After persistent urging, I spilled
my secret to, your Uncle WiIbert
Robinson, and 1t was easy to see
how overjoyed he was. Now in
stead Of the button trick, Uncle
Wilbert uses his eyeglasses, and any
minute you are liable to hear Of
Judge Lands making him quit,
saying something like: Uncle
Wilbert, take off those there
peepers." But before this happens
1t is liable to be too late and
Brooklyn win have the pennant
on ice.
Personally, / don't see why
they put pennants on ice, though,
as they are not liable to spoil,
especially in this cold weather,
which, as the newspapers have
been telling millions Of my adj
n1irers, Is SO bad for this writer's
rheumatism.
You never can tell what is going
to happen in baseball except that
players are going to crab at deci-
sions. The Athletics, who have The
weakest batting average in any
league I ever heard Of, just naturally
turned in the other day and wa
loped the tar out OF the Yanks.
They raped three Yank hurlers
for senenten hits and had a total
Of eighteen bases.
The thing that made Miller
Higgins give out that interview
that he was getting pretty tired
of life now, was the pitching Of a
young guy named Sammy Gray
last year with the Fort Worth
team of the League Of Nations
He certainly is poison to the
Yanks.
It's funny how players do
good against some people and
not 80 much against others. For
instance, Paul Strand, who was
a bust with the Athletics last
season is now rated highly with
the American Association.
They don't seem sometimes t
get a good start. and it is i'm
portant for a young fellow to gel
something of a break when he
comes into the big show. 1 re
member that when / started out.

maybe that's the reason why ]

The active champions-Genaro,
Villa, Goldstein, Greb, McTigue
and Tunney-have either done
their collecting out of town, at
the smaller clubs here or not at
all.
McTigue's summer is a total
loss. He wouldn't fight last win
ter and nobody wanted him at his
price last summer.
Greb got about $4,000 for box
ing Moore on the Milk Fund card.
Tunney is one champion who
was always willing to fight. He
had his ''big shot" at the Polo
Grounds with Carpenter and after
guaranteeing the Frenchman
$4,000, didn't have enough left to

Charging that "the president now

employees" Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri declared the president is
trying to kill consideration of the

Sterling, chairman Of the committee

bill including raise in postal rates on
newspapers, is an ancient political
trick to sabotage the postal employees

Reed charged that the administra

for the pay increase, thus trying to
bring about the ultimate defeat Of the
pay increase for postal employees. The

they don't realize it, they are
taught their position in this world
and The part they have in it. They
are taught Of the part that should
be theirs, Of the class struggle, O
the difference between Soviet Rus
STA and other countries, etc.
Many parents claim that if Their
children should go in for such
work as the Juniors are doing.
they would lose interest in school
work, would fail in their studies.
etc, but you will notice that most
Of the Juniors are the brightest
students in school. Another ar
gument is: 'Tet the child see the
bright side of life. 1t is too young
to think of such matters" But
comrades, If the child is not
taught while young, it will become
an instrument of the capitalists,
and it will be hard to change the
ideas once put into their minds.
Besides children Of the Junior
groups are joyful and energetic

in the right direction.
