Sell-Out General Strike.
The general trucking strike de-
handed by representatives of the
$4,000 organized truckmen at meet
ing last Friday has been definitely
blocked by A. F. L. officials. Mis-
leaders of Local 553 yesterday mott
fled the executives Of the other
truckmen's locals to withhold action
for the present and called off the
meeting set for today, at which the
general strike was to have been
called.
The T.U.U.L. is today distributing
copies of leaflet formulating the
demands of the strikers, calling
upon them not to be terrorized into
submission by the police and goril-
las, urging that rank and file COM
mittees take full charge of the
struggle.
"The republican and democratic
politicians are helping to mislead the
workers to scab against you," the
leaflet says. "They are also bring
ing in gangsters to prevent these
workers from joining you. You have
seen from experience that these
workers are in sympathy with your
strike and are ready to join in your
struggle, as they did Monday morn
ing when over hundred white and
Negro workers demonstrated their
solidarity by walking out at Kent
Ave. and N. 10th st.
From the statement Of your Of
ficials, we, who have the experience
of many previous struggles, see that
they are preparing to sell out your
demands. You must insist that you
will not go back to work without an
8-hour day. without an increase in
wages, without recognition of your
union.
The Trade Union Unity League
calls upon you to
Make it 100 per cent strike!
Fight against police brutality!

Weinstone characterized this as
the kind of vague, sinister twaddle
peddled by the socialists in an effort
to delude the workers that the CAPT

Communist Demands.
As against these vague demands

Communist Party offers the follow

Weinstone said that the endorse

the Citizens Union some time ago
was also in line with the general ac-
ceptance of the socialist party as an
ally of business.
"The Communist candidates would
contemptuously scorn an endorse

These endorsements indicate defi-

to the capitalist class, distinguished
from the La Guardia campaign only
BY the more studied demagogy OF

"The scene in st. Johns Lutheran

Thomas met La Guardia in debate,

a picturesque illustration that we

This French comedy reveals "a
cross section of the upper middle

cious, grasping shrewish wife of a
forlorn husband of the Substantial

covers that her daughter, pathetic

father is the gardner.
In spite of all her trickery to con-
ceal the facts from her relatives
and friends, a music teacher dis
covers the secret and, through a
gentleman of the cloth, blackmails
the old dame into consenting to her
marriage with him. The
is wiling to accept the
somewhat damaged girl and assures
the mother that he, himself, is a

her neighbors and relatives, thus
saving the face of the family.

, America, Mr.. Bozeman Bulger,
of the New York Evening World,
who not so long ago wrote a
serial for the Saturday Evening
Post entitled, TWENTY-FIVE
Years in Sports"
Mr.. Bulger writes in his copy
righted column:
"A good hatrack in baseball
is worth to himself five or six
thousand dollars a year. If
conscience would permit him to
operate in a football game he
would be worth twice as much.
ITO the baseball public this
gent is known as the third base
coach. To ball players he Is
the 'hatrack.' On him are hung
all the Signals-or signs to use
the vernacular-that makes the
machine click. In football he
is supposed to no longer exist,
since it is considered upSports-
manlike for the coach to make
suggestions to his Captain while
the plays are in progress. Base
ball has no such inhibitionS.
The main idea is to win.
"'And do you know was re-
marked in a group Of submerged
baseballers two days ago, that
many a pennant has been lost by
having games hung on a hatrack
who had poor judgment or guess
ed wrong?'
yep agreed one scribe. I
can name IL games that were
thrown away by the Giants last
season by failure of the hatracE
to send a runner home on a
, fairly long fly ball
"'And,' added a scout, it's a
cinch that the Yanks lost more
than a half dozen that way
who we asked, do you fel-
lows regard the very best hat
rack in baseball?'

comedian at the World Series
but his main living comes from
his uncanny Judgment in hand
ling the signals during the sea

Did you ever notice that Nick
IAltrock never works on the third
base side? That's because NICK
gets so worked up in the game
that he sometimes forgets to play
his cards. In one game three
wears ago Altrock was so com
pletely unnerved in his anxiety
that he lay down on the bench

see the next two innings.

