SECRETARY EXTOLS
LIFE OF GOMPERS
Miss Guard Says Labor Head
Voiced Cry of Inarticu-
late Multitude.

An appreciation to Samuel Gompers,
late president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, written by Miss r.
Lee Guard, his secretary for 25 years,
for the current issue of the Official
Journal Of the Cigar Makers, of which
Gompers was its former president,
summarizes his character in the fol-
lowing words:
Liberty was his passion, justice
his devotion humanity his love"
He was not the Columbus of the
labor movement" Miss Guard con-
tinues, but that he would have been
its Casabianca, had the need arisen,
no one who knew him could doubt.
He voiced the cry of the inarticu-
late multitude, the human cry for
better homes, better food; for oppor-
1unIty for leisure to inhaIe the per-
1ume of flowers and gaze upon their
beauty: to bask in the sunlight to
study the stars and muse in the
moonlight"
EnseIHsh Ambition.
An extract of the tribute follows
Ambition spurred him, a noble,
nnSelfish ambition to give and give
OF self in the service of humanity.
That which was paramount in his
life was duty, service. When duty
called, no other consideration weigh
Votion, his love.
"kindliness, charity, faith, friend
liness, love, hope. cheer. belief-these
he gave in unstinted measure to all
supplicants at the wide-open door of
his heart.
He was neither awed by position
nor coerced by rank. He bowed to
no man for place or power; he was
unfettered by pledge or promise.
That for 40 years the men and wom-
Pn of labor should have placed and
replaced the scepter in his hands was
but the recognition of his selfiess
burning desire to serve those who
most need service, the demonstrated
wisdom of his leadership, the estab-
lished incorruptibility of his char
hcter.
He had no personal ends to serve
He cared not whether his was the
popular cause, whether his was the
smooth and pleasant road. Reckless
of consequences to himself, with blaz-
ing, fearless zeal he threw into the
battle for right and justice the full
power of his keen mind, the concen-
trated force of his trained intelli-
Eence, the strength of his profound
knowledge of human nature.
Believed In His Country.
He believed in his country, in the
ffetchless greatness of it's institu-
tiens, in the fundamental principles
upon which it's government is found
ed. To quote his words:
America is not merely name. II
is not merely land. 1t is not merely
a country, nor is 1T merely a senti-
ment. America is a symbol; it is an
ideal. The hope of all the world can
be expressed in the ideal-America.'
Always unafraid, always alert to
danger to the country he loved Sc
well, to the toilers he served so gen.
erously, to those who come after him
the memory of his life will forever
be an inspiration to nobler manhood
10 higher ideals.

Chicago, March 5.-Some ball players, like old wine. seem to im- prove with age
 Take for instance, Harry Hooper, veteran outfielder of the White SoX,
 Hooper came into the majors back in 1909. For several seasons he was a member of the famous Boston Red Sox outfeld, composed of Hooper, Speaker and Lewis, which has often been called one of the games greatest In 1921 ha was traded to Chicago, where he has since remained.
 Despite his 16 seasons of active service, Hooper appears to bs i'm proving instead of going back. A glance at his batting record for tho past 10 years will vouchsafe that remark.
 In 1914 Hooper hit .25S, @ re- markedly low figure for regular outfiedcr. Five years later. or in 1919, Ae cIouted ,267, slump of nine points. And, another five years-1924-found him hitting 1928, a leap of 61 points.
 Thus over stretch of 10 years Hooper succeeded in elCyating his average a total of 70 points. In other words, he reached higher figure in the batting columns last season than he has ever done during his major league career,

Teamwork TriumphS Over In. diVidual Play in Close Game

Superior teamwork enabled the South Church to win over the colon- ials at the Boys club last night, al- though the losers fought all the way and held the Congregationalists down to a 30-23 win. The Colonials dribbled excessively, frequently SCOT ing but more frequently losing the ball, while the South Church passed the sphere around with greater &C., curacy than 1t has shown in any of Its recent games.
 The contest was featured by long shots on both teams, those of the winners being many and sensational. Adams started things with a nifty long heave and Kilduff added point on foul. Havlick counted from afield, but Parker shot a lengthy one through the hoop. Vetrano dribbled up to score, and the game grew faster and close. First one team took the lead ond then the other, while the score was tied time and again during the first half. Kilduff, Parker, Adams and Kleist were scor- ing shots from all angles, but Hav- lick and Vetrano kept the Colonials within reach. Just before the end of the half, the South Church dashed out in front by 21-17,
 The second half saw both teams putting up more stalwart defense with consequent lessening of the scoring. The Colonials rallied, but Parker broke up a dribble, did some bounding on his own account, ant scored. Adams followed suit ant the South Church left the Colonial' hopeiessly in the rear.
