To Join Nationalist
BULLETIN

HANKOW, June 3.-Eugene
Chen, foreign minister, has dis
patched a sharp note of protest TO
Japan, pointing out that the land
ing of 1000 marines in Tsingtao
is a reversion to Japan's old policy
of coercion.
SHANGHAI, June "a detach-
ment of 1,7O0 American marines have
already left the Philippines for Shang-
hal. Il is reported that they will be
sent to Tientsin to join the 1,500 ma
rines who have already left for Pek-
ing.
A dispatch from Manila states that
the army transport Chaumont is ex-
pected there tomorrow to take an
additional detachment Of marines sta
toned at Oloncapo to China.
Plans for the disposition of a force
of 10000 imperialist troops are being
perfected at Tientsin, it is stated.
Northern Workers Sympathetic
The situation is regarded as an ex-
tremely delicate one by the imperial
list powers. Picking is "menaced" not
only by the rapidly advancing troops
of the Hankow Nationalists but by
the large number of Nationalist sym
pathizers within the city.
Workers in Picking and Tientsin are
only kept from openly espousing the
Nationalist cause by the terrorism Of
Chang Tso-lin. The execution Of
labor officials in Tientsin which is in
the hands Of Chang Tso-lin's sub
ordinates is a matter of almost daily
occurrence.

N is or was in Benton Harbor,
Michigan, quite close to little house
where several of us spent short
time in the fall of 1922 after the raid
on the Communist convention in
Michigan. All we were doing was
discussing how best to organize the
workingclass movement. The "king"
was engaged in the business of
running American womanhood, after
first taking their dough. The "king"
is still outside and so are we, yet dol
lars to whiskers, the capitalist will
be more lenient to this pious defiler
of sacred things than to radicals.

ONE of Benjamin's greatest draw

adornment around his thyroid glands.
He wanted to escape, when the
hounds of the law shifted too closely
to his harem, but his whiskers stood
in the way. A barber might suggest
shat a good shave would solve the
prSblem but the "king" would not be
the old cave man he was without the
foliage. Instead he decided to wrap
a horge blanket around his forest.
This along with a corset was to be
Beniamin's armor in Drawing the
hostile world. But treason was in his
camp, ana jealous woman was the
means of his downfall. Here we

LEAGUE
INTEREST HIGH
Pleasantyille Fans Hope For
Formation of Circuit-0ther
Towns Interested

Despite the fact that an attempt
by Norman Reeves, of Atlantic
City, to organize an Atlantic
County football league several
weeks ago met with a temporary
setback, a demand for such CIR
cult has been displayed in Pleas
antville as well as in other cities
of the county.
Bert Karrer, down Egg Harbos
way, is going ahead with the re-
organization of his strong team,
and is strongly in favor of the
formation Of the league. The
Olympic and Sylvania clubs, of
Atlantic City are beginning work
for the season, while Hammonton,
Mays Landing and several other
communities are beginning to lay
plans.
While no definite data on the re-
organization of Pleasantvllle.S
team could be obtained today, 1t
is expected that call will be MADE
for candidates within the next
two weeks. The success of las;
years Pleasantville A. C. eleven
has led fans here to hope for q
repetition of the 1926 season, ane
the possibilities of a league in the
county are stirring up interest in
the gridiron among local sporting
circles.
While two conferences with
managers and team representatives
held by Mr.. Reeves at Atlantic
City recently, did not lead to any
thing definite, the Atlantic City
promoter is still hoping tsIt an
other meeting can he held.
With baseball definitely out OF
the way, he expressed today his
hopes that those interested will
be more football minded now than
they were two weeks ago, ana
that organization of county CIR
cult can go on now without q
hitch.

BY NORMAN {. BROWN

Babe Ruth stands a good chance
of breaking his own worlds record
for home runs in a season.
The mark stands at SO, as every
one knows.
A homer every other game, at
the time he rang up No. 40, meant
a new record for the Bamb.
Considering the fact that he has
broken out with two home runs
in single contest this year this
pace isn't beyond the range of
possibilities.
A new record will add to Ruth's
fame. but viii not draw the atten-
ton it might have year or two
ago. This for the simple reason
that Ruth, plunging along to the
record this year, has proved against
the keenest of competition that he
is the greatest home run hitter
in the world. The record itself will
not prove any more.
II isn't the mere number of
home runs that Ruth collects. It's
HOWL
There is that mincing stride OF
his at the plate; the gripping o.
his big bat at the very end; the
preliminary swing of the bludgeon;
the settling of his feet in the
powdered dirt at the plate; the
play of his shoulder and back
muscles, ripping under his shirt;
the gun squint at the outfield
fences and stands; the pause dur
ing the gyrations of the pitchers
arm and then
Well, there's something In tn
way he shoves his body behind the
swing that tells you when he
knows he has connected. There's
a crash of the ball; a follow
through of his bat, and he's on
his way.
There's the arms-high trof
around the paths. An easy, method
ical step with due care to tread on
each base in passing. A touch at
home plate and the settling down
to a walk to the dugout.
Not even a runaway race in the
league can detract from Ruth's
| feat
