defeat by an Is to 8 score. The Cheshire team got going in the first inning and the result was never in doubt. Cook, the Reforma- tory ace, was hit hard, the Bur- ritts getting 15 safeties of his de- livery, but the Cheshire crew found the combined efforts ofs Rose and Salak for IA bingles and these combined with errors by the locals resulted in the one-sided score.
 The Burritts scored one in the first when Budnick connected for a homer but a double play stopped any further activity Cheshire came back to score three in the last half of the first and in the second and third the Reformatory boys kept up the work. Salak went to the show CTS in the third and Rose took his place. He couldn't do anything with the heavy sluggers from the state institution.

VETERAN SWIMMER SETS
 RECORD AT FAIRFIELD
Walter Patterson of Bridgeport Makes Fast Time in Fair
 field Beach Swim

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. g R)- Walter Patterson, Bridgeports swim mer who has been competing in long distance water trial for 2S years broke his own record of three hours for the Fairfield Beach to Lordship Beach swim yesterday afternoon by l5 minutes, covering the course in two hours and 45 minutes.
 He used the trudgeon stroke over the entire distance. During the swim he lost his guide boat.
 The local swimmer attempted to swim the English channel on Octo- Der 3, 1922. The water at the time was 5S degrees and Patterson was forced to abandon his effort after staying in a few hours. Several other stars including Henry Sulli- van of Lowell, Mass, who afterwards accomplished the feat were in Dover that year but the local man was the only one to make an attempt.
 When asked if he intended to make another try at conquering the channel, Patterson said that he was unable to leave his business at pres- ent but hoped to make the attempt again at some future date. He in- tends to enter the Boston light swim on August 22.

Local Baseball Team Conuuers Windsor Crew After Flashing
 Pretty Bunting Game.

The Pirates of this city, al. though outhit by the Pollard A. c. team of Windsor in that town yes- terday crashed through to a 12 to , victory in the game. An old-time Pirate bunting attack in the first inning gave the Pirates a lead Of five and they were never headed after that.
 Douglas of the Pollard team pitched wonderful game, flaming 16 men and allowing only hits. These bingles. however, were time ly and combined with his team mates errors, gave the Pirates the edge. Conlin of the Pirates, al- though hit hard, managed to keep the bingles scattered.
 Begley, at short for the locals, furnished the fielding gems of the game. His stops broke up two ral- lies. The hitting of Anderson and McAloon was feature. Anderson got four, one of them a circuit drive. Watts of the Pollard team also hit for the round trip. The score:

He snapped his fingers at it and in two minutes the animal was as docile as a lamb.
 You can't be a great jockey without making the horse feel he has a firm friend in you. Horses will run their fastest for the jock eys they like. Sloan knew when 10 whip and when to scold. He was cool, had a fine pair of hands, a per- feet seat and the knack of making a horse do his very best"

I to remove the restrictions interfering
with foreign-born workers becoming
citizens of the United States? Why
haven't these servants of the bosses
proposed a single bill which would
make it possible for foreign-born
workers to become citizens at any
time after they arrived in this coun-
try?
The reason for this action of the
congressman is very plain one and
will be understood by all workers.
These congressman are serving the
bosses. Therefore these congressman
cannot take a single step which will
tend to improve the economic condi-
tions of the workers or in any way
facilitate their becoming citizens of
the United States. These congress-
men cannot take a single step which
will remove the restrictions against
the foreign-born workers because that
would mean that the foreign born
workers would be helped. These con-
gressmen can do nothing else except
defend the interests of the capitalists
who are their masters.
Striking Labor at Every Turn.
TINE McClintic bill does not forego
1 single possibility to take hostile
measures against the working men
who come from other countries, to the
shores of the United States. In ac-
cordance with the provisions of this
bill, the secretary of labor and the
attorney general have power to deport
all unnaturalized workers who have
not been regularly" admitted into
the United States and who do not
comply with these provisions. Thus,
if this bill should become law, the
secretary of labor and attorney gen
eral or the numerous agents of these
two departments would have a right
to arrest any worker at any time they
please in order to investigate him to
find out whether he landed regularly
or otherwise. In the case of strike
in a steel or coal community, agents
Of the department of justice or the
department of labor or both could
easily swoop down upon the striking
workers and arrest them for examina-
ton and deportation. What more eff
fective strike-breaking method could
be perfected by any detective agency?
And, the United States government
being a government of business, by
business and for business interests,
certainly means business in providing
for such strikebreaking measures. In

What the Bosses Congress Wants TO Do Against the Workers

Orr, in the federal district court of
Pittsburgh, refused naturalization
papers to workers because they were
struggling against the mine operators.
The Judge then said Public senti-
men is against the strike" An appli-
cant who passed every test given
him in applying for citizenship was
told by this Judge: GO back to work
and l will grant you papers"
Under the provisions Of the Nc
Clintic Bill, this worker. who was not
allowed to become a citizen because
of the high-handed conduct OF a Judge
of the coal operators, will then be
punished and deported 1t is very in
structive to note that first the bour-
geoisie do not allow the workers to
become citizens, don't allow the work
ers to become naturaihed, and then
enact laws to punish workers for not
being citizens, for not being natural
lied. This is capitalist class justice
with vengeance.
There is no limit to the number of
workers that Mr.. Mcclintic would
have deported. The more the better,
in his opinion. We find section 2 of
