masses that bring about its downfall.
It Is at such a juncture that their
chief mission is plainly visible, and
that for q while the philosophy of
number seems the only philosophy Of
history"
But since the revolutionary masses
are needed to destroy the decayed
structure, this alone would indicate
both the necessity and the sanity of
revolutionary action. Should the re-
evolutionary crowd be in a hypnotic
state it would equally attempt to des-
troy the solid and the decayed struc-
ture; but since it destroys the rotten
building alone it signifies that it is
aware of its activity and is not at all
hypnotic" To carry out the revolu-
tionary plan it requires a long time
state preparatory to the revolution
airy outbreak. A revolution, then, is
the sum total OF small circle, at the
beginning. then Of a large party and
lastly It is joined by the oppressed
class.
Another accusation Of lie Bon's Is
that the revolution enlists the most
dangerous elements. Its companions
are two categories of criminals-pro-
fessional and occasional criminals.
These criminals form the army Of dis
order. All leaders OF revolution, all
founders of religious and political
alliances have always relied upon
criminal elements.
What relation is there between the
revolutionary movement and criminal
elements? Criminals shun any parti-
cipation in revolutionary parties,
which would demand self-abnegation
and sacrifice. True revolutionists pre-
pare the ground in the course OF long
weary years preceding the revolution;
they consciously sacrifice themselves
for an ideal though they know that it
may be a long time before the ideal
is realized and that it is possible that
they may not live to see their ideal
realized. AS for the ideals themselves,
these are born in the hearts and heads
Of men who reflect upon them in Sc
clusion, who deliberate upon them a
long time previous to the outbreak.
Those idealists and thinkers belong
ideologically to the same revolution

that the ruling party after a revolu-
ton is very often more revolutionary
than the opposition party, and that the
latter may be more moderate and even
conservative. 1t would follow from
this that both the revolutionary lead
ers and the masses that support them
are the same; while the conservatives
or moderates would turn insane, as
they in turn would also cherish the
hope of violent overthrow of the ruling
Revolutionary party. Something is
deficient with this psychology which
turns against its masters.
There is one common source for all
the revolutionary programs, he con-
tinues-"mysticism," that is a faith
in formula, in theory. The mystic
ism expresses itself in that the work
ers believe that they are more capable
to rule the state and industries. The
faith Of the leaders is the outcome Of
jealousy and envy, but not of super
iority. AS for the masses, they gener-
ally hate superiority. They like as
little the wealthy as they dislike the
intellectuals. And the famous saYant
reaches the conclusion that the labor
movement Of Europe is nothing else
but struggle OF inequality Of intellect
and luck. on the preservation Of which
nature insists.
But this inferior state Is ascribed by
L. Bon only to the revolutionary
masses and not to the race or nation.
The historical race once it is formed,
possesses, due to the hereditary law,
such power that all its beliefs and
institutions, and the elements Of its
civilization, are nothing but express
sions of the genuius Of the race.
The influence of the revolt can

Brown game last year and it was their
suggestion which caused Bowdoin to

LEGAL BATTLES
STILL THREATEN
AS HOUR APPROACHES

Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-(P)-The day
before the battle found the Dempsey
Tunney championship bout still behind
a smoke screen of legal entangle-
ments and the city of Philadelphia
swamped by the advance influx of one
Of the greatest crowds that ever gath
cred for a sporting spectacle any
where.
None of the dozen or more court
cases started either by Jack kearns,
Dempsey's former manager, or b. c.
Clements, Chicago promoter, appear
ed likely to upset plans for the bout,
but rival squads of lawyers were pre-
pared for any and all eleventh hour
manoeuvres. Chief Of these was a
hearing, scheduled at 100 this after
noon on application for an injunction
to stop the fight, brought by Clements,
who claims he has prior contract
binding Dempsey's services.
There will be no interference so far
as Governor Pinchot or any other state
or city officials are concerned. The
governor not only has declined to OBJ
struct the bout, but plans to occupy
a ringside seat and root for Gene Tun-
ney. He so informed the Rev. Charles
Scanlon of Pittsburgh, general direc-
tor of the department of moral well
fare of the Presbyterian board of
Christian education, who requested
that the governor stop the bout Mr..
Pinchot paid tribute to boxing as a
sport and pointed out there was mo
reason why discrimination should be
made in this case merely because a
greater public attention was called
to it"
oThe fstic fans who are coming
from all quarters Of the globe to
make up a record crowd of proba bly,
10000 at the first heavyweight title
match in three years are not both
cred by the legal barriers that have
beset the bout; their chief difficult
ties have been concerned with get
ting a place to sleep and ticket
with which to pass the portals of
the gigantic sesqui- centennial sta
dunn tomorrow night. Both are be-
coming as scarce as uncracked lib
erty bells.
The ticket problem already has be-
come acute. Tex Richards down
town sale headquarters reported
only a few thousand pasteboards
left; those of the higher priced
varieties, $3.50 to $3.50. The cheap
err seats have been sold out and
spectators already are asking fancy
prices for them. $3.50 tickets being
scaled at SIS and $40 tickets at as
high as S25. Few choice ringside
tickets appeared available but some
were said to have price tags as high
as 500 apiece.