and generally was there despite
the strenuous efforts Of his op-
ponents to block him out.
Were he a rowing lineman on
defense such as a center, it
would be safe to hazard a guess
that Cordovano would make 80
per cent of the tackles during a
game. At no time does he leave
his own position unguarded in
the line to move over to the
place where he anticipates the
play to be going until he is sure
he won't be tricked in pulling
out too soon.
John Dagrossa, Hilltop line
coach, says of Cordovano that
"he combines the mechanics of
his position to a finer degree
than any player I have known
and is just about the best player
in his position I have ever seen"
Head Coach Lou Little and the
others Of the Georgetown coach.
ing staff also hold Cordovano
in the same high regard.
There isn't q harder
worker or a more willing one
on the Georgetown squad
than COrdOvanO either. He
is always one Of the very
first players on the field for
practice and one of the last
ones to leave.
Besides having such a great
spirit and love of the game.
Cordovano also is one of the
most durable players on the
team. He hasn't had time taken
out for injury in any game this
year and usually has played the
entire so minutes of the game.
It's little wonder that the
Hilltop mentors hold him in such
high esteem and when the critics
get together in selecting their star
elevenS they can't go wrong in
naming Cordovano for either a
guard or tackle berth because he
is equally at home in either one.

the play. In brief, the better
team won.
There wasn't any doubt
that this was so in Pitts
case. Tech, in fact, did very
well to score. TenneSSee's

Sive. McEver and Hackman

Of two major calamities before
the Big Ten title was hers, these
being Northwestern's defeat by
Indiana, 10. to IA, and Michi-
gan's victory over Minnesota, I
to 6. Both were last-period vic
tories and both were earned.
But, in this, they had nothing
on Purdue'S win from Iowa.
Twice the latter was held for
downs inside the 10-yard line,
while the Purdue touchdown was
as legitimate as a marriage
license.
It was quite a day for substi-
tute heroiSm, one McLennon, OF
Yale, beating Princeton, 13 to 0.
while it was Ross, of Indiana, who
ran for the winning touchdowI1S,
with Northwestern leading, IA to
6, and only 10 minutes to play.
Wilson, another substitute, was
the lad who carried Michigan'S
attack through a laSt-period drive
to beat the Gophers, too.
These latter were two of the
days great upsets. The third
was Stanford'S 13-to-7 defeat by
Santa Clara, which repeated its
victory of two Years ago, even to
the score. This one was. earned.
too, Santa Clara coming back
with a successful march to the
goal after the Cardinals had tied
the score.
This affair seems to send Cali.

ence champion, although the
Bears looked as though they were
saving up a lot of trouble for
the Stanford game. They only
beat Washington, Z to 0, on two
passes by Lom, aggregating 81
yards. However, the Huskies are
getting rapidly no worse as the

B,k KIRK MILLER~

We believe there is a very
good chance of Georgetown
and Navy playing football
again next fall, despite the
impression that is general to
the effect that when Navy
scheduled Maryland, it was
doing so at the expense Of the
Blue and Gray.
Through the we'll known
grapevine route, word has come
that in the face of the two
splendid efforts of which
Georgetown acquitted itself on
Farragut Field this season and
in 1926, Coach Ingram is
strongly in favor Of retaining
the Georgetown game, possibly
on a home and home basis.
In view Of the thousands of
WaShingtonianS who negotiated
the 80 or 40 miles to Annapolis
under inadequate traffic condi.
tionS, observers both at George
town and at Annapolis believe
such a game would be a selI-out
at Clark Griffith Stadium. It
would give Washington the one
"big shot: it requires to register
as a great football city, and
don't be surprised to see this
very thing come about.
Contrary to an impression
that went forth several weeks
ago, Harry Sinclair. the multi
millionaire sportsman, is taking
his rap at the District Jail in a
very sportsmanlike way. I am
informed by my fellows. who
refused to squawk to the Grand
Jury as to certain phases of
their rum investigation, that
Sinclair has impressed all hands
with the splendid spirit in which
he has taken his bump"
His attitude is that of a
gambler who loSes-swallowing
his medicine like a man, not
grumbling, and accepting the
philosophy that it is all in the
game. His friends in the racing
racket know he is not one to
Sulk or moon over momentary
misfortune, and it is cheering to
every sportsman to be reas-
Sured that the owner of the
RancocaS Stable is neither down
nor out over his present plight,
which is soon due to come to
an end.
It may be that the first track
meet staged in WASHINGTON
under the auspices of the newly
formed District Amateur Ath.
letic Association will be staged
at Catholic University gym
nasium, after the holidays.
The baseball public generally
underestimate the value of the
third base coach. We have
been foolish enough at times to
enter into disputes with this
fan or that who questioned the
value Of AL Schacht to the
Washington Club. and in sup
port of our defense of AL, we
are pleased to submit the fol.
lowing from the pen Of one of
