The Burgess here claims to be
friend of the miners, but in reality
he is an agent of the Yoghiogheny
and Ohio Coal Company. In fact
the other day when the local mine
announced the resumption of work
under the same conditions that the
miners had before the strike, the
Burgess told the crowd of miners,
members of the. National Miners
Union, that if anybody wanted job
in the mine to come to him and he
would fix it. Brave friend of Labor

Daily Worker:
When 1 came home from work on
Thursday night, my wife was very
excited. She told me she had an
argument with neighbor. Instead
of taking this case to a capitalist
court, Fdecided to have a proletarian
trial, composed of the workers in the

The trial lasted about two hours. The
Jury was out five minutes. They
brought back the verdict guilty"
Also they fined the worker fifteen

suggested that I bring the money to

need it badly, to help them carry

FORDHAM DRUBS
 BOSTON COLLEGE

Boston, Oct 13.-(UP)-A pow erful, smoothly working Fordham team drubbed Boston college 20 to 0 at Fenway Park here yesterday.
 Throughout the first two periods the Rams ran roughshod over a less experienced Maroon and gold team, scoring a touchdown in each period and having two other touch downs nullified because of penal. ties.
 In these first two periods the whole Fordham backfield especial ly Captain Jim Murphy, gained al- most at will. reeling off first downs as fast as they were necessary.
 In the second half, however, Boston college braced and held the Rams scoreless until near the end of the last period. In this period another touchdown, after an S0- yard run, was nullifed when a holding penalty. was imposed on Fordham.
 Boston college penetrated enemy territory only twice. both times during the last half.
 Jim Murphy scored two of the touchdowns and added the points after two, and Zapustas the other.

NEW WHTTESOX
 PILOT YOUNGEST
 OF MAJOR CROP

Chicago, Oct IS. (UP)-Lewis Fonseca, new pilot of the Chicago White Sox, is the youngest man ager in the major leagues. He won't be 32 until next January.

 The new Sox' leader plans to keep Lu Blue on first and continue to play left field. Fonseca came to the White Sox as a first baseman but in his 10 years in the majors has played every position except pitcher and catcher.
 During his major league career Fonseca has played with the Reds, Phillies, Indians, and White Sox and under five managers, Moran, Hendricks, Fletcher, McCallister, Peckinpaugh, and Bush.

ROGER BERNARD DECSIVELY WHIPS
 BAT BATTALINO

Philadelphia, Penn, Oct 13.-Bat Battalino, worlds featherweight champion, displayed his wares to 4.000 Philadelphia fistic fans at the Arena last night in a ten round battle against Roger Bernard, former mid-western fighter who has just taken up residence in Phil adelphia, but Bats best was not enough and another decision went into the record books against the Hartford mittman.
 Battalino, who had dropped a contest to Bernard in Detroit bat tie last year, foundn that Bernard's fast pace at the satrt of the fracas earned him enough points to carry off the verdict, despite the brilliant finish of the champion.
 While Batta1ino's championship was not at stake, Bernard fought hard enough throughout the con- test, just as if the title was at stake. There was no let-up in the new Quaker City battler's aggressive ness and it. was only the long dis tance punching of the champion that enabled him to reduce Ber- nards margin at the finish of the encounter.
 Bernard not only fought fear less, wide-awake battle, but he overcame the jihx that has assail- ed fighters who have tried to dupli- cate a victory over Battalino.
 The decision went to Bernard on the "say-so" of two of the ring off, cials, Referee Herman Hindin. and Judge Eddie Carroll. Judge Jack Styles called the contest a draw, but had such a verdict been turned in all three ways, an injustice would have been done Bernard.
 Battalino evoked comment on all sides for his display of iron man. tendencies, and his strength as q long distance battler.

FORDHAM AWAITS CRUSADER ELEVEN
 SET FOR ATTACK

New York, Oct 13-(UP)-Ford- hams football team is faced by Holy Cross here on Saturday after going to Boston yesterday to beat Bost College 20 to O.
 Now the rams have only four days interval before tackling an eleven good enough to hold a Dartmouth team to 14-7 last Sat- urday.
 In defeating Boston College the Rams continued to show a power- .ful and versatile attack. They stored in every period but the third, and only a stubborn defense by Boston prevented a more de- cisive total.
 Zapustas accounted for the first touchdown on a line plunge. Cap tain Murphy made the other two, one after receiving pass, and added a placement goal to each.
 Boston college made only two firsts downs during the first half, and on only three occasions dur ing the game could it advance the ball beyond midfield.

