Critics Claim Dick Hern to
Become Another Hudson
Big Right Hander
Sets Loop Record
For Strikeouts
BY JERRY BR0NDFfELD
NEA Service staff Correspondent

Down in the Florida State league
Ia little Glass d circuit which has
been in existence only five years
they are calling Dick Hearn of St
Augustine another Sid Hudson.
Some doubt that Hearr ever
win be as good an all-around pitch
er as Huds~a, but a look al the
record would indicate as much Tor
the right-hander who stands 6-212
and weighs 1856.
Hudson jumped from the San
ford club of the same loop to the
Washington Senators, where he has
been one of the surprise packages
of the season, and certainly one OF
the finest pitching prospects Clark
Griffith has picked up in years.
Hearn's record is even better than
that of Hudson, who won "a with
a first place club, famed 1872 and
compiled an earned run average
of ] 70.
HAS FAMED AS MANY
AS Is IN ONE GAME
HeaIn, who was signed by st.
Augustine as a free agent this
year, is a good bet to win At least
rs this season with third place
club. He has averaged 10 strikeouts
a game. tanning as high as l8 In
a single contest.
He already has gone well beyond
300 strikeouts for the season, which
makes the old league mark of 233
look positively anemic.
He has an earned-run average
that bids to be the lowest Of any
pitcher in organized baseball for
1910, mark of 173. Seven OF his
victories have been shut-outs.
A Chicago product, the lanky
highlander first made baseball
headlines by hurting a no-hit. no.
run game for El Dorado. Ark, OF the
Cotton States league in 1888.
He is %, married and has one son.
HAS PLENTY OF SPEED
AND CORKING DROP
He's no Bob Feller but he gets
plenty of smoke into his fast one
and critics claim he has one of the
best overland drops ever seen in
the minors. He can also throw
with SAielrm delivery which
gives him pretty fair complement
of weapons.
His only failing to date has been
tendency toward wildness at times
but his streaks don't come often
enough to preclude cure.
Like Hudson, he works easily
and coolly. He doesn't get ratified
with men on base
He may not make the big jump
from Glass d to the majors this
coming spring but Hearn very ap-
parently has the necessary qualifi-
cations for stardom.

The Pacific Coast League entered
its final week of play today with
two things as sure as death and
taxes: Seattle has the champion
ship and Portland the cellar title.
In between there remained only the
contest to see whether Sacra..
mentO or San Diego would wind
up in fourth place and thus join
the Rainiers, Los Angeles and
Oakland in the Shaughnessy play
off. There was mathematical
chance that the Acorns would drop
from third to fifth place, but few
conceded the second place Angels
could take seven games in a row
from the Oaks.
Only two games are on tonight's
schedule--Oakland at Los Angeles
and Seattle at San Diego. Tomor-
row night Hollywood goes into ac-
ton against the Solons at Sacra-
mento-playing double header Fri
day night, and San Francisco en-
tertains Portland. playing two games
to open the series.
Los Angeles handed Hollywood
twin FASTING last night, 10 to 3,
and to l. Ray Prim turned in his
18th pitching victory of the season
in the opener, holding the Twinks
well in hand after a two-run out
burst in the first. First baseman
Gray added the third run with
homer in the seventh. Lou Stringer
and Ripper Collins each drove in
three runs for the Angels off Hiram
Bithorn and Fred Gay, Collins
whacking a homer and a single
and Stringer getting four success
sive singles.
In the nightcap, Fay Thomas
limited the Stars to five hits while
Lou Novikoff was getting three in
four trips, Eddie Mayo was hitting
two out of three and Rookie Strada
was clouting a home run off Alex
Mustaikas and Lou lost. The All
gels took the series, seven games
to two.
San Francisco and Oakland di-
vided, the Acorns winning the open
er, II to 3 and the O'Doul O'Seals
the nightcap, to 8. Five successive
hits, including triple and a dou-
BILE, sent AL Epperly to the showers
before he could get man out in
the first inning of the opener. Lar

Three AMERICANS
keep $1,000, 1000
EACH ABOVE TAXES

The bureau of internal revenue re
ports that the three persons who re
ported for 1888 net incomes over S..
100000, had a total net income of
$21, 100000, upon which they paid in
federal income taxes and surfaces
only $6,700,000, or 30.5%, which was a
smaller percent on the average than
that paid by all persons with incomes
over 100000.
These three Americans" had left
an average of $5,O46,666 after paying
all direct taxes = federal, state and
local.
Most of their income was from prop
erty.
Each of these Americans" in addi-
ton to keeping their property worth
hundreds of millions, kept income for
that year, above taxes which would
pay, at $21 month, the wages of
20,026 really American boys con-
scripted, as the National City Bank
states:
ITO defend our system of private
Income tax rates have since been
raised only slightly.
In 1888, the 591,780 persons report
ing net incomes over $4,000 had
total net income of 775,000, 900, upon
which they paid in federal income
axes and surfaces only $701 500, 900,
Or 10.4@s.
They paid an average income tax of
51,186, and had left an average of
S10,262.
Total net income of persons getting
over $4,000 in 1910, will be at least
4, 250, 100000 more than in 1888, and
hey should pay at least $4,000, 100000
more income taxes, while profits,
ents and interest should be reduced

