its object the Identification of Jews as

retort that the government policy is
making potential revolutionaries of
these people. If the Polish govern

secure the support of the most con-

ask is to be allowed to live in peace

men to one for the reduction of the
Jewish population as a whole. This
proposition is fraught with a danger
not confined to the Jews; it is dan
ger to the State. To render the condi-
tons Of life so intolerably to the Jew
as to force him to leave his native
country, has ever been followed by
disastrous consequences to the coun-
try, where this form of persecution
has been assayed; whereas in every
country, where the Jew has been
granted an effective citizenship he
has proved himself mainstay Of law
and order. The Jew has usually so
much to lose through the consequences
of disorder that he ranges himself in
stinctively on the side of good govern
ment. 1t is for the Poles to choose
whether they will follow the example
of Great Britain, the United States
Of America, France, Holland, Italy and
the other liberal-minded States which
have treated the Jews equitably, or
link their fate with ancient Egypt,
medieval Spain and modern Russia.
1t must further be considered that
when the Jew is driven out, his capt.
tai is driven out with him. In fact, in
most cases it precedes him, for the
poor and helpless Jew is not the first
to leave in face of economic persecu-
ton such as a boycott or the fear of
personal safety, but rather he who
possesses the means to seek happier
conditions of livelihood elsewhere.

Expects To Run
 Away With Game
Coach Hunt Says - His Charges Will Have Easy
 Time Next Sunday

Though Erwig. the famous Rutgers back, has not yet put in an appear ance and there seems to be some doubt whether he ever will, neither Manager Briggs nor Coach Hunt of the American Chain football team are worrying. They will have a new fu1lback on hand for Sundays game and both declare that he is man who will set a pace for all other back field men in the state. His name will not be divulged until Saturday morn- ing.
 Coach Hunt put the squad through stiff scrimmage last night and was imme nsely pleased with the results shown. George Moshier, out of last Sundays game, was back in place and gives promise of being as good as ever.
 'tIf the team displays anythink like the form it promised last night, can't see where the Glees have a chance,' Coach Hunt said after the scrimmage. "The boys are all workin g together good. We have the material and barring the worst kind of tough luck we should make a runaway of the game,

from Jack Dempsey who could give Mister Carpenter a nice evenings s entertainment. There's Gene Tun- ney, for instance. And there's Billy Miske, Tommy Gibbons, Mike ODowd, who wants to step out of the middleweight class long enough to take a crack at the French heavy weight champion, and Leo P. Flynn $ rough and ready and always willing sey knocked Brennan kicking in seven rounds, but anybody who can stick around the same arena with Jack Dempsey that long would be a good trial horse for theE aforesaid MT. Carpenter.
 Georges reckons he don't know just what he's going to do. His man ager, Descamps, reminds us that according to Georges contract with Charles Cochran, Georges must not even think about a battle with MT. Dempsey until after the first of the year, unless he thinks in MT. Coch- rams presence. Oh, no; Georges must not discuss such a thing. It's a, breach of contract.
 So there is nothing for Georges to do now but be a perfect little gent of leisure or keep in shape, by set ting some of the boys we have men tioned on their ears. If Georges can set 'em on their ears well and good. They are all willing to be shown. : Meanwhile, the boxing public at about Georges. The public would like to see Georges meet variety of Americans. He may be almost as good as Descamps contends, but so far he has been in hiding.

 New York. Oct. 2O.-Baseba1l is facing the gravest crisis in history to- day.
 With the magnates split into two factions and the gauntlet virtually flung down by both sides, there is bound to be an upheaval that will either wreck or save the game.
 The eleven nlagnates who met in Chicago are in deadly earnest. They are not bluffng.
 They will do just as they said they would do if the defiant five' fail to come over.
 The Johnson faction has three courses open to it. It can join hands with the eleven who stand solidly ar rayed for the formation of new government for baseball; it can form a league of it's own or it can get out of baseball.
 What is the Johnson faction goinI. to do? The answer will come some time next week when Big Ban and his colleagues meet in St. Louis.
 A good many baseball men believe that there will be break in the ranks of the faithful five" or that the granting of some concessions by them will result in all of the mag mates getting together. But if this is the outcome Johnson himself will have no voice in the patching up of differences. The progressive faction is firm in it's purpose and will not be dictated to by the erstwhile dictator of the National Commission.
 Johnson Finished.
 Johnson is as good as through. This is the belief of the big majority of baseball men. He has his friends, it is true, but sentiment will scarcely prove strong enough to influence Phil Ball, Connie Mack or any of

F ssWant Carpentier
 To Meet Other Heavies

New York, Oct. 2O-Georges Car pentier hasn't satisfied the critics.
 The dapper Frenchman beat the veteran Bat Levinsky in something more than three rounds but the boys back here will tell you he might just as well have beaten a carpet. How come?
 Simply because Battler didn't t bring Carpenter out. He wasn't t even a good punching bag, because he didn't flop back at the French man after being hit, and he didn't t furnish enough opposition to force Georges to uncover his bagGof tricks. Fact is, Georges was wide open like door all the time he was stepping about Levinsky.
 After the fight a lot of people be- mebbe Bat had found something un- der his pillow. Others figured it was the worst kind of a misnatch, and still others doped it out that what the batt1er found was an all too caressing French fist directly under his lower maXillary that persuaded him to flop the minute he saw a soft spot.
 At any rate, the Batt1er went down. He took the count and every one who was at the ringside vouches for the fact that he didn't look like a man who was out. So he failed to furnish the opposition that must be furnished if Georges is ito show his wares, and the fistic fans are yelling for more action from MT. Car pentier.
 Several Good Prospects.

 Loughin Match In Hartford

Hugh Rorty, one of the promoters of the Liberty A. c. of Hartford and referee of the Polo games at the Cas slno last night, says Louie Bogash gave the Hartford club raw deal In refusing to go through with his bout with K. O. Loughlin in Hart ford several nights ago. Rorty says Bogakh saw him at noon on the day he refused to go through with the match and Bogash asked for dozen ringside seats to be used by his friends
 Everything seemed to be all right then, said Rorty, but something hap pened in the afternoon and Bogash left Hartford saying he was not going through with the bout. As far as training quarters were concerned said Rorty, there wasn't any place for Bogash to train and Joe Smith manager of Bogash, was so informed over the telephone before Bogash ever appeared in Hartford.
 We didn't want Bogash to be in Hartford two or three days before the bout" said Rorty, because Hart ford fans know Bogash and they

Ehe eleven magnates who are ar rayed against Johnson have the up- per hand they control .three-fourths of the capital involved in the game and in a baseball crisis such as the present one, money speaks with a bass voice. Furthermore these mag mates control the two most important cities in the major 1eagues-in New York and Chicago-and Johnson and his supporters will go up against a hopeless task if they attempt to run a league in opposition to the proposed twelve-c1ub circuit.
 Johnson was the guiding spirit in the war of 1900' and he came, off victorious because at that time there was room for a second major league and Johnson had Comiskey on his side. Then too, he was assured of a Johnson faction would find no such layout waiting for them.

 It. would be impossible for the Johnson faction to break into New York. They might attempt to put a club in Chicago and they might in- wade Toronto but their prospects of
 going it alone would be anything but There are other reasons why it is
 generally believed that the storm will not toppIe baseball from it's founda- tion completely.
 With a big split up, for instance. the worlds series, which has become
 an institution, would be out of the question. With war on, player con-
