NEW ROCHELLE, N. "a siege
of terror is being waged against the
5000 unemployed workers in New
Rochelle, one of the richest cities in
New York State. All efforts to hold
meetings, both outdoor and indoor,
are broken up and last Thursday a
worker who has been active organiz-
ing the workers in support of IN
employment Insurance equal to full
wages was arrested on frame-up
charge of having concealed weapons
in his possession. Permission for a
Feb. 4th demonstration has been re-
fused. A protest meeting is being
called against the refusal of the
authorities to allow workers the
right to the streets.

ers who are hungry and jobless at
the Feb. demonstrations.

Johnson admits that Schacht
is a good player now. But he
adds that plenty of luck has fol
lowed the comedian coach.
But to listen to Schacht tell it
is a scream. After his triumph

he was-finishing it up with
Johnson's acquired and attested
signature that he (Schacht) was
the new champion of the world.

Bill TerryAims
at Home-Run
Mark Today

All eyes will be on Philadelphia
today where Bill Terry of the
Giants. who hit his sixth home
run in four days, will attempt to
tie or better world mark
The mark at which the big
first baseman will be shooting is
seven homers in five consecutive
games. This was done by George
Herman Ruth in 1921, and later
by Sunny Jim Bottomley of the
st. Louis Cardinals.
Terry. who is leading the cir
cult clouters of both leagues in
his speciality. set the pace as the
Giants slaughtered the Pnils. Is
to 8, and tied the QuakerS for
fifth place. Seven runs in the
first inning got the New Workers
off to a flying start.
Shires Injuries Knee
The Boston Braves stayed in
first place by humbling the great
Dazzy Vance and handing the
Brooklyn Dodgers their third
straight defeat. 4 to l. Bob Brown.
2O-year-old rookie from Bingham
ton, held Brooklyn to five hits.
The victory may be a costly
one for the Braves, however, Tor
Art (Whataman) Shires, their
first baseman, suffered a badly
injured knee in a collision and
wound up in a hospital
The Cubs got off to big lead
against Cincinnati, but just
lasted to cop a 5-4 verdict and
retain second place.
Pirates Give Game Away
st. Louis was lucky to beat
Pittsburgh, SIS. Three Pirate
errors in the tenth gave the
champion Cards two runs with
out making a hit.
BY clubbing four Cleveland
pitchers for % hits and winning
by a 16-3 landslide, the De-
troit Tigers showed why they
are leading the American League
parade. Johnson, Walker and
Wyatt, the Detroit pitchers, made
four hits apiece.
Spinach" Melillo's homer with
one on helped the Browns down
the White Sox, Al. Dick Coff-
man hurled shutout ball against
the Sox for seven innings, but
had to be rescued by Sam Gray
in the ninth.

thousands of dollars worth of

If the cheaper bleacher price
suggestion has any merit, we
are sure it will not fall upon
deaf ears and in the mean
time we submit this discussion,
not with any feeling baseball

Out on the Field

We have ever felt that the
sports pages interest lies in
what happens on the field of
competition rather than what
happens at the turnstiles. Mean
while, we think the unselfish
father who will not afford him
self the privilege of even a
bleacher seat when he knows
his boys at home are just as
anxious to see a game as he is,
deserves some consideration and
certainly, if there ever was a
time to give him ear, this is it.
However, the fan to whom we
make reference was not speak
ing for his cause alone-he be-
lieyes the ball club would make
a great deal of extra money
by reducing bleacher prices to
IS cents and therefore on the
numerous occasions he has men
toned it to us, he felt it was
a suggestion on which the club
could cash in.
Even at quarter admiS-
sion for the bleachers," he
argues, many a dollar would
be picked up that otherwise
never finds it's way to the
park just because there are so
many parents in moderate cir
cumstanceS like myself, who
wouldn't think of going to a
game without the kids but
can't even begin to think about
taking the entire brood because
of the total outlay.

Jack Sharkey, the trout fisher
man, just in from a trip out
under the open skies, talked his
little piece over the long distance
telephone from the office of
Johnny Buckley, his manager, in
Boston.

Jack had promised to come to
Gotham town to talk over camp
sites, training partners, moving
picture rights and such, but
Buckley couldn't locate his handy
man. In fact, Buckley had not
been in direct communication
with him at all until John walked
in and stood his fishing tackle
in the corner.
Sharkey talked enthusiastically
OF his chances. He continued:
my fishing trip was only
one of the preliminary work
outs through which 1 have
passed. 1 have been working
lightly, right along, though /,

by naming Kingston, N. Y, as his
training ground.

ton Southampton, Long Island,

Will Weigh About 200
Sharkey said that he would
weigh around the 200 mark for
the bout, a pound or two above
or below. Weight is one of the
things about which he will not
worry.
If time has added two or three
to his best fighting
weight he will take it as matter
of course. He contends that it
will have no effect on his speed
one way or another.

By GARRETT WATERS

Reviewing the work of tn
Griffmen since the start of tn
campaign, one can liken thei
play along that of the Philade
phia AS of other seasons-in TIL,
respect:
With the exception of Thur,
days 1-to-0 loss at the hands c.
the Boston Red Sox. Manage
Johnson's team has possessed tn
happy faculty of going to work
for triumphS this year when g
first glance failure doomed.
Take for instance the frs
three contests against the Re
SoX during the opening week c
the campaign. The GriffS c.
tainly found it necessary 10 =
to work" for these triumphs,
had they not put forward specia
efforts a lower standing in tn
race at this time would be theirs
Other Instances Too
The contests won against tn
AS last Monday and Tuesda,
bring out other instances wher,
Manager Johnson's men went t.
work, so to speak, to win. Hat
not they played in this business
like manner the AS would be GU
in front-or nearer the top thai
they are today-muCh to the dis
pleasure of all of the other team.
IN the race.
So it narrows down that eve.
though the GriffS, on the whole
have not reached the peak e.
pected of them in the matter o
stick work, which has been
sore point recently, the game
that they have won have been
put on the right side of tho
ledger because of their earnes
work toward putting them there
Thursdays 1-to-0 loss at tn
hands of the Red SoX. to brin,
out an important point in thl
discussion. was not as bad a
the details pictured it. All be
cause the Griffs tried hard tt
win that game just as they havc
tried to win all close engagement;
they have been in this season.
Four times the Griffs had
Pitcher Jack Russell in trouble
during this contest and -four
times they we're kept from scor
ing because Russell had that
something in reserve which
stemmed the tide.
Team Is Plugging
It's true the GriffS did not
have the necessary batting punch
to win Thursdays game. But
the fact remains they were in
there plugging even though a loss
was finally their fate after the
last out had been chalked up in
the ninth.
The Philadelphia AS have
won pennantS in the last three
years because they've put over
many a triumph by the going to
work" route. So far this season
the Griffs have played quite Ike
this-with the exception, of
course. of that terrible 11-to-3 lick-
ing handed them by the AS last
Sunday-and on the whole it's
been an encouraging sign Of
what Manager Johnson's men
might do as the campaign pro-
crosses. In summary, may they
continue the great work begun, as
to win is to smile, which smiles
may ultimately cop the champion
ship so longed for this season.