Dempsey's training camp yesterday
when he went through light timber
ing up workout to keep his muscles
loosened. Newspaper corresponding
have been privileged to watch Damp
sey go through his training stunts
but they We're all barred yesterday.
Dempsey did no boxing. Instead he
had a two round fling at the light
punching bag, session at shadow
boxing, and two rounds with the
heavy bag. For an hour tafterward,
Jerry The Greek, his personal at
tendant, put him through a rubbing
period. After this was finished Jack
called in his sparring partners,
thanked them for working with him
and received their good wishes. When
he came out of the dressing room and
called a CHEEKY Hello" to q few
who had remained all
the afternoon outside the fence Of
the dog track, Dempsey appeared to
be in perfect condition. He rolled
away to his bungalow with four de-
tectives to play around until bedtime.

FINAL STATEMENTS
ON EVE OF BATTLE
BY BOTH SCRAPPERS
(By The Associated Press)

Coincidence radiated last night from
the training camps of Champion
Jack Dempsey and Challenger Gene
T,nney, in statements of their ex-
pectations of the outcome of the
heavyweight championship fight to-
morrow night in Philadelphia.
Jack Dempsey at his camp in At
lantic City, said:
I'm going to fight like He'll. I'll
knock Tunney out with the first
punch if / can, because I know he'll
be trying to do the same to me, and
INV rule is to beat the other fellow
to it. That is the best policy. I've
always followed 1T.
1T am ready now to get inside the
ropes and I'll be ready tomorrow
night when 1 face Tunney across the
ring. am not taking Tunney
lightly.
II have lasted as champion for
seven years and I don't think I have
reached the end yet. ] have not
overlooked anything IN my training
campaign. My legs are good and
strong, my wind is everything that
could be desired. I have satisfied
myself / am all right in timing and
distance. / feel as strong ,as ever
and I am hitting as hard as liver.

TUNNEY WILL HAVE
TO OFFER NO AL|b|S
FOR HIS SHOWING

Stroudsburg. Pa, Sept. 2e-(P,-
Gene Tunney, challenger for the
worlds heavyweight championship
was today in a position of nothing to
do until tomorrow. The brawny ath-
lete who went from Greenwich Viii
lage and clerks job to heights in
the boxing arena via the United
States Marine Corps, is all through
with his training and waits with i'm
patience for his best chance
Today and tomorrow are hard ones
for the contender. Tunney has work.
ed long and faithfully to place HIM
self at the peak of condition for his
bout with Jack Dempsey, reigning
monarch of pugilism, and feeling him
self in the proverbial pink of condi-
ton" he is anxious to prove it.
Possibly no champion nor challenger
has approached title bout with less
worry. Tunney Is type unto him
self and the very eve of the cham
pionship contest finds him unmoved by
nerves. The last few days have grad
ually brought him to the edge his
trainers have sought and he is champ
ing at the bit but still retaining his
record-breaking calm.
The aspirant for the highest honor
his life calling has to give hopes to
escape an ante-bout welcome in Phila-
delphia. His plan is to slip unno-
ticed into the sesqui-centennial city
and he wishes those who have cheers
to give him to same them for combi-
nation with the uproarious welcome
certain to be accorded the marine en-
try when he climbs into the fateful
seoul ring. He will go from Strouds-
burg to the City of Brotherly Love
in the private car of a friend. This
car will be side-tracked before the
train reaches the Broad street sea-
ton and the challenger conveyed by
motor car to a private home he is to
occupy while he is in Philadelphia
He will remain there until he weighs
in at 2 o'clock and after that cere-
mony will again retire to seclusion to
be broken next by his departure for
the ring.
There are ffs" in plenty about the
championship battle. but the question

lance of the camp.
The confidence of months has not
wavered the day before the bout. ABB
solutely right" tersely sums up Tun-
ney in describing his own condition,
and with his condition of fitness he
has uttered a declaration that Il have
nothing to fear"
Tunney thinks, he says, that he Is
the best man, but If he is not he still
says may the best man win" and de-
clares he has no alibi to uncover
should he suffer defeat.

