The packed park could tell in
stantly the ball met the bat that
Lefty's coveted goal was gone.
The ball simply took off on a line
at great speed and the last person
to see its white hide disappear in
the darkness of the night beyond
the left field wall was Morry
Abbott, left fielder.
You could hear the groans and
gasps of the crowd when the ball
started its teal-like flight toward
the outer garden. It was regret
sounded in the concerted voice of
several thousand fans.
Lefty himself turned and fol-
lowed the ball high above his head.
His posture seemed to indicate his
detection as his lost hopes Travelled
nose and nose with the agate.
True, he won the game, 2
and l. and added a one-hitter
to his no-hit, no-run game
against Wenatchee some time
back in the same park. But
he would have had a perfect
game in this one, eve though
Il was only a seven-frame af-
fair. For not one Chinook put
a fin on the bags up to the
time Bliss bfistcred that fast
ball pitch.
The irony of it all is this
Isekite had two and nothing on
the batter. Foul tips one after
another made Lefty work hare
and finally it was three and two
with Bliss still dug in ready fol
a full blast, as he had done on hi:
other cuts.
Bliss was waiting for the fast
one. And it came. To SECOND
guess on the big fellow, who hac
thrown EN- past the batters al
night, let US reason that it woulc
have been the time and place t.
offer him a change of pace. Tt
pull the string, as it were.
However, Isekite pitched ant
Bliss hit in the last frame, with
two already away. Then, to adj
a bit more vinegar to the wound
the final batter, Harris, did strik,
out, the 18th man to go dow
under the big fellows skillful hill
work.
The Tigers scored In the
first on a double by Hartman
and a single by Mattos and
again In the third on q double
by Isekite, Harriman's deep
fly to center which gave Ise-
kite a ride to third, and Mat
tos' single.
Mattos, by the way, had tn
greatest night of his r No
only at the bat, but defensively a
well. The hard working youngste
collected three doubles and a singh
in the first game and fielded lik'
a Jimmy Collins. He played al
important part in that Tiger shut
out victory, 5 to 0, nine frames.
II was Red & White Grocer,

Ray Medeghini, the reliable right
handler of the Tigers. He gave u

third. With one away Mattos

pleasant kid was doing every
thing in a big way last night
and later scored with Garrett

doomed the left field fence
with a double.

NO REVOLUTION
IN AMERICA
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(0roville Mercury-Register)
A serious congressional committee on
Monday heard a serious witness say that
the American people will have to rise
under some American officer of the
Franco type" if red revolution" is to
be averted.
In America this could have happened
only before a congressional committee,
and the witness could have been only
some one of the New York type who
commutes to Paris and London rather
than seeing America first.
The witness is described as "a New
York socialite" Judging from what he
had to say he must know very little OF
the great United States west of the APP
palachian mountains.
We do not ask that witness to traverse
the country to learn more about its
temper Let him drive west only as far
as Ohio or Indiana and tour the country
side. talking with the people, and he
will find to his surprise that they are
totally different from his little inner
circle of friends who conduct themselves
as though the rest of the Americans were
untOuchables and conjure up hoggob-
Inns to terrify themselves.
We do not know what the years shall
bring to pass, but we do know that the
United States is not now in the slightest
danger of red revolution" 1t will take
a much greater upheaval in American life
than we have yet experienced to bring
that on. A war might bring some great
change to us, but the fascists rather
than the reds would be the ones to take
away our rights, and they would do it
in the name of efficiency rather than
because they actually feared a radical
revolt.
And we do not mean by this that there
are no reds in the United States, and
that they are not causing trouble. They
do their bit, true enough, but the Ameri-
can people do not respond to their sort
of talk and their sort of theories.
few activities such as sit down strikes
and our people show their displeasure
unmistakably, removing governors and
showing willingness to change parties.
No, the way of the communist is not our
way no matter what Mr.. Dies may say.