KID KAPLAN DROPS
 VILLA IN NINTH

Holyoke, Mass, Oct 13.-Pancho Villas bubble for fame in the lightweight ranks burst in the Valley Arena here last night when he was knocked out by Louis Kid Kaplan of Hartford, Conn, in the ninth round of a scheduled 10- round main bout. The New Bed- ford lad, touted highly in the east ern end of the state, was on the floor for a count of nine from a left hook to the head before the former featherweight champion slipped over a left and another right to the head as the finishing punches.
 Kaplan had all the best of the scrap, his youthful opponent new CT having a chance after the early heats. The hard left hand blow that was sent to Villas groin just before the final blow marred an otherwise cleancut victory for the veteran Nutmeg campaigner. Twice previously Referee Jack Dekkers had ignored Villas claims for fouls. once in the third round and again in the eighth. The first time the tall, dark-skinned Villa believed he had been hit low he sunk to the canvas protesting but the official refused to heark- en to him.

 The referee stopped the bout be- cause of a cut over Clinville's right eye which had streamed blood from the fourth round when left hook opened the wound.

SHOW LITTLE INTEREST
 IN SOCCER GAMES
BY DIXON STEWART

(United Press Staff Correspondent)
 The generally accepted premise that American youth turns natur- ally to all forms of competitive sport finds scant encouragement from Clarence Appleby. former British soccer star, now attempt ing to mold two soccer teams from the students of a fashionable east ern preparatory school.
 Appleby Speaks
 App1eby, fresh from the Uni- versity of London, contrasts the decision going to England. Appar- ball complex, he indicates, appear ing at soccer practice with several sweaters and durable trousers. The English boy. sets out to play with the lightest possible equipment.
 "The American boy is afraid he may catch cold" Appleby said. That would never enter the Eng fish boys head. It's never too cold, or wet, to play in England, but here most of the games stop after winter sets in"
 This is no reflection on the stamina of our young, he continues. but:
 Played Different
 "The game never has become alive in America. You see games but they lack the action they have in Europe. You never see play CT standing idle in 8 game over there. American boys often say What's the fun in that? The game never has captured their imagina- tion.'
 But there is ray of hope for the "old game" in this country as a conditioner for football teams and Appleby points out its advantages in this connection with an unut- tered hope that soccer may move to it's rightful place among the sports of the western world.

Gloucester, Mass. Oct 13-(UP) The schooner Gertrude L. The baud, pride of the Gloucester fish, ing fleet, was enroute to Halifax, N. s.. to-day. bent on wrestling the north Atlantic sailing champion ship from the Nova Scotia schooner Bluenose.
 The series is scheduled to start off Halifax Saturday.
 When the Thebaud sailed from Gloucester yesterday she carried a crew of more than 30 fishermen under Captain John Matheson.
 Last year the Thebaud defeated the Bluenose in a series off Gloucester but the north Atlantic championship was not at stake.

With one and two losses, re- spectively, chalked up on their 1881 gridiron schedules, Crosby and Wilby face two major oppon- ents on the last afternoon of the current week who are heavy favor ties to defeat both local aggrega- tions. The blue and white, minus Coach Bill Schofield, make it's de- but against Warren Harding Tn the Park City while Jimmy Lees proteges show at the Rubber Town Recreation field against Pete Foley's Naugatuck team.
 Of the four teams mentioned in the proceeding paragraph, the garnet and gray shape up as the most formidable. The backfield, composed of Captain Tommy Goodwin, one of the fastest ball carriers in state scholastic circles, Bubbles" Balinsky. Dick Tuckey and Al Ratkywich, OvcrshadOw the other three rear work cOm- binatiOns but man for man, neither of this quartet loom as promising as Ikie Kern, the nucleus of the Crosby backfield.
 Warren Harding, conQuerors or Torrington, 13 to o, and victims of White Plains, N. Y, 38-12, is fa- yored over Crosby, for the charges of Coach Eddie Mead have been drilling for two months where as the blue and white were not so fortunate. Naugatuck should be afforded little opposition from Wilby.
 Torrington, showing one victory and one loss on its schedule to date, the former chalkcd up over Drury high of Massachusetts Sat- urtiay, stand U good chance of de- feating Eddie Reilly's red and black Central outfit this Saturday as the Park City club is not living up to expectations.
 Food for thought at the Nation al Collegiate Athletic Associations annual football meeting may be found in a proposed clause where by offensive teams would be per- mitted the option of taking c ball on the sidelines 15 yards out and proceed to second down. The idea comes from l.. c. Campbell, ath- letic director at Jefferson high in Portland, Oregon, who believs the option allows at least 12 more plays to the game, save time and unnecessary bodily contact. Recent tests at Portland proved quite sat- isfactory.
