FIVE CLUBS RATED
HIGH IN old LOOP
Cards, Cubs, Robins, Giants
and Pirates Favored for
Flag in That Order.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, yR.
Associated Press Sports writer.


N JEW YORK, April 13.-An-
M other close race in the Ma
/ Y tional League with at least
four or five clubs in the
running-that is the dope the
day before the 1881 season opens.
Optimism is the rule in the elder
major league and few clubs are
willing to admit they won't be
close to the top in September.
The st. Louis Cardinals are generally
favored to repeat their triumph, but
only after the hardest kind of struggle
from the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn
Robins, New York Giants and Pitts
burgh Pirates. The consensus of ex-
perts has picked the i've leaders to
finish in that order, with Boston, Phila-
delphia and Cincinnati bringing up in
the rear.
While all the clubs have added new
playing talent in preparation for an
other tight race, the Cardinals, for the
most part, are standing pat on their
1880 lineup. Chick Hafey, however.
remains q holdout and Ernie Orsatti
has been given his place In left field.
The veteran st. Louis mound STAFF has
been augmented by two promising re-
cruits, Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer.
Cubs Are Confident.
With Rogers Hornsby, now manager,
back in condition, the Chicago Cubs
are trimming over with confidence.
Hornsby has made no changes In last
years regular lineup, but has acquired
lot of good reserves, both recruits and
experienced players.
Brooklyn's Robins plugged few holes
by trading some of their spare man
power to the Phillies for Fresco Thomp-
son, steady second baseman, and
Frank O'Doul, hard-hitting outf1elder,
and also are highly optimistic
The New York Giants are counting
on young Johnny VergeZ to take care
of third base while Freddy Lindstrom
plays right field. Like most OF his
rival managers, John McGraw could
use another good pitcher or two, but
Harold Schumacher and John Berry
may fill the bill
The Pittsburgh Pirates. handicapped
by injuries last season, again are rated
Ia
With Pie Traynor and Lloyd Waner
back in shape the Pirates should be
much stronger. Tommy Thsvenow, ex-
Phillie. at shortstop may help.
Up to Minor Leaguers.
Boston's chances seem to depend
upon how their newly acquired minor
league sluggers fare. Manager Bin Nc
Kechnie has four newcomers In his
regular lineup, Wesley Schulmerich
and Red Worthington, Outlelders; Earl
Shelly at first base and Charley Wilson
at third.
The Phillies are counting on improved
pitching to put them into the race.
They traded several good men for pitch
ers and viii start with Buzz Arlett and
Hal Lee in the outfield, Dick BarteiI at
short and Leslie Mallon at second.
Their new moundsmen include Clise
Dudley and Jim Elliott from BROOKLYN
and Stewart Bolen from Baltimore.
Dan Howley's Cincinnati Reds sim
are in the process of rebuilding and
have few hopes of climbing high in the
standing. Edd Roush, former Giant
holdout. and Nick Cullop may provide
some badly needed punch at the plate.

WIDESPREAD WAGE SLASHES
REVEALED BY SURVEY

Forty-two per cent Of manufac-
turers have put wage cuts into ef-
feet in their plants during the pres
ent crisis, according to a recent sur
yey of Charles E. Bedaux and Co.
of N. Y, Inc.
The average wage cut was ten per
cent but actual wage cuts ran from
per cent to % per cent. This does
not, however, reveal the actual cuts
that the working class has been get
ting in its living standards. These
wage cuts in the survey do not take
any account Of the ten billion un-
employed, nor Of the millions who
are working on part time, two or
three days week. The figures in
the survey deal only with the wage
cuts per hour that the workers have
received for the time that they hap
pen to be working.
Federal Reserve Shows Slashes

showed that in the year ended this

over twenty-four per cent in the

given to the needy families and that
nobody would leave the room unless
this relief was forthcoming. While
Howell was presenting the demands
he was continuously interrupted by
the Welfare officials who became
sore at the charges brought forward
by the workers committee.
The militancy of the workers final

Association to grant relief. One fam

clothes while the other two fam
lilies were also informed to appear
for their portion of food. All the

BALTIMORE, Md, June 26.--Or-
ganized under the leadership of the
Baltimore Unemployed Council, 60
men, women and children invaded
the office of the Family Welfare
Association and forced this bosses
institution to grant relief to three
families who were in dire need.
Roy Howell, representing the
Smithson st. Branch of the Unem-
ployed Council, presented the indi-
viduaI cases of the three needy fam
lilies.
Clarence eNaI Is in immediate

two children and himself are in

Philip Rich. 1O44 Stockton St.,
has a family of four children and
wife. They need food Immediately.
Their condition is leaving the road
open for sickness and starvation. The
father has been out of work for some
time and is unable to find any en-
ployment.
Elizabeth Haynan is taking care
of a child that was forced upon her
by the Welfare Board on the con-
dition that the Welfare board would
furnish the child with the necessities
of life. The Welfare Board has not
given one thing as yet. Mrs. Eliz-

Ten minutes later 1 reappeared,
disguised. The meeting was still on.
Eight cops were now protecting the
socialist meeting. At the end of the
meeting, when a worker asked the
speaker why in Germany the So
cialists killed workers, the worker
was assailed; they called him for
eigner and asked whether he was
a citizen of this country.
Workers must know their enemies
and fight them. The socialists are
the most vicious enemies of the
working class.
