But we do believe in class
equality-that the laborer is as
good as the professional man,
the poor as good as the rich. But
look about you today. Jews,
with but S per cent Of the popu-
lation, have 80 per cent of the
controlling jobs in theaters,
movies, radio, the stage and in
large stores. And all those hired
as their assistants are Jews, ex-

cover up their dirty work.

who are the leaders among

This is the sort of thing we are
fighting. And we are organizing

us are poor. We have to work
now and hold our jobs. But the

"Once many Of these govern

indeed, become liberal. We do

TRACKSTARS JAM
PRINCETON MEET.
Mile Again Draws Veteran
Racers-Crack Field to
Seek 44O Mark.
By the Associated Press.


~ RNCETON, N. J.. June IA
- II a lasting tradition can be
established in three years, one
4 or more records probably will
be broken in the fourth Princeton in
vitation track meet which will be held
in Palmer Stadium here Saturday be-
fore throng of Tiger alumni.
Three previous invitation meets
have produced as many world record
performances and the picked group
Of 38 stars who will compete here Sat-
urday look good enough to knock down
a few other marks.
In the inaugural meet in June. 1894,
Kansas Glenn Cunningham set up his
world mile record OF 4:O6.7 as he out
ran Bill Bonthron and Gene Venzke
and Blazin' Ben Eastman OF San
Francisco ran half mile in 1893 to
establish new world mark and tie
the 800meter standard. No world
records were broken In 1885, but last
Spring Don Lash, Indiana's great dis
tance runner, set up 2-mile mark OF
1888, only to knock it down last
Winter when he did 8:58 indoors.
Neat Field for Mile.
CUNNINGHAM, Venzke and Lash
all are in the field for the classic
mile Saturday along with Archie San
Romani. the little speedster from En-
poria, Kans., Teachers College and

Olympic l,500 meter title in 1882
Cunningham tuned up yesterday by
winning the Metropolitan A. A. U. mile
title in 414.1, new meet record, and
seems ready for great race. Lash
has been running the mile consistently
this Spring in AIS or better.
San Romani turned in a 400 per-
formance in a special mile over the
Palmer Stadium track last October to
beat Jack Lovelock and Cunningham.
Venzke and Beccali can run the dis
tance in around 4:10.

nBPITE the rival attraction of the
National Collegiate A. A. cham
pionships at Berkeley, Calf, which
will draw most of the country's lead
ing college stars Friday and Saturday,
fine fields have been assembled for the
other six events.
The quarter-mile record Of 46.4,
which so far has withstood the assaults
of stars in three Princeton meets, will
be the objective Of Dennis Shore of

White Sox Still Nemeses.

THOSE Sox. apparently, are plain
poison to the Harrismen. Last
year the Washingtons would have
walked home in second place were it
not for the Jimmy Dykes crew. The
Sox took 16 of 81 games in 1886 and
apparently there is no law of aver
ages in this case. Anyway, of the nine
games played so far this season be-
tween the two clubs, Washington has
won only three.
Briefly, the horrific details Of yes
terday's affairs are these:
In the first game Pete Appleton
pitched great ball going into the Chi
cago eighth. He held 81 lead, but
Bonura singled to open round No 8
and Appling doubled him to third
base.
The Nat infield playing back, con-
ceded the Sox run when Lewis
threw out Hayes. Then, moving in
the Griffs prayed for a ball to the
inf1eld and got it. Hayes raped il
to Travis. 1t was an easy chance and
If Appling had tried to score he should
have been out by 10 yards.
Travis, however, was too busy
watching Appling to field the bal
and it skidded through him for ar
error, Appling scoring with the tying

BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

~ HARLESTON, w. Va, June
l4.-In it's sorriest state since
that dismal season of 1884,
~ the Washington base ball
firm paused here today on the way
home from the West. 1t was very
appropriate pause. Charleston belongs
to the Middle Atlantic League and so
do the Nationals, judging from their
play on the trip.
The Griffs head home with a record
of only 3 victories in IL games in
the West. They still are in sixth
place, because the Browns and AS
are putting y great fights for the
last two notIlles. They return, fur
thermore, pretty much in the doldrums
For one feeting afternoon and part
of another it looked as if the Wash
ington club had a chance to take a
fresh grip on life during this trip.
Yves Ferrell's great victory in Chicago
on Saturday made things look
brighter, and yesterday, for seven
innings, everything was going along
smoothly, Then, presto, they blew
the opener of a double-header to the
White Sox in their own inimitable
style and merely went through the
motions in the nightcap.
Maybe the home stand, beginning
tomorrow against Detroit. Will give
the Griffs a chance to get squared
away. This, however, is akin to
vhistling in the dark.

a coincidence, and perhaps signifi-
cant that the trade was beneficial to
both pitchers.
But what was not regarded as CO.
incidental by ball players was the
fact that Newson broke a bone in
Catcher Ray Hayworth's arm by hit
ting him with pitched ball. Now
that Newsom is gone he is regarded
by the Griffs as professional enemy,
and as such he will be watched closely.
Too many times has Newsom hit bat
ters this year for even ex-teammates
to trust completely.
Hayworth was the fourth
Tiger who was hit by Newsom
this season. Buck has hit Gil
English and Gerald Walker
twice while wearing Washing
ton uniform, and has aroused
suspicion all over the league.
His base on balls record is with
him in any argument that he delib-
erately is throwing at batters, but he
once said this season that he had to
dust of" Walker to keep him from
crowding the plate. So far ball play
ers have given him the benefit OF the
doubt on the other scores.
Nothing could be proven in court,
but If ball players are convinced that
Buck Is guilty of deliberately throw
ing at them they have a court OF
their own. In the case of pitchers,
punishment consists of purposely
bunting to the first baseman and
making the hurler cover the bag.
Then there is a little matter Of carv-
ing up the guys legs with spikes.
Jimmy Is Moving Up.
THERE was feeling among the
Nationals, when they left Chi
cago, that the next American League
pennant winners are the White Sox
Man for man they still are inclined
to give the Yankees an edge in power,
but there Is no denying the spirit and
will to win OF Dykes crew Of cast-offs.
In Chicago they call Dykes
the most underrated manager
In the ajor leagues and re-
gard him as rapidly moving to
the front rank.
Certainly his record with the Sox
entities him to consideration as q
builder Of ball clubs. He came to
Chicago to find nothing except flock
Of wornout minor leaguers and the
slightly over two years he has been
at the helm, Jimmy, without doing
1t spectacularly, bought, traded and
developed an entire ball club.
Dykes methods and success have
been to the complete embarrassment
of nearly every other manager and
club owner in the league. From
Washington, New York, Philadelphia,
st. Louis and Cleveland, notably, he
has picked up players who were not
wanted-picked them up for ridicu-
