DECREASE IN
DEATHS FROM
GRID GAMES

NEW YORK, Nov. IA. U.P)-The
smallest total Of gridiron deaths in
q number of years is foreseen for
1894, with the end of the season still
more than two weeks off.
Prof. Floyd R. Eastwood, football
statistician, has compiled figures to
show that fatalities this season have
decreased Is per cent from cores
ponding period last year.
There have been II football
deaths this year. Last season, over
the same length of time, there were
20, and 81 all season. Eastwood es-
Inmates that there will be no more
than % this season.
Of the II deaths reported to date
this season, 10 occurred in high
school football, three in athletic club
competition, and only one in a col
lege game.
Twenty-Five deaths this season, if
Eastwoods estimate proves correct,
would be a decided drop from the
27 last year 33 for 1882, and 80 for
1881.

HARRIS BACK
To SENATORS

WASHINGTON, Nov. ID. (UP) -
Bucky Harris. who brought Wash
ington its first world series triumph
in history, came back today to the
scene of his success, again as man
ager of the senators.
Harris, by a strange quirk OF
baseball fate, returned here to re-
place Joe Cronin, only other man
to win league title for the Sena-
otrs and the man who ousted Har-
ris at the close of this season as
manager of the Boston Red Sox.
Clark Griffith, owner of the Sen,
aotrs, signed Harris to a oneyear
contract at an undisclosed figure
reported to be $1,000 or $4,000.
Cronin went to the Red Sox in a
100000 trade that gave him the
managers job at $25, 900 a year, a
price which the Washington club
could not afford
Coincident with announcement OF
signing Harris, Griffith indicated
that considerable portion of the
cash in the Red Sox trade would
be expended for player material to
improve the Washington club.
Harris broke into fame as the
"boy wonder" manager of the SEN
ators and led them to an American
league pennant and worlds cham
pionship in 1924. He repeated for
the pennant in 1925, but his team
lost the series to Pittsburgh. Three
years of declining success here fol
lowed.
Harris then went to Detroit, being
replaced here by Walter Johnson.
After five years at Detroit, he went
to Boston last year and brought his
team in in fourth place. He is 81
years old.

of the people whose low spirits re-
fiected the setback of the revolu-
ton. And as always in periods of
crisis and social bewilderment, came
the cropping for new solutions Ito
replace the 'irksome rigidities" of
Marxism for the problems of life.
Messiahs in Various CARDS
While Leinin and the Bolsheviks
perfected their theoretical equip
ment, frightened and overhauled the
mechanism of the whole movement
meSsiahs in various garbs sought to
corrupt the revolutionary intransi-
geance Of Marxism in the theoreti-
cal and philosophical fields. To
offset this attack on fundamentals,
Lenin, then in exile, wrote his mas
terly defense of dialectical material
ism, the philosophy of the revolu-
tionary labor movement, material
ism and Empirio- Criticism. Today
this feminist insistence on Marxist
fundamentals is of the greatest
value to the working class. From
capitalist crises spring new "solu-
tons" for the evils of the world.
Bourgeois pedants and social-demo-
cratic publicists alike attempt to
"modernize "-that is, to castrate-
Marxism into various reyisionist
patterns. In the fight against such
revisionism, as rampant as ever in
the crisis-ridden world of today, the
student may find a brilliant teacher
in Lenin and especially in Mate
rialism and Empirio- Criticism
The Marxist defense of reyolu-
tionary internationalism, its smash
ing onslaught against social-patriot-
ism is splendidly exemplified in
"The Imperialist War" The Second
international, its morale corrupted
by the theology fostered by oppor-
tunism, cracked under the first
blows of the war. But this OPP
portunism reflected no mere defec-
ton of individuals. 1t showed the

