MACHINIST LEFT WING FIGHT

of the bosses and win destroy is abil-
ity as a fighting organ of struggle
against the bosses.
The so-called Anderson group has
failed so far to come out and tell the
membership what they stand for, nor
have they presented program of &C
ton, altho the left wing group has
made all efforts to establish a united
front against the present administra.
ton upon the basis of fighting pro-
gram. 1t is not enough to issue a
slate and plead for a change of adj
ministratiOn. A change of administra.
ton does not solve the problems of
the machinists. A fundamental change
in policy is necessary to insure the
growth of the organization and the
so-called Anderson Harmon group fails
to show where their policy is any diff
ferent from the present administra
ton. No declaration on such an I'm.
portant issue as the 'B. & o." plan.
No declaration for campaign to
bring about amalgamation. No dec.
laration for a struggle against the
present policy of expulsion and sus.
pension OF members for their political
beliefs. Nothing said about the polit.
zeal class collaboration policy of the
present administration. Nothing said
about the methods of the Johnston.
Davidson combine in their dirty at
tempts at times to assassinate the
personal character Of loyal members
of the union in order to discredit
them in the eyes of the membership
especially when these members are in
disagreement with the policies Of the
administration.
The left wing candidates should be
supported by all militants in the or
ganization as they are the only force
that offers real program in the in.
terest of the rank and file. Also
most of them are fresh from the
workshops and are known for their
past activities in the class struggle
We shall take up the personnel of the
left wing slate in the next issue OF
the DAILY WORKER. In the mean
time, get busy, militants, and see tc
it that your local union dominates and
supports the left wing slate.

These figures show that wages in
the packing houses have fallen con-
aiderably below the depression year
Of 1921, at the same time that the
value to the employer Of each wage
earners' labor has increased. In 1921
the average worker received $1,307
for turning out a product worth $751;
$40. The work he performed in turn
ing live animals into edible meat
products was worth $2,842. In 1923
this same worker received $1,262 for
turning out work worth $3,O9S and
making available for consumption a
product worth $19,470.
This means that in two years the
average pay fell about 3k per cent
while the value of the service rend-
cred increased approximately per
cent.
Live Stock Raisers Also Hit.
The figures also reflect the dras-
tic imitation suffered by livestock pro-
ducers on the farms in 1920 and 1921.
The cost of material which bulks so
large in the total value produced by
the industry is largely the amount
paid farmers for the cattle, sheep and
hogs. In the two years 1919 to 1921
this amount was more than cut in
half, dropping from $s,7S2,930,0OO to
$1,S6S,198,000. This threw thousands
Of livestock raisers into debt and en-
abled the big cattle companies to con-
tinue the consolidation of livestock
production on a capitalist basis.

 PLAY GREAT GOLF
Is Entered at OaknOnt Country
 Club Match

Oakmont, Pan Aug. 1S Rl-- Francis Ouimet of Boston, who, like Bobby Jones and Chick Evans, has held both major national cham pionships in American golf, may be expected to offer brilliant brand of play in the amateur event at the Oakmont Country club starting Au- gust 3l.
 Always dangerous, always in the thick of the battle. one of the sames most popular figures, Ouimet has come to what for most golfers is the turning of the road. But his irons remain keen and this year he has shown the fighting heart and not little of the brilianco that car ried him through many heated en- agreements.
 Recently he was crowned king of the Massachusetts amateurs, an honor gained six times in success sion. In the national open cham pionship this year only high elm tree on the first hole at Worcester kept him away from at least tie with Jones and Willie Macl'arlano for first place. He hit the tree and lost three strokes on that hole. Ouimet was the first amateur to win the national open. At the age of 20 he defeated the famous Brit ishers, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in the rlay-off Of triple tie ir 1913. The following year he wor

SULLIVAN WAS THE
 GREATEST CHAMP
Jake Kilrain Says John |. Did
 Most For the Boxing Game
(As Told To Billy Evans.)

That's easy, John L. Sullivan is the greatest figure in the history of the ring" replied Kilrain, when I asked him whom he regarded as the greatest fighter of all time.
 Sullivan did more to popularize the fight game than all the other champions put together. He was a real fighter and a real champion.
 Tn my days the fight game wasn't in very good standing. Many Of the bouts were held in secret before private audiences. The mere mem tion that fight was to take place was enough to call out the sheriff and police reserves.
 Fighting was regarded as a brut- al sport. Of course the bare knuckle stuff was largely responsible for such a feeling.
 When fighters bleed freely, and their bodies become covered with blood. it isn't very pleasing sight. even though neither of the contest ants Is in bad shape"
 "The contact of flesh with flesh as vas the case with the bare knuckle fights, usually resulted in much bleeding. This made 1t seem brutal, Too much blood put the days of carly fighting in bad.
 "rhe use of the gloves as required by the Marquis of Queensbury rules was the first step to elevate the box ing game. To no one more than John L. Sullivan should, go the credit of popularizing the new rules, a drastic departure from the bare knuckle days.
 "Can you imagine q present day champion touring the country and offering a good sized purse to any fighter he failed to stop in four rounds?
 well that Is just what John L. Sullivan did when he was at the heisth of his career.
 "Sulivans offer created intense tr terest in boxing wherever he ap' peared. Aspiring heayyweights every where jumped at the chance to wir nice riecn of money and lot o' fame by staying four rounds witt John L. As far as know Sullivan didn't pay out any money.
 "These exhibitions. in which there was plenty Of action, gave the gen eral public a better impression of thr fight game and did much to put i on a good footing.
 Sullivan was a real man and ; fighting champion, It's too bar treer haven't been more like him Now. when a fighter wins a cham pionship he gets couple of busheI of camphor balls and hides it away
 "The fight game has had a lot 6 fine men in if, but none have dom more for the game than John L I am proud 10 have hattlcd him"

