There does not seem to be much
cause for excitement in John L. Lewis
attack on Vice President Garner. Mr.
Lewis roars, which his admirers be-
lieves shake the earth, usually do well
to rattle the shutters.
Mr.. Lewis is still an active promoter
of civil disorder, and his communist
lieutenants have not abandoned their
revolutionary hopes. But his pre-
tensions to political power are by now
disproved. This is one reason why he
yells so loud.

Mr.. Lewis paragon of virtue and
assiduous ascetic though he may be,
has this time stepped heavily on a
banana peel and is in for the conse-
quences customarily consequent there
on. In doing so he has certainly
achieved publicity, for which his yen
is unmistakable. But there are var
ious sorts of publicity and the pres
ent instances savors Of the halitosis

Even wise and experienced alder
man never uses this kind of attack
in modern politics. 1t has not been
considered quite right since Grant won
the Civil War and the Presidency
twice against the same kind of per-
sonal abuse. The politicos do not shun
this strategy because they are kind
hearted, merely because they have
learned it is foolish and usually fatal
to their causes.

John l.. Lewis rendered organized
labor great disservice when he at
tackled Vice President John Nance
Garner before the House Labor Com
mittee this week. At the same time
Lewis rendered great service to those
who desire completely to emasculate
the Wage-Hour Act, particularly the
lobbles representing the agricultural
industries.
Congress has been in such an up
roar for the last two weeks that any
thing can happen. And if the Barden
program should pass, Mr.. Roosevelt
will have only Lewis, his political ally
OF other days, to thank. The Lewis
White House alliance is not what it
used to be. Mr. Roosevelt has told
friends that Lewis is "the greatest
egotist in the country" which might
explain why the C. |. o. leader grabbed
the spotlight by attacking Garner.
But Garner's supporters are very
happy over the entire Lewis incident
If the Vice President was seeking to
amend the Wage Hour Act then Lewis
helped him in no small degree. And
as for the effect on the Texans presi-
Dental boom, Lewis helped there also.

Maybe it was the proximity of Mars,
as some have suggested, or the heat,
as others charitably explain; but our
own hunch is that Lewis became in
toxicated by the sound of his phrases.

John l.. Lewis characterization of
Vice President Garner as "labor-
batting, whiskey-drinking, poker-play-

one of Mr.. Lewis chief aides in poll
tics as well as labor affairs seconded
with glowing words the denomination
of Mr.. Garner at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention of 1886.
Thomas Kennedy is one of the "big
three" of the United Mine Workers,
secretary treasurer of that big union,
and represents it on the executive
board of the C. |. O.
Three years ago he was elected
Democratic lieutenant of

On 8-Game List
Detroit Is Among Teoms
To Be Met Here; Three
New Foes Slated

Catholic University's football
team will play the first of an eight
game schedule on September 30
when 1t opposes South Carolina at
Columbia, Arthur J. cDutch'D
Bergman, c. U. director of athletics,
has announced.
Included In the list are three new
teams. Elon, Tulsa and st. Anselm's.
The four other opponents carried
over from last year, in addition to
South Carolina, are Detroit, West
Virginia Wesleyan, Miami and
Loyola Of the South. South Caro-
lima whipped the Cards, TO, last
year while Detroit crushed @. o.,
27-0.
In addition to the South Carolina
game, c. U. will play two others
away from home-against Miami
and st. Anselm's.
Cards Outlook Promising.
With no break in the schedule for
eight consecutive weeks, Bergman
again will be faced with the prob
lem OF having ample reserves, but
the Cardinal football outlook is the
most promising in several years. A
quartet OF regulars-Wayne Am
brose, John Kasunich, Frank Cairo
and Burke Vidnovic-wil be lost
through graduation. but Bergman
will have his pick Of q powerful 80
freshmen squad.
Vidnovic will be hardest to replace
because of his au-around ability to
pass, kick and run. Bergman, how
ever, will have Charley Moutenot,
Hank SAINT Ambrogio, Johnny FL
orellino, Albert Norris and Jim
Nemec as backfield material. The
latter two are graduates Of the
freshmen ranks.
Line Virtually Intact
G. US line will be virtually intact
The two Pirros Carmen and Rocco
probably will have to battle briskly
to retain their tackle berths. The
lack OF good ends last season may
be offset by Joe Brostek and Martin
Donovan, brilliant as freshmen.
Bergman indicated he would start
spring practice the latter part of
next month If the mild weather
continues.
The schedule:
September 80, South Carolina at
Columbia.
October 7. Elon College.

leyan.
October n, Miami UniverHty, at

To Confound Critics,

In Facing Ortiz

ORLANDO. Fla, Feb. 25.-First
Baseman Jimmy Wasdell may not
bat 800 for the Mats this year, but
"he is going to hit .290," says Man.
ager Bucky Harris, and a successful
bet to the contrary will bring you q
new suit.
Never certain of Wasdell's ability
to hit major league pitching, Harris
today predicted that Jimmy would
fool lot of people"
1--WE never seen him look so good
at bat" said Harris after the daily
practice. Hes still fooled by q
change Of pace now and then, but
when he tags the ball it goes for a
long ride"
Admires His Courage.
Best of all Harris likes Wasdell's
utter fearlessness. Jimmy is the
kind of fielder who gives his all to
stop a ball. He'll catch a line drive
in the teeth if he can't get it some
other way. And at bat-well, he
"batted" against Roberto Ortiz to-
day.
The Cuban speedball pitcher was
led to the box at Tinker Field for
his morning lesson and Wasdell
picked up bat to lend "atmos-
phere." For Is minutes Ortiz
blasted away with his fast ball.
Its as nervy a thing as you'll
ever see" commented Harris, speak
ing of Wasdell That's worse than
hitting in game against a fast
ball pitcher A fellow gets a little