ExPL0ITERS AND
PROFITEERS CONTROL
HAPHAzARD DEFENSE

Jonathan Mitchell, in his article in
the New Republic august 26th) "Is
Our Defense Lagging?" says:
with the possible exception of the
National Recovery Administration, the
National Defense Advisory Commits
sion represents the greatest concen-
tration of big business influence ever
seen in Washington. The N.D.A c. 8
corps of dollar-a-year men resembles
nothing so much as the annual con-
vention of the National Manufactur-
ers Association. Mr.. Baruch's War
Industries Board of 1878 was by
no means so completely given over
to big business"
The New York Times, in an edi-
torial august 12th) planning for
Defense" calls for commission to
plan defense, asserting: aided by
impromptu conferences with cabinet
or with the Chief of Staff
of the Army, or the Chief of Staff
of the Navy, or with other officials,
the President is forced to meet de-
tense problems haphazardly as they
arise"
1t is criminal to conscript millions
Of American boys at $21 month, to
atone with their lives for "haphaz-
ard" "impromptu" defense controlled

lion to get third term, a President

'Seagoing Russian
Prince lrked by
American Customs

NEW YORK OPP - Newest tale
along the waterfront is that OF a Rus
sian prince who tried to treat the
Yugoslavian crew of his yacht like
so many serfs, and got told off by a
U. S. marshal
Last April the crew was signed on
for year at Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia
after Prince Djerdijaze had decided
that the American climate would be
permanently more agreeable than the
tempestuous European weather. When
the 250-ton yacht, the Marie Anna,
arrived at Charleston, S. c., the sea
men asked for half of their IL weeks
wages, in accordance with U. S. law.
The skipper of His Royal Highness'
yacht gave the men SIS each instead
of the SIS due and told them to wait.
Upon arrival in New York, the sailors
protested to the Yugoslavian consul, a
step that irritated the prince no end
Just to show who was boss, he
added z hours week to the 108-hour
working schedule of the seamen and
the 126-hour stint for the cook. The
six ringleaders in the mutinous action
were confined to their quarters on a
diet consisting chiefly of bread and
tea. When they agreed to sign pa
per stating that they had broken their
contract, they were allowed to leave |
the Marie Anna.
From the boat the sailors went to |
the law firm of Melton, Lebovici &
Arkin, where they learned that the
phony statement could be invalidated
and action started to collect the rest
of their pay plus passage to Yugo-
slavia. Total amount was S6,253. A
libel for this sum was given to Deputy
U. S. Marshal John Dougherty, soft
spoken man Of great underlying firm
ness.
Dougherty went to Glen Cove, Long
Island, where the Marie Anna was
noored at the New York Yacht Club
On board was Prince Djerdijaze, de-
scribed later by the marshal as six
'eet tall, about 40 years old, and zone

C0NSCRIPTI0N BILL
is next STEP TO
TOTALITARIANISM

The New York Times-Wall Street
bill to conscript men is the next step
to a totalitarian government here, for
the benefit of property owners, and
10000 people get about one third of
all dividends.
The big dividend receivers and their
stooges, are boosting the CONSUMPTION
of men-not really for the army, or
defense, but to get big cheap labor
force
Walter Lippmann, reactionary col
umnist, in his article July 9th,
stated:
Under modern conditions as they
apply to this country, the number of
men needed behind the lines is about
25 to l as compared with the number
who can or should actually be used
in the fighting services. The con-
of the new Navy and of the
new air force and of the equipment
for an Army of a million men is
industrial operation, and
would be worse than use
less if it were not organized with the
cellar purpose of carrying out this in
dustrial operation.

Consumption Helped
Defeat Democrats
In 1913 and 1920

David Lawrence, publisher "The
United States News, says august
30th):
"What were the underlying reasons
for the 1918 and 1920 verdicts? My
own conclusion forced reluctantly
upon me by the events of those days,
in which l was writing in direct con-
tact with the day by day occurrences
inside and outside of government:
Was that the American people re-
scented the draft law and participation
in the European war.
"The idea of forced draft is abb
horrent because it comedies the fall
ure of the patriotic appeal.
"Thats why, in the middle Of war,
with an American army overseas and
with delicate peace negotiations i'll
the balance, the American people
voted the democratic party out, and
the republican party into both houses
of congress. ;. This is the way Of
democracy.
mot many weeks ago, the British
democracy did the same thing. Even
in the midst Of crucial battle, they
voted Chamberlain out and Churchill

that war 10000 American soldiers
were killed or had died. We got in
