club is having its zero hour.
Hit in Tough Luck
There has never been a team
which fought more to throw off
"Old Man Slump" as those Sena-
tors, when inning after inning
they started one of the rallies as
they had known during the sea-
son only to have the next two
men hit balls very hard but right
at an opponent.
The stick-to-it.iveness was
finally rewarded in the fifth and
final game when, after two were
out in the sixth, Manush and Gro
min singled and then Schultz hit
his clout into the bleacherS to tie
the score and re-kindle the Wash
ington fighting spirit.
It was then that Russell pitched
as never before and Sewell caught
the smartest of ball, with every
fielder digging in with a deter
mination that showed their cham
pionship caliber-only to have OFT
hit home run into the temporary
stands which Schultz, never CIV
ing up for an instant, tried so
desperately to catch, missing the
ball by inches.
One Slip Brings Defeat
It is an unusual thing in base
ball that an entire game should
be lost by the pitching of one
ball, but the strange happenings
of the series continued when out
Of many good pitches, the one slip
or accidental pitch was converted
into a tying or winning run.
The Giants left no doubt in the
minds of the Washington fans
that they were hustling, fight
ing ball club with q pitching staff
that rates at the top of baseball.
which, with the inspired leader
ship of Bill Terry, leaves the con-
ISOLATION that Washington lost to
a very worthy opponent.
I believe that in baseball much
credit should be given for con-
scientious effort and, in the
instance Of this world series, the
Washington players who tried, as
only a very few players On the
inside understand, should be given
all the more consideration and
appreciation than had they won

run, a homer by Goslin at the
Polo Grounds. He came back
with five runless innings before
he ran into difficulties, but you
can't overlook the fact that Cos
Inns homer was Washington'S S
only score against him in IA con-
Secutive innings.
Luque's Work Praised
Then there was that runless
performance by Luque in the final
game when a slip in any of the
five innings he worked would
have meant defeat. Looking back
over the scores you will notice
that washington faced New York
pitching in AZ innings, and in
only two Of them could they
score more than one run. Once
they scored three runs when
Schultz hit his homer with two
aboard. In another inning they
scored twice. Six different in.
nings showed a single run, and
the remaining 80 innings nothing
at all.
There, in brief, is the story of
New York pitching effectiveness
the answer for the Giants decisive
success in five games. They car
ried too much pitching strength
and the American League suf
fered its most decisive defeat
since 1922.
All the good pitching was not
on the New York side, however
Whitehill was superb in hi one
effort, Weaver was brilliant ever
in defeat and Russelrs relief
pitching was high class. But
taken as g. group the New York
staff clearly excelled.
Discounts Ball Issue
In closing, just a word about
the ball. Again I say it is the
pitcher, not the ball. Although
the Giants won in Washington
they hit the National League bal

games at the Polo Grounds, ane

games, so the American league

many predicted.

tors hit only .156, but am in.
clined to credit Hubbell and
Schumacher for this low figure
rather than blame it on the Ma
tional League ball. AS for the
three home runs in Washington
all landed in temporary seats
erected for the series.
Might Have Caught Drives
Moore would have caught
Schulte's homer, but for this tenn
porary stand, and Schultz un
doubtedly would have caught
Otis. But for Schulte's homer, the
Senators would have been shut Out
in the fifth game. Terry's homer
in the fourth would not have beer
caught during the regular season
but would have been good fo'
three bases. In other words, no
body hit an American League bal
hard enough in these three games
to have made a homer during the
regular season.
So it wasn't the ball. It wa
the pitching. And the Giants wor
{. because they had stronger pitch
ing and played better ball.

FIRST RACE

DETROIT, Oct. 9.-Three men
admitted today a Federal charge
that they possessed narcotics to
dope horses at the Detroit FAR
Grounds track.
Ralph H. Oyler, field super
visor for the Federal Narcotic
Division, declined to discuss
whether any horses at the local
track had been doped prior to
Saturdays races, when he caught
Horace Moore, negro stable hand
for the Audley Farm Stable, pre-
pairing to dope the filly, Knights
Gal.
Oyler said he later found a
supply of narcotics in the apart
ment of R. Wingfield, former
Jockey and new trainer for the
Audley Farm, while even more
was found in the possession Of
Tommy Murray, another former
Jockey.
All three men have admitted
part in the plot and will probably
be arraigned by a United States
commissioner tomorrow.

slider each game that they won.
Otis homer, which decided the
championship, was a most impor-
talt break as it appeared for a
moment as if the umpires were
going to hold Mel down to a two
base hit.
Besides this point, the ball
barely eluded Schulte's out
stretched arms and, as fate
would have it, fell into the bleach
ers when it could have fallen on
the field just as easily.
At that Schultz made great
bid for the catch. He was set for
a right-field hit, as it's very sell
dom, if ever, that OFT slams a
pitch towards the leftfield sector
of the diamond.
And when that ball scared into
left-center, well, it was horror per-
sonified. Only Schultz could come
near it as Heine Manush was too
far away, despite the left-center
field position he took as OFT
stepped to the plate.
DETECTS Ball
The history Of the thing tells
us that Schultz made a sensa.
tional spring, put arms out
stretched and deflected the ball
just at moment when it would
either have fallen into the stands
or into the playing field. 1t did
the former, as the breaks would
have it, and because of this, the
Giants became the 1888 baseball
champions Of the world.
I could talk all week Of the
other breaks that helped the
Giants, but I guess 1t would just
sound like I, for one, can't take
it, as the saying goes.
Right here I want to say a
word about the excellent pitching
of Jack Russell. The Lad certainly
showed 'em" in his three relief
efforts, just as figured he would
His best work, of course, was
in the first game Of the series at
New York, when Carl Hubbell
beat us, 4-to-2. In that contest
he stopped the Giants cold, al
lowing only four hits and keeping
the Terrymen fom denting the
plate from the third inning to the
last.
Becomes Thorough
Jack had to step into the pic
ture at another of those tense
moments that day and his cool
ness personified was one Of the
most interesting things to watch
in the series. Friday, when Hub
bell beat us again, he rushed tt

