reports. both mother and baby
are doing splendidly.'
We repeat that old man

time lately. Last night he
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey

house at Ventnor, N. j., for
the remainder of the summer.
They left several days ago,
packing bag and baggage and

their summer home in Cali

ers are the enemies of the people
Who are the red baiters? The Lib.
erty Leaguers, the finks and the
scabs and the Tom Girdlers!
So | say, let us build this move
ment of all democracy loving people.
We exclude no one who is willing
to fight for democracy. In building
this peoples front, we shall defeat
fascism in America and we shall do
our utmost to defeat fascism through
out the world!
My friends, l want to thank you
for having waited here so patiently
to hear me speak. l want to thank
you for your courtesy. I simply
want to leave this last thought with
you:
Mooney, Billings, and all of the
other class war prisoners, their free
dom depends on the outcome of the
clash between the forces of democra-
cy and the forces of reaction and
fascism in the United States! So that
being the case, we want Mooney
free; we want Billings free; we want
the other class-war prisoners free.
Then, | say, a progressive peoples
front against fascism, and that will
bring about victory against fascism
and victory for Tom Mooney and
Billings and the other class-war pris-
onersl
In my activities throughout the
United States-perhaps, it is my
youth, perhaps it may be a lack of
experience on my part-but, my
friends, I see fully coming up from
over the horizon a ball of fire hail
ing forth the birth of a new day in
America, a new day which the re-
dictionaries do not see. They can't
see it; they are still living in the
recesses of the darkness. But this
new day is gradually being seen by
all~of the workers and the liberty
loving people of this country; a new
day which will mean not prisons, not
punishment, but honor and respect
for Tom Mooney and the other labor
leaders who have been the martyrs
OF the labor movement-a new day
which will mean that the benefits
OF our American democracy will be
distributed more and more, and ac-
cepted and received by many, many
more of our American people-a new
day which will mean that America
is not only the richest country in the
world, not only the country of the
Stars and Stripes, and the subways
and inventions. But a day which
will mean liberty, freedom for our
workers, and above all a happy ma
ton of a happy peoplel

r OCAL scholastic series basket
ball, which rapidly was failing
through non-support, is ex-
pected to be resuscitated by
three night double-headers approved
by the board Of high school princi-
pals. The twin bills will be staged
on the nights Of February S, IL and
26, with q possibility that they will
become q permanent feature next
year.
After viewing an experimental game
last Friday night between Tech and
Eastern, the principals enthusiastic
cally indorsed the plan Of Birch E
Bayh, supervisor Of public school ath-
letics, to stage nocturnal double
headers. The principals, voting indi-
vidually by telephone, unanimously
agreed on Bayh's suggestion.
Crowds Conduct Decides.
IN COMPARISON with the largest
crowd, 420, attracted to any single
day game last year, the Tech-Eastern
night game drew nearly $500 spec
tators to Tech High gym. Oficials
frankly were astonished at the orderly
demesnor Of the crowd, and this, it Is
felt by those close to the situation,
played q major role in swaying the
opinion Of the board.
Eastern, Central and Wilson will
participate in each twin bill. On
February Central will face Eastern
and Western will meet Wilson. Cen
trail will stack up against Roosevelt
and Eastern tackles Wilson on Feb
ruary IL, while on February rs Tech
battles Wilson and Central collides
with Western.
Last year only single games were
played In the series, while this season
Bayh recommended the partial return
of the double header system. with
single games on Tuesdays and double
headers on Fridays. It is highly prob
able that all Friday twin bills next
year will be played at night, with
single games remaining In vogue on
Tuesdays.

NAvY'S STRONG MAN
VERSATILE ATHLETE
Bergner, 215-Pound Plebe, Boxes,
Wrestles, Plays Foot Ball.
Lacrosse, Tosses Shot.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
A NNAPOLIS, Md, January 49,
= Midshipman AL Bergner Of Kan
kakee, H., who though still q plebe
is the Naval Academy's strongest man
by official tests, is so much in demand
for the different athletic teams that
he has difhculty in settling in the
right groove.
The shifting around started In the
Fall, when, althouhg his experience
in foot ball has been entirely as q
lineman, he was placed in the back
field Of the plebe eleven. During the
Summer he became the champion
heavyweight boxer in his class, but this
Winter has turned up with the
wrestling team, and won his first bout
last Saturday against the freshmen
Of Virginia Military Institute.
Bergner's services will be in demand
by two teams again in the Spring, as
he has played some lacrosse, and his
215 pounds, with speed and ability
besides, would be Of great service on
the defense, but it has been found
that he can toss the shot In the high
forties and the track and field people
certainly will want him In that line.

last night. Ga, SO. seemed indicative
Of the difference between their games.
The current de luxe attrac-
ton Of the pros, combining, rs 1t

personality, probably is the best
yet presented since turning pro

plete social disgrace:
Tilden's moneyed feuds with Winnie
Richards failed to capture the public
fancy as Vines and Perry are doing,
and Big Bill's tours with Karel
Kozeluh, Hans Nusslein, Martin Plaa
and Bruce Barnes were something less
than box Office smash hits. A year
ago Tilden and Barnes, sharing top
billing with Jane Sharp and Ethel
Burkhardt Arnold. drew less than TOO
spectators at Catholic University.
Last nights crowd at Maryland was
$500 paid, but, counting the dead
heads" close to 1900 thought enough
Of the attraction to drive or 10 miles

Noticeable was the complete subju-
CATION Of Tilden's old trick. Vines,
student under the old maestro, has
picked up few of Willie's stunts. He
leers at late-comers, smirks at off,
cials, purposely tosses away points and
commands the public address system
operators to tell the customers how
to behave
Barnes, another Tilden stu
dent, apes him In . collegiate
sort Of way. George Lott the
other member Of the troupe,
broke down once and offered his
glasses to q lipe judge, but peo-
pie have been watching this stun
for years.
Little wonder it Is that Perry. while
he may not be the best pro of them

earning Of any of them. He's re-

basket ball team, still seeking
its first major victory of the season,
stacks up against Virginia Tech at
Brookland at $50 o'clock.
Potentially one of the best collegiate
teams in this area, the Cards have not
lived up to expectations chiefly be-
cause of a dearth of reserve talent
The Gobblers, like virtually every op-
ponent Catholic University has faced
this season, will hold a distinct edge
over the Redbirds in this department
After compiling early leads in most
OF their games thus far, the Cards
have faded rapidly in the waning mo-
ments to lose. Duquesne, st. Thomas
Mississippi State and Duke were forced
to travel at top speed, but neverthe-
less all were successful in wearing
down c. us first team.
Searching for Reserves.
COACH FOD COTTON, still search
ing for capable reserves, thus far
has found none and 1t is likely that
his starting lineup against Virginia
Tech also will finish the game. Cot
ton will use Capt. Zeke Brown, center;
Hermie Schnarr and Wayne Ambrose,
forwards, and Sam Pagano and Irish
Carroll, guards.
Schmarr, who set q new District
record last week by scoring 81 points
against Shenandoah, doubtless will be
guarded by Capt. Joe Mottola, crack
Tech performer, who will see action
tonight for the first time this year
following lay-of necessitated by in

Joe for q job well done, then added
