The agile little captain Of the
Boston Braves, who during twenty
two years of big-time baseball en-
tertained thousands with brilliant
play and amusing antics, lay on a
cot in Mound Park hospital today
with his left leg in splintS-broken
clean through.
Time seemed unable to stop this
42-year-old miracle man." but a
home plate collision did. He crashed
into Norman Kies. rookie catcher
Of the Yankees, during yesterdays
exhibition game.
DR.. Prescott Lebreton, bone spe-
cialist at the hospital, announced
that it was clean break of the
tibia and fibula bones. 1t will be
at least eight weeks before Maran-
vile would be able to walk.
No Ordinary Fracture
But he didn't say what most
baseball men we're thinking-that
the Rabbit would be lucky if he
ever walked again without a de-
cided limp, let alone play baseball
This is no ordinary baseball bone
splinter, from which young players
recover and get back into the game.
The Braves and Yankee camps
here were saddened by the accident.
Meanwhile had many visitors last
night. Big Babe Ruth, who was not
at the park when the accident oc-
Cured, blubbered like a 4-year-old
when he learned Of it. He was I'M
able to eat dinner.
The injury occurred in the eighth
inning Of a contest in which the
Rabbit was the hero. He drove out
a homer in the fifth inning and
came in with the tying run when
the accident occurred. The run was
allowed, and the game was called
with the score at 3-3 because of the
injury.
4 Had to Stop Some Time
The nimble Rabbit, on the third
base end of a double steal came
charging up to the plate He saw
that he had the play beaten, so
he came across erect, crashing into
the shin guards of 178-pound Kies.
He rolled over and over on the
ground, tried to hop about on one
leg with the other dangling gro
tesquely in his stocking. Then he
sat down with the broken portion
at right angle to the limb. Three
women tainted in the grand stand
Maranville muttered through
clenched teeth to his old catching
buddy of the glorious 1914 days,

Govt to Destroy
100000 Acres
of Smaller Farms
Roosevelt Plan Will
Raise Prices; Ruin
Small Farmers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-A new
farm program to destroy at least
so, 100000 acres of farm land now
being used for productive purposes
has been approved by President
Roosevelt. it was announced today.
The Roosevelt government will pay
the owners of the land $350000, 900,
and then forbid all cultivation on it.
In practice this will mean that the
rich farmers with large landholdings
will be able to sell to the government
their poorer lands, upon which now
live the tenant farmers and share
choppers. The tenant farmers and
small farmers will then be driven of
the land.
Actually this is what is already
happening as a result of the Roosevelt
farm program. In Texas for example,
over 100000 small farmers and share
troopers have already been driven off
the land by the Roosevelt acreage
reducing program of the A. A. A.
In addition, this Roosevelt farm
program raises the cost of bread and
farm products for the workers in the
cities, through reducing the supply,
and the low prices paid to small pro-
ducers. 1t intensifies the concentration
of the control of agriculture into the
hands of rich farmers and banks.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 3l-Tortured and
wracked by three years of imprison-
ment in one of the vilest dungeons
of the murderer General Chang Kai
Shek, Paul Ruegg, secretary Of the
Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat,
and his wife have gone on a hunger
strike in Marking prison.
Arrested by British imperialists
early in 1881, the Rueggs were handed
over to the Chinese Kuomintang
butchers. They were held III prison
for over a year without trial. Every
effort was made to kill them. They
we're beaten with bamboo poles. They
were exposed to disease. They we're
deprived OF food. In 1882, threat
ened with further tortures by their
ferdaI jailors, they went on hunger
strike. A world protest forced trial,
and they were sentenced to life inl-
prisonment on one OF the crudest
frane-upS.
Recently their treatment has be-
come worsef Realizing that the Man
king butchers we're attempting TO tor
ture them to death, the Rueggs went
on a hunger strike again to call at
tention of the workers everywhere to
