Base Ball Looks Up.

"A PPARENTLY past the severe finan-
n cial crisis of 1928, organized
professional base ball faces the
new year with radically shifted playing
forces. The Boston Red Sox loom as

modern battery, Lefty Grove, While the
other half Mickey Cochrane. becomes

Boxing, hardest hit of all the big
professional SPORTS, anticipates two
world heavyweight matches without
much basis for enthusiasm. Primo
Carnera, the Italian holder Of the title,
is matched with Tommy Loughran for
a February match in Miami, the
winner presumably to meet Max Baer
in New York next June. Either or
both contests may fall through unless
some force or figure develops to dictate
the course of pugilistic comeback.
Vines Pro Debut Interests.
THE New Year spotlight will be
turned quickly on the debut of
Ellsworth Vines as tennis pro-
fessional in competition with the 40
year-old master, Big Bill Tilden, at
Madison Square Garden. This event,
the forerunner of an international
venture bringing Frances Henri Cochet
into the pro picture, contrasts with
the drab outlook on the amateur side
where American Davis Cup prospects
are at a low ebb again and the return
of Helen Wills Moody to competition
questionable.
A challenge from Great Britain for
the international polo trophy is over
due but the United States meanwhile
awaits the decision soon as to whether
Tommy Hitchcock. long the top-rank-
ing American polo star. must share or
yield his position of eminence for 1884
with Cecil Smith and Elmer BoeSeke,
jr. However this purely domestic affair
is settled, the United States will be
well prepared to meet any foreign In
vasion on horseback.
Outlook Generally Bright.
TINE horses will gallop on more
tracks than ever before during
the new year. College athletic
budgets should be balanced again.
Babe Ruth may make his farewell to
base ball arms-at half the salary he
drew for 1888.
Notre Dame should stage come
back on the gridiron under Elmer
Iayden. The major league races both
should be bigger and better. All at no
increase in the price of admission but
with the prospect OF bigger and better
arguments.

Revolutionary

This analysis by the Communist
International is confirmed not only
by the profound commissions shaking
capitalist conditions, and not only by
the crisis Of social democracy, but by
a large number of important events
in the sphere of the international
revolutionary movement. It is con-
firmed above all by the heroic strug-
gle of the C.P.G. against the fascist
dictatorship.
Soviet China is developing into
real leader of the social and national
emancipation of the whole country,
and to factor In international policy.
In the Chinese Soviet districts new
Soviet State is being rapidly built up.
The membership of the Communist
Party has increased by one hundred
thousand in one year.
In Japan, where the forces of coun-
ter-revolution are gathering, the
forces of revolution are growing at the
same time. This country is on the
eve Of great class struggles. Fascism
is growing, and with 1t the daring of
the militarist fascist cliques. But at
the same time the dangerous
thoughts" are growing too, making the
ruling classes tremble. The G. P. of
Japan is growing, and is carrying on
exemplary Bolshevist work and a
heroic struggle against war.
In Poland we place on record not
only mass strikes of the workers, but
great revolutionary actions in the
rural districts. In Spain the struggle
between the forces of revolution and
Of counterrevolution Is in full swing.
Decay of Social Democracy
These examples might be multiplied.
The maturing of the revolutionary
world crisis is accompanied by the
decay of international social demo-
cracy, a decay representing a part of
