Polo Grounds, New York, July 2.
-(AP)-In fifteen rounds of terri
fc fighting tonight, Harry Greb of
Pittsburgh, Pa, retained his worlds
middlewiight championship against
Mickey Walker of Elizabeth, N. j.,
welterweight king, before a colorful
throng of $1,000 spectators in the
main bout of a benefit show for the
italian Hospital fund.
Lashing back gamely in the clos
ing rounds. Walker saved himself
from a knockout by courageous
stand which brought the crowd to
its feet in tribute which has sell
dom been beaten in the historic ring
of the National League baseball
park. But Greb had piled up a
tremendous lead on points through.
out the bout. and the judges return
ed speedy verdict for the title
defender.
Twenty four rounds of terrific
fighting crammed into the card car
ried the immense audience to the
heights of enthusiasm and then
dropped it with a thud as Harry
Wills, negro heavyweight, battered
Charley .Weinert of Newark, N. J.,
to the canvas in two brief rounds
of a Is rounder, and Dave Shade of
California, stretched the sensational
Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo on the
canvas with an unexpected right in
the third round of carded six
rounder.
The New Jersey heavyweight who
fought his way back to the ranks
of the challengers by a victory last
winter over Louis Firpo, proved no
match for the giant negro. Wills
took the attack in the first as Vein
ert remained at a respectful dis
lance and then quickly disposed of
his opponent after one minute and
forty five seconds of the second with
a staggering right. Weinert, drop
ped in neutral corner, tried in vain
to draw himself to his feet, with the
aid of the ropes, but the finishing
punch had completely paralyzed
him.

Don Brennan and Jim Davidson
both lost games this week but not
through inferior twirling. Both boys
played good enough baseball to win
but the support of their teammates
was quite a bit wobbly in the pinch
es. A pair of defeats has made the
LA club sit up and take notice.
Easterns and Bar Harbor continue
at a breakneck pace in the Maine
State league. Neither team fa,tered
Wednesday, still retaining the tie
with four won and one lost with an
average of 800.
Amber of Lewiston leads in hit
ting to date with IL hits out of 10
trips to the plate. His average is
.51S. Tanton of Bangor IL second
with an average of .53S out of IL
times up. Whitehouse of the East
erns is third with George Davis of
Bar Harbor fourth.
Sheriff" auckland of the East
erns is one of the moundsmen to get
along so far without a defeat. He
has won three games. Davidson of
Portland and Blume of Bar Harbor
are still in the 1000 column. Rey-
noldS of Lewiston has pitched two
games without defeat. Grody of
Portland has won. four out of five
games.
Lewiston fans are looking forward
to the free-for-all race at the Fair
grounds on the Fourth. Some of the
fastest horses owned in Maine will
appear.
1t will be a quiet Fourth as far as
sports are concerned in this city.
Last year the Miluonairies furnished
a snappy game to interest the fans.
This year there will be absolutely
no athletic activity. -.
Winslow High won nine out of IL
games played during the high school
baseball season. This is quite a
record considering the fact that the
team was whipped into shape from
cluster of yearlings.

ought to really prepare and that
without delay. feel confident
! may say, without a moments
hesItancy, that all present at this
conference are fully determined
to be prepared.
The real work, however, in the
various districts thruout the coun-
try will naturally fall to the
Trades Councils. In the past
Trades Councils have been of
very real value to the labor move
ment, and altho there has been a
period of comparative lethargy
and neglect in regard to many of
the councils, we gladly recognize
that a marked improvement is
showing itself, and with our con-
tinued assistance ii will In the inn
mediate future enable them to be-
come Of immense value to the
movement.
"When the Struggle Comes"
We urge The Trades Councils to
at once prepare their forces, visit
all the branches of unions. afii-
lated and others, get in touch
with the cooperative guilds and
societies, and all the workers
organizations. The Joint consult

With all these forces aimed at the

time when some concrete expression
was needed on the part Of the militant
working class element of the British
workers.
Prepare for Struggle.
The slogan Prepare for the com

cried out from the walls of the hall

the keynote of the conference. The

the workers in the army, the
navy, and in the air force. In
order that they should know the
full truth Of the matter.
LET US Make Sure"
Let us make sure that there
will not be a single soldier, a
single sailor. a single airman who
will dare TO raise a finger against
their brothers.
There are certain indications
that the ruling classes themselves
are not too much confident OF
their forces. They feel that at
the time of trial the worker in
uniform may think more about his
brothers than about his chiefs.
That is why they are so anxious
to create a real class militia
which would be devoted to the
existing system heart and soul.
That is why the fascist are in a
