Regardless of what teams win In
the four-cornered fight now being
waged, class is certain to hold forth
at shortstop.
There have been few great teams
that lacked brilliant shortstop ne"
York and Pittsburgh in the National.
and Cleveland and New York in the
American are no exceptions to this
rule. The four shortstops who have
a chance to break into the big series
are unQuestionably the cream OF the
two leagues.

Peck Among Greats.
In Roger Peckinpaugh the New

truly great shortstOps of the game.
With most critics he shares the
premire honors with Scott Of Boston
as the best in the American leA1,ue.
Walter Gerber of the st. Louis team
is close up. American League play
ers look on Peckinpaugh as ball
hawk and to most of them he is
known as the rowing shortstop. A
remarkable pair of hands and a base
ball intuition that seems to tell him
the right place to play, makes it
possible for him to constantly pull the
seemingly impossible. Likewise he
works with such ease and grace that
he makes difficult plays look easy.
ond year as a major league player, is
destined to be the star at that posi-
tion in the American League. Sewell
despite his inexperience and lack of
polish is a star today. In three years
he will have no superior at the posi-
tion. He has ability, nerve and conf
dence, three great assets.
There is little to choose between
Bancroft. PeckinpauGh and Maran-
willie. Each player stands out pre-
eminent in certain features of play.
l venture to say if vote was taken
among the base ball authorities. 1t
would be pretty evenly divided.

of Jews in Europe, especially in
view of recent developments in
certain of the EastEuropean
countries:
"The situation of the Jews in
Europe continues deplorable and
should not be permitted to fade
from the consciousness of civil
lied men. They are struggling
in vain for the civic rights as
sured them by constitutions or
treaties in Rumania, Esthonia,
and Latvia, and the Ukraine is
still the scene Of frequent though
sporadic massacres. The area of
anti-Semitic infection, further
more, is constantly spreading.
The press established by the Rus
sian enligres with propaganda
centers in Sophia. Constantine
pie, Belgrade, and actual pogrom
organs-for the first time in his
tory-in Berlin, London, and
even Yokohama, are seeking
Indignantly to saddle all the trou-
bles of the world upon the Jewish
people.
''The Republic of Poland is, in
this matter, in the lead and is
rapidly becoming a substitute for
Czarist Russia. The Jewish dis
abilities inherited from the Rus
sian regime are not revoked. The
Tribuna of Warsaw frankly ad-
mits the pogrom propaganda Of
the Polish priests, whose attitude
is exemplifed by certain Faith
er Lutoslavsky's announcement
that only genuine anti-Semites
are properly qualified to deal with
the Jews in the name of the Polish
people, Thus anti Jewish ex-
cesses are of daily occurrence and
bear with an especial and tragic
force upon the Jews in the Ger
man communities of Posen accus-
toned for many years to full civic
rights and unquestioned social
standing. On Sunday, June 10,
street demonstrations took place
in the cities of the province for
the purpose of preventing Poles,
on punishment of death, from
dealing with Jews or Germans.
In Bromberg the Jews, many of
whom have lived in the city for
generations, were threatened with
expulsion within three days and
the police with difficulty pre-
vented the destruction Of the To-
cal synagogue. To anyone ia
miliar with conditions in that part
of the world such occurrences in
the city of Bromberg will bring
home, as few other things can,
the inhuman recklessness of the
territorial shuhling and gambling
of Versailles-which some Ameri-
cans still insist we should ap-
prove"

Sufferers.
The flood which swept Pueblo took as
it's toll hundreds of lives and destroyed in
ten short hours twenty millions of dollars
in property values. Fortunes and savings
of lifetime were wiped out and the flood
water left poverty and restitution in its
wake.
Our Jewish brethren engaged in vari-
Gus forms of business, occupying stores
and other establishments in the very heart
of the now devastated district suffered in
greater proportion than others. 1t is to
rehabilitate them that we make this urgent =
appeal.
Please bear in mind that these men and
women, like yourselves, have given to
every worthy cause when in the past they
were called upon. They affiliated with
every Jewish organization, local and ma
tional. They do not seek charity, they
want only the means to rehabiGtate them
selves In short, our desire is to put them
on their feet-not to restore their fortunes
but only to start them again in life.
A careful survey has been made of the
situation and it's needs. A responsible
committee of Pueblo and Denver Jewish
citizens, who will handle the collection and
distribution of funds, report that two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars is needed
Immediately to fill only reasonable require
ments for rehabilitation purposes.
