LOVE STARTS BRILLIANTLY.

Slim Love, elongated southpaw of
the Mavericks, got off 10 a brilliant
start, striking out the first six men
to face him, and getting ten strike
outs for the full game, but Mullen's
three doubles, and Postum MoOre's
well spanked home run with a run
ner on base, proved too much for
MIN.
Today's victory put the Cats in the
series for the championship Of the
South against the Atlanta Crackers
this year. While nothing official
could be learned, it is unofficially
understood that the series will open
in Atlanta this year, two games be-
ing played there, one on Tuesday and
one Wednesday, with the two teams
jumping back to Fort Worth for
three games on Friday. Saturday and
Sunday. The sixth game will be
played in Atlanta on Tuesday. should
there be a necessity for that many
games. while the seventh game, if
needed, will be flipped for after the
sixth game in Atlanta.
q Special trains carrying Cat fans
to the Georgia city will be run from
Fort Worth, at least two newspapers
having specials almost filled now.

ling Dallas Steers in the third
game of the series 10 deter
mine the winner of the Sec
ond half race of the league.
It was the third straight VIC
tory for the six-time champions of
this circuit.
Todsy's victory was doubly sweet,
since the champions demonstrated
their ability TO come from behind and
pull a tight game out of the fire. As
was the case in the first two games
of the three-game series, the Cats
were playing unbeatable ball, and
swept right over the once laundering
herd, much to the joy Of a crowd Of
1000 rabid Cat fans.
Paul Wachtel, bulky spit baller OF
the Cats, who set the Steers down
with two hits and no runs in the
first game of the series, attempted
a comeback in today's game, but was
taken out after double and a home
run had nut the Steers in the lead.
Jimmy WaIkup, slender southpaw
stepped into the breech, and held the
Steers safe for the rest of the after
noon, while the mauling Cats, once
again led by the diminutive but pow
erful Billy Mullen, unleashed an at
tack that soon wiped out the three
run lead and put the Cats on the
road TO their sixth consecutive cham
pionship.

Leopold and Loeb
Meet Face to Face
On Prison Holiday
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 10.-Richard
"Dickie" Loeb and Nathan Babe"
Leopold, millionaires' sons who a
year ago were planning the world s
perfect crime-the Staying of young
Robert Franks, after they kidnapped
him for ransom-yesterday met and
conversed for the first time since they
entered Joliet penftentiary seven
months ago to expiate their crime
in life sentences.
They were united by the Feast of
the Passover, and with Sc other Jew
ish prisoners were released for the
day from prison restraint, Loeb from
his work in the chair factory and
Leopold from weaving rattan furni-
ture.
The two youths were rather un-
nerved by the meeting, according to
guards who observed them. Hello,
Babe" said Loeb, always the leader,
and Hello, Dick" responded Leo
pold. Then they stood for time with
out speaking while other prisoners
of their faith looked on curiously,
and finally repaired to a corner
where they talked in low tones for
some time
After religious services the Jew
ish prisoners were left to themselves.
Today they went back to work, but on
next Thursday, the last day of the
Passover, they will again be allowed
to mingle. That will probably be the
last meeting of Loeb and Leopold
until the Fourth Of July. when all
the prisoners are allowed to mingle
and converse throughout the day.

LABOR WILL SHUN
POLITICS IN FUTURE
Venture in 1924 to Be Last
if Federation Adheres to
Green's Policy.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

American labor, under the leader
ship of William Green, the new presi-
dent of the federation, seems destined
conservative course than under
Samuel Gompers. In conversation with
this writer, the Ohio miner who now
directs the Federation of Labors
destinies conveyed the distinct i'm
preston that organized labors flyer
in high politics in 1924 was its first
and last adventure of that kind. Mr..
Green was one of the federation
executive minority that opposed the
league with the La Toilette party in
the late presidential compaign As
far. as Compers' successor can con-
troll it's policy. the federation hence
forward will adhere to it's traditional
role. 1t will shun politics and con-
centrate on improving the economic
and legal status Of the American
working class.
The American Federation of Labor
was not represented at the February
obsequies of the Progressive party in
Chicago, when the four railway
brothe-hoods, which marched to Elba
with La Toilette, formally deserted
him. But no formal separation from
the La Toilette organization, or what
Is left of 1t, was necessary, as the
federation's Connection with the third
party was never more than tenn
porarily entangling alliance:
Sees Stand Vindicated.
Mr.. Green, a stocky. square -shoul-
dered, two-flsted Middle Westerner,
just turned SO, sees in the economic
and political difficulties Of European
labor "a complete vindication" of the
attitude American organized labor
hitherto, except in 1924, has steadily
maintained. In Europe, as President
Green Views conditions there, labor
has signaily failed to retain the
standards achieved during the war.
1t has slumped back to old-time con-
d1tions. In America, broadly speak
ing. labor leaders feel that they have
succeeded in maintaining the i'm
proved standards" that came with the
war. Wages for the most part re-
main high. Mr.. Green feels strongly
that conditions in the United States
are relatively good, and in Europe
relatively bad, because in this coun-
try labor has stuck to it's knitting"
and in Europe labor has played
politics.
Samuel GomperS' successor does not
think that the position that American
organized labor has conquered since
the foundation of the federation in
1881 Is now ideal. On the contrary,
1t has important and unrealized OBJ
jectives stu ahead Of it. When he is
asked to indicate what labor most
wants and needs Mr. Green says, un-
hesitatingly. "a better legal status
than it now enjoys. He is not sure,
evidently, that it has any thoroughly
defined and .unassailable status in the
law. at all. 1t wants, above all, a
statutory sanction of the principle Of
collective bargaining. 1t would like
a little less equivocal definition Of
the right to strike. 1t thinks there
ought to be curb on government
by injunction"

DEMOCRATS FEAST
HERE IS CANCELLED
Failure of Bryan, Roosevelt
and Others to Come Cause
of Decision.

The Jefferson day dinner which was
to have been given here next Monday
by the National League of Progress
sive Democracy has been called off,
Edward E. Britton, chairman Of the
executive committee of the league,
said today.
Mr., Britton explained that the plans
for the dinner had been given up as
it was impossible to get the speakers
whom the league invited, because of
other engagements. Among those
who were invited, but who were un-
able to accept the invitation, were
Col. william Jennings Bryan, Frank

of the Navy Josephus Daniels and
Mayor Hylan of New York.
Denies .Harmony" Move.
1t was denied by Mr.. Britton that
the dinner was planned as a get-to-
gether, or harmony affair, seeking to
heal the sores in the party caused at
the last national convention. He said
that the dinner had been planned by
local Democrats merely to stir up In
terest in the party. He said further
that the league is not organized in
the interest of any particular candi-
date for President.
Col. Bryan, he explained, has en-
gagements to speak in Florida which
will keep him there for some time
and Mr.. Roosevelt Is in Warm
Springs, Ga, on account of his. health
The National Leagu of Progressive
Economy, Mr.. Britton said, now has

all States as a proper step, and in
this he was Joined by Senator Walsh
of Montana, chairman of the last
Democratic national convention.
Other Democratic leaders voiced
their approval of such a move, though
they were vague as to the proper
time for a conference. Since the pro-

ever, no definite steps have been
taken toward carrying 1t out. and in
some quarters the belief has grown
strong that it is still too early to
