Junior Activities in Los Angeles. 3
THE second anniversary celebrated
4 by the Junior section of Los An
geles was success. More than eight
hundred people (three hundred chill
dren) crowded the hall, and accord
ing to all reports, were satisfied that
this was the best concert that they
have heard for long time. Many in
quiries were made since as to when
the Juniors will give another concert,
and repeated calls we're made for
numbers performed on that evening"
such as the spirit of Communism"
"The Happy Prince" and the Labor
Defense Operata." The proceeds OF
this affair could not have possibly
gone for a better cause, as S72.32 was
turned over to the Local Labor De-
Tense, $50 to the Cooperative Build
ing and $3.50 to the national office.
The Juniors Of Los Angeles are
always ready" always doing some
thing, always planning head At the
present time all groups are busily en-
gagged in project which is something
new, something different, 1t is a Com

carried thru within about three weeks.
More details about this later.
One of the groups is having de-
bate on Resolved, that Capitalism is
better than Communism" For this
debate, one OF the Juniors, who was
trying to convince some OF his fellow
students that the Junior section, Y.
w. L., is the best organization for
working class children to belong to,
was challenged by two boys from his
class room. The challenge was ac-
cepted by the Junior group and the
debate will take place. The Juniors
are now seriously thinking OF organiz-
ing a debating team, and thus be able
to challenge different organizations on
different subjects from time to time.

A Pedestrians Review Of a Porleta-
rlan Playlet.

NEXT time some bourgeois hi-brow
starts CROWN about capitalist
culture particularly about it's theater,
I'm gonna give him the merry ha-ha
and then maybe tell him few. And
we'll may. Didn't / see the juniors
in School Days?
On second thought won't. Melted
q compassion for him in his benighted
ignorance, III take him by the hand
and lead him gently-as gently as his
ignorance, fear and servility will alt
low me. And IL his machine isn't yet
atrophying them to capitalist servility
he'll well realize that he has seen
something. He will see playlet, por-
traying Communist version OF a day
in capitalist school, and IL that isn't
great stuff it is, at least, potentially
alive, and in the hands OF the Juniors
1t becomes more so. Even the prop
uganda features in the mouths OF
George and Vera do not fall fiat, as
propaganda usually does, but become
inspired words. And that's art of a
high order. The wistful burlesquery
OF ten-year-old emanciated laundry
washing imp, Vera--is enough to make
one laugh and cry at one and the
same time. The rest of the players
were deliciously grotesque. The play
let as a whole is stirring and It's
propaganda value is great.
The wonder of 1t all is that these
are not budding geniuses selected and
pampered In some bourgeois school,
but an ordinary Junior group--the
Brownsville group--trained and dir
ected not by a highly tutored director,
but by a gifted comrade of the Young
Workers League. More power to
them and to us.

At LAST
CATCHES UP
WITH MICK
Three Years of Cross-Country
Running Terminates in
Ring Tonight
BY international News Service

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Three
years of cross-country running,
with the champion well in the
lead. will come down to a decision
inside twenty -four-foot ring to-
night when Mickey Walker defends
his worlds welterweight title against
Dave Shade, the California chaI
lenger. For three years, Shade has
chased Walker and, now that he
has caught him, the only reward
may be a punch on his prominent
chin.
In any case, it figures to be the
greatest welterweight fight since
the time of Walcott, mysterious
Billy Smith and those haEowed an
clients of another and perhaps
better day.
Not in years has championship
match so thoroughly COMPOUNDED
expert opinion. For every man
picking Walker, there is another
to call him, the expert, a pink
pated sap. The boys simply can't
agree on this one and the writer
can hardly say that he blames
them.
Shade, fighting from the posi-
ton of man picking up dime,
is just the type to bother Walker
or anyone, but particularly the
former. Mickey is a body punch
-er and tonight must switch to
the head. When your opponent
is bent double, you hit him i'm
the body just as often as you
hit him on the sole of the foot.
Walker must straighten Shade
up or perhaps suffer the penalty
that befell Jimmy Slattery when
that ex-favorite tried to dance him
self out of the situation some
months ago. Shade ended his
buck and wing in the third round
by leaping out Of his crouch for
a right hand knockout
1t was one of four that Shade
has scored in some sixty fights.
Walker, in about as many starts,
has landed upward of twenty. He,
therefore, is the better puncher
and, it might be added, can laugh
off a punch with greater ease.
Shades advantage is in superior
speed and defense. Walker has all
box car You hit him and some
times he notices it.
All in all, the writer would
venture to say that he favOrs
Walker to win at the odds now
prevailing, 6 to 5. They prob
ably will go to even money at
gong time, but that condition
will be caused by gentlemen who
have frayed cuff in their family
closet.
Walker should be stronger at the
weight, although some of the ex-
perts believe that his condition is
not what it might be. He is much
shorter than Slattery and, there
fore, will be able to reach Shade s
bobbing head much more readily.
Shade won't leap up with right
handlers as he did against Slattery.
If he does, they will be sweeping
him up in a dust pan.
But only in such q case Will
there be a knockout. The bout is
almost certain to go the limit OF
fifteen rounds because of Shades
unOrthOdox style.
1t won't be entirely new to
Walker. at that. They have met
twice before. Shade getting an un-
official decision at the end of
twelve rounds and on the other
the eighth with a broken hand.
Walker has improved all of 100
per cent since that meeting but
one can't say the same for Shade,
who has been around for some time
and knows all he ever Will.

