RUSSIAN PLANES
 MAKE TWO RAIDS

Tokyo, July 17.-(UP) Russian airplane fleets effected two bomb- ing raids inside !Aanchukuo yester- day, dispatches from Hsinking, the capital asserted today.
 The first reid was made at 3;30 a. r1., in the vicinity of Fularki rail- road station, 230 miles from the outer Mongolian frontier, along the Manchuli- -Harbin International rail- road, dispatches said.
 Japanese army authorities at Hsinking expressed belief that the Russians were trying to disrupt the railroad. They said eight bombs destroyed two houses and wounded seven persons.

 A possible formula for settlement of the dispute will be offered today by Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New York, president of the U. 8. confer- cnce of mayors. The executive com- mittee of the mayors group last week suggested to Harrington that the prevailing wage scale be continued on projects started prior to July 1, but that it not apply to later under- takings, pending clarification of the situation.
 Harrington asked them to make a formal proposal "in writing" for his study but said frankly that he did not think that the plan could be ef- fected under wording of the law.

 What He Opposes
 "When other leaders within the CIo make overtures to the Com munists by adpoting Bolshevik methods, by working hand in hand with them to establish e Proletarian dictatorship, to seize industry, to sow the seeds of world revolution, to breed class hatred, to overturfl American constitutional government and to spurn our Christian heritage, I stand opposed to them.
 "But by no stretch of the irn- agination can my opposition to these things be interpreted as an opposi- ton to sound unionisrn or to the general objective of the A. 7. or L. or CIO."
 Social Justices commentator said Father Coughlin was Tho more afiti- gentle than anti-5enite."
 Flag of Persecution
 ITO win sympathy, the fellow travellers of Communism unfurl the flag of persecution,' he said. "The Communist lovers, who by the way do like the odor of the word, Com munism, raise the hue and cry of against any person who singles them out.
 Therefore, follow MT. Roosevelt's grade school logic. It runs like this: He who is anti Communist is anti- Semitic. Now anti-semitism Is 90 immoral that It should not be toler- ated on the airways. Consequently Father Coughlin should be disbarred from broadcasting."
 He said that Elliott Roosevelt land his family have been on rather friendly terms with the Communists.

LOCAL WORKERS
 2 MAKE PROTEST
fContinued from Page D
200 At Welfare Dept.

{ As early as Saturday morning some of the dismissed WPA men were at the welfare department seeking either reinstatement or city aid. But today the turnout was far greater. and welfare officials said that at least 200 men must have come there to protest.
 No word has yet been heard from the state WPA office of the replace rpent of the men dismissed. Those who have been on the waiting list are now supposed to be given work but no action has yet been forth- coming. This would somewhat ease the relief burden. since most of those who would be given WPA jobs are now on the city relief rolls.
 The lay-offs are officially for 90 days, but 1t will be months before the men are re-hired, If they are at a1l. They must be reexamined, re- certified, and then take their place on the waiting list until jobs are available for them.

 The senate group, headed by Sen- ator James k. Murray, D., Mont, abandoned efforts to revise the relief law because of strike violence, which they termed embarrassing"
 Sabath agreed with President Roosevelt that persons receiving re- lief should not strike against the government, and admitted that strike riots didn't do our cause any good" The president said Friday he did not consider the protest a strike inasmuch as you cannot strike against teh government"
 Dropping 650,000
 WPA officials said that some BOG, 900 persons would be cut off the relief rolls during August to meet the con- grcssional 18-months restriction and that another 350,000 would be fired in September. The dismissals will be carried out gradually, they said, in order to avoid disruption of project operations.
 The new reductions arc in addi- ton to the normal" cut ordered previously to bring WPA rolls down from 100000 in June to 2,40000t in July.

SOUTH END SOFTBALL

Nearing the completion of the first round, the South End Softball league should be thus far highly rec commended for its fine work. At the end of two weeks more playing a first place team will be honored. But only time will tell this, for not one team has yet given in aggression.
 At a meeting held here last Thurs day night, the leagues constitution was augmented by two additional amendments. The first was the orig inal ground rule; a ball hit into the center field bushes allows two bases. And the second was merely an ad- ditional entrance fee.
 Next week the league will cele- brate it's first annual dance to be given at the Franco-American hall. All teams are urged to be repre- sented at tomorrow evenings con- fab to be held at the club library at the usual time. Dance tickets must be returned at this meeting.
 The main event of last weeks schedule was when the youngest squad of the league took home the most tender bacon at the expense of the defending champions. St. Ann A. A.

of Louis raw fists. I was seated near him the night that Joe whack- ed poor Primo Camera into small and unattractive bits, and when Camera fell like g. stricken chim- ney, MT. Jacobs, unable to curb his enthusiasm for such show of hit ting, leaped nimbly over two rows of chairs. to tell me that never be- fore had he seen such death and destruction in a set of boxing gloves.
 But to get back to MT. Jacobs and his sensational brain children. He followed the charge of loaded fists with an even more amazing move. After two hours of serious mental gymnastics he came up with re- quest that the fight between Ga lento and Louis be refereed by none other than Arthur Donovan.
 This was a sure fire-Space-getter because Donovan has worked so many Louis fights, and expressed his admiration of Joe so often, that there has been an occasional refer ence to him as Joe's private ref cree" Jacobs knew it was believed that he would oppose Donovan be- cause of this, so he took advantage of it, and even included in his re- quest a tribute to Donovan as a ref cree so glowing that Donovan's nearest and dearest of kin couldn' t have improved on it.
 This tribute was a smart bit of business almost as smart as that of Galento on the night of the Baer- Nova fight when Two Ton made friends with Louis when the two of them were introduced from the ring Donovan is only human, and nc member of our race was ever of- tended by praise. While it won't make him give Tony any the bet ter of it June 28, it certainly won t influence him to give Tony any the worst of it.

 A. On August 6, at Chicago, he played IA holes in IS hours T min- utes, and on September 28 he com- pleted a four-day 600 hole marathon which began at Los Angeles, Calif., September 25 and ended at Westbury, Long Island, N. Y. @. In how many games in the the 1888 season did Charles Red" Ruffing perform as a relief pitcher for the Yankees?
 A. None.
 @. One man is out and runners are on second and third. The bat ter hits to right field and his fly is caught. The runner on third scores, but the runner on second, who left before the ball was caught, is put out before he can get back, thus making the third out. Did the run from third count? Was it a force play?
 A. If the runner from third scored before the runner who had been on second was put out, the run counted. This was not a force play. The use of word force" in baseball means that runners are compelled to advance on the bases because the batter must run to first base. It was obligatory on the part of the runner who was on second to return to that base, but he was not forced" in the sense that the force rule implies.
 @. Did Heinie Manush ever win the American League batting championship?
 A. Yes = in 1926, with a mark of SIT.
