ARE YOU THERE?


Nailed to cross, high on hill.
The Son of God hangs mute and still,
And millions for whose sake He died,
Are likewise being crucified-
Are you there? Are you there?
The sons OF Mamnon. cruel and cold,
Care not for God or man-but gold;
In greedy lust they rob and cheat,
And crush the world beneath their feet
Are you there? Are you there?
They sit like tyrants on their thrones,
They feast on meat but feed us bones;
They forge new economic chains,
And make us slave TO swell their gains
Are you there2 Are you there?
They strip us Of our bonds and stocks,
And from ten-thousand auction blocks
They offer up our homes and farms
And send us forth To beg for aims
Are you there? Are you there?
While Mammon hugs his money-bags
Twelve million jobless men in rags,
With hungry mouths and hearts that hate,
Are standing just outside the gate
Are you there? Are you there?
High on hill the cross still stands:
But Christ, with nail-pierced feet and hands,
Has come down from the blood-Stained tree,
To lead mankind to victory
Are you there? Are you there?

WHAT OTHER EDITORS
SAY
The S c otis b O r O
Verdict

The verdict of guilty in the
Scottsboro, Alabama case clearly
is based on race prejudice rather
than on the rules of law and JUS
tice. Whether the prejudice exist
ed strongly in the minds of the
jurors or was 80 manifest in the
community where the trial was
held that it inundated the jurors,
or whether everybody except the
trial judge, who kept his head.
suuccumbcd to the hysteric, are
points which are less clear. But
there is no doubt that the free
operation of impartial justice was
effectually stopped.
1t does not follow from this
that the accused MAI and his as
sociates who are waiting their
trials are altogether guiltless. But
very material doubt about their
criminal culpability was created
when one Of the two principal wit
ncsses for the prosecution walked
voluntarily into court, declared
that she had perjured herself
when on the stand i'm a fomer
trial. and confessed. or at least
asserted that she never had been
criminally abused by the prisoner
at the bar, and that so far as her
knowledge goes, neither had her
woman companion.
Taking into account the gener-
al reputation of the two women
inuolvod in fba ooco and tho ri
stances under which it was assert
ed they had been attacked, there
is not very much left of a rape
case after that, unless prejudice
hopelessly blinds judgment.
Indeed. looking back over the
general history of the Scottsboro
case. it seems unlikely that it ever
would have been heard of if the
accused persons had been white

him to succeed Johnny Corriden early in 1881.
From that point on, however, Emmets playing prowess
suffered. He took himself out Of the game too often, espe-
cialy in 1882, and his physical condition lost its snap. An
off season of hard training may see him back in 1884, playing
somebody's first base in bang-up style. Emmett is entitled
to a measure of credit, however. The Saints finished sew
enth in 1892, and they were fourth when he left them.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 1.-The
league-leading Red Birds downed
the Indians in the series opener
here Thursday, 5 to 1, on five hits.
Some of the six bases on balls issued
by Stewart Bolen figured in the
scoring for the home nine. Bill Lee
also held the Tribesmen to five hits
and had a shutout until the last
inning.
The teams were to meet in the
series second tilt this afternoon and
on Saturday the Indians will end
their Columbus visit in a night
game and then make a quick get
away for Louisville.
The Birds put over two markers
in the opening stanza Thursday, one
in the seventh and two in the
eighth. They scored in the seventh
without the aid of a hit. Two
passes were issued by Bolen, the
runners moved up on an out and
then worked the double steal for a
run.
The Hoosiers got only three hits
off Lee in eight rounds. In the ninth
Cooney and Bedore singled and Rid
die drew a walk, filling the sacks.

associates for his memory lapses as
for his smuggling.
Thursday morning the Babe al
lowed himself to be quoted about
how he planned to retire from &C
tive play next season. So he was
the most surprised man in New
York when he read about his ap-
preaching retirement.
After considerable ~cogitation, the
Babe Thursday night issued a for
NAL statement to the press, saying
he hadn't made up his mind yet
about retiring. That he would play
next season if he could. 1t all de-
pended on his physical condition.
But say" said the Babe infor-
mally. what's the matter with you
fellows? What's the idea of retir-
ing a fellow all of a sudden? Why,
you'll be writin' me right into my
grave if 1 don't watch out"
While none of the baseball writ
ers are trying to retire George Her
man before his time. most OF them
are confident the Babe will not be a
regular with the Yanks next year.

