L0UGhRAN BEATS
 YOUNG S7RIBLING
Philadelphia Battler Contender
 for Del&ney's Grown

New York. May { ~ - Tommy Loushran of Philadelphia loomed to. day as the outstanding contender for the light heavyweight crown as a result of . decisive victory over Young stribling. pride of Georgia
 Taking seven of tho ten rounds fought tho clever young Philadel- phian atoned for two colorless de- feats in previous meetings by win- ming the unanimous decision of three judges after a bitter battle at Ebbets field last night.
 Pinning their hopes for . title bout on the outcome. both fighters battled furiously all the way. With greater coolness Loughran met the fierce charges of the southerner with 5arring smashes to the head and body. Again and again he got in- side the wild swings of his opponent with telling effect.
 Boxing in constantly in tho hope of restoring himself to favor with the New York fans, stribling carried the fight to close range, but gained little or no advantage in the might ing. Many clinches marred the bout.
 In the first three rounds the south- erner's rushing offensive broke through Loughran's guard often. But after that the Philadelphia boy was master of the situation. Ring critics gave Stribling the second and third rounds while the first was even and Loughran had the rest.
 About 10000 persons saw the battle which opened the outdoor season and was looked upon as an elimination" bout for a match with Jack Delaney. The popular head of the division saw the fight.
 Stribling and Loughran were close ly matched in age and weight. The winner scaled 174lt and stribling 173.
 A light rain threatened to inter- rupt proceedings. but it cleared be- fore the main bout. In the prelim- inaries Sailor Eddie Huffman, Strib- ling's opponent in his last New York appearance. pounded out a victory over King Solomon. Panama heavy- weight. Harold Mays won on foul from Bob Lawson, Alabama negro, in the fourth. George Courtney. Ok lahoma middleweight, took an easy decision from Chuck Burns of Texas in tho third ten rounder. A knock out after less than a minute of the a %ni~ l~ CT when Johnny Werner went down for the count under a left hook by Wyoming Warner.

PROFIT FROM RAGING
Jack Dempsey Leaves Turf With 47,600 Won With His Stable in Various Events.

New York, May 1 R-Jack Dempsey is out of the horse racing game with a profit of $7,500 accord ing to George Coburn. his trainer, who has bought the ex-champions horses and will continue to race them under the name of the Canyon stable.
 The principle money-winner of Dempsey's string was old Kickapoo who won several races after being purchased for $3.600. Dempsey new CT went to extremes in betting on his horses. Coburn says, his wagers averaging less than $200. His big sest plunge was $500 on Old Kick spoo at 6 to 5.
 Although he is selling his racers Dempsey likes horses and plans to come back with "bigger and better stable" he told Coburn over the telephone from California. The wish to get rid of all excess baggage in his attempted comeback to the ring is given as his reason for disposing of them now.

WAR AND Fascist
By ANNA vALATKA

now recall in my mind the past days of. 1916
At that time was but a small child but now do
my best in reading and writing and so want to
tell the readers the why of the world war and
fascism.
We had in 1914 all throughout Europe and es-
pecialy Germany and France the working class or
gained in strong unions, that kept the capitalist
ruing class on the balance. The industries weren't
very prosperous for the ruling class on account of
the workers being well organized. So what hap
pened? The capitalists found themselves in very
serious conditions On side the over production,
and. no commerce. the other side the workers
asked for more bread. So the capitalists had to find
some way to get out Of those conditions July 29th,
1914 the spark of war had to explode. The capi-
talists' excuse for was the murder of Prince
FERDINAND in Serajevo, Serbia. Two days later the
Austrian army was marching to the Ser
ban border.
On the other side we found Germay and France
disputing the conquest of the world market. So It
was good excuse for those nations to Join tho
conflict. Germany joined the Austrian force s~d
France the Serbian forces. The rest of the Fnro
pean countries were watching closely the -
the nation at war. Serbia was losing grotrd 50.
England found the proper moment to come r. ta.,if
help. So did CZarist Russia and the other Eurone,
nations, and dragged with them the rest &C n,
world. In the war that lasted four years. mn -.
OF workers lost their lives, millions were "rno'~ II
and the rest of the workers that were in the -
found themselves without jobs Many of then. W, ~
also prosecuted BIZ the fascist terror that swept I'll
over Europe after the war
We fiHd but country where the workers and
farmers break the chains of slavery. That country
now is called Soviet Russia and 1t is we'll loved
by the workers OF the world But not so by the CAPT
tast ruling cisss, that tries to overthrow that gov
eminent. We find the rest Of the world a ruling
class that keeps itself in power, with fascism and
white terror
I'll invite TIE workers of all races, believing in
fighting against war and fascism (that means hun
ger and starvation for the working class) TO sup
port with all their power Soviet Russia.

THE LITTLE GREY DOG
(Continued)

Little Benjamin lived thru many sad days. His
father was so unhappy that he no longer wanted
to work, and many evenings he would return home
with his back all bloody. Instead of the caressing
and JOY to which Benjamin accustomed there
was an unaccustomed silence in the house. Tom
sat sadly ON the ground. sometimes stroking sadly
the woody head of his little son, but never speak
ing. Only once in while he would cry out "Han-
nah!" and sigh deeply, while great tears rolled
down, his black face. And sometimes he would
cleneh his fist, looking so angry that BENJAMIN
took the little dog and crawled into corner with
him.
The overseer was always unsatisfied with Tom
he complained to the master of the laziness and
obstinacy Of the slave. Had poor Tom known the
results of his dsobedience, he would have worked
as industriously he used to, in spite of his
anger and unhappiness.
The rich man celebrated his birthday. There
was great feast, chickens and calves and lambs
were roasted rich foods could be smelIed all thru
the house, the servants brought countless bottles
from the wne-cellar After supper the young guests

Dear Comrades: I going to write few things
about my school. They weighed boy in school and
found he only weighed fifty-four pounds They also
weighed my sister. Then sent the boy to fresh

more and drink more milk she will have to go too
But how in the world could my sister eat more
and drink milk Il the bosses CUT our fathers
wages. My father was sick for eleven weeks. he
cannot work and doesn't get any money
You workers should not let your children 60 to
fresh air school, but you should FIGHT against
