Papers of Communists and Fascists Suspended Serious Street Fighting Between Two Factions
BY HAROLD A. PETERS. United Press Stan COrreSDOndentl

 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Berlin, Dec 10-CT. P.) Gov ernment efforts to keep the peace' were intensified to-day after Con- munists and Fascists whose news papers were suspended yesterday, clashed in the most serious street fighting in Berlin for weeks.
 one Communist was killed. Three Communists and three Fascists were in serious condition. A score of rioters of both factions were ar- rested.
 Berlin police suspended publica- tion of the newspapers until De- cember F. Political mass meetings are banned under the emergency decree and it was rumored that the Reichstag might be dissolved.
 Fights between Communists and Fascists occurred in the northern section of Berlin, where Commun- fists fired on Fascists, and in the western suburb of Charlottenberg where 30 Fascists and 20 Commun- ists engaged in a sharp battle. In the latter fight a Communist was killed.
 Police reserves rushed to the scenes of fighting, established block ades in the streets mad cleared the districts of all gatherings.
 The government realized that the new emergency decree slashing wages, rents and ordering other re- strictions would arouse the extrem- ists. Political meetings therefore were banned and police were given wide powers to seize weapons which might be used in figthing. A socialist offensive against the decree was forecast in an article by Sigfried Aufhaeuser, socialist leader, in sharp contrast with the initial concilatory socialist com ment.
 "The government has decided against the workers, the Social. ist leader said. However, labor will support only the governmental I policy of safeguarding the vital in- terests of laborers and employees" Widespread criticism and disap. pointment regarding the compre- hensiveness of the emergency de. cree aroused speculation as to whe. ther Chancellor Heinrich Bruening might be forced to defend his pol | icies in a session of the Reichstae before Christmas. The chancellor does not want an extra session Some quarters believed he would dissolve parliament rather thar meet the demand of the opposition for an immediate session.

Bobby Jones, who knows all of the golf
ing answers, takes an informal slap at the
legion of big-hearted golfers who insist
upon conceding puts, in the first of his
pictures of the Vitaphone Corporation
made under the title of ''How I Play Golf, y
the first of which is now showing at Wan
ers Earle Theater.
Bobby sides with the United States Golf
Association in declaring that puts must
not be conceded-that a putt is never
counted until the ball has reached the bot
tom of the cup-and starts his series, war
rented to result in nationwide movement
of better golf and better golfers, with in
tensive putting instruction.
Ease and comfort are absolutely neces-
sary to insure the correct execution of all
golf shots, Bobby claims, particularly with

The toughest play third
baseman has to make is a ball
hit right down the third base
line. Not only is the ball a
tough one to field, but you've
got to remember that if it gets
past it's a twO-baSe hit sure
as the world.
Playing a ball hit down the
third base line depends on the
speed of the hit. If it's a slow
roller, of course, the third base
man must rush in on the grass,
play the ball with one hand
This bare hand) and throw it
with the same motion with
which he picks it UP. Joe
Dugan, the old Yankee third
baSeman, was the best man on
that particular play ever saw.
A hard hit ball down the line
is different. Personally / al
ways make that play from di-
rectIy behind the bag as shown
in the picture. Standing di-
rectly behind the bag, and
reaching over the bag to take
the ball in front has this ad-
vantage. BY reaching over you
get the ball on the hop before
it hits the bag. But if you miss
and it does come through and
hit the sack, your body is still
in the way to knock the ball
down so it doesn't get away
for a long hit. Of course get
ting hit in the stomach or on
the shins by hard hit roller
isn't pleasant, but it's better
than watching the ball go for a
twO-bagger at that.
The perfect throw to third
for tagging a runner is throw
that comes ankle high, and on
the inside corner as shown in
the picture. Such throw can

reference to the putter. Bobby has done
considerable experimenting on the greens
and has adapted reverse, overlapping grip
when using his putter.
In this grip the forefinger of his left
hand rests upon the small finger of his right
hand and when his hands are locked both
thumbs point straight down the shaft.
Bobby has found that this particular grip
gives more, wrist freedom and flexibility,
and instead of the right hand lifting the
club head away from the ball on the back
swing. the left hand swings the club head
back in a graceful and effortless arc that
does not limit the scope of the back-swing.
This is especially true in the folIow-through,
and precludes the possibility of pulled or
jabbed puts, two of the most frequent
errors on the green.

baseman is in position to hold
the ball and simply let the run
ner come into it. If you will
look It the picture you will see
what mean. Note that the
baseman isn't blocking the bag
from the runner, yet he is in a
position whereby it would be
impossible for the runner to
reach the bag without being
tagged out.
One of the important things
for a third baSeman is the
throw. He has a long throw to
start, and usually it's a hurried
throw, too. The result is he

and hard, and quickly. There's
only one way to learn the

good third baseman you've got
to spend a lot of time out
there practicing throws from
all positions and all angles.

27.-Cornelius Vanderbilt Whit

sudden attack of azoturia on
Saturday was forced to trail his
field in the Chesapeake, was gal
loped a slow two miles this morn

Trainer Freddie Hopkins spent
the Sabbath in or near Equi-
poise's stall. During the day DR..
Henry ]. Mccarthy, of Baltimore,
came here and inspected the
three-year-old chestnut son OF
Pennant and Swinging.
DR.. Mccarthy informed Trainer
Hopkins that Equipoise was suf-
fering no temperature and that
the colt had only mild case of
aZoturia, which is kidney poison
ing and which generally leaves
a thoroughbred without the
proper use of his rear legs.
EquipOise was kept under the
shed yesterday, due to the high
winds blowing in from the
SuSquehanna River. Although
walking very slowly he showed
only the slightest signs of the

Unfortunate Circumstance
Trainer Hopkins, in discussing

"It is the most unfortunate
thing that could have happened
to Owner Whitney, myself or
the colt. We were proud to
have such a popular thorough

desired to win the Chesapeake,

the barber shop of her foster father,
William jackson, who died several
months ago. She is meeting with sue
cess in conducting the business at
1871 22nd Ave. 1.-The depression has
affected the barber business some
what" she says. "Men do not put as
much tonic on their scalps as they
used to, but they still like to chat and
discuss politics and religion"
Mrs. Malone believes that the man
who refuses to say anything while
he is getting his hair cut is rare
fellow. "And yet," she says, you
find all types of men who come to
the barber shop and each must be
catered to according to his own
whims; that is part of the BARRIERS
