ton has been let loose against the
working class, it is pointed out.
War preparations are putting ever
greater burdens on the workers
shoulders, while the government has
become the open instrument of Wall
Street. The Hoovers, Smiths, Leh-
mans and Roosevelts are all openly
serving the same Wall Street mas
tiers. The fascist A. F. l.. machine
is working in close collaboration
with the bosses, and the Socialist
party has not only given up even
the pretense of being az working
class party, but it has openly par
ticipated in every attack against the
workers.
"Only the Communist Party
champions the interests of the
working class. In every class
battle, the Communist Party can be
found leading the. workers into
struggle for the improvement Of its

quests the workers to send delegates

Fascists Beaten by
Workers Defense;
Police Helpless

PATERSON, N. j., April TO-
Fascist hoodlums got good lesson
in working class defense when they
tried last night to disrupt a May
Day mobilization meeting and at
tackled the speakers. The meeting
was held by the Communist Party
and Young Communist league at the
corner Of Main and Bank streets.
When the speaker proceeded to ex-
pose Hoover's fascist role in the sup
preston of the working class, one
of the thugs jumped at him but
was promptly repulsed by the guard
around the platform. His compan-
ions tried to break up the meeting
at that time, but met firm resist
ance on the part of the large num-
Der of workers in the audience. They
were sent home with some quite Wis
ible end sensible memories. The
meeting went on all the time, the
speakers not stopping for one
second. 4e .s-toro.
The game had apparently been
arranged with the cooperation of the
police, as there was not one cop
around during the attack. But when
later whole carload of them ar
rived, they just stood aghast, find
ing not the expected disorder and
broken-up meeting but swelling
crowd of workers attentively listen
ing, and the proyocateurs cleared
away. They didn't dare interfere.

as their own chattel; they care nothing, or
practically nothing. about developing some
body else,s ivory just for the glory of the thing.
Sometimes it takes years to develop bit Of
ivory to the point where it finally is accepted
as the genuine article. And the number of ball
players who have been up and down between
the majors and the bushes forms an interesting
battalion, each with story.

California His debut took place eight years
ago with Edmonton of the Western Canada
League.
In 1922 Babe, who had shown quite q pro-
ficiency in clouting the ball. was brought up to
Detroit with Heinie ManuSh. Herman was cast
adrift at once. While he could hit anything q
pitcher took o notion to throw, he was q lost
ball in the outheld. It was even bet whether
Babe caught fly ball in his glove or on the
head He made classical terrible mistakes chas-
ing drives So he was sent to Reading Pa.
They saw him foozle couple of flies there, and
on his way he went, to Omaha. He played
in 90 ball games for Omaha, batted AIS, was
hit on the head with fly ball, and given his
release.
How can release a player who is hitting
400?" the manager of the Omaha team
plaintively asked the president of the club.
IT don't care II he is hitting .4000," is the
reported reply. 81 don't want any ball players
killed in my outfield"
So he went. But the Red Sox were needing
a hitter, so Lee Fohl took chance on the
Babe. He was tried at this position and that,
and showed great disregard for the conventions
of fielding balls in flight. Lee Fohl tried to
correct him-but Herman didn't like Boston

and cared less for the Red Sox. so he was
released.
Otto Miller who was managing Atlanta in
the Southern League, took him on, and the fans
of Atlanta were treated to some circus antics
in the outfield and some very serious work
with the bat.
MILLER at length decided to fire the Babe.
~ The day he made the decision Herman
broke up the ball game with a timely blow.
That gave him another days lease on life. The
next day he did the same. It continued for
five days, and on the last day Babe batted q
perfect 1000.
Babes departure was only delayed because

they literally couldn't get him out Then they
sent this willing slave to Memphis The same
thing happened there-Babe was finally routed
over the slave trails to Seattle. Spencer
Abbott, scouting for Brooklyn, saw Babe and
opined that his fielding faults could be cor
rected. Uncle Wilbert took him, saw him catch
a fungo with his ear, and traded him to
Minneapolis That was in 1925. and Babe
broke down all the fences in the American
Association. Robbie brought him back to good
old Brooklyn again.

With the advent of a new city ad- minstration the hold over chair men, etc., and members of boards, etc, and superintendents, etc., positions that come under the cate gory of to the victor belong the perquisites of office-make way for tho venerable political rule that new brooms sweep clean.
 This being the situation one can only hope that no mistakes are made. There has been considerable trouble with boards in the past, Mir. Paonessa once having much to worry about in keeping his machinery Of administration working smoothly through the boards.
 Mayor Quigley starts with the us ual scurrying from office by the as sistants in the administration, who rather than be asked to leave, pre- fer to "hand in their rcsignations '' They do so reluctantly for the most part, but few care to hang on until they are kicked out That is the modus operandi of politics.
 To the newcomers let there he a hearty welcome But when they mess up their jobs there usually is no mercy shown. The gentlemen operat- ing the new brooms must watch their strokes. ...
