be no trouble about filling
the stands for the worlds series. They
say that the Chicago club was forced
to send back checks totaling million
and q half dollars. And the Athletics
could sell their park out f1ve times
over.
When you consider that 1t was not
so many years ago that the attendance
at the Athletics park often could be
counted in the dozens this would ap-
pear to be a fair increase. A winner
never has room enough for the Gus
toners, but loser rarely is cramped for
space.
In spite of the rush for world series
tickets, the season undoubtedly has been
carried to q ridiculous length. The
races were really over weeks ago and
now the boys are able to 60 fishing be-
tween games.
This probably viii not happen again.
Neither Bernard nor Heydler is in
favor of dragging the races out beyond
natural limits, but an extra Saturday
and Sunday to an owner possess the
fascination of jam to small boy.

AS, CUBS AGREED
ON SERIES RULES
"Quick Returns" Barred and
Empires Will DiscoIor
All New Balls.

By the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO. october 8-An ques-
lions of base ball rules inter-
probation were threshed out
~ before the start Of play In the
first game today and tnstruc-
lions issued to govern the umpires.
There will be no quick returns" by
pitchers and umpires will discolor the
balls before putting them in play, both
In Chicago and Philadelphia.
Conditions in the two playing fields
caused one change. At Chicago If a
pitched ball strikes the backstop or
screen in front of the stand a base
runner will be permitted to advance
only one base. In Philadelphia If such
q ball strikes the backstop or screen
in front of the stand and remains
within the field of play base runner
may advance as many bases as he can
make.
A ball going into the stands or q
dug-out when thrown to first or third
base by @ pitcher In an effort to catch
a base runner mapping will permit an
advance Of two bases.
II q fairly batted ball bounds into
q stand on foul territory 1t will be a
two-base hit.
The rules as to interference with
batted balls by spectators also we're
clarified.

As Only T,uo Clubs Are Playing,
One of These Must Be Correct
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
StaR CORRESPONDENT,

CHICAGO, October 8.-Wash-
ington being an American League
city it naturally favors this cir
cults champion in world series,
but this time I am swinging to
the other big loop. I look for the
Cubs, National League champions,
to cop in the annual base ball
classic that gets underway here
today.
I believe the Cubs will prove
stronger hitters than the Athletics,
despite the power at bat Connie
Mack'S crew showed in the league
championship season.
I expect EarnShaw to do some
good hurting for the AS, but I
have an idea the Cubs will punish
Mack'S left-handerS.
Other than EarnShaw, do not
see where Mack has any pitcher
to check Joe McCarthy'S men.
But this is merely an opinion,
I picked the Nationals to be pen
nant contenders before the sea-
son started.
And how poor was that pick?

BY DENMAN THOMPSON,
Sports Editor of The Star.

CHICAGO, October 8.-The
Athletics will win. It might be
better advised to use the word
should" instead of will" but
why temporize when there is no
penalty attached to guessing
wrong?
Both clubs are good, or they
wouldn't have copied in their
respective circuits, but it is my
notion that the Mackmen are
champions of a stronger loop than
that which Chicago represents.
Proof of that is found in the
margin of victories held by the
American League since the Fall
classics were inaugurated, topped
off with straight game triumphs
in the last two series.
The fact of the matter is that
anything can happen in a short
set of tits such as the one start
ing today, and that the club that
gets the breaks" will grab the
heavy end of the purse. think
that team will be Philadelphia.
The AS will win.

MACKS F|RST,LAST
SEVEN YEARS EACH
Had "Distinction" of Ending
in Eighth Place From
1915 to 1922.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TINE Philadelphia Athletics not
only have the best record in t.
league in winning seven pen
Il nants in the American clrcIaS
but also may soon have Sha
second worst record for finishing last
Only the Boston Red Sox will have a
more unenviable record for finishing
in the cellar, provided they are last
this year. Then they would have eight
basement championships to the AS
seven.
A feature of the Athletics cellar rec
ord is that they made it all in a row
from the time Connie Mack broke up
his great team after the 1914 season
through the World War period to and
including 1921.
Besides the proud performance of
seven pennants, the Athletics also hold
the fine record of having finished Sec
ond more times than any other club
in the league, being the runner-up six
times.
In all the years since 1901 the club
has had but one manager-Cornelius
McGillicuddy-but two presidents Ben
jamin F. Shibe and Thomas B. Shibe,
father and son, and but one business
manager, John D. Shibe, another son.

given war or army. Such a posi-
tion must be taken up at the pres
ent time in those provinces in China
which are under the rule of Kuomin-
tang generals.
In laying down the military pro-
gram for oppressed countries, con-
sideration must be given to the stage
Of economic and political develop
mcnt of those countries.
1. In those countries in which
the democratic revolution has not
yet been accomplished, the slogan
of the armed nation Irrational mil
itia) must be adopted, particularly
in those countries where the class
rupture between the bourgeoisie and
the proletariat is not yet very
strongly expressed (Syria, Morocco
and Egypt. This slogan must be
linked Up with democratic demands
directed against feudalism and the
feudal and bourgeois officers. In
countries in which class differentia-
ton is strongly expressed, but where
the bourgeois revolution has not yet
been accomplished, for example in
Latin-American countries, this slo-
gan must bear the class character
of a workers and peasants militia.
s. In countries passing through
tho CT Of 4io rauo1,+ioI,
the slogan for militia will prove in
adequate and must therefore be ex-
panded into the slogan: organize a
revolutionary army. This, Of course,
does not prevent the militia slogan
from being advanced at the same
time, particularly in preparing for
rebellion. 1t must be noted that
arming the proletariat does not con-
tradict the demand for the armed
nation; in fact, the armed prolctariat
is fundamental part of the armed
nation. While participating in the
general organization of the armed
nation, it is absolutely essential tc
set up special. proletarian, armed
units, commanded by officers elected
by these units.
8. In countries passing from the
stage of democratic revolution to
proletarian revolution, the military
program of the Communists in i'm
perialist countries may be adopted,
with certain concrete modification.
Proletarian Militia
The slogan proletarian militia "a
militia of the toilers. a workers and
peasants militia) takes the place of
the demand for democratic militia.
When in the process of the revolu-
ton in the colonies, the question of
the immediate seizure of power
arises, the question of organizing
Red Army must be brought up SIM
The daily worker., 1929-07-26
Work Will Differ

The character of the work that
Communists must carry on in ma
tional armies will differ from that
in other types of armies, but it is
extremely important that this work
should be done as the experience of
the national war in China in 1925-27
has shown. In this case, The task
of the Communists is to organize
nuclei throughout the whole of the
army; to make it a more conscious
instrument in the fight against i'm
perialism; in the interests of the ma
tional revolution to fight against the
unreliable elements among the off
GERS, and where the command is not
yet in the hands of the Communists
to subject the command to the con-
troll of the soldiers by the application
Of wide revolutionary democracy. It
must always be borne in mind that
the system of electing officers pre-
vailed in the army of the Convent
during the French revolution, and
that that army achieved great vic
tories, whereas the absolutely un-
democratic system of organization
of the Southern armies in China III
1926-27 greatly facilitated the
treacherous turn taken bv the bour-
geoisie and their generals.
