'In the light of what has happened

ment has been fully demonstrated

quite clear to US that the success OF

cRAcioUSI WHAT'S THiS7
NOTED UNION Halter HAS
SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART

The New York Times. that staunch
defender of things that are. talks
about "a diabolical conspiracy OF capi-
tai against labor. When trade
unionist makes this charge. the Times
smiles pityingly.
II would appear, however, that some
coal dealer has stung the editor. or
he has been caught in the stock mar
ket, that has been falling at the rate
OF mile minute.
II is evident that the editor has had
a temporary lapse, and has soured on
his world. for in discussing high prices
and unemployment. he asks What
is the motive behind all this agita
tion?"
And then he answers his own ques
tion as follwos:
ITO the common sense view there
| is only one explanation of all this. Il
is a diabolical conspiracy OF capital
/ Overloaded with unsold goods and con
fronted by a sudden cessation of buy
ing power, employers have formulated
strikes in order to put stop to pro
duction and thus maintain prices un
I'll they have worked off their old
stocks"

The anti-strike bill and the graft
promotion measures are directly In
conflict with the public interest, They,
add to the burdens of the people. They.
are not justified in good laws or sound
morals. They represent the inordi-
nate and unwarrartable exactions of
privileged group that seeks exien-
sion OF its opportunities for exploiia-

And yet Congress IL so little inter-

OF course. the anti-strike bill Is not

never will be. II Is expected that the
House will defeat II IL II comes TO a
vote there, which Is unlikely. And
the president can and may veto the
graft-bag resolution. He has been
urged to do SO.
But the vetoing of these measures
will not eliminate peril that faces

who win be diligently following his

There is disquieting significance in
these recent legislative forays that
should hold and challenge the atten-
tion OF the American people. II they.
too. tolerate law-making by passive
resignation or sharp practice, we may
conclude that the nation is sleeping
and that il makes little difference to
anybody what happens.

I saw the grand old man of base baH' (used to be Hans Wagner few years ago) at Hotel Taft in New Ha- ven last evening.
 George Weiss, owner of the New Haven club, and I had an enjoyable chat with the pilot of the Detroits and Georgia Peach"
 toward the Worlds Series. ''Who's going to win?''. asked the pair of Georges almost at the same time.
 Yankees replied Cobb with the old diamond fighting fire in his eyes.
 What makes you think SOP in quired Mir. Weiss.
 This is the dope declared Cobb. in a confding manner. The Tanks can hit the ball and I honestly be- staff than the Giants. Douglass, I be- heve, is the best man McGraw can send to the mound, while Carl Mays is the best pick for Miller Higgins. I am counting on Mays to win three games in the series. He's what is known as freak pitcher He has all kinds of smoke. The Giants can much against Mays in his two first games I also expect Shawkey to show some great stuff against the McGraw clan. You will see as in all past big series that the team having the best pitchers will carry off the honors."
 When asked about the hitting of prize home run swatter of the Giants, Cob said:
 I'm willing to bet a few simoleons that neither of these sluggers get a home run in the series. Remember when Detroit played the Cubs? I was

RED AND BLACKS PROSPECTS BRIGHT
By CHICK CREATION.

Fred Hunts football clan will get under way in it's initial game of the season at Newfield Park this after noon with Derby as it's opponent. The Red and Black feels confident of a successful opener, and it is in its best of condition for hard battle The upstate students are not considered formidable and the dope apparently would give the Hilltop a victory by the margin of at least two or three touchdownS- But predictions in foot ball have an alarming tendency to go wrong at times, and the Lyon Terrace school rooters are only hoping that this is not one of the times
 Hunt did not announce the lineup for today'S game. but there seems Fit tie likelihood of any radical changes from the outfit that has been work ing out at Seaside for the past few weeks. It is pretty certain that Red" >Kraynick. because of his eXperlence, will start at quarter. Whalen will play at left half. and by the way, don't be surprised if you see in to- mornings paper where Whalen's sensational work is a big factor for a B. H. S. victory. etc Cate will play right half. and Fisher is sure to go in at fulTback. The forward wall appears to be very powerful From end to end the line averages appToxi mately 1S0 pounds. Lancaster and Cooney, last years star veterans will again be seen at ends; Captain Saur and Thorpe will be stationed at tackles, while Adams and Wagner will fill in at the guard positions, and LengIen at center.
 That the Red and Black has on easy schedule or anything of the sort as premature announcement in a local paper would have us believe, is advanced by the following teams slated which are considered some of the strongest in New England:
 Oct. 5, Derby at Bridgeport.
 Oct '. Wilby at Brid geport.

and resourcefulnes. as exemplif1ed by the Giants. against the battering aggressiveness of Yankees.
 Never in the history of Worlds Series baseball were two teams so evenly matched. Led by Ruth, around whom centers at once the series hopes of tbe Tanks and the problem of the Giants, the Americans virtually slugged their way to the 1921 pennant, while McGraw's men, with apparently greater odds to over come, achieved victory through dar- ing and cleverness. The Giants hurl- CTS probably will find the batting combination of Miller. Peck. Ruth, Meusel, Pipp and Ward one of bhe toughest they ever have been called upon to solve. Peck is always a don gerous hitter, and Miller, who pre- cedes him, is by no means easy.
 Then comes the mighty Ruth-to pass him will mean facing the fear full Bob Meusel. and to pitch to him means that at any time the ball might go sailing over the stands for a homer.
 Behind Meusel and Pipp comes Ward, McNally and Schang, and none of them can be taken too lightly. Ex- perts believe the Yankee batting or der is one of the most formidable in seriesl history And this is what Toney. Nehf, Douglas and the other Giant moundsmen must face.
 Then-the Giants.
 Frank F'risch at the third sack has no equal in either league. He is veritaIble on the bases, and his nick name, "the Fordham fash" was won thereby. On the defense Frisch shows remarkably and at bat he is a terror for any pitcher. Frisch hits when hits are needed. He is the individual star of the Nationals.
 George Kelley, the elongated Giants keeper of the initial sack, holder of the home run record in his league for the 1921 season, and Young and Burns and Bancroft, with Snyder the regular backstop, form a batting bunch that will give the Tank pitchers their greatest trouble. The entire McGraw organization is noted for it's daring on the bases, and while they are not so likely to make long hits they figure to make runs through resource cefulness.
