KID HURLER
HAS GOOD
RECORD

uEOUIHD
By BOB THAYER.
Because his boyhood pal, Bobby
Stevens, thinks he's got the stuff,
Eddie Helm, a resident. of Ken
sington, Md, will get full,
fledged trial with the Newark
Bears, of the Int terna i o nal
League, this coming season.
Primarily Eddie is a pitcher. A
rather short, slender chap, his
lack of an athletic physique has
handicapped him repeatedly. To
Bobby, though, he looks the part
of a great prospect and he has
consequently convinced the New
ark club that Helm is worthy of
q fling.
While with Central High School
several years back, Helm failed to
register. One look at the reed-like
youth convinced the coach that
he would be wasting time lining
him up and he was therefore
politely but firmly denied a uni
form.
Many boys would have quit
there. Not so with Eddie.
He Immediately shifted to the
Montgomery County League,
which then included some of
the Districts best players, and
started making a name for
himself.
While still in his teens Helm,
a right handler, impressed with a
we'll rounded display of stuff and
his steady improvement soon
marked him as Standout slab
ster.
He's too good to be hanging
around this neck of the woods -
hitters who opposed him declared.
but Eddie. reluctant to step into
professional baseball, labored on
for the love of the game.
Last year the youngSter. now
ranging between % and % years,
started taking himself seriously.
With a SCaggSville, Md, semi-pro
club, and a none too powerful
o1e, he pitched some phenomenal
ball, showing particularly we'll as
the season Waned.
In one instance he Is reported
to have let down the Elkton, Md,
nine without a hit while striking
out IS batSmen in a seven in
ming game. Eighteen StrikeoutS
and only one hit resulted from
another of his blue ribbon per-
formanceS.

from Newark that he hustled

II knew Eddie had the Goods"
Bobby explained last night when
questioned, so I Immediately got
busy. I wrote the officials of the
Newark Club and asked them to
give him a trial. And I got quite
a kick out of a return letter
which agreed to bring Ed up for
a trial.
I've known Helm a long time.
He had lots of stuff when we
were kids and it was no fault of
his own that he didn't make him
self name as Schoolboy. This
will be the first real chance he
ever had to cash in on his ability,
Eddie isn't a big fellow but
he's lots stronger than most
people think. And with this
chance to make good there's
no reason why he shouldn't
step out and get somewhere in
this baseball racket"
Bobby, who made name for
himself as a 5hortstoprer with
Newark in 1929, is awaiting his
new contract and on the strength
of last years showing, figures
to draw salary boost.
It is understood that the
former Western high school SEN
sation was the recipient of
substantial bonus following the
close of the 1929 campaign, so
satisfactory was his work to the

were held, the trial against the
counter-revolutionary disrupters and

yesterday with the reading of the

leaders of the industrial party.
At the moment of the reading of
the indictment the entire city of
Moscow was in demonstration Huge
columns of demonstrators, factory
workers, filed past the hall in one of
the most powerful demonstrations
held in recent years. The demon

How 1t Happened.
Ranzin began by picturing the
conditions under which the engineers

said, because of the revolution lost

capitalism. The difficulties accom-

ing intervention came from abroad

away from the alleged crisis in the

The Soviet prosecution will not

LATEST REPORT

MOSCOW, Nov. 26. Professor
Ramzin at this mornings trial re-
viewed the wrecEing activities of the
industrial party" in the SOVIET Union
confirming and simplifying his pre-
vious statements. Instructions for
united activity of the wreckers was
given by the emigres.
In 1927 the whole activity was di-
rected to the preparation for inter-
vention. The main objective was the
restriction of the pace Of develop
ment of industry. Instructions we're
worked out in secret meetings Of the
Central Committee of the industrial
party" The activity embraced all
branches of industry. The wreckers
developed plans for the creation of
crisis above all in the meal, electric
and fuel industries. In proportion as
the movement approached for inter-
vention, the espionage work in-
creased The central committee"
provided detailed reports to the trade
and industry committee in Paris, and
to the French general staff regarding
the electrical, agricultural and war
industries.
Admits Heavy Grimes"
Concluding, Ranlzin declared, Z
am aware of the heavy committed.
We aimed at the overthrow OF the
Soviet power with the help of inter-
vention. We committed reason, not
only against the Soviet state, but
against the native country which was
to be plunged into starvation, war
and misery. AS enemies of Socialism
and the Proletarian Dictatorship we
we're agents of French imperialism.
The whole heavy responsibility lies
on the members of the central COM
mite of the industrial party, es-
pecially on me as leader"
The next accused engineer, Larit-
chev, was called, Speaking with self
possession, Laritchev began with
complete admission of guilt. He de-
clared it was his duty to reveal be-
fore the whole world full picture
of the wrecking activities and pre-
paration for intervention. He des-
cribed in detail the causes of the

Clear Talk.
The statements of the defendants
we're extraordinarily clearly con-
structed and give a deep insight into
the political differentiation within
the engineering section. Beginning
with the Fiye-Rear Plan they melted
all engineers to the establishment of
their general line: restoration of
capitalism in opposition to the gem
eral line of the Communist Party in
building up Socialism. The organi-
cation of the secret party with def
mite political character aimed at the
control of industry, and was widened
by the development OF other secret
parties; peasants party and Gro-
MAINS manshevik group. The char

AMTORG PROTEST
MELLON EMBARGO
Prohibiting Imports Is
End of Trade

NEW YORK. Amtorg Trading
Corporation, which handles most of
the trade between Soviet Union and
U. s., regards the new order signed
Monday by Mellon as practically the
end of the trade which keeps thous-
ands of American workers at their
jobs, If the prohibition of imports
from the Soviet Union made possible
by that order is actually put into ef-
feet. This is the giSt of a statement
issued by Peter A. Bogdnaov, chair
man of the board of directors of Am
tory, yesterday. The statement says
in part:
THE new regulations issued by the
Treasury Department will undoubt-
edly prove a surprise to the business
organizations in this country trading
with the Soviet Union. Various in
terpretations of the aims and pur-
poses Of these regulations have APP
peared in the press. ! can only ex-
press my fear that in an atmosphere
OF continued attacks on the limited
Soviet imports into this country by
certain groups and individuals, at
temptS ma be made under these reg
ulations by those opposed to Soviet
American trade to render its course
more difficult, or even impossible.
The absence of normal relations be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
United States would make it easier
for these groups to accomplish this
aim.
s Times Pre-War
THE Amtorg Trading Corporation
has always striven to expand the eco
/ nomic relations between the two
countries. During the twelve months
ending September 80, 1880, Soviet
purchases in this country amounted
to s149, 223 900, six times the pre-war
volume. while sales of Soviet prod
ucts heer made up S31,017,000, only
about so per cent more than before
the war In other words, for every
dollars worth of Soviet products
sold here nearly five dollars worth of
American products is purchased for
export to the Soviet Union. In addi-
ton, while imports from the Soviet
Union consist principally of raw ma
terials, Soviet purchases here consist
largely of machinery and other man
ufactured products"
