ST. JOSEPS, Mich. May Charles
e. Ruthenberg of Cleveland tonight
was found guilty of viola ting the
Michigan law against criminal syn
dicalism.
iRuthenberg faces prison sentence
of 10 years or a fine of $1,000 or
both.
The jury was out four hours and
fifty minutes and took three ballots
The first two ballots stood to 3
for conviction. three jurors arguing
that the state had not conclusively
shown Ruthenberg's state of mind on
the communist propaganda and plans
at the time he attended the party's
convention in this county last Au-
gust and was arrested.
on the third ballot the three were
won over by the majority.
Ruthenberg sat unmoved as Thorn
as Smith. A farmer, arose as foreman
and pronounced the one work
guilty"
Judge Charles White ordered Ruth
enberg 10 appear June for sentence.
The defense is planning to move an
appeal to the supreme court before
sentence is entered, but the court
said he had not decided yet whether
he would permit that, or send the
defendant to prison pending hearing
of his appeal.
Ruthenbcrg's Third Conviction.
This is Ruthenbergs third convic-
ton in recent years because of his
radical activities, and his ninth ar
rest since he entered the socialist
party a dozen years ago. During the
war he was found guilty of ohstruct-
Ing the draft and sent to an Ohio
workhouse. After the war he was
convicted in New York of writing the
Left Wing Manifesto by which the
radical faction left the socialist
years in Sing Sing prison and served
IS months before the appellate court
reversed the case and released him
on bond pending retria1, He was
released from prison just two months
before he came to Berrien county
last August to attend the communist
convention.
Ruthenberg is the second man tried
under the Michigan law against Grim
in the trial of William 2. Foster Of
Chicago last month, standing six to
six after two days elaboration.
The state has not decided vet
whether to retry Foster next or try
one of the "a others who have been
arrested on the same charges, Mr..
Smith said.
The arrest of Ruthenberg. Foster
and the "a other defendants grew out
of their attendance a t the communist
convention held in the sand hills OF
St. Joseph last August. Seventy-six
persons were present al that conven-
ton, but only SO have been arrested.

were clamoring loudly today for the
official house tops to tumble in on tina
two judges and the referee who gave
Gene Tunney the decision over Harry
Greb after a ffteen-round contest
Monday night in Madison Square Gar

Tunney retained the title as the
American light heavyweight champion
on just and meritorious decision.
Announcement Of the decision was
followed b. a long demonstration OF
disapproval by a small part Of the
10000 fans who saw the ebout and
several tried to get into the ring TO
punch Joe Humphreys, the announcer.
II points were awarded for holding
and slapping on the back and shout
ders, Greb won by a mile, but points
are not scored that way.
From the third round on. when
Tunney began to punish Greb with
punches 10 the body, Greb did nothing
but hold He led with wild swings
that generally bounded of Tunney 5
shoulders. Then he would embrace
Tunney and the referee would almost
have to blast him loose.

tune moments Bill would cut loose
with a wild pitch thai would heighten
the fear.
Belongs Near Top
If I were asked to name the six
greatest pitchers l ever umpired for,
Bill Donovan would occupy a high
rating in that list. Aside from daz-
zling speed, Donovan had great
curve ball, such a curve as few mod
ern pitchers boast.
There was a sharp break and a
downward drop to his outcurve and
his inshoot had a hop that made it al
most unhittable when Bill was right.
Bill Donovan will go down in base
ball history as one of the truly great
pitchers. He had everything, the
mechanical ability and a keen brain
to make use of it, plus the courage
of a Spartan No situation was too
tough for Bill Donovan In the pinch
he was always at his best.

not courageous. Put to the test
scores of times on the ball field and
never found wanting, I am sure he
answered the final tragic call like the
brave soldier he always was.
Goodby, Bill. You were a man
worth while.
Had Great Control
Donovan was unquestionably one
of the greatest pitchers that ever
graced the major leagues. Early in
his career he won the title of wild
Bill" because of lack of control.
That title stuck with him to the
very end, yet during the last ten
years of his career it meant moth

est asset, the secret Of his success.
Donovan had a world of stuff and