TN the Boston half of the first in
i ming Parmelee threw a ball to the
plate-fast and true. Too fast and
too true-through the middle and
waist high. One of the top homer
hitters of the league, Wally Berger,
met it Squarely and its very speed
sent it hurting back from the impact
of the bat for a home run that gave
the Braves the opening point. Randy
Moore was up. The ball came in
again-fast, but not true. Moore
couldn't quite avoid it. 1t hit his
hand. He took first base and later
scored with the second Brave run.
In the fifth inning, Johnny Vergez
hit a home run and the score was
81 for the Braves, but in the eighth
Vergez made an error in the pinch.
He muffed a double play ball and
then threw wide. Instead of two men
being out, both men were safe. Then
Parmelee threw a bunt away and
hits by Whitney, Lee and that grand
little Maranville counted five runs.
That was the ball game-and the

fact that Vergez made a hit and
scored a run in a futile Giant rally
at the finish did not cancel the
obvious fact that VergeZ. who might
have been the hero, had been the

that curious, trifling thing called an

Later they read that Randy
Moore's finger had been broken and
that the wild pitch which had
helped to win the ball game had
cost the Braves m of their few
stars of the first magnitude.
Later the crowd discovered that
Vergez had almost won and finally
lost the ball game while suffering
from an appendix so in1amed that
three hours after the game ended it
was cut from his body and he, also,
was lost for the season.

into a forgotten corner. And the
numbers of Travis Jackson and Joe
Mowry came up and so. today. the
Giants are gambling on Jackson
while the Braves r playing
Mowry. And while they play the
five remaining games Of this i'm
portant series, the eyes of the base
ball public will be upon them, and
the fortunes of the other contend
ing clubs in the race-the Cubs,
Pirates and Cardinals-also will be
involved.
These two puppets of the lively
little ball may decide the National
League race. Mowry is a young
fellow, sound of limb. His story is
in the future. The story today is
of Travis Jackson. 1t must be told
quickly, because his number may
go down as dramatically as it came
up.
This is how it happened, how the
little lively ball worked it out before
the 10000 who came out Thursday
for the opening game of the series.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-09-01

Vergez has been more important
in the clubs success than Ryan be-
cause he's batting around 1853 and
playing brilliantly on the hot cor
ner. It's doubtful if Byrne James
or the veteran Travis Jackson will
be able to replace Vergez success
fully.
The Braves suffered the loss of
outfieIder Randy Moore, their Sec
ond best batsman, who sustained a
broken hand when hit by a pitched
ball. He will be out for the rest Of
the season. Although Moore was
batting 1903, his absence is not Of
such vital Importance to'the Braves
as is Vergez' to the Giants.
Vergez made a home run in
Thursdays game, which the Giants
lost 7 to 3, and Wally Berger of
the Braves drove out his twenty
fifth homer of the season to remain
tied with Chuck Klein of the Phil
lies for National League home run
honors.
Thirty-f1ve thousand fans saw the
Braves get off to a tWo-run lead
in the first inning and clinch the
contest with a flve-run squirt in
the eighth. Ben Cantwell allowed
the Giants eleven hits but kept
them scattered while the Braves
found Parmelee and Bell for eight.

grip of one of our most popular
forms of mass lunacy. AS many as
10000 of the citizens of this cul-

No creative brain is as nimble as
the ball which rolls around the

to guide its movements, but because
of the human element, the ball is

cavities.