Young Apdches

Respectof
Mercurys
By r. d. THOMAS

The Mercury Athletic Club, twice
Independent football champion of
Washington in the last four years
and a contender to the finish in
the other two, has begun prepare
ton for another campaign which
promises to be q tough one.
One might say that the promise
comes from the young Apache
A. C.
Heretofore only one team has
held the full respect of the ever
powerful Mercury team at the
seasons start. It has been the
annual contest with the Mohawk
eleven for which Mercury pointed,
and all other games were consid-
cred little more than practice
affairs to harden the winged noot
.pridders for the sapdlot classic
with the Indians.
But this year the Mercury Ciuo
IL giving no serious thought to the
Mohawk clash, which comes at the
seasons end. There viii be plenty
of time TO prepare for that after
Mercury has met the Apacnes.
THE Apaches first attracted at
tention about five years ago as
kid team. when they played under
tha name of Mohawk Juniors. Later
thew changed this to Mohawk Preps'
ana then they became the Apaches.
Each time the young gridders
changed their name they entered
heavier class of football until now
thew are in the field for the un.
limited division championship OF
washington.
And season after season the
Anachea have kept the framework
of tl1eir team intact and at the
same time built up . spIendlq
club spirit. It would be difficult
to coax away q regular member
OF the Apache eleven.
And all the time the young foot
ballers were learning the game ana
growing they were molding them
selves into a machine.
Their one great ambition was to
whip the famous Mohawk team.
later they included the Mercury
club with the Mohawk eleven IN
list of hoped for victims.
They gave voice to this ambition
and when they had grown heavy
enough the Mohawk and Mercury
teams laughingly encountered the
Apaches in what the big fellows
were pleased to call practice games.
But the Apaches took them seri-
ously.
They fought like wild young
braves, and, though they lost games,
they never lost heart. aaS
I'D
At last the Apaches became
formidable. They went sitter
Mercury last year with fire In
their optics, and when the stall
wart Mercury eleven left the field
of battle every man knew that
here was q team that must be
reckOned with in the future.
Mercury won that contest by a
score of 7 to with touchdown
scored in the last two minutes OF
play on a desperate SO-yard Tor
ward pass, Levy to Ganey.
Joe Ganey, the Mercury chieftan,
said today that the Apaches, in his
opinion. had the smcothest working
football machine his club met last
season.
"And what's more interesting to
u.s." Ganey added, us the fact
that they're likely to be better

I'm ball player, not preacher.
But even l can see the value of
the thing. Those kids, busy play
ing baseball, rare a lot better off
physically and morally than they
would be running wild on the
streets. Baseball gives them a
chance to- work off steam and
at the same time makes them bet
ter kids. That's a great thing.
I've been preaching amateur base
ball for a long time. And I'm
getting a lot of help. I've already
written about George Maynes and
the work he is doing in Detroit.
And I've told about the amateur
leagues in Cleveland and Wash
ington and Boston and st. Louis.
/ guess the fellow who said that
kids weren't playing baseball any
more will have to take back his
words.
There's just one thing needed
now to make it complete. That's
some sort of elimination tOurna-
ment to decide the national kid
champions. Even that could be
arranged without lot of trouble,
if district championships could
be played first. And it would be
popular, too.
How many fans, do you suppose,
would go up TO the stadium II
they could see two kid teams play
for the national sandlot champion
ship. Plenty of them, believe me.
And heading the lot would be Babe
Ruth. I'd go a long way to see a
game like that.
Who knows, maybe some day 1t
can be staged?