drink a cup Of coffee. I always felt
guilty about the coffee. They were
existing so meagerly and was
taking from their tiny food supply.
I'd mutter something about no
coffee for me, and Miller would ask
if was sick, his wife would laugh
and pour out the coffee and the
boys would line up along the table.
We would talk and they would tell
me of the new developments. Miller
had a guitar. He would play and we
would all sing. But he didn't like
the guitar, though it gave him
pleasure to play and sing. For
Miller said it was a romantic"
instrument. 1t was not militant
mass leading musical instrument.
He thought an accordion was more
of this type, but he couldn't afford
to buy one. With what fine feel
ing of strength used to leave their
little rooms. Miller gone. They
got him. Goodness knows how many
other Millers, the finest blood and
brain of Germany, of the German
working class, the black numbering
ruling class have killed.
THE second event that stays in my
mind is On beautiful Sunday
morning on the outskirts of Ham
burg I met four comrades. They
had packs on their backs, with food,
and small canteens with coffee.
We had looked forward to this hike
in the country. The day was great,
soft summer blue sky, the woods
green and smelling fine after two
weeks of the salty sea air I had been
shifting.
Hiking through the woods we
talked. How bitterly critical these
young German comrades we're. With
what clear young Bolshevik workers
eyes they looked at what was going
on in Germany. They jeered at the
old british militaristic Prussian
conceptions the ruling class was
trying to foist on the young workers

been thinking at the moment to
save the Party representative from

waited moment for the traffic to
clear so that he could cross the
street. Directly across the street
was the meeting place, the Alcazar.
"A big night bus came laundering
down the street. Miller threw him
self forward. The bus killed him
instantly. The police surrounded
the crowd and attempted to search,
but the crowd had grown swiftly to
such proportions around Miller's
body that arrests in an attempt to
capture the Party representative

through the Nazis. They joked of
the German Soul" existing in the
forest soil beneath our feet; the
"Aryan Trees" surrounding us.
A dull thudding sounded through
the forest. Down the narrow path
approached black uniformed men
on horses. Evil they looked, coming
toward us through the green woods.
We said nothing walking to the side
of the path as the S. S. Hitler
Guards rode past us. They looked
arrogantly down on us, laughing
and talking among themselves.
What poor lot of men they were.
No young men among them. Middle
aged, fat, faces like foremen in
factories, the kind bos'n's on ships
have. Sitting their horses awk-
wardly Forty of them rode past.
And the woods were silent again.
We were quiet too. I couldn't help
but think how those men would
come riding down on us, cutting us
down when the barricades go up for
the final battles here in Germany.
Finding quiet little place in the
woods about half mile off the path
we lay our packs down and, stretch
ing out, rested. Hans started to
tell us of an experience he had had
in a cafe with some drunken Nazis.
Suddenly through the woods came
singing. very clear AS if an
electric charge had coursed through
us we leaped to standing positions.
The voices were singing Rot

finishing the song with Rot Front,
echoing three times through the
woods. I started to yell an answer

had climbed, called to us. Il can

HAVING just returned from Ger
ii many, two events remain very
clear in my mind. The first event:
met the German comrade on the
corner. I meet him on the first
night each voyage of the ships
arrival in Hamburg. A brief ex-
change of how we each felt, then
Max (of course not the comrades
true name), with misty eyes
spoke:
'They got Miller" tiny muscles
in his jaw very rapidly tensing and
loosening.
Got him?" My heart dropped
into my belly. "How?"
THE secret police have been
watching all comrades whom they
are familiar with for the last two
weeks. Miller knew this so he
stayed away from home. A young
fellow. a courier, entered Mille-'s
home on Friday. The police nabbed
him. They tortured him until he
told that Miller was to meet one of
the Party representatives from Ber-
lin, Saturday night on the Keeper
balm in front of the Alcazar cafe.
Saturday morning the police caught
Miller on the street.
"They told him in jail that he was
to meet a certain man at eleven o.
clock Saturday night in front of the
Alcazar. If he wouldn't they would
shoot him now. Miller said no he
wouldn't meet anyone. Then ne
said yes he would. - Max told me
how they had found out what had
happened in the jails: I can't write
here how they found it out for 1t
would mean exposing comrade.
MILLER suddenly changed his
ln mind and said yes he would
meet this man at the corner at the
appointed time.
Quarter to eleven Saturday night
Miller was led out of the David
strasse Jail, plain-clothesmen were
