Cooney has developed something
that has caused real sensation in
the major league ranks. A tricky
delivery that in nine cases out of
ten catches the batter out of his
stride. Ever on the alert for some
trace of ilIegality whether it comes
from the failure to hold the foot
on the rubber or make a faulty
motion toward first base, the
umpires and the hitters are both
beWildered by the enterprisiEg
Cooney and unless there Is u de-
cided change in the rules he is
very apt to play havoc with the
averages of a few of our best
known sIuggers this season.
AS a general rule, when pitcher
winds up while facing the batter,
he goes through with the motion
and serves the ball up to the plate.
He may send over a fast one,
throw a hook or else catch the
batter mapping by using a change
of pace. Yet Cooney has a wrinkle
that in boxing parlance is a
knockout"
AS JOhnnie'S arm swings out in
front to deliver the ball his foot
stops swaying mOmentarily. there
is a perceptible halt in the de-
livery, the expectant batter, ready
to swing, relaxes and then the
ball shoots across the heart OF
the pan and the umpire is forced
to howl, "Strike ODe!"
At Sarasota, a couple of weeks
back, Cooney made fools of Frisch
and a few others Of McGraw's best
batters. At Clearwater Park. against
the Yankees, he had both Ruth and
Meusel buffaloed. Using this Pc
culiar motion only occasionally, he
had the Yankee sluggers waiting
for it all the time, and the result
was that in nearly every case they
were off balance
When the batter is all set to
swing and then relaxes it is a
difficult task for him to recover
and swing again before the ball
gets by him.
During the latter part of last
season, lack Wheat, one of the
most dreaded hitters in baseball,
got ready to murder the ball, moved
back as he saw Cooney pause and
then gasped as the ball cut across
he middle Of the pan. lone strike!'
howled umpire KLEIN. "Whatinell
was that?" queried the surprised
Wheat.
KLEIN couldn't tell him, but
there was such VOlIey of pro-
tests went into HeydIer that the
National League head paid visit
to Boston to watch the little
sOuthpaW work. He studied COOney
all through one game game and
then decided that there was MOTH.
ing in the rules against it.
According to the rules balk is
"any motion made by the pitcher
while in position to deliver the
ball to the bat without deliver
ing it,"
But COoney delivers it, although
he takes his time in finishing up
said motion.
For a motion that is not nearly
so battling and which will raise
havoc with the ambitions of Ameri-
can League batsmen, the Red SoX
tWlrler, Howard Ehmke, repeatedly
has a balk called upon him. If the
American League Interpretation
were the same as that made by
Heydler, Ehmke might develop this
motion as Cooney has perfected 1t

POLICE AGAIN
COME TOAD OF
GARMENT BOSSES
Pickets' Bail Placed at
$4,000

The J. L. Taylor-Internatlona Tai
loring Company Instituted new cam
palan Of police violence yesterday.
Sam Gler was arrested while walking
the picket line. Gler's ball was placed
at $4,000, altho the only charge placed
against him was "dIsorderIy conduct"
Members of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers declared that the high
bail placed against Gier, and the fact
that he was doing nothing but peace
full picketing, shows the intention Of
the garment company again to bring
about wholesale arrests before the
busy season starts.
The rush season Of the year begins
in only two weeks, and the strikers,
who have been out eight weeks, de-
clare that violence and threats will
fail A settlement with the union is
looked for at the start of the busy
season.
Local Union No 144 of the Amalga-
mated announced that the strikers will
be given two tickets each, free Of
charge, to their picnic at Riverview
Park the Sunday before Labor Day.
The shop chairmen were to meet
last night at the Labor Lyceum, Tay-
Tor and Ogden AYES, to discuss pos
sbile future police violence and other
matters pertaining to the strike
The Amalgamated is determined
that the International shall not snug
gle orders into other smaller union
shops, and one purpose of the shop
chairmen's meeting was TO take meas
ures to safeguard the strikers against
such an attempt.
The arrest Of Gier and the high bail
placed against him serves as a warn
ing that new desperate efforts to club
the strikers into submission are to be
made. Last nights meeting was an
answer to the police raids conducted
on the Amalgamated headquarters a
few days ago when Ga of the union
members were arrested.
The hearing Of the sixteen Anal
gamated officials and strikers held a
high bail on charges of conspiracy
and "disorderly conduct" will be held
Friday before Judge Lyle at the Max
well street police station.

the family! Whatever may happen
to the bourgeois conception of con-
nubial propriety, the workers are de-
termined that the idle parasites, male
and female, will have to work or
starve when the final battle between
the exploited and the exploiters is
over.
THE workers of New York are given
very instructive lesson in the
folly Of non-partisan political action,
in the injunction issued by Judge
Churchill against the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers. Judge Churchill
was endorsed by the New York Trades
and Labor Council as a friend of Ia
bor." Yet, the Injunction he handed
down on the demand of the Interna-
tional Tailoring company is the most
drastic on record. When will the
workers wake up to the realization
that those friends" always turn out
to be their enemies?
THE labor takers are never tired
L Of ringing the changes on the &C
tivities Of the Communists in the
trade unions. They accuse us Of in
juring "the cause" What they really
mean is, that we injure their bust
ness, which is selling the workers.
"Majah" George L. Berry is a shining
example Of this species. He is scab-
bling on the union employees Of the
Cuneo Printing company. Yet the
Chicago Federation Of Labor, which
recently issued a long letter denounc-
ing the Communists, is silent over Ber-
rvs scabbery.
ElvEN our worst enemies know that
- the Communists are not out to
divide the workers but to unite them.
The Communists insist on solidarity
in the trade union movement. Only
workers who accept its program can
join the Workers (Communist) Par
ty, but all workers employed in the
same industry must be members Of
the same union. That is our position
briefly. Does this mean breaking up
the unions? No, It means solidifying
them. OF course, the traitors like
Berry want to keep the workers di.
vided SO that they can pit one union
against the others and retain their
power.
