SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
by HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

]
NEW YORK, July 15.-Well, I'm
rather ashamed of myself. but I
finally went to cricket game.
1t was in the Bronx, jhst where
| it belonged.
An English sort OF person, a
sports writer, said if had difficult
ty understanding things, he would
write out a few words which would
tell me what went ON.
I give you the words:
THE Australian Cricket XI op-
posed a New York West Indian xI
at Innisfail Park, New York, to-
day and, led by the devastating
bowling of the only left-handed
googly exponent in the world, Leslie
OBrien Fleetwood Smith, dismissed
the homeside for a total of l52
runs.
Folks, saw that, but don't ask
me to explain. l arrived about an
hour after the match started, while
the players were out to lunch. and
the West Indians, who went to bat
first, were leading 152 runs to
nothing. Figuring that with one
team 152 runs ahead the game was
good as over, was just ready to
leave, when my English friend
found me.
Don't CO." he said. "The Aus
tralians haven't come to bat, yet.
They'll make 152 runs in half an
hour"
Half an hour, hell! They made
152 runs in Is minutes. They made
runs SO fast. the boys who kept the
scoreboard started hanging them up
in tens-20, 80, 40, and SO on.
All these runs despite the fact
there are nine ways a batsman may
be retired He may be stumped,
caught, run out, boWled, L. B. w.
Qeg before wicket, obstruction, hit
wicket, handling ball in play, hit
ball twice.
Batters Get Breaks
The batsman, however, gets his
share of breaks. When he hits a
ball he doesn't have to run. If he
sees that one of the fielders is going
to get it, he just stands still and
it doesn't count. Not until he
smacks one over the fielders heads
or through their legs, does he run.
There were two fences surround
ing the scene of yesterdays match.
a low one and high one. A ball
fhot ctr1iclr Or oIaoraJ tha 1;+t1o
fence was good for four runs;
poke that cleared the big fence was
good for six runs.
I figure that Babe Ruth, on
good afternoon, would be good for
two or three thousand runs.
The fielders are known by very
fetching names, such as square
legs, mid-on, mid-off, slips, long
stop and gully. Cricketeers are very
poor on fielding, if yesterdays
match was any criterion.
They missed pop flys that an out
fielder in the three-eye league
would get in his hip pocket, and
muffed grounders that any bush
league short-stop would have hand
led blindfolded.
Oh yes, 1 forget to tell you. If
the batter swings and misses one
and the catcher let's the ball get
by him and roll to the boundary, it's
four runs. Four runs on a strike.
"Googly', which the Australian
bowler had plenty of is just another
word for stuff. And when a bats
man is "bowled for a duck" it
simply means he struck out without
getting a run. You can realize
what a serious offense this is when
I tell you that even when a guy
gets 20 or 80 runs in one time at
bat, he's only hitting about OIL.

inations in the name of love.
Church VS.. State
The State of California is a
plain example of this fact. In
this State, the Catholic church
permits annulment Of marriage
on more grounds than the
State laws recognize in grant
ing divorce. One of these
grounds is venereal disease.
The church holds that under
such a condition healthy fam
ily life cannot continue, and
dissolves any marriage where
such a condition exists at time
of wedlock. But the courts OF
California will not grant dl-
vorce for such a cause.
The question of birth control
after marriage remains, and
should always remain, a mat
ter for the individual con-
science and intelligence to de-
eide, But should ignorant and
innocent young people be. al
lowed to enter into marriage
without any preliminary pro-
lection by the State?
The State takes a stand
against marriage by fraud.
The State awards judgments IN
breach-of promise suits. Is not
the wrecking of clean bodies
and sound brains by unclean
bodies and unsound brains a
fraud? Is that not a breach
of every sacred and civic con-
tract? -
Think about these things.
Pray about them. Daily the

mounts in America. With each

eugenic laws in this country.
Eugenic laws are not birth con-
troll laws. They are marriage
control laws. They would re-
quire physical examinations of
both parties before issuing q
license and would prohibit mar
riage in the cases of mental
unfitneSs or communicable dis
eases.
AS to birth control, there
may be differing spiritual
opinions. But why should there
be differing opinions on the
decent control of marriage?
No priest or pastor would
knowingly consecrate a union
of degenerate spirits. Yet.
under the laws of most of our
States, a union of deranged
minds or diseased bodies is not
only permissible but is indis-
soluble. And any attempt to
enforce physical or mental ex-
animation before marriage. is
denounced as violating human
rights" and "desecrating the
sanctity of the home"
What, Indeed?
What greater violation of
human rights could there be
than to permit them to be
be ignorantly trapped in we'd
lock with an insane mind. or
clean flesh to be legally con-
tarninated by unclean?
What fouler desecration Of
the sanctity Of the home could
happen than to turn it into a
hell where doomed brains and
bodies agonize through life
long torture?
And what more fiendish
crime could be committed
against the future generations
than to permit them to be
born with such an awful heri-
tage?
Yet every day, in every State
in America, this tragedy is
happening. In a few States
the sterilization of the insane
is permitted. though rarely
practiced. In a few, annul-
ment of marriage on the
grounds of social disease, is
legal. But in the great ma
jority of our States, the mar
riage of the insane and the
diseased is legal andI indis-
soluble. And, invariably, the
defense is that of religion.
Such grounds of defense are
neither fair nor true. All re-
ligionS strive to keep marriage
pure. No religion, even that

