Reactions to Cartoon
On Aircraft Workers Strike.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
Your cartoon in Mondays Star was
quite fine. You said in picture what
many OF us think. Unfortunately, it
takes many pictures to get story over to
some of Us. Many mothers are kissing
their sons as they leave for camp. You
know such mothers feeling when she
puts on this brave act. Picture her as
the boy goes out the gate and she
glances back to see the picket on parade
with his Unfair" sign. The boy gets a
dollar day; what does the picket get2
H. A. HOLLINS.
To the Editor of The Star:
Your paper always has been fair and
impartial on public issues, but your car
toon on the Vultee aircraft strike was an
injustice to thousands of unfortunate
50-cents-an-hour airplane mechanics.

What we have been saying in
cast you haven't caught on is that
Harry whitley" Kaunfer is the
tops in sports announcing in New
England. He grew up in the jew
ish environment of the famous
West End of Boston and had the
normal interests of newsboy in
shouting his wares above wind and
rain and crowd.
His first attempt at really
shouting it out was in a basketball
game many years ago, sans micro
phones-an item which he looked
upon with disdain for many years
He-Whitey of the huge lungs
didn't need any help to make him
self thoroughly heard.
The sports minded gentry who
heard him in the West End Set
Element House soon picked him
up for his now professional job.
Today, Whitley enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the fourth man in
every ring, the man who knows
the lineup at every sports event
and makes no secret of it.
Days find him on the circulation
staff of the Boston Traveller and
evenings find him as you might
expect at some ringside. To name
the celebrities whom he has in

a volume. Suffice it to ay, he
knows them all!
So, Greater BOStOn's model of
the late Joe Humphreys, earns an
ywhere from fifteen dollars to
forty bucks a night. A man who
aSSimiIated the rudimentS of his
calling (nO pun) and made good
at it.
We asked Whitley how he man
aged to keep his voice in such
perfect shape. Here this ITO pound

WISDOM
of the
TAIN
By MORRIS KRAMER
The Spiritual
Power of Faith

mere was once a man who
pledged his dearest faith to a fair
maid, beautiful and true. For a
time all passed pleasantly, and the
fair maid lived in happiness. But
then the man was called from her
side and he left her; long she wait
ed, but he did not return. Friends
pitied her and rivals Knocked her:
tauntingly they pointed at her,
and said, HE has left thee; he will
never come back" The fair maid
secluded herself in her home and
read in secret the letters which
her lover had written to her, the
letters in which he promised to
be ever faithful, ever true. Weep
ing she read them, for they
brought comfort to her heart; she
dried her tears and doubted not.
A joyous day dawned for her;
the man she loved returned, and
when he learned that others had
doubted and asked her how she
had preserved her faith, she
showed his letters to him, declar-
ing her eternal trust.
Israel, in misery and captivity,
was Knocked by the nations; her
hopes of redemption were made
laughing-stOck; her sages scOffed
at; her holy men derided. Into
her synagOgueS, into her schools
went Israel; she read the letters
which her God had written, and
believed in the holy promises
which they contained.
God will in time redeem her;
and when He says:
"HOW could you alone be faith
full of all these hooking nations ?"
She will point to the law and
answer:
"Had not Thy law been my de-
light, should long since have per-
ished in my affIictiOn."
This sentence explains the rea-
son for the survival of the Jew
ish race despite the most horrible
persecution since the deportation
of the people of Assyria and later
to Babylon when Palestine, their
homeland was captured.
Spiritual faith in the eternal
principles of Gods ethical code is
more powerful and enduring than
material might, and long after the
dictatOrS who rob and murder in
nOcent people for their own nefar-
iOus purposes have themselves
been destroyed, the descendants
of their apparent weak and de-
fenseIeSS victims of the Jewish
race will survive and prosper.
The records of history are in
dubitable evidence of this fact and
time will again prove the truth of
this rock-ribbed principle of Gods
Justice and His memorable Law of
Compensation.

Surging Newark Club
Now Flag Threat
In Int. League
By the Associated Press.


Warning has been sounded several
times this season that the Newark
Bears might become a serious
threat to the safety of the Inter-
national League leaders. Now It
begins to look as though their big
push had begun in earnest.
Up to last week the Bears were
hanging around the 500 mark and
having some trouble keeping fourth
place out Of the Montreal Royals
grasp. But starting with the second
game Of last Sundays doubleheader,
which put them even 500, they
have won of their last 8 games
and taken q secure hold on third
place. The Baltimore Orioles, losing
about as fast as the Bears were
winning, now have slipped down to
be threatened by the Royals.
Newark's biggest gain was regis
tered yesterday at the expense Of
the league-leading Rochester Red
Wings, the Bears winning both
games, 1912 and 80. And at the
same time the second-place Jersey
Giants lost twice to Montreal, 80
and So. As result the Bears
now are only 5la games out of first
place and Is games away from
second.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Did
you know?
Hal Chase, the old time New York
Yankee who still is rated as the
greatest stylist baseball has pro-
duced at first base, broke in as a
left-handed second sacker.
He was converted into a first base
man because his college coach
couldn't break him of the habit of
making one-hand catches.
1t was at the University Of Santa
Clara in 1898. Joe Corbett, famous
pitcher of the Baltimore Orioles Of
1896-97, was the coach. On his
first day at the school, Corbett noted
the southpaw second sacker, slender
and quick as a cat. The name was
Hal Chase.
He made seemingly impossible
stops; covered more ground than
circus tent. AS practice wore on,
one fact impressed itself on Corbett's
mind. His second baseman acted
as If he had only one hand. Ground
balls, loopers, shoestringers and pegs
from the catcher all were speared
with one hand.
At first Corbett was Mortified, then
amazed. As big Lacquer he con-
sidered it nothing short of sacrilege
for player to use anything but
two hands to field a ball. He tried
to break Chase of the habit. Chase
wouldn't break. He couldn't. He
was a fancy Dan without meaning
to be. This went on for week.
In despair, Corbett switched his
man over to (lrst base, theorizing:
Anybody as agile as that should be
able to gobble up everything thrown
at him."
The rest is history. Chase's praises
still are sung. Since his time every
first sacker of above average fielding
skill has been compared to him and
suffered by the comparison.
His versatility was practically un-
limited. In 1903, before the Majors
beckoned, he was playing with
San Jose semipro team at Salinas,
Calf. The catcher failed to show
