Monday morning when the prosecu-
ton concentrated its murder cam
paign on Beal and six others:

they still have. They now confess
the flimsiness of this framed-up evil
dence by dropping the charges
against us.
why were we jailed? Why did
the garnd jury indict us?
"The answer is plain. We were
jailed as part of the attempt of
the bosses to smash our union which
is the purpose of their attempt to
railroad us to electrocution or the
penitentiary. They now admit that
they could not obtain a first degree
verdict against any of us and cannot
even obtain a verdict of any sort
against those of us whom they have
released. Those who are still on
trial did no more than we did and
they are as innocent" as we are

the same company which owns the

1000 workers struck.
In the Long Island plant young

terrible speed-up system, and we

on strike, and hope that they stand
firm on their demands. Over here
the bosses are scared and they are
watching everybody, but l am tell
ing all the workers here what the
Kansas City workers did.
Here in this plant the workers
are far from being satisfied. The
girls and men are always saying
that someone should come and or
ganize them.
Now the company is forcing US
to work all day no Saturday for

BULLETIN.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. g.
The twelfth juror was selected at
4:21 p. m. today in the Gastonia
case trial. All the seven jurors
added today are from the non
industrial regions, by court order.
The last two selected are farmers.
The defense had only one per-
emptOry challenge left, and the
prosecution two. Out of the en-
tire last panel, only two persons,
both workers, expressed belief in
the innocence of the defendants,
which is the smallest proportion
of any panel previously in either
trial. There were only ten work
ers in the entire list examined
today. The jury is almost exclu-
sively farmer. The state opens
its case tomorrow morning.
The jurymen are: John L. Todd
rural mail carrier; E. L. Moore, Ford
Motor Company employe; Zeke
Johnson, retired business man, and
J. A. Helms, c. L. Hill, j. w. Elliott,

many as two hits land neither
double nor triple has surged from
his bat. l doubt If he has driven
in more than three runs, although
scoring six as strictly personal
gesture.
These figures are more or less
casual since, as a statistician,
claim to be a high grade ckump.
However, they serve their purpose
in indicating that all, indeed, is not
well with our Mr.. Ruth.
His batting average is trifIing
enough, but it doesn't tell the story,
Ruth has been a perennial leader
in runs scored, runs driven in, extra
base hitting and passes, in addition
to his home runs. Except in the
department first mentioned, he has
been almost obscure.
As for his two home runs, a
continuance of that pace viii
get him a few more than 30 at
the pay off in October.
OF course, it may all come out
in Mondays Wash, for Mr.. Ruth ID
an impulsive man and given to
moods that defy explanation. He
does nothing for ten days and, on
the eleventh, he does everything,
leaving you the rest Of the night
in which to identify the dead and
dying.
At the same time, I don't think
even Mr.. Ruth will deny that he
might be able to use the three or
four home runs that he hasn't got
so far.

Charley Lyons has topped the
singles bowlers in Class A with a
gathering of 378 and in the A
doubles Tommy Nolan and Frank
Mischou are on top with a 72S
total. Lyons dropped 153 NAPLES
in his last game to crash into the
ascendancy.
The other new leaders in the

fee team of the Suburban League
whose 1875 mark easily tops the
teams in Class B. The Special
Assessment team of the Audit Re-
view League spilled 1,540 pins for
the leadership of the teams in
Class E.
Some of the best scoring since
the start of the meet was made
by the fair bOwlers last night,
the 1,549 mark achieved by the
Commercials featuring.
Closely behind the Commercials
came the Hoboes, who crashed the
wood for final tabulated total of
1877. TIE Beeques also passed the
1900 mark, by the slim count of one
pin, Elaine Palmer led the Com
mercial assault with an individual
effort of 366 and Marjorie Bradt

He has trundled his way through
10 games to date to dapper .2I6
in the batting records and, as time
goes on, the way he gets no better
is downright interesting. Ruth
didn't have many points to waste
but he lost about Is of them dur
ing the week which ended today.
The boy friend often complained
querulously in other years that he
would hit 65 or 20 home runs If
the pitchers would pitch to him
but today he has no more come
back than a toothbrush, slightly
used. The boys are throwing them
right past his indignant bosom, with
the result that he hasn't been
passed more than five times and
only two of his drives have been
hit with sufficient raneor as to
leave the pastime abruptly.
One Of these was made off
Hadley i'm Washington and goes
down i'm the records as the only
typical Ruth hit Of the year to
date. The other came from a
half-swing at one of Rulings
deliveries on the occasion of
the great mans first time at
bat this season.
The rest Of the time he has been
topping his drive or something.
Thirteen times, more or ], :. has
he been retired on infield chances,
seven times has he famed and
perhaps as many as 10 men have
been left on base.
In no game has he made as
