Haywood Takes a Shot at
Campers and Boss Friends

One of the richest descriptions of
persons Haywood gives in his me-
moirs now being published serially
in the Daily Worker, is his picture
of Sam Gompers. Do not miss one
issue of the Daily Worker which
will soon reach his story of how he
met Gompers and what he thought
Of that notorious chief of labor
takers.
In the periodical "The Nations
Business" for August 1928, appeared
an estimate of both Gompers and
Haywood, written by the millionaire
Civic Federation official. John Hays
Hammond, who did his part in
fighting the anthracite miners of
Pennsylvania in Roosevelt's time.
Hammond was busy on imperialism
schemes the world over.
For his part in the British i'm
perialist armed aggression in Trans
vaal, South Africa, in 1896,
Hammond was sentenced to death,
but finally got off by his imperialist
masters paying s125,000 fine. He
later became most active for Ameri-
can imperialism in Latin-Amorica
and in corrupting labor leaders of
the A. F. of L.
In the periodical mentioned, this
arch-imperialist speaks as follows
about Gompers and Haywood:
Samuel Gompers was the worlds
strongest single factor opposed to So
cialism. shudder to think what
might have happened during the war
and afterward if some such char
acter as Big Bill Haywood had dis
placed him fifteen years ago"
Haywood's memoirs also will take
a crack at this imperialist John
Hays Hammond, whose tribute to
Gompers and attack on Bill Hay
wood should show American workers
which of the two was really fighting
during their lives for the interest of
labor. Gompers rushed into the
arms of this slimey imperialist that

Manager New York Giants

I think it will be great race. with
at least four clubs in a hot battle all
the way. expect the Giants to stay
right up there from the start.
Three or four clubs will surely
have a great chance to win. 1t is al.
most certainty that New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and Pittsburgh
will put up a battle royal.
Chicago has been greatly strength
ened by the addition of Hornsby. He
has given that club a big punch
and they will be hard to stop. st.
Louis has a first-class team that
cannot be counted out, and the same
can be said for Pittsburgh.
I think the Giants are stronger
than they were last year and you
know how close they came then
to winning. We have well
balanced club and the spirit Of
the players is wonderful. will
certainly be surprised If the
Giants do not make grand race.

DEMPSEY PLANS
RETURN To RING

NEW YORK. April Is. = Jack
Dempsey has admitted that he is
ready to fight again-this year.
Thus he fulfills a prediction made
few weeks ago when Dempsey
formed his partnership with Hum
bert Fugazy and Edwin Cole.
Who, or where the old champion
will fight depends largely on the
maneuvering of Max Schmeling, his
German double, but Dempsey is g-t-
ting set to go in September. Jack
returned to New York yesterday
from Detroit and will confer today
with Fugazy and Cole on the de-
velopment of his two weeks survey
of the boxing situation in Detroit
and Chicago.
He was rather guarded when
pressed to explain q statement
he made in Chicago last week to
the effect that he was resuming
training and would be ready for
q fight in a few months.
Eyes, I am going to lay out a
training program just as soon as
we get our summer promotion plans

GAMES
CALLED OFF

Although little scholastic athletic
activity was scheduled for today,
the baseball game and one tennis
match which were on the card are
now off. The steady rain and cold
weather has necessitated this. West
ern was to have met Catholic U.
Freshmen in baseball and Episcopal
and St. Adams tennis match was
the other event.
Weather permitting, now the cur
rent phrase for everything. Tech
and Central meet tomorrow after
noon in the second game. of the
interhigh series at Eastern Stadium
The game was originally billed for
this afternoon. but the opening at
Griffith Park caused the high
officials to postpone the game.
Captain Ross and Tack En-
sOr probably will be the Op-
posing pitchers when this pair
clash tomorrow. Ross is the be-
spectacled hurler who did quite
well for Central last year and
is confident of pitching his
mates to a high place in the
coming series.
Ensor also is veteran of expert
ence in high school baseball and 1t
is upon his good left wing that the
high hopes of Tech supporters for
another championship largely rest.
However, if Central upsets Coach
Edwards tossers Eastern should
repeat in walk.
The only affair scheduled yester-
day that was completed was the
fourth consecutive win for the
Maryland lacrosse team at Geneva,
N. Y, when the Old Liners ran
roughshod over Hobart, 10 to 0.
Tomorrow's college program calls
for baseball games between Mt. st.
Marys at Georgetown and Fort
Leonard. Wood at Gallaudet and
Catholic US track debut at vii.
liamsburg, Va, against William
and Mary.
Besides the interhigh game Tech
and Central also will meet in ten.
