Eastern League Fan Chatter

Dick Loftus had an opportunity to rningle with the grandstand bugs" yesterday. Loftus is pretty much broke up over his mishap which will keep him out of the game for two weeks. Dick is one of those fellows who likes to play the game and the chances are he will not be register ing kicks over riding in upper berths or on the grub when he reaches the big show. Loftus is a big favorite with fans who are sorry to see him forced out of the game when he was going at top speed, and starting to hit the ball But that's baseball luck.

Is Bogash Afraid?
 With local fight circles all wrought up by the offer made the two local fighters by Connie Lewis, sports are wondering whether Smith and Bogash are afarid to meet Delaney.
 Bridgeport is the logical place for a bout between these two local boys, and the Saturday afternoon before Labor Day is an ideal date for the setto. Unless the match is made local fans will be forced to lean back and believe there's a white feather somewhere. Bouts on that date with Bogash and Delaney as the headl1n- CTS would be the assurance Of a mon ster crowd, and Smiths claims that the pair could draw more money elsewhere appear to be ridiculous
 Both boxers would experience little trouble in agreeing to a. 16O-pouno weight limit. The Bridgeport boxing public is entitled to the match and there should be no dilly daliylnS among local managers. With Smith s hands apparently tied by BogaSh' Jennings on the other hand asserts that he is willing to get into confer ence with Connie Lewis and the Bo- gash crowd on a minutes notice to clinch the match.
 Connie Lewis is also ready to talk business. Its time for Bogash ana Smith to make a showdown or put a soft pedal on this champ1onshlp stuff," declared Lewis.

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
WHAT BANDHOLTz RECON-
MEEpS
From the Wheeling IntelIiaencer)

(From the Wheeling Intelligencer)
West Virginia should heed the
words Of rigadier-General H. H.
Bandholtz, in command of the feder-
al troops sent into West Virginia
in connection with the recent dsor-
ders. General Bandholtz has made
strong plea for the complete re-
organization Of the companies OF
the national guard to which this
state is entitled. The work has been
begun by Adjutant General Char
mock.
Under the new Defense act pas
sed by congress, West Virginia is
in the Fifth corps area, the other
states in this area being Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky This Defense
act contemplates the reduction Of
the regular army to a minimum and
the considerable expansion of the
national guard. By its provisions,
the federal government defrays the
entire expense connected with the
new national guard organization, IN
Guiding allowances for officers and
men. The only requirement is that
the various states provide quarters
for the companies. The legislation
necessary to conform to this nation
al act was passed at the last ses-
sion of our legislature. All that is
now necessary is to go ahead and
organize.
Under the conditions the need
for a national guard is rather great
er in West Virginia than in most
other states. To have our own for
ces to maintain order would spare
lis the undesirable spotlight turned
upon any state that calls for feder-
al troops. 1t is true that most West
Virginians hope for legislation that
will remove at least one great cause
Of our troubles, but the national
guard in addition to our state con-
stabulary, there will be not the
slightest excuse for the use of eth
er private Or federal forces in West
Virginia. Besides its services in pre-
serving order, the guard serves a
splendid purpose in affOrding mill
tary training to a considerable num-
Der of young Americans Not only
do these young men acquire valu-
able knowledge, but they receive the
best physical training.
incidentally. General Bandholtz
believes that West Virginians are
pretty good people, despite their
belligerent name. Evidently the
general is not one Of those individ-
uals prone to go into Mysteries over
a little disorder. His national guard
suggestion should be foMowed.

monstrous miseonception of a Jew
basic facts.
Hostile propaganda has had its I,
poisoning effect throughout the
country Wrong premises are at the
bottom Of almost every public dis
cussion outside the state of West
virginia's trouble. What are the
true premises, ignorance Of which
has caused such wide spread and
grievously unjust censure OF West
Virginia abroad? Here they are
cold matters Of fact-stated without
prejudice: :
/. After the national guard regi-
ments were nationalized in 1917,
West Virginia had no militia up to
the time the instruction of last
month began. The legislative Get
authorizing a new national guard
became effective only on July %,
1921.
2. The state constabulary is a
new organization, the creation of
which was almost defeated by the
influence OF the United Mine Work
ers. 1t consists OF only two hundred
men. 1t lacks experience, but many
citizens believe it will soon be-
come much more effective.
3. Private mine guards have not
been employed by operators for
more than year.
4. Deputy sheriffs in many cases
are paid by the operators The prin-l
cipal counties affected by the labor
disturbances do not and will notI
support the necessary number of
deputy shetiffs in West Virginia, as
rule, are peace officers only in
name. Their principal functions are
those Of collecting taxes and sarv.
ing processes. Public opinion in
many communities is controlled by|
the preponder.ng miner population.
5. The miners who were in in.|
suFrection expressed just as much
hostility toward the national guardY
organizations and the states conf
ST abulary force as they do toward
deputy sheriffs and private mine
guards.
6. Unemployment was not con-
spicuoGs factor in the recent rebel1'
lion. Men in the union fields arg

full time, but their wages are yery1

an hour for common labor-andv
thousands Of them left jobs Gin vio-|
lation CT union contracts) to join|
the insurrection with the avowed|
purpose of unionizing coal fields att
long distances from their own
places Of employment.
Z. The new national guard is bel
ing recruited rapidly in all the cit,1
les. There was no national guard,l
owing to the failure of SUCCESSIVE
legislatures TO authorize one, whenl
the governor Of West Virginia ask
ed for federal assistance.
Every one OF these basic facts hasl
been ignored in many Of the public|
discussions outside the state re-l
