ALL SOFT-BALL
MANAGERS AND
PLAYERS NOTICE

Due to the fact that so poor a
return has been received in an
swer to the call for entries for the
coming Softball League an extern
sion has been allowed for all
teams who have not yet sent in
their fees. Players will be accept
ed until the 18th as will all fees
that have been late. In no case
shall any manager expect to have
any players placed on the lists
after the dead-line date has
passed.
All managers are warned that
they will only be permitted to
place the names of twenty men on
their list. Any and all names over
the allotted number will be eli
minated from the lists.
Managers are warned to be
very careful that all men whose
names are placed on the lists have
previously filled out the Associa-
tion injury form, Any member of
any team who has not filed form
by the date of the first game will
be declared ineligible to compete
for the entire season. Too much
freedom was allowed last season
and it only caused trouble for all
concerned so we are trying to eli
inmate this fault this year.
Each manager should send his
name and correct address to the
Secretary as soon as he assumes
office so that all team mails will
be sent to the right persons.

SAXON FREEDOM

Now once again war is ravag-
ing the plains and hills OF Eurc,'e.
But if war must come to Europe,
if the ultimate struggle for power
it at hand, if it is hopeless to be-
lieve chat there is no other way
from the disaster, let us ask God
to watch over US Saxons.
Remember, Saxon youth of
America, let US not aid those
who have helped subjugate the
German Saxons Of Transylvania.
The songs of hatred and the
drums of war will perhaps rent
the air of our America lin fact,
is it not already beginnins) in
an endeavor to propagandize the
thoughts of us who will be called
upon to make the supreme sacri-
fee. Remember, Saxon youth, BY
aiding those who will brow
beat the German race of Europe,
you will seal the doom OF your
own Saxon blood in Pennsylvania.
Let us not forget what we are
and who we are in this world of
turmoil. Let US think clearly and
Preserve our decisions until the
static of propaganda has cleared
from the air.
Let us face reality, Saxons.
Your torn and mangled body lv-
ing on the battlehelds of Europe,
protecting someone's dollars, will
not aid your family and children
here at home. But your pleading
body will aid those who have
asked you to die for them by plac-
ing in their handbook another dol
lars add to the large sums which
they already have and which are
dripping with the life blood OF
thousands of young lives. So,
Saxons, part of your heritage is
to safeguard the peace of our
America. and to allow it to grow
not through war but through con-
tended peace.
| SO many of US have come to
believe that the Saxon race is a
|dying race But with all my heart
say that is is not dying and it
shall not die. The Saxon race,
faith and religion must live on
land on forever gracing the world
with its valor, its industry, and
Igiving to the world the results of
its achievements. Saxon youth of
America, the ful6llment of the
above rests with you and I. I
know and you know that we can
do it, and we can begin now by
giving our support 10000 to our
local Saxon organizations, our
singing groups, our Central Ver-
band, and our social activities.
And from their we can carry on.
|. In my humble way, Saxons, let
me say that your heritage is the
preservation of the Saxon Spirit,
and by the Saxon Spirit | mean
everything for which the Saxons
stand and for which they are
fighting for today, e. l., Freedom,
Equality, Peace, Decency, and the
preservation of Saxons as Sax
ons.
| We Saxons will be what we
make of ourselves. We must con-
vince ourselves and the world
that our Saxon blood is more ex-
elusive than any other in the
world, and that it must be kept
ISO.

By Albert w. Nemenz
Saxon Youth of America, what
is your Heritage?

is your f1eTltdSe!
| wonder what significance
the words "obligation to our her
ltage' have to our Saxon youth
of America. How many of us
have ever thought of these words
that are SO vital in many ways not
only to we younger Saxons but
to every Saxon gracing the face
| of the earth.
Hundreds of years ago from
the beautiful plains, hills and
forests of Germania, there migra-
ted a healthy, stalwart and brave
people. They had been given land
in the dense forests of Transyl-
vania in Southeastern Europe in
order that they cultivate it for
their own use. Those people were
our Saxons. In accepting the ter
ritory they also accepted the res
possibility of protecting it, and
at that time it constituted the
Eastern outpost of civilization in
Europe. from the heather hordes
OF the near east. This they did un-
flinchingly Throughout the centur-
les, giving their all, their blood,
their very lives to the world.
But, Saxons. their contribu-
ton and sacrifice to civilization
and christianity was forgotten by
the world, and the curse of inter-
national politics sold them down
the rlver' many times to national
enslavement. Ours has been a
trampled race, receiving always
the frontal attack of war, the
creeping, insidious attack of
Iplagues. and the stark reality of
starvation. And these misfortunes
were not brought upon us by our
selves, but by those interesets in
the world who coveted our land
land who in 1913 finally placed us
in bondage to a people whose
ideas of nationality. religion, and
principale were 100 per cent diff
ferent from ours.
| The plight of the Saxons in
| Roumania until resently was pic
tured in my article of several
IweekS ago. "'E .'| ,..- -., .. .
| Let me say, Saxons, that the
| Roumanian government until a
bout year ago has been taken
from the Saxons the rights that
had been won by great hardship
Through the centuries.
The SaXOns were a minority
too small to voice their rights af-
tier the fall of the German Empire
lin 1918; a minority who asked for
nothing but square deal that
Iwould embrace freedom of enter
Iprise, equality with the rest OF
1.-THE nation in finacial dealings, ,and
la voice in local and national
government. The Saxons were
Idenied the freedom of enterprise
and equality they desired, a desire
(which any people anywhere
lwould have. Much was taken
from them and nothing given to
Them. The roads, schools and
churches of Pennsylvania was al
lowed to deteriorate while the
Saxons were compelled to contri-
butte much to the many Golfers OF
the government. Homesteads OF
the Saxons were taken from them
their faith and their education
was threatened with extinction.
| The governments may trample
the Saxons beneath their heel
they may drain the life blood
from many Saxons or perhaps
starve them economically. but
they cannot and shall not cxtin
guish the determined and relent
less spirit of the Saxons; a spirit
that withstood brutal bunishmer'
through the centuries; spirit
that gave much to the word bu
received nothing in return.
