Then he went back to where Tunney
was slumped on the floor. Arriving
there he did not pick up the count

look at me to see that I was parked
in the neutral corner. That also was
okay with me, for figured that the
timekeeper was tolling off the Sec

II the ringsiders will refresh their

didn't seem to be able to get it down

three times, walk -four steps toward
the candle and blow it out.
Candlestick Race
For a candlestick race, place can
dies in low sticks in q row two feet
apart on the floor. The contestants
take turns in trying to jump over
the candles and sticks with both feet
together. Meanwhile the others as
they watch, sing "Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick, Jack jump over the
candlestick." At the word candle
stick they must start jumping over
the candles and to be successful must
do so without toppling over candle
or losing their balance. Upon reach
ing the end of the line they must turn
around and go back.
Another candle game, somewhat
on the same plan, is to choose four
of the largest players. In front of
each player place in a row four tall,
lighted red candles and ask the play
ers to step over the candles in order
to measure the length of the neces-
sary step. After this practicing,
blindfold the players and tell them
they are to start when the signal is
given. Meantime remove the candles
and watch the racers trying to step
over, as they suppose, these tall light
ed candles.
If prizes are given small flash
light is appropriate.
Other traditional games, particu-
larly for Christmas night, are Blind
mans Buff" Blindman's Wand"

first two are romping games and the

Christmas as to Halloween.
Distributing Gifts
If gifts are to be distributed at
any time without Christmas tree,
one way in which to do so is by means
of cards. Give each person a card
on which are directions leading to

First, for the children, since after
all, Christmas is really for them Can
die games have held a prominent
place in the Christmas festivities for
several centuries, due, perhaps, to
their association with light, symbolic
of the Star of Bethlehem and the
first Christian-not pagan-Christ-
mas celebration.
To play christmas Candle" light
a large red Christmas candle. Choose
one child for candle bearer, another
for candle blower. Blindfold the lat
ter, turn around three times and tell
him to blow out the candle. He is
very apt to start in just the wrong
direction blowing as hard as ever he
can which, of course, is highly anus
ing for the children who are look
ing on. After a few trials remove
the handkerchiefs and let the candle
blower take the place of the candle
bearer, and another child try to blow
out the candle. See that all have a
turn. Or, just place lighted candle
upon table. Blindfold the players
in turn as they stand about foot
from the table with their backs
turned towards it. Tell them to take
three steps forward, turn around

Another way is to follow the lead
er. For this the guests line up and
place their hands upon the shoulders
of the person in front. Guided by
music the leader tries to find pack
age hidden somewhere about the
rooms. When far away the music is
soft, when near, loud, with varying
degrees between. No matter what
any one else may think, he must fol-
low the leader. When the package
is finally discovered it is found to
contain an attractively wrapped gift
for everybody at the party.

With the Young Worker
By S. BRoDY.

The iron fist Of American Imperial
ism has been gathered in New York
Harbor. Lined up in the Hudson from
9th Street to Yonkers, stand 129
man-killing monsters: the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets. This extraordin-
airy display has apparently been pre-
arranged and organized to the most
minor details. Navy launches carry
ing the crowds To the battleships, Of
ficers parading in full military
regalia, shore-policemen parading
along the piers with immense clubs
resembling baseball bats; in short,
everything that goes with war is
there.
Parallel with this unusual concen-
tration of battleships in a single
port, wide campaign Of publicity has
been launched in New York City.
High schools and various boys clubs
are sent down to the fleet in large
delegations, the Navy recruiting sta
lions are working overtime, the kept
press devotes long columns daily in
Qualification of "our gobs, our blue
jackets, our sailors"
All this is no mere accident. It
is now obvious that an intensive
campaign has been started for the
following reasons:
l. To draw young workers into the
navy for the purpose of training them
for impending blood-baths.
2. To create atmosphere" and
get American workers to think war; a
gradual nursing into a war hysteria.
3. To show other Imperialist
Powers that Wall Street is ready for
business.
Now more than ever must Ameri-
can young workers, those who are
called on to fight for the interests of
American financiers, refuse to be
fooled by the various traps sprung
in order to attract them into either
the Navy, the Army, or the C.M.T.C.
Elaborate displays like the one we
are at present witnessing in this
city must be unmasked for what they
are: another indication that soon the
American youth will be called on to
give its blood for Wall Street.

Labor Sports Make
Progress
(By Labor Sports Union).


Probably no industry in the coun-
try has furnished as many major
league baseball stars, as coal min
ing. Probably the most famous Of
these stars was Mordecai Brown, the
great three-fingered Cub pitcher of a
decade ago. Stanley Coveliskie, for
mer Cleveland pitcher, and at present
with Washington, Jim Bottomley,
scintillating, Cardinal first baseman,
and Harold Stricklin of the White
Sox, are only a few of the coal
diggers who threw away their shovels
to make a living at the more con-
genial occupation of playing ball.
Play During Strike.
With a strike closing down the
mines in the bituminous fields, over a
hundred thousand miners find time
hanging heavily on their hands. The
younger miners are taking advantage
of their leisure to go in for athletics,
and in the coal district at this time of
the year, this means-baseball. Union
organizers point out that it is essen
tial to keep the young fellows busy,
in order to maintain their morale, and
keep them from drifting to the non
union fields or to the cities. In such
a situation it would be an excellent
thing to organize, not only union
teams, but leagues, that will stimulate
and provide inter-local competition.
Wants News.
With the organized labor movement
taking a growing interest in the de-
velopment of sports activity within
its ranks, as evidenced by the spread
of union baseball teams, the problem
of labor sports publicity comes to the
front. In this connection, Labor Sports
Union is putting out press service
which is issued weekly, without
charge, to cover 100 labor papers.
However, press service must have
correspondents and these the Labor
Sports Press Service badly needs. It
will be glad TO receive news Of any
trade union sports events. Such news
should be sent in TO 453 North Ave-,