NURTURlNG DEFEATISM
AMONG GRADUATES

Now that millions of high school and
college graduates throughout the United
States are preparing to step into the
responsibilities of a post-school llfe nun
dreds of commencement speakers Will
begin telling them that what they need
is courage to face an era in which the
opportunities for young men and women
are not what they once were.
Poppycock!
What the graduates need is the good
old slang advice to Get in there and
pitch" and what some of the commence
ment speakers need is a bit of advice to
forget about what they consider youths
lost opportunities.
There is Just as much chance today for
an ambitious, intelligent young man or
woman as there ever was. People are
getting old and retiring just as fast as
ever and there aren't as many young
sters i'm the country as there were few
years ago. The declining birth rate,
whatever else you may say for 1t, will
work to the advantage of young people
in the next few years.
1t is unhealthy to tell a young person
that he was born under an unlucky star
that he hasn't very good chance to
get a job and that if he does he hasn't
much chance to get ahead in it. 1t is not
Only uDitdllHy, II 10 uoNiii IShI
full. It is an outgrowth of the same phil
osophy that has brought us millions on
relief who believe the government owes
them a living if they don't want to work.
Ever since 1929 some of our wlsest
adults have been complaining that there
are no more jobs for the young people,
no more opportunities for them to ad-
vance, no more chances for them to carve
a name in the halls of history. Strange
ly enough, they are the same adults who
will tell you-if you'll listen-that the
younger generation is going to the dogs.
They are the same kind of people who
have been saying the same kind of thing
for hundreds of years
Do they think civilization is at stand
still? Do they think there will be no
famous names ten, twenty or thirty
years from now?
They must, for if you analyze their
statements you arrive at the conclusion
that there will never be another young
ster who grows up to become President
of the United States, and never another
who rises to the top in business, and
never another who writes a worthwhile
book or makes a worthwhile discovery.
If there are no opportunities, then all
these things are true
Somehow, though, we hold the abid-
ing conviction that there are opportunl-
ties, and that now as in the past the
youngsters who take hold of them VIII
reap the full reward.
Defeatism has no place in happy life.
Let's not breed it into our young people.

Willis Thontons Editorial On.
A Shade Appeals to a Ghost

Perhaps even so shadowy per-
formance is not entirely in VAIN.
Nav there not come time when
the nations of the world, weary
of the eternally increasing burden
of ornaments, sick of living be-
meath the perpetual shadow OF
crises, will turn again to try TO
reconstitute better way of han
ding these things than by force
and threat?
In main obiectives, the League
of Nations has failed. 1t Is easy
now to see some of the reasons.
Too heavy a dominance by the VIC
tors in a great war, too close a tie
to the terms of settlement of that
war, these are factors of failure
which are easy to understand TO-
day.
Yet the League has done good
work in Some fields, has adjusted
many minor problems, even though
it failed in the great ones. 1t has
not been entirely in vain. The ex-
perience gained in the experiment
noble in purpose will be a guide
post when the effort comes anew
as 1t must come some day.
1t is a ghost, perhaps at Geneva
but it is q ghost of whose presence
men are still constantly aware.

Famous Sayings

WASHINGTON. - 1t is a queer
mixture of fantasy and fact that
the Dies committee is unearthing
these days.
If it shows how anyone at all can
set up shop as a dealer in scare
stories about the Communist revol-
ution," and can drive a flourishing
business in wild and woody propa-
ganda, it also shows that he can
find market for his wares.
And if this material about the
Jewish plot" is childish, put out
through transparent subtcrfuges,
there is the SOLDERING thought that
If Fascist-type of uprising ever
does occur in this nation it will
happen along just the lines that
the committee has been uncover
ing.
The formula is simple. AS the
Dies committee has exposed it, 1t
goes like this:
First sell people on the idea that
the Communists cplus the jews
are getting ready to seize the gov
ernment. Persuade them that II
something isn't done an alien ism
will dominate the nation. Keep
feeding them a steady stream OF
propaganda to convince them that
these rorrid radicals are either just
about to strike or have made such
headway that the fruit will fall in
their lap without much further ef-
fort.
Then bring together group OF
patriots who arc willing to uphold
the Constitution" by taking up arms
TO crush this alien menace. En-
phasize that it takes force to meet
force.
Stress the fact that you have
onlv the loftieSt and most patrl-
otto of motives.
And then watch your time and
wait for some storm cloud that
will enable you to strike.
That, roughly, is the program
as the congressional investigators
drew it out of Dudley P. Gilbert
and James Erwin Campbell.
Gilbert and Campbell never got
a great way with their scheme, 10
he sure. Gilbert admitted that
Campbell and his mailing list OF
40 influential people" were all thai
was left of Gilbert's original gran
diose idea for nationwide organ
ization of 100000 American Ma
, tionalists.'
He said efforts to raise money

