Publicity is labor's most effective weapon. To get before the great read ing public the true story of labor is always difficult Because of this fact, it is to be. considered a case of good luck to labor that scattered here and there throughout the nation are men who never lose an opportunity to point out the good in life secured by the or ganized labor movement, These men are the history-rnakers for labor.
 Among the labor editors who are a1- ways looking for an opportunity to ad- var.ce the cause of Labor is John P. Frey, editor of the Holders Journal. For years his literary work has been prolific. He also goes into colleges to combat the sophistry of those Drofes- sors of political economy who have tried to corrupt the youth of the land with disloyal teachings.
 As a member and secretary \of the committee on resolutions of the Amer ican Federation of Labor conventions MT. Frey has proved a wise and cap able teacher of what is needed to better the methods of organization. He has been a deep student of the injunction and judicial processes. His advice, be- cause of this knowledge has proved valuable in times when cautious judg- ment is necessary.
 MT. Frey has been one of the most earnest leaders in the agitation for more and better educational opportun- ities for the growing children of the nation. No question requiring the strictest analysis has been too difficult for him to solve

 Labor troubles" multiplied. Generally they were believed to be matters of the pay envelope and the time clock. But the under lying cause in most cases was a consciousness of injustice.
 Labor and capital both suffered. Both called management to account for their troubles.
 Management had to face the facts.
 In plant after plant, today, management is earnestly studying the needs and working conditions of the men inside it's own four walls. The value of human relations in industry is being rediscovered. The principle of the square deal'~ is being applied. The energy of the worker is being developed and guarded. Initiative is rewarded. Promotion beckons.
 What is happening?
 In industry, as with nations, the principle of might is discredited- right is coming into it's own.

THE familiar picture of industrial
 production a century ago, in
 cluded the mill beside the dam, the owners house on the hill and the workmen's homes scattered along the valley.
 Production was on small local scale. There was constant and intimate contact between the owner and his men.
 Then markets opened up-nation- wide worldwide. Production was forced into larger and larger units.
 The little mill spread itself over several acres of buildings, filled with intricate machinery. The valley of scattered homes became a bustling town.
 The man who owned the mill had to call upon friends and strangers for capital to extend his plant. Also, he found he could no longer direct the increasing number of workmen en- gagged.
 So the Corporation was born and management stepped in as a necessary link between those who invested their money and those who invested their labor.
 At first, corporate management was naturally eager to show profits. Too often management considered itself solely the servant of the money invested. Pressure for divi- dends often became the only con sideration.
 Management for dividends only'' made machines of the workers. Managers pushed foremen. Foremen in turn pushed their men for pro-

 The 'tsquare deal" yields more dividends to stockholders, better earnings for men = and growing content for both.
 And finally, enlightened corporate management is developing a character-as distinct as the former Owner Management type but stronger, more dependable and more permanent.
 At Hydraulic, we are working out this responsibility of management for men.
 Every advance we have made has been justified by practical results to our stockholders and to our men (many of whom are themselves becoming stockholders).
 The increasing spirit of initiative and interest on the part of our men is yielding a larger output, with better and more uniform quality. We have been able to hold our men and to attract a bettes class of recruits. All hands arc more contented.
 Our investment in men is more important to us than our investment, in mechanical equipment. Machinery receives expert care and constant attention. What about men?
 
 There is long way yet to go. But our money, our management and our men have linked arms and are going forward to the point where it may fairly be said that Hydraulic is mora than place to work"

JACK DEMPSEY
 IS BOOKED IN NEW YORK TODAY

New York, Aug. 19-Jack Demp- sey, heavyweight champion of the world, is supposed to make his first visit to New York since acquiring his title tonight. He is coming here to shake the hands of old friends and to continue a theatrical tour that is bringing him the cash so fast his head may be turned.
 Dempsey has half way promised to appear at a K. of C-benefit box ing performance to be held at Coney Island tonight. He may be there, but if his record in New York bene- fits is scanned closely not too much stock will be placed in his promise to appear. Dempsey declared that he would help out some ambitious and charitable persons in Salt Lake his home town, and then failed to keep his appointment when the time came. That was only a few weeks ago. He may be as lax here, but we hope not.

