HOFFMAN, NOT EVERS,
TRIPPED up MERKLE
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

For 10! these many years John
Evers has been given credit for the
play against Merkle in 1908 when the
New York first baseman failed to
touch second, but it was not Evers
who engineered the play. 1t was Hof-
man in center field who noticed what
had happened and Merkle only did what
every ball player had been doing for
twenty years in failing to touch sec
ond base after he saw the winning
run cross. the plate,
Snodgrass was held up as the great
misser of 1912 when he muffed a fly
in center field, but in these more re-
cent years more consideration is given
tosthe loss Of the foul that came after
that and to the fact that the Bostons
hit Matty when they needed to do 50

Teams are being secuted to such
an extent and signals so easily got
ten by scouts that it is almost neccs-
sary to call the team in circle TO
give them the signal in order to
keep the other team from knowing
where the play is coming. Any play,
if known by the other team, is easy
to stop If diagnosed in time. 1t is
also advantageous for the players
to get together in this way to talk
over little points. 1t puts confidence
into them and also causes more
worry for the opponents.
There are no disadvantages unless
too much time is taken up and it
is done to excess. This can be
speeded up by efficient officials.

WALSH CALLS FOR
AID TO STARVING
GERMAN | ABB 0 R
He VIII Speak at Big
N. Y. Mass Meeting
Especial to ''The Daily wOrker''l

NEW YORK CITY.-Frank P.
Walsh, noted liberal attorney for
the organized workers, whose serv-
ices in the packing house and rail-
road strikes, and whose famous ex-
pose of the brutal exploitation by
the Standard Oil Company and more
recently his services on behalf of
the Communists in the Michigan
cases, have made him well known
as friend of labor, has now an
pealed for aid to the workers Of
Germany.
Mr.. Walsh's statement made to
the Friends of Soviet Russia reads:
"The workers of Germany, with their
wives and helpless children, have
been slowly dying of starvation since
the close of the war, with all the
horrors that such death agonies I'M
ply. With cruel indifference the
world has looked on. Subconsciously,
perhaps, our own, country, always
generous to suffering humanity, may
have visioned them as an enemy
people. No one could be so base
today as to have such a conscious,
deliberate thought.
'With Millions of honest working
people, peace loving and Industrious,
upon the brink of death in Ger
many, it is my hope that the work
ers of America, reused to action,
will pour their aid into Germany
so promptly, and in such generous
fashion, as to surpass every previous
outburst of generosity"

for by the industry itself, ana ~nere
necessary, we also allow the in
dustry credit on such orders"
The average basic wage in Petro-
grad is now &c tovarne (eoods)
roubles per month, to which must
be added rs per cent or more which
the workers earn each month on
piece work over certain minimum.
This is slightly lower than the
Moscow wage, but the cost of liv-
ing is somewhat lower in Petrograd.
Considering the cultural and educa-
tional opportunities opened to the
workers through the trade unions,
the medical care, cheap living accom-
modations cooperative purchasing
and so on, these. real. wages
actually amount to considerably
more than those of clothing workers
before the war.
The production per man has greatly
improved in the last few years and
a suit can now be made in just
half the time it took before the
war. However, the output of the
Petrograd plants has not yet reached
quite the standard of the Moscow
factories for they have not had the
advantage of the large supplies of
machinery and equipment the latter
have received from America.
Bricker is now working out a plan
to divide the work among the Petro-
grad clothing factories so that each
will have its specialty-one to make
women's wear exclusively, and one
mems suits and overcoats; one mill
tary uniforms, etc. A start has al
ready been made in this specializa-
ton. One of the great prides Of the
Petrograd Trust is a factory for
dyeing furs. Formerly they used
German chemicals but since the
revolution, they have learned TO
make their own dyes and are doing
excellent work. Their greatest need
just now is for more raw material
and machinery in order to carry their
specialization still farther. To buy
more equipment, they need more capt.
tai from America, from their big
brother. the Russian-Amer-
lean Industrial Corpol alton.

MOSCOW.-This week / had a

Director" of the Petrograd Clothing
Trust, one of the five major trusts
embraced in the All-Russian Cloth
ing Syndicate. l caught him or a
business trip to Moscow. where he
had come to talk ever with Bogra-
CHOW, head of the Syndicate, the all
lotment of some of the substantial
orders for apparel that are now
coming to the Syndicate from ev-
cry corner of the Soviet Republic.
The Petrograd Trust, Bricker tells
me, sells 800 of its goods through
the Syndicate and thus, relieved
of the bulk of its trading opera
tions, it is able to concentrate it's
attention on production problems.
The Trust, at present, comprises
five factories employing $500 work.
ers. Formerly there were Is facto-
ries, most of them military, but with
the reduction in military work and
the general policy Of economic con-
centration on the most efficient fac
tories, the Trust has been working
three large factories and two small
Ter ones. Most of the work up till
last spring was military, but now
fully 500 of the output of the
Petrograd clothing shops is for civil
and industrial use.
"Our main problem at the present
time" said Bricker, sis to create
an effective credit system which will
enable the industrial workers of
Russia to obtain the clothing they
need. The Petrograd clothing in
dustry was the first to introduce the
system of extending credit to the
workers, and | have been specialize
ing on the development of that end
of the work. At present we are
making contracts with the manage
ment of many industrial enterprises
to clothe all the workers in a given
establishment. The management
guarantees the payment for the
bulk lot and we allow the workers
six months credit. In some cases
they pay 25 per cent down and the
remainder in installments over the
six months period. More often we
simply divide the sum into twelve
parts, and require bi-monthly pay
ments. This arrangement applies
of course, only to civil clothing

in Congress will not dare pass these
slave laws.
Organize Councils for Protection of
Foreign Born Workers
The way to unite the workers for
through the organization of Councils
the fight against these slave laws is
for the Protection of Foreign Born
Workers in every city of the land.
Native born and foreign born workers
should unite in these councils. A
temporary committee should be Gre
ated in each city to organize a con-
ference through which the Council
for Protection of the Foreign Born
can be set up.
Every trade union, every labor
political body, every fraternal organi-
cation of labor and every organization
of foreign born workers should send
delegates to these conferences.
How to Fight the Slave Laws
The Councils for Protection of
Foreign Born Workers must through
mass meetings and distribution of
literature arouse all the workers of
this country to the danger which is
menacing them in these proposed
slave laws.
The slogan of the Council for Pro-
lection of the Foreign Born Workers
must be: DOWN WITH THE REG
ISTRATION, PHOTOGRAPH / N G
AND FINGER-PRINTING LAWS.
The Council for Protection of the
Foreign Born should demand FREE
IMMIGRATION, so far as capitalist
laws are concerned. The only limita-
ton upon immigration should be
through a LABOR CONTROL COM
MITTEE which should be created by
an international Conference of Labor
Organizations. This committee should
be empowered to control the flow OF
labor from one country to another II
the interest of labor and not in the
interest of the capitalists.
TIE Councils for Protection Of For
eign Born Workers should endeavol
to rouse the unorganized work
ers to the need Of joining the unions
in order to fight against the capitalist
bosses. They should carry on cam
paigns in favor of the Farmer-Labol
Party, through which the workers, ma
tive and foreign, can fight their politi
cal battles against the capitalist
bosses.