There must be somewhere in
Geneva. among the fine marble
buildings that house the physical
plant of the League of Nations,
a large filing case to which the ap-
peal of King zog of Albania has
recently been consigned.
King zogs letter to Secretary
General Avenol OF the League was
request that the facts of the con-
quest of Albania be called to the
attention of League members, with
a request that they refrain from
recognizing this conquest achieved
by blood and iron" and brought
about "by AL modern means a state
of Al 10000 has at its disposal
when it plans an act of aggres-
sion"
In that same file would be nu-
mreuoS documents from Halle Sell
AISLE, the King Of Kings of AbyS-
sinia, family protesting from his
English retreat, the occupation by
italian troops of his remote African
domain. And beside it somewhere
must be the files from China couch
ed in the polite and gentle Ian
guage of the Chinese diplomat, ask
ing the League to do something
about the invasion of China.
The file grows apace, wherever
It is, yet of course these documents
are doomed TO no better fate than
to yellow and fade. and await the
attention of the historians of the
future.
These shades of kings and gov
ernors are appealing to the ghost
of a League, and there is strange
unreslity about the whole pro-
cedure
The League still exists, thirty-or-
so members still adhere TO 1t and
maintain the marble buildings and
the thinning secretarial staff that
still gees through the motions ol
conducting a going concern.

self not being in funds oil late,
The idea of sending out all the
scare stories about the leftist piot'
said Gilbert. was to prepare people
for the trouble. No, he didn't FAVOR
a private army; what ne mao III
mind was getting people IN tne
frame of mind so that they would
"offer manpower' to the police the
army, and so on when the req up
rising took place.
Much the same sort OF idea was
in Campbell's mind, as reVealeo III
his testimony. The U. S. army he
felt, would be the ultimate SalVa-
ton of the government. 1t would
have to act when the reds went a
little farther, and would prooaoiy
have to seize power in the different
states, turning things back to the
civil authorities only when the last
vestiges of radicalism had been
stamped out.
All of this boils down to httic
enough. John Hamilton told the
committee that he has a nut lille
for crank letters about subVersiVe
activities, and that CampbellS Ia
nous letter to him belonged IN II.
The campaign of Gilbert Camp
bell ct al, did succeed in one thing:
it planted some damaging anti
Semitic propaganda all around the
country, and the echoes Of that pro-
paganda will still be going ABOUT
long after this specific campaign
has been forgotten.

no other locomotive salesman had

about a new engine that his COM

MEMORIAL TRAGEDIES

Death is word to most people, and
because it is nothing more than that
most of the time, it becomes actuality
for many For hundreds it materialized
on Memorial Day-a day of tribute to
the soldier dead of the nation = into
something real terrifying and tragic 1t
became more than a word, not because
of the days significance, but because of
the carelessness of those who celebrated
the holiday. On highways, in rivers, on
picnic grounds and in the air, death took
its toll.
On the next holiday, when a festive
spirit gains the upper hand, let us all
pause Just a minute to remember that
death is not just word-that it is some
thing we can avoid by being careful.

SECOND AMERICAN CITY
Riverside Press)


We have become accustomed to think
of New York as the first American city,
Chicago the second, at least in size
But now we shall have to be more spe-
cific, and say North American city or
"city of the United States"
For Buenos Aires, the beautiful capita
city of Argentina, is now the second city
of the Western Hemisphere. Its popula-
tion, which has had a phenomenal
growth in recent years is now 3,304,000
as compared with Chicago's 3,258,444
The two cities are almost the same size
geographically since BuenOs Aires in
creased the federal district which marks
the city as our own District of Colum-
bia bounds Washington. During the past
eight years, Buenos Aires has grown
in population by 100000 while the whole
state of Illinois was increasing only
100000.
All this is simply visible evidence Of
the great forward strides that are being
made in the more progressive countries
of South America, destined to be great
empires within this century.
