IN THE World Series of 1924 a cru
cial game was played in WASH
ington. The seventh game was to
be the deciding one, with the New
York Giants and Senators tied three
games to three The game went
smoothly to the twelfth inning and the
Senators needed only one run to win
the game, the series and a check for
$5,959.64 for each man in the club.
First man at bat was Miller, third
baseman. He was tossed out at first
Gowdy, Giant catcher, dropped Rueps
foul for an error. Then Ruel ripped
out double past third.
Johnson, Senators pitcher, hit to
Shortstop jackson, who fumbled the
ball, permitting johnson to reach first.
Ruel safely held second. McNeely,
Senators center fielder, was up. Nc
Nicely slammed the ball down the
third-base line. The ball bounced
viciously. Third Baseman Lindstrom
of the Giants crouched, reached for
the ball-and missed It'll
Strange as it seems, the ball had
been detected by tiny pebble direct
ly in its path. 1t bounced clear over
Lindstrom's head Ruel calmly walked
home for the winning run.

CROWD ENTHUSED


upon the tremendous outpourings
Of sound in blocks of massive har-
mony, the performer seemed to
ride exultantly. The listeners
caught his enthusiasm and fol
lowed the alterations of volume
and speed that made up his F
minor Toccata with almost breath
less excitement.
DR.. Noble opened his program
with this Toccata and its APP
pended fugue, added choral
prelude of his own. and Handel
concerto to which he improviSed a
slow movement which the com
posed omitted to provide, adher-
ing faithfully to the Handelian
ddiom.
He elected to deal sparingly
with the modern colorists. Like
most organists he likes his instru-
ment best when it sounds most
like an organ and is less inter
ested in it's capacities to initiate
the great orchestra.
However, he made concessions
to the Cathedrals great instru
ment and to popular taste with
works of Gliere, MoussorgSky,
Rebikow, Karg-Elert and Yon,
quoting from Bach the Fuga
Scherzando. two choral preludes
and the great B minor prelude
and Fugue, to close the evening.
BERNIER IN RECITAL
Conrad Bernier. organist and
faculty member at the Catholic
University, who halls originally
from Quebec. played recital at
Howard University last night that
was particularly fortunate in its
emphasis of the music of Cesar
Franck. The father Of the French
impreSsioniSts is known to Amer
tea by two works-the D minor
symphony and the sacred song
~Panis Angelicus." The true
flavor of his idiom was developed
by and for the organ and it is
Mr.. Bernier's happy gift to dis
cover many Of its characteristic
infections.
He played the "Pastorale," the
choral in A minor, and the piece
Heroique," treating the basso os
tinato in the latter work with I'M
usual skill and imagination
Quoting such important Bach as
the G Minor Prelude and Fugue
and standard works by Guilmant
Widor, and Verne, the program
also included an unfamiliar set OF
variations by Daquit and three
new works by the performer which
were played for the first time.

The great organ of the Wash

night by DR.. T. Tertius Noble, for
many years organist of ST..
Stephens Church. New York, and
famed for his contributions to sa-
cred music.
He is one of the few masters Of
the instrument who has the gift to
make it the expression of his own
personality, whereof the salient
trait appears to be a vast and con-
Stunning enthusiasm for the organ
and its music.
The listener senses this enthusi-
asm, especially in those moments
when DR.. Noble storms through
some passage of great technical
difficulty. or demands of his
mighty instrument its full and
overwhelming volume of tone.

HANKOW, April 4 (I.N.S.).
Contrary to NippOnese claims,
japanese troops have been al
most completely cleared out of
Taierchwang, according to Chi
nese military headquarters here.
Most Of the city is in Chinese
hands and the Japanese are ex-
pected to be removed from the
outskirts by nightfall, a spOkes-
man said.
SHANGHAI, April 4 G.N.SJ
Chinese troops today bit off one
corner of the immense triangle
where, according to Japanese re
ports, 100000 Chinese soldiers are
trapped.
The Chinese commander-in.

which was said by the Japanese to
be the southwestern corner Of the
triangle.

However, a Chinese report Of
the capture of Taierchwang
seemed to bear out the Japanese
contention that Chinese bulletins
telling Of victories were exag-
gerated. The Chinese announced
in the middle of last week that
the Japanese were drivn out Of
Taierchwang and pushed two and

the Chinese again announced the

Answering r. S. v. P. of the

ways denounces Fascism but
never Communism.
For R. s. v. p information,
Fascism' as well as Naziism, is
basically. nothing but anti-Com-
muniSm. If Communism had
not taken over Italy and Ger
many, there would be no Fascist
or Nazi doctrine today, for these
came up only as anti Commu-
mist measures. Communism is
strictly a Jewish innovation, al
though many others play at it
and even believe in it.
This explains the anti-Jewish
sentiment in Italy and Ger
many. Now as to the CIO,
nearly all the propagandists
and most Of the agitatorS for
this organization are Jews.

Canadian in QuandGry

AS a visiting Canadian, I have
noticed several American pc
culiarities. It seems the proud
est boast an American can make
is that his country is a melting
pot of nations, a haven of refuge
for the oppressed, where people
of different nationalities live
side by side in friendship, all
calling themselves Americans.
Yet I haYe also noticed how
quickly an Italian-American will
leap to the defense of MusSo-
lini, how quickly a German
American will defend Hitler, and
so on. Surely. as Americans,
they cannot defend both their
American democracy and some
foreign dictatorship. F. T. w.

The writer did not attend the
first meeting of the Civil Service
Assembly, but after reading Of
the activities in the Times Tues
day, I should like to make a few
comments. Perhaps the as
sembly is best acquainted with
the Civil Service in the States.
G. Lyle Besley, executive direc-
tor, is quoted as stating, 1T is
encouraging to note several
efforts by service men to extend
preference to veterans were
turned back by an aroused
citizenry in the past year."
This reference does not apply
to Federal employees. There was
an attempt in 1884 to amend the
preference law. The suggestion
was not reported out of the
Civil Service Committee. It Is

little preview with just a glimpse
of the waywardneSs:
Benny Rosenbaum was little
sawed-off Texas Jew who en-
listed in the Army on the day
the United States declared war
against Germany. He served in
one of the regular divisions and
was Shell-Shocked during the
Meuse-Argonne offensive. He re-
turned in due time to the city
of Wichita Falls where his
father was a prosperous jeweler.
Outwardly he seemed all right
but his experiences had COM
pletely eradicated his caution
in money matters. He took
his first bonus, on the aft
ernoon he got it, and distributed
it among a group of out-of.work
oil-well diggerS who were loafing
outside the post office.

loss over what sort of busi-

children in Barcelona and reg

If R. S. v. P. will just remem-
ber that Communism means
Jewish rule, usually behind a
Gentle 'front.'" most of the do
ings in the CIO and the rest Of
the world will come into an
amazingly clear focus.
He should also remember that
the Communists take over a
country through the aid Of
labor unionists. The workers
are saps in the end. They be-
come the slaves of the Jewish
state as in Russia.-"Q. E. d..

generally believed that the Con.
gresS will under no circum-
stances disturb the preference
laws.
The executive secretary further
stated that seniority rights
should have no place among
Federal employees. For the
benefit of Mr.. Lyle, branches Of
our service, such as the Post
Office, enjoy the brightest
morale because Of a seniority
rule. To a certain extent foreign
service officers have seniority
system. What about the Army
and the Navy?
Outside of the Government,
the Western Union Telegraph
Company, whose morale among
employees is very high, extends
the seniority system even to the
privilege of taking vacations.
There should. be no confusion
between the State Civil Services
and the Federal one. There can
be no comparison.
