Games for a Thin
Dime.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 90
Fifteen.cent baseball for kids meets
with the approval of the Pacific Coast
league.
Each and every club owner of the
big western circuit placed himself on
record as favoring cheap admission
price for boys under II years of age
at the recent annual meeting of the
directors. They unanimously adopt
ed q resolution to admit all boys free
at least twice weekly and charge them
only 10 cents on other days, including
Saturdays and Sundays.
Manager Charley Graham, of San
Francisco, as practical q baseball man
as there is in the minors, agrees with
Business Manager Bobby Quinn, of st.
Louis, who regards the youngsters of
today the fans of tomorrow.

Graham stated, "and l believe all fol-
lowers of the game became attached
to baseball when they are boys.

to lose heart and even when the home

VIM. H. Mccarthy, newly elected
president of the league, regards the
youngsters who attend the games on
kids Day" as the biggest boosters for
the game in the west.
They tell their parents and their
older relatives about the games at the
dinner table," Mccarthy states, "anu

.BR|TISHER'S VIEW
Of LEN|NE'S WORK
Churchill Replies to Appeal to
English People by
Soviet Ruler.

London, July 25-The Russian Soviet
Government, through Nikolai Lenine,
seeks ITO start the British nation off on that
same career of revolutionary violence
which has made Russia such q jolly place
to live in," Winston Churchill, Minister
of War, declared in an article published
in The Evening News answering a report
by British labor delegation which visit
ed Russia and a letter directed to the
British people by Lenine.
Should the Soviet system be establish
ed in England, the War Minister believes
that not only would freedom of the press
and freedom of thought be swept away,
but the English labor headers themselves
would "share the fate of Kerensky, the
Mensheviks and social rcvolntionaries in
Russia"
The War Minister charged Lcnine with
having ruined his own country, and
said it was natural he should wish ITO
have all other nations reduced to the
same level of misery, in order that his
own carnage may be covered in the general
chaos"
Russia was on the threshold Of vio-
tory," wrote Mr.. Churchill "After all
her struggles she was within reach of
the goal. The Germans sent in Lenine,
der, and he robbed her of the victory
she had all but won, and>which she might
have shared with us.
"A million Germans, released by his
act of treachery, were let loose on the
French and British fronts, and nearly
that number of British and French sol
diers are dead or mutilated in conse-
quence. Instead of victory he gave Russia
shame and immeasurable disaster.

He had the bulk of its members hunted

what has he given them in exchange7
Russia, the great food-producing centre
of the world, wracked with famine: the
towns depopuiated TO half theft numbers:
the workmen scattered. destroyed and the
rest cowed or demoralized: hundreds OF
thousands of people driven TO the woods
and mountains to form Green Guards,

sinking hopelessly into absolute stagnation.
"Only the peasant with his rife in
his village guards the hard-worn prod

money. and keeps alive the old Russian
love Of hearth and home. The egoism OF
the peasant says Lenine, must now be
broken
This, th en-, is the man whom the crazy
portion of the Socialist Party has been
worshipping He has now revealed his

DEFEAT OF GROhNA
Non-Partisan League m North
west Seems to Have Dagger
Ready.

Wash ington, July 13-Leaders of the
Old Guard of the G. O. P. here are worried
no little by the defeat of u. S. Senator
A. J. Gronna of North Dakota by T.. +.
Iladd, president of the State College of
Agriculture Ladd was the candidate of
the Non-Partisan League and is ''boaring
from within" the Republican organization,
it is thought
The overthrow Of Gronna in North
Dakota is like that of Representative
Volstead in Minnesota, and IN general the
activities of the Non-Partisan League IN
the Northwestern States seem ominous
for the Republican party. In Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North and South Dakota,
Washington and Idaho the league will
draw support from radical elements that
have affiliated with the Republican orgsni-
zations in the past.
The loss of Mr.. Gronna, unless it can
he made up, would deprive the Senate
Republicans of their majority, and Chair
man Will II. Hays Is cooperating with
the Congressional Campaign Committee
for an intensive campaign for Congress
sional candidates in doubtful States and
districts. Fearing the loss of their ma
joriues IN Congress, the Republican
leaders are planning one-man leader

tive Fess of Ohio is chairman, will be dis

Republican hope to increase their

attention to Kentucky, California. Idaho,

The Republicans also express strong
confidence as TO position in Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,

Republican leaders fear that Senator

good. His close relations with the Non

partisans. With La Toilette out OF line
the Penrose-Smoot leadership of the
Senate could not be held together against
