MAINTAINS CLASS
DESPITE REVERSES
Sport, Hit by Depression,
Continues to Give Fans
Fine Entertainment.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

n IEW ORLEANS, March 29.-
M Judge KeneSaw Mountain
1 Y Lands, overload and high
commissioner of base ball,
has gone to Biloxi, where he ex-
poets to wind up his Spring train
ing, returning to his home, in
Chicago, at the end of this week.
Most Of us have made sort of un-
written agreement not to talk depreS-
sion,' said the judge, just before he left,
but all Of us know that 100000 900
people in this country are just at pres
ent in a devil of fix.
AS has been said, when everything
and everybody is prosperous they lower
taxes and when everybody is broke and
has taken to the cyclone cellar they
pile them on, which makes it a pc
culiar country.
But base ball hasn't increased its
tax on the fans and we hope that a
goodly number of them will find the
money to pay their way in at the gates.
Base Ball Suffers, Too.
Conditions make things tough on
the club owners. When everything else
is hit, base ball cannot expect to be
exempt. The present state of things
has affected the movies and other
amusementS, and it would be foolish to
say that base ball, too, will not be af-
fected.
1T naturally will be hardest on Sec
ond-division clubs First-division clubs,
where every game means something to
each contender, will do comparatively
better.
Competition always helps and base
ball has reached the stage where COM
petition extends beyond the ball fields.
There must be all-year-round competi-
tion among owners for players who will
strengthen their clubs.
1t would be ideal if some way could
be discovered to strengthen the weaker
clubs so that there would be an eight
team race in each league, but there
seems to be no practical manner in
which that can be accomplished.
Uncertainty Makes Game.
I'm that regard, we just have to let
matters take their course The richer
clubs are able to pay more for players,
but high price doesn't always mean a
big league star Many of the greatest
stars cost their clubs very little.
THE richer clubs can afford to gam
BILE more, but one thing which keeps up
the general interest in base ball is that
the suspense is preserved-that it is all
a gamble. You never can tell when one
Of the less wealthy clubs may pick up
the little acorn that will grow into the
tallest oak.
'The very thing which makes base
ball look most promising this season il
that the weaker clubs appear to have
added strength all along the line. Any
one of them may bob up with an unex-
pectedly strong team, which will upset
all calculations.
Il look for a good race in both
leagues. There is no one team in either
circuit which stands out as a sure win
ner. There should be plenty of excite
ment for fans, owners and managers
before the races end
And now" said Judge Lands, 'have
I told you about my golf?"-but there
are some things too narrowing to talk
about

Japanese backing could make free with the main line
of the c. E. R. from Hardin westward.
In fact this is precisely what General Hsi Hsia did
Following Japans seizure of Hellngkiang under the
pretense of repairing bridge" at Tsitsihar the Jap
imperalist papers OSAKA "Mainchi" Jan. 100
announced from Changchun, Manchuia, that Cen
Hsi Hsia of Kirn province was starting drive
against old military cliques" Tin favor of new"
oneSD, and that latter operations are concluded"
General Hsi will cooperate with General Chang
Ching-hui of Hardin"
Now it appears that this was aimed at the forces
of the Chinese general Ting Chao who was supposed
Cand we accent that word supposedly to command
the troops furnished by China to guard the lines of
the Chinese Eastern Railway jointly owned and ope
ated, remember by China and the Soviet Union Many
Of these railway guards hired by the Chinese and
under command of Ting Chao are, it must be noted
White Guard Russians mortal enemies of the Soviet
Union.
The details of exactly what happened are yet con-
fused by press dispatches which are inadequate or
lying and distorted. But it appears from what has
resulted that the Japanese had intrigued with Ting
Chao much as they had earlier done with Nah Chan
shan at Tsitshar, to create enough disorder" in
Hardin to give the Japanese an excuse to move in to
protect Japanese nationals"
In any events press dispatches began to relate that
Ting Chaos railway guard troops were running anos
at Hardin, shooting and lootng also defying General
Hsi Hsia, whose soul panied by all this dis
order" OF course, Hsi Hsia had to send troops to
Hardin to punish Ting Chao. And of course the
Japanese army in South Manchuria had to go along
to protect nationals" And by marvellous foresight
the Japanese had built broad guage railway equip
ment useless their So. Manchurian lines to
transport their troops northward Changchun to
Hardin the Chinese Eastern broad guage tracks
Although the Soviet Government gave its consent
for the Japanese to the c. to transport troops
to Hardin General Ting Chao tore up the tracks and
Waged pitched battle with the troops of Hsi Hsia
and the Japanese which of course the japanese used
as an excuse to increase its invading army and seize
Hardin with overwhelming forces early in February.
while the attention of the whole world was being
distracted to Shanghai-thus completing the jap
anese occupation of all Manchura and the seizure of
the Chinese Eastern Railway, not only worth hundreds
of millions of dollars but the strategic transport line
tor carrying troops to attack Soviet Siberia along
thousand miles of frontier!
And following all these bloody battles between Ting
Chao and Hsi Hsia, To- and behold if both these
scolndrels not found to be fast friends coopera
ing with the Japanese to set up the independent
republic OF Ankuo, the land of peace! Such are the
scoundrels being used by world imperialism to make
war on the Soviet Union in the Far East!
