THE struggle of the young left wing for lead
ership of the Indian Trade Union move
ment over reformst leadership has been 60
ing on during the last two years. 1t at
the eighth session of the Trades Union Con-
gress two years ago that left wing took definite
form and gathered its forces During all the
time before, the reformists have held the In
dian Trade Union movement in the hollow of
its hands. Now the victory has been decisive;
nothing has shown it more clearly than the
recent abandonment, by the All-Indian Con-
gress at Lahore, of the Nehru scheme of do
minion Status" for India within the British
Empire, which was caused by the pressure
of the Indian masses under the leadership of
the left wing of the Indian Trade Union move
ment. With this victory, and, supported by the
Indian masses the left wing must go forward
outlining and carrying forward the tasks that
lead the Indian masses to Soviet Power
Struggle Against Reformists.
Despite the repressive measures directed
against it by the combined forces of the CAPT
talists and the reformists the left wing has
gone forward gaining strength; outstanding in
this regard has been the victory of the left
wing in the Great Indian Railwaymens Union
In order to try to retain their influence and
to counteract the growing influence of the left
wing the 'bourgeoisie are putting forward ma

American method of relieving a man
of the ball or aiding teammate In
gaining possession OF 1t.
In other words, the game was far
from typical of the great Indian pas
time as put on view when two OF the
topnotch American tweIves clash, and
failed to give the fair-sized crowd OF
spectators a real insight on the sport
that Is rapidly growing in favor in the
colleges of the United States.
On the other hand, the contest doubt
less typifled from the two different
angles, the methods of play that pre-
vail in Great Britain and America. AS
has so often been stated and demon
strated, we 60 at our pastimes harder

AS for yesterdays game, it was the
first for both teams and both, naturally,
were little ragged. However, st. Johns
scored four times before the Britons
counted, the half ending to l, and 1t
was evident that the Annapolis twelve
merely coasted along after getting a

Fine Sp0rtsmen.
It is fine to have the Britons over
here and they are a great bunch Of
sportsmen, and it is all well and good for
the schools that can afford to pay the
guarantee, but those who may be
figuring on the gate" to defray the
expenses of putting on the game are
very likely to be disappointed.

matters easy to turn back the visitors,
who were making their first appearance
of their tour, st. Johns did not have
to extend itself and, in view of their
tyne of attack, it was surprising that
the Britons made two goals and got
three other open shots which, with any
sort of accuracy in shooting, would have
registered points.
Weak on Attack.
1t simply is impossible for the Oxford
Cambridge combination to do any scor-
ing of consequence unless the Britons
put more men into the attack. Yester-
day they were sending, at the most, only
six men down the field on the offense
and then half dozen stickmen, finding
fender men, were lucky to even get a
good shot at the 6-foot netting.
In contrast to the six-man offensive
used by the Britons, and they were slow
in getting the half dozen down the field,
St. Johns, typifying the American style
of attack, converged eight men on the
goal in more speedier fashion, and held
the ball in its possession nearly Is per
cent of the time.
with only six men going down on
attack, the Britons not only were out
numbered in their efforts to score, but
were placed in a hopeless position in
time they lost the rubber pellet without
getting a semblance Of "a shot at the
goal.
Not So Aggressive.
Then, too, with the exception Of a
couple of Americans, who were playing
on the British team, the invaders did

ecauSe OF construction or the new
Stadium.
1t seems probable that new school
will triumph in the South Atlantic
events this season. If performances in
doors during the past Winter means
anything, Eastern High is going to be
mighty hard team to defeat. Dewitt,
because of its small squad, is not ex-
pected to repeat, though all its per-
formers are highly capable. Some OF
the other teams, however, may furnish
Eastern much more opposition in its
battle for top honors than is generally
expected, but 1t will not be any of the
teams in the schoolboy group in the
city proper, it is thought.
HyattsvilIe Ambitious.
Several schools, including Hyattsville
High, which has the best team in its
history, figure they have a real chance
to wrest team honors from Frederick
in the county schools competition.
All entries must reach the University
OF Maryland by April 28.
Specially designed gold silver and
bronze medals will 60 to those finishing
first, second and third in each event
and gold watches will be awarded the
two athletes who score the most points
in their respective classes.
In addition to the scholastic meet
which will start at 80 o'clock, Mary
land will hold dual meet with Vir-
ginia, to be run concurrently; the OLD
Line varsity base ball team will meet
Catholic University at 2 o'clock and
the lacrosse twelve will tackle st. Johns

Keen Competition in 1928.
Fine competition marked the 1923
meet and the battle for points in the
coming games also promises to be brisk.
In 1928 Episcopal with 30 points was
the winner but barely defeated Dewitt,
which counted 10. Three North Caro-
lima high schools, Charlotte, Green's
bore and Wilmington were next in order
with Is, is and 10 points, respectively,
while Tech was sixth with 10.
In the county high schools COMPETE
ton Frederick took top honors with IS
points. Towson was second with 10
and Allegheny third with 9.
Records were broken right and left
in the 1928 meet. Seven new standards
were set in the South Atlantic events
and two in the county school tests
This was unusual as in 1927 only four
marks were shattered in the South
Atlantic tests and none In the county
school events.

TN a castle called Yildiz Kiosk,

a Sultan -Caliph of the Faithful called Abdul
Han1id.
Nov this Sultan Caliph was richer than
even the famous Harun-al-Rashid OF Bagdad,
for the city of Bagdad was only tiny corner
OF the formers dominions. Abdul Hamid had
1000 wives. more jewels than any ruler OF
Christendom, mines of gold, silver and Oil. and
domnions that stretched from sea to sea.
Alas! MISFORTUNE fell upon him, and the
great Sultan was stripped even more naked

then died in despair. The great OSman family,
utterly ruined, was blown over the earth like
dead leaves. Was it not tragic, o Prince OF

Abdul Hands last ride IN state prior
to his deposition by the young Turks,
OhO also confscated his property.
That made the harem life joy for most of U.S."
The recovery of even Q small part Of the
gigantic estate Of Abdul Hamid, better known
as abdul the Damned" means q lot to his
nine widows, not to mention all the other rela-
tives. But whether or not they have much
chance of ever getting possession Of any Of It
is another question. The history Of this prop
erty Is very involved and even international
courts may be baffled in trying to untangle the
rights to it.
In old imperial Turkey the OSmanl Sultan
CaliphS, who were absolute monarchS, had q
huge personal fortune that they passed down
from one to another. It consisted largely Of
SpoilS OF war, such as treasure, territory and
confiScated estates of traitors. Incidentally, the
idea of rulers grabbing everything worth while
in their country is not exclusively Oriental, for
the fabulously rich Belgian KongO was the
personal property Of Leopold II, while King
Alfonso has big block of free stock in prac-
tically every industrial enterprise in Spain.
Abdul Hands estate consisted Of:
The MoSul oil fields.
A collection Of Jewels at the seragliO estimated
at between $780, 900 and 500, 100000
A large portion of the Province Of Macedonia.
containing many mines.
Almost half of the Province of Saloniki, with
tens of thousands of acres Of fine tobacco soil.
Zinc mines on the Isle I'D Of TaSSOS
Immense holdings in Syria, MeSopotAmia,
Palestine, Cyprus and hundreds Of other prop
critics in Anatolia.
TN 1909 the Young Turks, or Progressive party,
overthrow Abdul Hamid and elected q new
Parliament. which confiScated all his property
in favor of the nation, and in return gave him
. large amount of money every year for HIM
self and his innumerable family.
