ra"es. smoke upon the timely topic:
THE Fascist - Some Observations
Based on Recent Visit to Italy," He
traced the rise OF the Fascist move
ment from the outbreak Of the Great
War in 1914. At that crisis, wher
Italy's choice lay between the Triple
Alliance and the Entente, the poet
D'Annunzio led the populace and es
pecially the youth. to side with France
as sister-Latin-country. This war
party adopted the name Fascist from
the Latin fdsceS-the bundle OF rods
and axe formerly carried by the
Roman lictors. This and the black
shirt are their emblem. They are now
q nationalist party. resentful of Italy's
slight by the Treaty of Versailles an6
demanding for Italy the eastern shore
of the Adriatic. Their internal policy
is rather vague, but they are militar-
istic in spirit and practically AFRO
CANT and domineering. Their present
leader Mussolini was formerly So
cialist, hence his efforts to improve
the conditions of the working-class
Their opposition TO the Socialists is
traceable to the fact that they arr
made IN largely of ex-army officer
and soldiers who are intensely nation
alstic as distinguished from interna-
tiOnalism

MAJOR LEAGUE Jumps"
in BAD THIS SEASON

One of the teams in a prominent
league lost a game recently by rather
lop-sided score. That night in the ho-
tel the manager of the losing team met
the president of the league.
80 and so is the rottenest umpire
l ever saw, the manager opened the
conversation. HE robbed us out of
the game this afternoon. Why don't
you get some umpires that can see?'
+ The l.. P replied that he thought
the umpire had nothing to do with it,
inasmuch as the winning team had
scored ten runs in one inning.
He gave three terrible decisions
and let in the ten runs, the Mgr. came
back
About three weeks later the same
manager met the L. P. in another city.
DO you know where l can get a
shortstop better than the bum I'm
playing?" the Mgr. asked.
The L. P. told him he knew of sew
eral that might be bought, but he
thought he had pretty good one.
''Why, that bum made three boners
in game three weeks ago and cost
us ten runs. He didn't know where
to throw the ball and when it got there
it was too late
Il thought that was the game you
were robbed out of by the blind UNI
pire? You told me about it that night
in the hotel
Couldn't expect me to say l was
wrong, could you?" he replied.
Sports Writers Interviewed
Commissioner Lands has received
so many complaints about the UNI
piring in the major leagues this sea-
son that he interviewed the baseball
writer's for their opinions. He was
told that the umpiring was the worst
/ seen in many years, but that no par
! ticular team had cause for complaint,
because they got as many breaks as
/ bad ones on the decisions.
! With the exception of a very few
umpires, no one ever admits that the
/ field judge is right on a close decis-
/ ion. The grand stand officials never
consider that the umpire is in much
! better position to see the play. The
! trouble is that some umpires are diplo
mats and some are antagonistic in
their attitude.
Last year one of the pitchers on the
New York Yanks got in a fight with
the partner of the most popular umpire
in the league. 1t looked like q free
for-au with the players of both teams
gathering around and with the pitcher
insisting upon taking crack at the
umpire. The whole scene was ended
when the partner of the belligerent ar
bitter walked to the pitcher and sale
in a cool voice-'Leave the field fol
my sake, won't your" The pitcher
Gained down in a minute and left the
field.
4 If the umpires really are bad thi:
year it might be because there are toe
many old veterans wearing the blu,