MIR. Hoover Was for
That "Pork Barrel"

1t was most unfortunate,
and entirely unnecessary,
and petulant, for the Presi-
dent to describe the Garner
bill, setting forth an actual
program of public works in
detail as a business would
have it, as a "pork barrel"

turn out to be a lively pork

gan and Company2
Just now these millions
out of jobs, through no fault
of their own, are entitled to
access to a "pork barrel"
to live.
1t is time to give the un-
employed, and the mer-
chants, who are suffering
because of the loss of pur-
chasing power the kind of
"pork barrel" that will put

Of reservations" as a popular
summer hotel; and most of
them are as personal and sa-
cred to him as his toothbrush
and his razor.
It isn't that a man really
wants to hide anything from
the woman he loves. It is just
that he likes to feel that there
are a few secret corners in his
soul, his mind and his life
which have never been exposed
or explored few unseen
places where he can tuck away
his private thoughts and emo
tionS.
Oh, yes, I'M woman-and I
know what a temptation it is
to let a man know that you are
ION to him! But, no matter
what a man does, no matter
what you discover about him,
it is always fatal to love, for
you to let him know that you
are "wise" to him.

MIR. Hoover Has Shaken
Off His Inertia,

Meanwhile in America we
have a problem of our own,
involving the millions de-
MED their inalienable right
to work to live, that makes
that in Germany seem hope
lessly remote. Mr.. Hoover,
Republican candidate for
President, has sud d enly
shaken off his inertia which
has been so deadly to the.
country during the last
three years. He has shaken
it off to lead in an attack
on any plan for putting job
less men to work by a bond
issue for public works. It is
just as we'll that he make
his position perfectly clear
in this way since the people
must pass upon his ideas at
the polls.
He is unable to see the
justification for a public
works program of the mag
nitude proposed by the e
Democrats and some Pro-
gressive Republicans. Never
in three years has he been
able to see that government,
the custodian of organized
society, need concern itself
with the unemployed. His
position all along has been
that if men must starve
without the use of Federal
money to prevent starvation
it cannot be helped.
But our civilized society,
with some humane instincts,
and with the conservatism
of common sense, is going to
disregard him and act. It
must.

most effective line with which

And no man is so miserable

married to a curious woman,
who is forever digging up his
private thoughts, unearthing his
secret emotions and probing his
sacred, personal feelings. That's
why so many men join secret
societies. They give a man
something to KEEP TO HIM

OF course lovers and hus-

never lets a man have a private

"POrk Barrels" and
The People
Claude G.. BOUers

DRESIDENT HINDEN-
l. BURG, of Germany,
has assumed a new role, and
it is not one that promises
early peace in Europe. His
action in smashing the long
est a b lished parliamentary
tradition in demanding the
resignation of a government
having a mandate from the
people smacks of dictatorial
intent.
The fact that he even re-
fused to postpone such dras-
tic action until after the
Lausanne conference makes
his action all the more dis
turbing. Whether it means
he has gone over to the Fas-
cists is still open to debate.
Such is the effect, neverthe-
less.
The plan Of DR.. Bruening,
the chancellor, to increase
taxes to meet the needs of
the treasury, and to break
up the huge estates into
small farms for the benefit
of men denied the right to
live by existing economic
conditions in Germany, is
the direct cause of linden
burg's action.
1t is assumed by the cor
respondents in Berlin that
he has gone over to. the
great land owners and big
business, both of which
want a dictatorship, if neces-
sary of "iron and blood"
to protect them against the
rising wrath of the people.
However, we shall know the
meaning better in a few
days.
One thing Hindenburg has
done-he proba bly, has
smashed the Lausanne con-
ference; he may have in
vited a death struggle be-
tween the financially power
full and the masses of the
people. In the end the
masses will win. If sword
rattling, bluster, force and
terror are to determine the
destiny of mankind, ten mil
lion will be as effective as
one thousand.

Just common laborers, you

Garner Tells
The Tale

He was unfortunate in at
tacking Garner and his plan;
for Garner is a fighter-a
plain blunt man with the
abdominal qualifications of
a fighter. In Gamers first
reply he concentrated much
in a paragraph:
"The Democrats did not
expect to receive real CO.
operation from the President
in any matter benefiting
the masses and those who
might be termed the middle
class Of the American peo-
ple."
That, of course, is true.
Mr.. Hoover belongs to a
school of political thought
that thinks in terms of
dividends, of stocks and
bonds, and not in terms Of
men. Least of all does he
think in terms Of the little
man.
The Presidents s glowing
promises of the effect Of his
Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration now seem a mock
cry. Garner tells the tale:
Unemployment has in
creased steadily and it is
now obvious that the relief
of the masses promised by
A d mi instr a tion leaders
through this act has failed
to materialize."

Role of a Critic

One often wonders how on
earth even printers ink,
used for propaganda and in
the building up of myths,
ever persuaded the Ameri-
can people that Mr.. Hoover
is a constructive statesman.
When, at rare intervals, he
injects himself into the work
of graphing with human
misery and its problems it

role of a critic.