17 fielding stars, the work of soko- lcski, Levine, Mangan, Thomey, Kalnlk, Dubkowski, Anderson and Peterson stood out the most promi- nently 10 the eye of the spectator. Little Thomey was superb and his side kick, Kanik was excellent.
 This was a ball game. It started that way and remained so until there were three out In the ninth. Neither scored in the first. The smith lads broke the ice in the sec ond with one out.

pitcher 10 Intentionally pass
 batsman at a critical spot in
 the game,
 For years the intentional pass has been one of the disputed points of the game. It is regarded as base ball strategy 10 pass heavy hitter in pinch for some other player who does not appear nearly so dangerous.
 The intentional pass is more or less sore spot with baseball fan- dom, although the feeling is sway ed largely by the team that pulls the stunt, If it is the home team, 1t is condoned, but if the visitors pull it, the play is regarded as q streak of yellow,
 In an effort to make it more diff ticuIt to Intentionally pass a batter, a rule was made stating that if the catcher moves out of position prior to the time Of the ball leaving the hands Of the pitcher, ali runners on bases shall be entitled to advance one base
 This rule never made hit with baseball umpires because it drew the line of demdrCation entirely too fine. The thought was, if the catch CT was forced 10 stay ill his position until the ball left the hands of the pitcher, the ball ~Would not be SO widely pitched and there would he chance for the batter to hit at many of the intentional pitches.
 Tho catcher, by leaving the lines of his position, makes 1t possible to give the pitcher a target that will enable him to pitch the ball wide enough of the plate so there will be no chance for the batsman 10 take a crack at it.
 The rule, while it reads well, has never been Of any use in making the giving of an intentional pass in pinch more difficult.

Spe a king of $ ports

It would have done baseball fans a lot of good if more of them Had been present at Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon to see tho Para disc Park-Smith game in the Boys league which Is sponsored by the New Britain Rotary club. The game throughout was one of the finest ever played at tho park whether junior or senior and ended up with the score 5 to 2 in favor of the park. Baseball such as was played dur ing the game yesterday, Is seldom seen at Walnut Hill park and the manner in which the youngsters handle the ball would shame many of the older fellows who appear there every week. Games such as are being played in the league, are those which are played for the glory of the game. A win Up there in that league means something, intangible though 1t may be, and you don't hear any of the youngsters going around and asking how many hits
  about their playing. All they care about is beating the other team and they would die rather than fall down In pinch.
 The worm has turned. Nathan Hale won it's first game of tho sea son yesterday and by doing so, they pulled down the Burritts into the cellar with them, Paradise Park is slightly leading Washington by vir- tue of having played one more game than the High street crew. but the Washington team expects to even matters up next week.
 George Mulligan has had anything but a smooth road to travel in put ting on the kaplan- n-Hermsn bout. Now comes word that Red Chapman is going to seek an injunction re- strainng Kaplan from fighting Her man because of the fact that Rap Ian signed to fight Chapman in June and had not yet made the match Kapan was all set to meet the tough scrapper when he hurt his hand in poned.
 Muligan has placed the matter in the hands of his attorney and he isn't worrying about the matter any more than 10 say that he doesn't see how Chapman expects to stop the bout,
 Commissioner Thomas Donahue hasn't received anything officially with regard to this latest hitch in the rlans for the championship bout and therefore has no statement to m Ike. He will probably stick with Mulligan as he has in the past.
 Red Chapman is doing something that surely will not bring him popu~ laritr with the fans in this state. He is trying to upset the greatest fight that has been put on in this neck of the woods for years and it Is the first home championship fight that Connecticut has ever had. If he Is successful In his attempt 10 ston the bout, he won't he, helping himself in any way.
 kensnGton will stack up against the Meridon Communities this after noon in the Silver City. and this vii serve as good warm ID game fol the beginning of the city title serie, tomorrow.
 The Pirate players will meet at th, Y. M (. A. huilding tomorrow aft. ernoon at 7:"n prepared 10 leave h! automobile for Kensinston.