Carl Mays Pitches Well for Yankees;
 Errors Beat Him

Cleveland, Aug. 19-Carl Mays is sorry that he ever was sold to the New York Yankees for they kicked away for him yesterday afternoon as pretty a game as he ever hurled in the American League and converted a two-hit sbutout into a one-run de- feat. If Mays had thrown a ball in to the bleachers or a bat into the outfield no one would have blamed him d bit.
 Yes, Ping Bodie added another to his long list of baseball crimes yes terday, and Wilson Fewster, who doesn't often err, aided and abetted him in knocking the props from un- der Mays. It came in the eighth inning. For seven frames Mays had held the Clevelands to one hit, pitch ing Worlds Series ball. In the eighth, O'Nein drew a pass. and Jamieson was put in to run for him. Bagby sacrificed, Baker to Pipp.
 Graney sent a pop fly to Bondie, who gracefully dropped it and Graney took two bases, Jamiesen pulling up at third. Chapman hit a grounder to Fewster that should nave been con- verted into a double play. ending the inning without a score. But Chick Xas too anxious, booted the ball. if rolled out into left field, Jamieson and Graney scored and Chapman took secod while the Yankee infieId- CTS and outfielders were trying to catch Graney at the plate. Speaker then fixed to Wick and Mays threw out Johnson.

Three Golfers Are Tied for HOnOrs in
 National Tourney

Oakmont, Pa, Aug. 19-East, West and No Mans Land, meaning Pitts burgh, the midway city, split first honors three ways in the qualifying round of the National Amateur Golf championship tournament at the OakmOnt Country club yesterday. Paul Tewkesbury, formerly of Bos- ton, but more recently of Philadel- phia: James S. Manion, St. Louis champion, and g. Davidson Heron of the home club pulled up in three cornered tie after 36 holes of play, with a total of 15S each. Bobby Jones of Atlanta dropped in behind them, with 159. All others were over the 160 mark.
 Manion, who was one of the first pair of the day to get away, had a slight advantage on the other pair starting in the afternoon round. For his morning effort he netted a 76, tying with John C.. Anderson of Si- wanoy for the honor of topping the field of 75 at the halfway post. Her ron was but one stroke back of him, with Tewesbury dug in at %.
 After getting away to a rather poor start in the morning the St. Louis playe rsettled down to a steady grind, interrupted by but few misplays.

Pat Moran Signing Up
 Subs For Final Weeks
Cincinnati Manager Knows He Needs Reserv, Strength In Case Anything Happens to
 His Star Players.

Realizing that an Injury to one of
 his star players would be likely to
 wreck his pennant chances at present
 Manager Pat Moran of Cincinnati is
 making desperate efforts to get enough reserve strength so he can keep his club from skidding in case of accident.
 He has kept Gene McCann, his chief scout, chasing around looking for players and it was upon McCann's recommendation that he decided to go after Chief Bender the former Philadelphia pitcher who has been
 mixing a wonderful record with the Richmond, Va, club.
 Moran had his lesson when an in jury to Ootfielder Magee forced him to use a pitcher in the outfield so he
 has since added Pat Duncan and Charley See to his list of outfielders. 1 Duncan came from the Southern ! league and See from Rochester of the
 International. The latter lives in As toria, L. l., and made his reputation | last year as a member of the Morse | Shipyard team.
 The Giants do not believe they have lost the pennant yet although they know it will be a hard task to beat | the Reds, who have a six game lead
 at present. In order to nose out Mo ran's club the Giants would have to win 26 of their remaining 40 games while the Reds would wallop home in
 front if they only took half of their remaining 34 contests. The Giants
 may gain a few points later in the week when they tackle the St. Louis l Oardinals.

Giants Claim They Have Best Outfeld
 in Major Leagues

The Tiger triunVirate---Neach Cobb and Flagstead-may carry an expan- sive edge over the Giant outficld on attack, but New York's entry plucks the palm on defense. Burns is a greater defensive outfielder than Neach ever was or will be. Cobb out shines Kauff, although Benny covers almost as much territory and is more spectacular afield. Young is elected over Flagstead by a safe plurality.
 New Works outfield stands alone in defensive skill. Cleveland with Speaker, Graney, Smith and Wood has as efficient an outfield as Detroit although the Tigers lead on attack Boston with Ruth, Hooper and Roth requires no sympathy whatever. Base ball knows great outfields today, but on defence none tops New York.
 No better outfield play has ever been witnessed than that of Burns, Kauff and Young in the series with the Reds and in the opening game with the Cubs. Not only have they shone in making spectacular catches but-and what is more important their skill in playing rival batsmen, in stationirg themselves where opDos- ing hitters were most likely to click the ball, was exceptional.

