience insisted that the punch that beat him was lucky one. So did the sport writers All of them decided that Whites triumph was the result of a chance swing-a fluke punch that went home.
 "'Get him for me again. said White. He thought he was better than I am after the first fight. Now he claims that 1 won on fluke. I want to con vince that bird
 "A few weeks later a Cincinnati pro- moter angled for a match between Say Tor and White. The terms were good and I accepted. The fight was staged in the ball park. before a huge crowd. As was the case in Boston, the folks anticipated plenty of action and a terrific encounter But it was disap- pointed.

 "An hour or so later, Charlie met Milburn as they were coming out of their respective dressing rooms. Saylor had a big bunch of cotton batting and court plaster strips over his nose. And he looked rather sick But, just the same, he rushed over to Charlie and grabbe dhs hand and said
 Say Charlie, listen. When you knocked me out the first time thought it was fluke. Maybe l think this one was a fluke. too. But I'll say that 1 can't fight you any more. You're too darned flukey for me-
