words are against someone she
dislikes. 1t may be they are
about a total stranger. If the talk
was conmendatory repeating it
would foster fine things. Good
things should be given frequent
repetition.
Pleasure Giving in 1887
We all could add so much to the
pleasure and JOY of living during
the new year 1897, if we would set
a watch on our talk, and by a
wishful determination use this
great means at our command to
help others. It is one of the things
that costs nothing and yet which
can do such an endless amount Of
good. 1t is a way open to all
alike.

two great cities rallied to the

Baseball's Pages
Turn Back at Port
of Aching Dogs

THEY have been moOred for long
L hours in the Port of Aching
DOgs-this haven high above Forty
second street where baseball men
gather when worn down by the off,
cial futiIity of their annual meet
ingS.
There is gossip about Kelley Of
Yale. Paul Krichell, the scout who
watched over him all last spring,
reveals that the youngster is tidy
first baseman with fair hitting abil-
ity. There is a leaning forward at
this but then the gathering settles
back. Krichen relates sadly that
professional sports have no lure for
the best ballyhooed athlete Of the
year and that he likes baseball least
OF all II the Yankees cannot make
him see reason the others know
they have no chance.
The conversation switches. A
minor manager, somewhat per-
turbed over the decision which gave
Cleveland full rights to Bob Feller,
wonders how England might have
made out if it had a Judge Lands
instead of a Baldwin as arbaer of
the niceties. He gets the floor for a
moment, but then Gene Mccain,
the veteran scout, comes in, fully
arrayed in white lawn tie, red stick
pin and gray checked suit. After
the applause has subsidized they re-
sumo playing over games of 25
years ago, debating each called
strike of that bygone era, arguing
franticauy over the events leading
up to each base hit and error.
A heavy set man, tanned face
scarcely more lined now than il
was those many seasons ago when
he was the games first and greatest
pinch hitter, enters the room. This
is a Yankee party but National
leaguers are welcome, especially
welcome when they have done SO
much for the sport as the present
insurance broker whose name IS
Moose Mccormack.
Moose, as is BETTING man who
hit so well and so often, starts
talking about pitchers. He tells
about attending the Chicago World
fair along with Ty Cobb and meet
ing Mordecai Brown. Years ago
some of basebalPs most thrilling du,
els were waged between these two
great hitters and the three-fngered
hurler who still is remembered as
one of the best of all time. Nc.
Cormack chuckles as he mentions
that Brown remembered their faces
but was far wide of the plate when
it came to names, thought Cobb was

T ALKING is the recognized
L medium of communication be-
tween persons who are together
or who, being absent, use tele-
phone. 1t is unfortunate having
such a marvellous medium at our
command that we so often fail to
put it to the use worthy of its
value. 1t is possible to send
glow Of happiness through the lis
tener when we speak merited
words of appreciation. 1t is pos
sible to solace those in sorrow by
words of comfort spoken from the
heart. 1t is possible to make joy
doubly gladstone by expressing
our happiness In the good fortune
of others. Through talking to our
children we can spur them on to
do fine things, or encourage them
in worthy resolves. In short the
good we can do by taking in
the right spirit is inestimable.
By talking IN the right way we
bring good TO others and Joy to
ourselves.
s'Too Much Talk"
It is when we swerve from the
best use of the spoken word that
we drag it down and harm both
ourselves and our hearers. There
is an expression "too much talk
which is significant of this very
thing. The words speak for them
selves, declaring that it would be
advisable to cease saying the
things we are. 1t is never said
of good words. Of them we could
say: Let US have more talk of the
same sort, It is needed.
Many Words
Have you ever considered how
much is said when derogatory talk
is going on? Words are spoken
and reiterated over and over
again, as if by repetition the un
Pleasant things would be In
creased. Unfortunately this is
what happens. Unkind or unfriend
ly conversation, by some perverse
, twist of human nature, is sure
to be repeated, and usually with
embellishments. Either the one
who repeats it cannot believe hel

COMMUNISTS BORING
FROM WITHIN" FL
PARTY

The Communists are elatod
over the influence of their rep
resentatives exerted recently over
the Farmer-Labor party In its
convention. ~
United Aetion, a local Commit
mist organ, states:
Forty delegates, members Of
the Communist party, played an
active and militant role on most
of the major questions that came
before the convention. The few
Trotzkyites present as delegates
played an Insignificant role"
The same articles recites:
"The red-baiters were squelch.
ed. All economic organizations,
including No. 574, Minnesota
Workers Alliance and the Finn
ish Workers clubs, were seated.
This laid the basis for really
building the Farmer-Labor As
sociations through the affiliations
of hundreds of economic organ
izations of the common people.
A significant forward step at this
convention was the defeat of
William Wright for secretary of
the FL Association. Wright had
been one of the leading red-bait-
ers prior to the convention"
That article also declares 'sthat
the Olson forces controlled every
major action of the convention"
which indicates his welcome to
the strong representation of Com
munists in the FL governing
body.
1t reads further:
"Mauseth electrified the con-
vention with his brief and con-
vincing condemnation of the
Roosevelt New Deal policies and
appealed for a complete break
with Roosevelt and the actual
launching of Farmer-Labor
movement and a 1886 presidential
ticket as the most crucial political
problem facing the American
masses.
Governor Olson and some of
his forces supported this resolu-
tion because they recognized the

ties, trade unionists and progress