FREAK STYLES
 OF DELIVERY
 MAY BE BARRED

New York, Aug. 19.-The shine ball, paraffin and talcum balls and other faeak deliveries may go the way of the festive cocktail and the febrile highbalI if Barney Dreyfus and other club owners have their way next winter.
 Dreyfus contends, and rightly, that trick deliveries are as big an obsta- cle to baseball as was booze to American business, and has set in motion a campaign to have them all cast out.
 Whether he will have the support of the owners of the Giants and Yan- kees is not known definitely, all though it is probable neither will dissent should the other club owners agree to ban the objectionable meth ods of pitching.
 Never perhaps in the history of the sport has there been such wide spread use of trick deliveries as this season. .Pra ctically every club has at least one "shiner'' or "spitter'' who depends entirely upon foreign sub stances to give the ball the essential stuff
 Although the National League has a rule prohibiting such practices, pitchers, and Umpires too, ignore it, with the result that twirlers the cir cult over now are seeking to Outdo one another in devising and perfect ing illegal deliveries. Empires in re- cent games at the Polo Grounds have become arm weary throwing out of play balls defaced by pitchers. In one game no less than six were cast out, having either been roughened oC otherwise "doctOred."

Dan Morgan Says He
 Bet S1,OO0 That Jack
 BrittOn Won't Be Hit

Dumb Dan Morgan, who yields a wicked finger on a typewriter, sends us the following rave about his boxer, Jack Britton:
 "I have just bet s1,OOO even. not stage money, with Walter Burke of the Manhattan Auto Supply Co., that Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion, cannot hit Jack Britton, the welter king, one clean right hand punch in eight rounds when the boys meet on August 22. Britton has not been hit with a right hand punch in the past three years of his boxing. The three most scientific men that ever lived are Jack Britton, James J. Cor bett and Young Griffo of Australia
 Jack BTitton, although he gives away from ten to twenty pounds in every battle, comes out of the contest without a mark. There is no living boxer, or boxing instructor in the world today, that Britton cannot make look foolish. That includes all welterweights, mfddleweights. Iight-heavys. and heavyweights, in cluding Dempsey, whom Britton is willing to box at any time for char ity, fun, or money"

 REAL FIGHTER

New York, Aug. 19-Sam Fitzpat- of fighters, who for the past eight months has been serving the dough- boys for the Knights of Columbus, is back in town, and he is some fif- teen pounds heavier than when he went away. sam brings with him the information that Fred E'alton the elongated heavyweight, whom Tom O'Rourke took to Europe, is going to fight some good man, probably Dick Smith, on the same card with Joe Beckett and Eddie McGoorty, sam says that Beckett is one of the best big men he ever saw in action and predicts that he will give Jack Dempsey plenty of trouble.
 For five months of his stay abroad Fitzpatrick had charge of @ k. of c. club-or hut-at HeimbaCk, Ger many, and once week he conduct ed boxing bouts there. He refereed several bouts. It will be recalled that sam is the man who piloted Jack Johnson to the heavyweight championship. the negro leaving sam flat in Australia after annexlng the title. sam also took Kid Lavigne to London in 1896. when he beat Dick Burge in seventeen rounds. bringing to this country its first worlds light weight title.
 He intends to return to Europe with a string of fighters in a few weeks, as he says that the sport was never so prosperous as it is over there right now.

SAPPER COHAN
 IN WIN OVER MICKEY TRAVERS

wauingrord. Conn. Aug. 1s.---sap- per Conan. Toby owens classy feath- erweight, Vas in great condition last night and gave Mickey Travers of New Haven his long promised beat ing. The star bout was over the eight round route, held in Turner Hall in this city last evening before the larg- est crowd that ever witnessed a box ing exhibition in the City of Ceme- teries.
 Conan had every round but the fifth and that went to the New Haven boxer by shade. Travers' far fam heavy punching had no effect on the Bridgeport battler who took all Mickey had and came back and punched and out-fought Travers from the opening round to the finish.
 Conan used left jab and a right cross to a telling effect and kept Travers off for a while. When Mickey started slugging, Sapper dropped his science and beat the New Haven boy at his own game. The crowd were on their feet most of the time and the boys made such a hit with the local fans that they have been rematched for another eight rouni go September first.

