two or three times a season It lasted
a little longer than it should have,
but it appears ended. And at home
the boys should prove that the club
is not of the threeperntwo variety.
r EROY DUGAN, the Arkansas whizz-
IL bang. has cut himself a slice OF
something for tonight at Portner's
Arena. And 1t isn't cake.
It's trouble in the form OF Benny
Schwartz, young man out OF baitl-
more, who has met the best IN the
banty ranks with varied success.
Benny is a problem. He shows TO
beat a world champ one night and
the next cannot get untracked. But
he fights at all times.
On paper and form Dougan does
not rate with Benny. But fisticuds
can be as upsetting as horse racing.
Give Leroy a good night and Benny an
off one and the good thing boys are
likely to get fooled.
outside of some shin plasters,
Benny and Leroy are scrapping for
a chance to mingle with Midget
Wolgast next week. The Midge, now
slipping, can dance around either
one Of the boys to . win. He may
not hit hard enough to knock on
their derbies, but he will make
either rival think he Is twins when
he gets to rolling at top speed.
I've been watching the Midget for
nearly 10 years. He has lost some OF
that speed he once possessed. although
those who now are seeing him for the
first time will wonder If he could be
faster than he is He waS-and his
punches carried more sting than they
now do.
Wolgast's fights with Willie Davies
and Black Bill were ring classics.
WILL MAHoNEY, the comedian. fan

Washington sportsman, tells OF
how the English sports fans react to
their foot ball and racing thrills.

Mack's Indifferent Athletics.
Bob, who goes moody for little or no

the field by a pleading newspaper
photog, who wanted the tall boys mug
for the editor.
At times Bob will chase the picture
men to be photographed. But this was
cne Of the times when he wasn't.
Connie, seeing the tall one baking
and swapping at the picture taker,
quietly walked over to the pair and. It

the club had to cut its roster to % to
comply with American League rules,
so it was necessary to let out some one.
Ed Linke, 21-year-old pitcher brought
up from Davenport of the Mississippi
Valley League last Winter, was picked
for shipment.
Linke goes to Chattanooga subject
to recall on 14-hour notice and very
likely he soon will be back with the
Washington club. The chunky Chi
cago boy Is a most promising pitcher.
He has appeared to advantage In cham
pionship games and Manager Joe
Cronin believes Ed might be of much
help to the Nationals this season.
Linke was to leave today for his
new berth.
Bluege, who received his crippling
injury at the fag end of the Nationals
recent Western tour, probably will not
be available for duty in the Cleveland
series. Only rest can repair his torn
leg muscle, according to Trainer Mike
Martin and four or five days Of that
may be necessary to get Ossie's under

Boken's injured foot and leg very

This does not mean that Carolina
will win every event. Far from it, as
it is certain to get whipped in two or
three. But outside of two or three
events it should come pretty close to
scoring in every one. Carolina has
little or no chance to win the shotput,
as that should go to Virginia or Vir-

take the mile. as it has no runner the
equal Of Lauck of Virginia. Neither
does it have a sprinter who can take

the impoverished farmers of America expect the Conference
to give answer?
The deep and widespread impoverishment of farm
families brings the question of relief well to the FORE Not

forced labor county roads extracted What farmers
need is adequate cash relief without forced labor the

Prices for farm products today runous They have
been the last few years. Prices must be raised At the
time retail prices must be lowered for city workers,
which will automatically increase the amount they will be
able buy from These higher farm prices and lower
retail prices from only source-the gigantic
profits of the mddemen and food trusts.
The first eight months of the New Deal reveal clearly
its prevail st. character. With heartess brutality

through wholesale destruction of foodstus and cotton At
the time, the N. r. "A raises prices for the things
which both farmers and workers have to buy thereby cut

the New Deal must be carefully planned.
TO WAGE SUCCESSFUL struggle for these demands,
ironbound unity must be established between militant
farm organizations and the rank and file in the old line
organizations. Into this unity must be drawn the city
workers, the best allies of the toling farmers
Special emphasis must be put unity between Negro
and white farmers especially the white farmers in the
south Negro farmers suffer from double oppression and
robbery therefore special demands must be worked out
around their needs

NEBRASKA FARMER
CHEATED OUT OF.
HIS WHEAT BONUS
By Waldo Hankins

RAVENNA, Nebr.-The follow
ing story was told to me by a
neighboring farmer in Buffalo
county and it shows that the gov
eminent will go to any steps to
keep from paying the bonus pro-
missed to farmers under the Allot-
ment Plan.
After this farmer had reduced
his acreage of wheat as stipulated,
he received a letter stating that
he would not be given his con-
tract or bonus. The reason, they
said, was because he had pastured
his wheat field.
This form of cheating the farm
er can be applied to nearly all Of
the small farmers here because the
wheat fields are used by them as
fall pasture. In many cases, this
is all the forage ground for the
fall season that the farmer has,

each from Tennessee, Florida, and
South Carolina; three from Missis-
sippi; two from Arkansas, and one
each from North Carolina and
Maryland.
In nearly every case, the lynch
ers were known to police officials,
or were police officials, and in Is
their rames were made public. In
no case were any Of the iynchers
punished.
In the las few months, there has
been a growth of militant organi-
zation among southern farmers,
both Negro and white, and an In
crease in their struggles against
the robbery and oppression of the
large landowners. The wave of
recent lynchings is calculated tt
halt these struggles, break mill
tant farm organizations, and put
an end to the unity that is grow,
ing up between Negro and white
farmers.
The Farmers Second Nationa
Conference will rally the farmer
of the whole country to support
the southern farmers in thei
struggle against lynchings an,
other forms of oppression.