tice, Coach Pete Reynolds handed
them orange jerseys and said:
You are the varsity. Whitman
will shift from center to guard and
Bayley from tackle to guard. Arch
oska and Jones will alternate at
ends. Cook will call signals"
Coming from last years fresh
men, Reynolds has Jonah Goldman
of New York, sensational halfback,

Orange celebrity, and already estab-
lished as the squads best punter, as
well as Bobowick. Newman and
Hopp, 200 pound linemen, and Win
nick and Fontaine, crack yearling
ends. Another star is Jake Patterson,
who returned this year to college
after three years absence. Under
"Chick" Meehan, Patterson was a
mainstay in the varsity line.
While the newcomers smash
through scrimmage work, Reynolds
allows his seniors to play around
together, putting in most of their
time in signal drills with two scrim-
IMAGES a week.
The belief is that Reynolds in
tends to use this combination of
veterans in his season opener
against Hobart, September %, and
if possible to follow through with
it against Vermont and William and
Mary, using only a simple kick for
nation as basis for his attack. His
real strength will be shown against
West Point, October is, and Penn

.R0TARIANS AUGUSTA CLUB
CHAMPS after TOUCH BATTLE

The Kiwanis baseball team. guild
ed by Norman Dow. was riding along
at merry clip yesterday afternoon
at Williams Field when the steering
wheel came off in Norman's hand
and the whole crew fell off the band
wagon, with the result that the Ro-
tarians crawled ahead and won the
race for club honors by a score of
14-7. Good plays, bad plays and in
different plays featured the contest
but when the game was all over
everyone was satisfied. The crowd,
which was strictly non partisan, was
satisfied because the Rotarians had
come from behind and won, the Ro-
tarians were satisfied that they had
played the entire game without any
casualties and the Kiwanians. who
had member of their own club as
empire had to be satisfied.
George Williams general superin-
tendent of the Central Maine Power
Company was in the box for the
winners and gave. the kiwanians the
shock of their lives. He held the
losers to five bingles and sent eight
men back to the bench talking to
themselves. In addition to this
George almost COPIED the record for
hitting the largest number of men in
single game but after three Kiwan-
ians had been struck they became
kind of gun shy and spoiled his rec
ord.
Everyone starred in the contest.
Each and every member of both
teams did something to make the
Harry Miller, Bill Ellis and Foster
~, he 1ti
plays of the game. In the third in
ming Foster Higgins sent a high fly
into the infield near second base.
Miller ran in to catch the fly and
Tiffin chased him. The ball came
down, struck Miller's glove, then
bounced into Arthur's. The second
freak play of the afternoon took
place when George Martin was at the
bat. George sent hard liner be-
tween first and second. Ellis ran
down to stop the ball, 1t hit him on
the foot and the ball bounced into
the first baseman's mitt. Bill got an
assist without laying a hand on the
ball.
The base running of Burleigh Mar
tin and the playing on the hot corn
err by both Emery and Simpson were
other bright lights in the afternoons
performance. The collection amount
ed to over $40.
Norman Dow. pitching his first
game since 1909 did good job for
the losers but the Rotarians just hit
the ball where his teammates were
not. The ball players who were sup
posed to have gone by Is or 20 years
ago played ball in a manner that
would have put the youngsters to
shame and the errors were largely
the result of little Wild throwing
with men on the sacks.
A small crowd witnessed the con-
test but those who did attend were
generous as the gate receipts Will
show The game was a success In
every way and the fans who did not
attend missed the best one OF the
season. The summary:

not affected me. On this point rest
assured. Everything seems to he
coming out all right. I'll still be
champion when the fight is over, and
that will be all right, too"
Gene Tunney said at his training
quarters near Stroudsburg, Pa. that
he was in the best possible condition.
The former marine added:
II have left nothing undone to put
myself in perfect condition for the
greatest opportunity of my fighting
career. I am confident will win. !
do not despise the abilities Of my
opponent, but 1 have unlimited con-
fidence in my own. If defeated I will
have no alibi and while / would hate
to lose, I will never have any regret
that I left something undone that I
should have done in my training to
win this fight"
