THOSE unskilled workers in the
steel industry would have no need
for the empty benevolence of Cool
idge if they had succeeded in or
ganizing themselves into a powerful
industrial union. The president
talked about considerable class of
unslilled workers who have not come
into full participation in the wealth
Of the nation" And they never will
as long as they remain unorganized,
vote for democrats and republicans
and leave the industries, which they
operate, in the hands of the parasite
class whose interests Calvin Coolidge
serves. The proper answer for the
steel workers to make to the inane
junk mouthed by Coolidge is to union
ize and drive for a Labor Party.
OUR editorial in The DAILY
" WORKER Of last Monday asked
some pertinent questions about the
conduct of the A. F. of l.. officialdom
in the miners strike. The answer
is now given in the abject surrender
of the officials of the Illinois Miners
Union to the coal operators. No
doubt the renegade Frank Earring
ton, former president Of the district
and now on the payroll Of the Pea
body Coal company at salary of
$4,000 year had his finger in the
deal.
THIS is another smashing blow
dealt to the once-mighty United
Mine Workers Of America. The lea
ders will not lose anything. The
losing will be done by the coal dig
gers. Those fat lads that are now
riding the waves in the A. f. of L.
have only one fly in the ointment. 1t
is the presence Of a radical wing in
the labor movement and the exist
ence Of Communist Party that ex-
poses their treachery and shows the
workers how to organize and to pro-
cure a leadership that will not have
the sole function of betraying them
to the employers.

Indiana Grid Warriors
to Use White Jerseys;
Uniform Order Is Placed
BU Times Special

By Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Aug. s.
The traditional crimson football
jerseys Indiana University football
players have donned in games for
years will be supplemented by white
this fall, according to Coach Pat
Page. The change is being made
because of the crimson worn by
Harvard and the maroon used by
Chicago. Both teams are on the
Indiana schedule.
Coach Page believes it interrupts
the football eye to change jerseys
every week or SO. Hence, the change
to white.
Uniforms have been ordered for
three full teams. Page expects to
carry that number on each trip, in
cluding the journey to Boston. In
addition to these there will be near
ly hundred other uniforms avail
able to candidates Sept. is, the first

BEST OF ALL GAMES

E| ALTER was diplomatic as he
WI usually is, when / asked him
" if he believed the standard
of play was better or worse.
Baseball has progressed in GER
tain features of play and slipped in
Others" he replied,
'Base-running has decreased, as
have most other systems of one-run
play, since one run isn't much of
working margin. On the other
hand, the hit-and-run is more
popular and better executed and
there are many more home runs.
Drawn has to a certain extent
surpassed brains, but there always
will be a decided premium on the
smart ball player, regardless of what
style of play is most popular.
, "I have regretted the passing of
certain features, yet after a time
have become reconciled to the new
styles that are being inaugqrated
and still feel that baseball is the
greatest of all games.

him of having telephone numbers of

he had $4,000 annual income aside
from the $3.50 a month salary he
was getting as secretary to Edward
B. Mclean, publisher.
She declared Voigt gets on horses,
never losing when wagering on NC

coming on C1e neelS OF the Indl-
ana State tournament, the result
was more of an upset than usual,
as Miss Dunn was able to win from
Mrs. Stevenson in that tournament
by only l up in nineteen holes of
play. .
Champ Spectacular
The champion played the most
spectacular round of golf the Cor-
fin course ever has seen a woman
play, and it was the best of Miss
Dunn's career. Her score for the
eighteen holes was 78. No accurate
records of women's scores at Coffin
are available, but it is believed this
is the lowest score a woman ever
has turned in there.
Makes Trick. Shot
The pluck shown by Miss Dunn
in her recoveries was remarkable.
Once she was stymied by tree,
Taking a jigger from her bag, she
struck the ball left-handed (she is.
natural right-hander), and was
able to hole out in only one over
par. 1t seemed certain that she
would lose this hole before her re-
markable shot was made.
Mrs. Stevenson was driving poor
Iy and her brassie shots were far
below her usual play. Particularly
good work with the irons kept her
in the. running until the fourteenth
hole was played.
Both finalists constantly thrilled
large gallery with beautiful iron
shots. Today's victory allows Miss
Dunn to retain both the Indianapo-
lis and Indiana women's titles.
The women certainly have shown
in this tournament that they are
improving their games and doing a
big job of it. Figures do not lie. 1t
is shown that in 1926 a score of 104
qualified the eighth woman in the
championship flight. Three players
with 93s filled sixth, seventh and
eighth places this year. That proves
the statement to the extent of
eleven strokes.
Miss Elizabeth Dunn and Mrs.
B. G. Stevenson, who shot 80 and 80
respectively the first day of the meet
came back the second and whitfield
their scores to 81 and 81. Their
positions in the 80 class we're not
select, however, for eighty" shoot
ers bobbed up here and there
Thursday. One of the most note
worthy was that of Marjorie
Fischer, of Broadmoor.
Marjorie played Mrs. Carl G.
Gibbs, who shot 80, and was al
most certain to beat Miss Fischer's
regular game, which has been in the
COS. Our women are improving, we
insist, and Miss Fischer walloped
out an "a, Thursday. To do it she
shot seven holes in par and was
more than one over only twice. To
offset those she holed out approach
shots on holes II and IL from off
the green to play par four after be-
ing in trouble.
Nip and tuck matches were played
right down to the fifth flight. Mrs.
Frank Jones and Mrs. George Kadel
staged feature struggle to the last
hole. Mrs. Kadel won, one up, when
her 100-yard approach shot struck
the flag stick and bounded foot
away from the cup for an easy putt.
Most of the women who shot
medal scores Tuesday over 100 were
down In the 80 class Thusrday.
Those in the 80 class were near the
80's. Tournament play is helping

Breaking into the majors Two
years prior to Johnson, have been
of the belief that the pitching OF
today was much inferior to that
offered by the old-timers. Naturally
I expected Johnson's opinion to bear
out that belief. 1t didn't.
"While we had lots more pitching
battles in the old days." remarked
johnson, st don't know that the
natural ability of the old-timers was
any greater than the present day
stars.
"There are many more handicaps
today for pitcher to overcome than
fifteen to twenty years ago. Lively
baseballs and plenty of them, short
fences, making even a four-run lead
far from safe, and a desire on the
part of every player to take a
healthy swing, has added much to
the woes of the modern pitcher" he
said.

there seemed to be a greater