Providence Worker
Fights Deportation

BOSTON, Nov. Another militant
working class leader faces deporta-
ton for his activities on behalf of
the Providence, r. l., workers. Sam
Paul freed after serving six months
for contempt of court, was immedi-
ately re-arrested by immigration au-
liberties, but was released on $1,000
bail furnished by the International
Labor Defense. Paul is threatened
with deportation to Greece.
The fight to get Paul out OF Jail,
led by the L L. D.. in which thous-
ands OF workers in New England were
involved is the direct cause for this
partial victory against the deporsa-
ton officials, who attempted new IL
legal methods against Paul. An I'M
migration inspector admitted receiv-
ing rs protests in one week.
The order for his release on the
contempt of court charge came d.
rectly from the Department Of Labor
at Washington, and is also result Of
the campaign of mass protest against
the ruthless policies of Frances Per-
kins, Secretary of Labor against the
foreign born.
The Boston district of the I. L. D.
is planning other actions against the
deportation terror, and is urgently in
need of funds,

Leather Strikers
Halt Injunction
Militancy Forces Court
To Deny Writ to
the Bosses

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, Nov. T.
The militancy of the leather strikers
here compelled the courts to deny
an injunction to the tannery en-
ployers, who are desperate in their
failure to break the strike involving
1000 workers.
Picket lines continue strong, al
though tear gas and terror has been
freely used against the strikers. A
picketing demonstration of women
and children was held before the
home of the president of the Levore
Co., Rothschild, on Monday, when
the strikers learned that he had i'm
ported detectives to break the strike.
The National Labor Board yester-
day invited the strikers to send a
delegation to Washington to discuss
terms for settlement. The strikers
are determined to stand on their
demands for the right to organize
and for more pay.
The independent union organized
by the workers is negotiating indi-
vidual settlements, as result of
which 300 workers returned to work
last week.

Single men in King County are

saw Taneff repeatedly and then de-
clared he doesn't know Taneff.
The interpreter confirmed the fact
that Taneff does not understand
German. The witness maintained
he saw Taneff with the Communist
Kratzer, but Kratzer, on examination,
said he does not remember.
Kratzer confirmed the fact that
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party decisively opposed ter
ror.
Despite the defendants proved

Bulgaria, new witnesses assert they

Jung, one Of the Nazi witnesses,
stated he saw Popoff thirty or forty
times with the Communist leader,
Kaensofer. Buenger declared that
Kaemper was not a witness since he
disappeared the 30th of September.
The disappearance of Kaempfer, the
sole person able to confute the mass
Of false statements against Popoff,
is highly suspicious.
Mesdames Jung and Buettner
maintained they saw Popoff visiting
Kaempfer in Berlin in the summer
of 1882.
Teichert stated that the editor of
the 'Rote Fahne," official organ of
the Communist Party, resembling
Popoff, frequently visited Kaempfer.
The witness, Mueller, asserted he
saw Popoff in Berlin in 1882. The
witness, Nazi storm trooper Ahrendt,
asserted he saw Popoff visiting
Kaempfer repeatedly in May, June
and July.
Ahrendt said: "Popoff and another
Russian Jew" He was informed that
Popoff was neither Russian nor a
Jew. Ahrendt insisted that Popoff
looks unpleasantly jewish
Another storm trooper asserted he
saw Popoff about thirty times in
Berlin. The witness VogeI, who lives
opposite Kaempfer, saw man ere

The witness Mrs. Quappe saw a

Popoff seriously.

also served two sentences for fraud.

come all those weaknesses and mis-
takes that were pointed out in the
Agrarian Resolution OF the Extra
ordinary Conference.
There are stiII many political
weaknesses. For instance, we have
not yet made sufficiently clear dis
tincti0ns between the various cate
gories of the farmers, and upon
that basis setting our task in the
first place to win over agrarian
workers, secondly the poor and
small farmers. And while the Party
has led a number of big agricuI-
tural workers strikes, especially i'm
California, we have not yet given
sufficient attention and leadership
to this, the most important section
Of the population in the country
side.
While we have made considerable
inroads into the strongholds of the
social-fascist leaders Qowa, Wiscon-
sin, New York;, where until lately
farmers were entirely under the in
fiuence OF strike-breaking leaders of
the type Of Milo Reno, Sinclair
Woodhead, there is still right-wing
underestination of the rehabilitation
of these farm masses and conse-
quently tagging behind the farm
ers strike movements. Our 18th
Central Committee meeting strongly
emphasized the necessity of fighting
against the right danger, which
causes our tagging behind the mass
movements. This also holds true in
our agrarian work.
Demagogues Break Strikes
OF course, it is not to be supposed
that we could already control the
majority Of the toiling population of
the countryside. The more the crisis
deepens, the more active will be-
come the demagogic agents of the
bourgeoisie. They are doing their
best to hold under their leadership
the masses of farmers who are being
disillusioned about the Roosevelt New
Deal, in order to hold them back
from the real struggles and to pre-
vent them from becoming revolu-
tionized under the leadership of the
Communist Party.
This is being concretely demon
strated now, when at the collapse of
Roosevelt's Agricultural Adjustment
Act, Milo Reno and his Holiday
lieutenants are calling national
farm strike in order to demand that
