stEssEIl I.ll-lll.,--IIW HE brOadcasting of
aE I'M the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt
l. on Saturday was a
- thrill all day long for
many people. Perhaps those who
were seated comfortably at home
enjoyed it more in many in
stances than those who actually
saw the wonderful spectacle.
But for all such occasions, when
one rises to new heights, there
must come an anti-climaX. You
all have probably read of some
of them, particularly those that
happened 10 DelawareanS who
were in Washington in person.
Those listening at home had
theirs when Governor and Mrs.
Buck, with their party, arriving
at the Inaugural Ball, marched
TO their places to the tune of
delaware, Our Delaware. II
was disappointing 10 have the
announcer call our state song
by another name. Some lOyah
son (mOre probably a daughter)
had the temerity to ask for a
correction and got it. 1t all
brings home to us the fact that
it is important to know our state
song. Astonishingly few are fa-
miliar with the words written
by our own George b. Hynson.
The tune is not known to all
Delawareans, in spite of its
rhythmic swing. 1t was too
much to expect nationally
known announcer to recognize a
tune that some of us do not
know. However that did not
lessen the disappointment when
he called it "Marquerade". But
ii brought one back to earth and
TO resolve to learn the state
song and teach it to others.

TAKING FORWARD STEP
Sports Are Endorsed as Mainspring of Fas-
 cist Culture

ROME, April 25. Cumulative sport, pointed toward scle develop ment of champions and champion ship teams, has been endorsed by the Italian government as one of the main-springs of Fascist cul- ture.
 The chamber of deputies thus of- ficially glorified athletic activity with thunderous approval of a broadside attack against "old and unsound academic precepts" re- gently delivered by Leandro Ar pinati sub-secretary of the inter for and president of the Italian Olympic committee. Premier Benito Mussolini, parent advocate of Ital- ian sports regeneration, led the ac- clamation.
 Does Not District
 "It never has been true" Arpinati asserted, that physical exertion or competitive sport distracted the youths mind from academic work The classic tradition that athletes conflict with serious and scientific study is erroneous.
 "On the contrary, sport serves a high educational, national and so- cial motive. Competition speeds up the mental processes, teaches self control and poise, and scatters tor pid youthful fantasy
 Arpinah emphasized the neces- sity of national and international championship events ito keep Fas- cist youth forever reaching beyond the limits of mediorcity."

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Wars among nations and worldwide eco- homie depressions may come and go, but the University of Pennsyl- valia carnival of relay races goes on serenely as ever.
 Next Friday and Saturday Frank lin Field here will be the scene |of the 39th annual baton- carrier meet, the original and, therefore the oldest athletic gathering of its kind in the world.
 The Olympic games never bring together such large army oi track contestants as does this clas- sic congress of athletes.
 They come from small elementary schools and from world-famed uni versailles. Last year more than 500 universities, colleges and schools sent teams, and nearly $500 indi- vidual athletes. representing near ly half the states in the union, took part
 The outlook this year, despite economic conditions, is declared to be as good as in recent years.
 Princeton First Winner
 So far as athletic history goes, the first relay race between educa- tioflal institutions was held in 1893, just forty years ago. It was between Pennsylvania and Prince ton.
 Pennsylvania invited Princeton to send down a team of four quar- ter-milers to run a similar Penn sylyania quartet in the university spring games.
 The race was a novelty and cre- ated a great deal of interest. The Tigers won, and their elation was so great that they accepted an-

would be leading the outstanding favcrite in the National League race. Without a shortstop and with out any certainty about at least two of the three big "if' men, 1t is difficult to overlook the Pittsburgh Pirates as the most probable win ner.
 Of course the outlook may change very shortly. There have been rumblings of an impending trade, especially since they (Brea- don and Rickey) must feel the drive of necessity, now that Cor don Slade has injured his throw ing arm.
 Chicago having won last year, should be ranked at least third for politeness sake, but there are oth- CT teams in the league good enough, if they get pitching, to drop the Cubs out of the first division

Princeton Winner of First
 Relay Race Forty Years 4 go

other invitation from Pennsylvania for a similar race the following year.
 This time Pennsylvania won in the contest that attracted even more attention.
 Because of the unexpected sue cess of the two-year trial and the widespread interest created Penn sylvania athletic authorities con- ceived the idea of inaugurating a relay race meet open to all col leges. It started in 1895 and was called carnival name that has remained ever since. Mile Relay in 3:34.2
 The first meet was made up large 1 ly of local athletes, Harvard being the principal outside competitor. The baton carriers of Harvard won the mile relay in minutes, 34 2-5 seconds.
 Since then the competition has gradually improved until the time for the mile event in the carni- val has been lowered to 3 minutes, Is 2-5 seconds.
 The sport grew year after year. The events of the first relay meet 38 years ago covered only a small part of one afternoon. It now takes two full days to run off the events, which have numbered more than 100
 So popular has the relay become that it is run in every part of the United States and in foreign coun- tries. The International Olympic council has recognized relay rac- ing, and it now forms an import ant part of the program in the quadrennial international meets in both swimming and track

SPORT SLAMS (AAlM e1a1I

For some reason, as yet quNe obscure, Fem Kearney of St. Louis, generally an astute judge of sport ing prospects, has bracketed the New York Giants with the St. Louis Cardinals as third choice, at the short price of 3 to l, for the National League pennant chase. It is all the more surprising in view of the quotation of only 2& to l on both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs, although these odds, together with those of to 1 on Philadelphia and Brooklyn, CO., incide with the general expectation that the race win again be a scramble Boston and Cincinnati are rated 20 to l by Kearney but it could just as well be 100 to without undue risk being involved.
 There are too many ifs" involved to figure the Giants in the first division groups. Whereas the Cardi- nals have enough pitching class alone, regardless of other problems, to keep them in the running, the Giants have only two mcundsmen of known class, Hubbell and Fitz- simmons.
 | Moreover, unless Travis Jackson
 can come back to play shortstop 1 in his old-time form, the Giants
 will not be much better off in that position than are the Cardinals,
 minus Charley Gelbert.

its efforts to resume publication of

time it urged the comrades active in
the various reformiSt unions to raise
the question with the miners of the
publication of oppositional papers.
Other important decisions made by
the conference include the work Tor
the coming national convention OF
the U,M.W.A., the participation in
all the elections in the various unions,
the work Of the national fraction, etc.
1t was decided that there be estab-
lished monthly Miners Fraction
Bulletin to coordinate and guide the
work of the Party in all mining fields.
One of the most important deci-
sions taken was that there be started
an intensive campaign to recruit the
miners into the Party. From the in
formation gathered it was brought to
light there are some 1000 miners in
the Party at present. The confer
ence, without setting any quotas, but
rather leaving these to the Districts
was Of the opinion that it is possible
to draw hundreds of miners into the
Party. There were even some en-
thusiastic comrades who said that
with good work we could bring 1000
miners into the Party in the next
three months. OF equal Importance
was the decision to build the circula-
ton of the Daily Worker and espe-
cially to develop q mass circulation
for the Saturday edition Of the Daily
Worker, which is to have a special
mining page, to be edited by the Ma
tional Fraction. The conference de-
cided to begin the publication of Party
mine papers to begin in the concen-
tration mines, and to develop regular
mine correspondent for the Daily
Worker.