Brooklyn Owner Against Selling Of Star Players
Ebbets Starts Agitation to Have Such Deals Pro-
 hbited in Major Leagues After July l.

New York, Aug. 1s-Charles H. Lbbets, President of the Brooklyn National League Baseball Club, is a strong opponent of the sale of star players, and favors a prohibition against trading players from July l to the close of the season. This was disclosed recently when the Brooklyn magnate made public a teIe- gram he had sent to Boston in reply to an inquiry on his opinion in the matter. In his telegram President Ebbets said:
 Professional basebalPs greatest at tractiveness Is its clean sportsman ship. The public knows the business department of a major league club must be operated on sane business lines, but it does not believe that the playing department should be com merciaJlzed by the barter and sale of star players. That is not clean sports manship; 1t is business sportsman ship. I am opposed to the sale of star players at any time, and favor the prohibition of trading players from July 1 to the close of each sea son."
 Ebbets' view on the matter will meet with the approval of baseball fans in gene ral. The evil of selling or trading players at a later stage of the pennant race is becoming more apparent each year. A few weeks ago there were reports that the Giant had secured Hornsby from the St. Louis Cardinals. If the report had been correct there would have been a howl from other clubs and the fans would have thought that a club like the Giants, with the advantage of a big bankrOll, was buying a pennant.

OUIMET TAKEN
 ILL AND MAY
 NAVE OPERATION

Pittsburgh, Pa. Aug. 19 - After finishing his play in the qualifying round in the United States Amateur Championship yesterday afternoon, Francis Ouimet, former open and amateur champion golfer of America, collapsed and had to he put to bed in the Oakmont Country club house. A physician was immediately called from Pittsburgh.
 At a late hour last evening it was stated that Ouimet's chances of re- suming play today were slim and that he would probably have to undergo an operation for tonsilitis before re- turning to his home in Boston. Three times during the last nine holes of play did the former champion verge or collapse. The round was finished on nerve alone.
 "I will play" Ouimet muttered as he lay on his bed in the club house. There is little hope that he will be able to make his word good.

Name Legion Post After Godfrey, Old
 Basketball Star

The naming of the Norwalk post of the American Legion of Honor as Frank c. Godfrey Post unani- mously voted at a large meeting in that city last night. is a tribute to one of the country's finest soldiers who-gave his life in battle at Soissons.
 Godfrey, of the regular army and National Guard fame. was a second lieutenant of Coast Artillery in the Connecticut Coast Artillery when war was declared. But he yearned for action and he resigned his com mission to enlist in the 1O2nd In fantry of the Yankee Division. In France he was commissioned and with a week after completing his course, met heroic death while lead- chine gun nests.
 Godfrey in civil life was interested in tho promotion of clean sports and while of such a retiring disposition that he was often unrecognizedS his influence was none the less a big fac tor wherever hew as concerned.
 He developed team after team of baseball and basketball stars for the Norwalk High school and quintet which he trained and sent out for the seasons of 19O9-10-11, easily won the Connecticut Scholastic Champion ship and defeated a number of very strong out of the state fives. When Godfrey, because of school interfHr- ence. no longer trained the team he real role he filled became more ap- parent for the five passed quickly in- to the class of the mediocre enroute to its end which came soon after.
 He was head of the semi-profes- sional basketball in Norwalk and his sound judgment and Knowledge of the game produced for Norwalk a team that won the Connecticut champion ship in 1916-1917 after counting out the Blue Ribbons of Bridgeport and Leonard's famous Danbury five. But more important than the development of the game itself. was the manner in which 1t was conducted and this accounted for the unqualified public approval which made Norwalk one of the best basketball cities of this sec tion of the country.
 Godfrey was well known in basket bail circles in Bridgeport and the honor accorded his memory will give satisfaction to a host of admirers hers.
