Pair

NEW YORK, aug 1 (UP) - A
female fan from Flatbush wandered
into Yankee Stadium Sunday and
had the time of her life yelling
such insults as these at the great
Yankees:
Hit it over Di Maggio's head!"
Watch that Flash Gordon gum
it up!"
Look at those Yankee buns
they couldn't hit it past the
pitcher!"
knock that Red Ruffing out of
therel"
She yelled so loud it seemed ev-
erybody in the park could hear her
but the rest of the crowd of 1892
settled back with complete conf
dence that the Yankees would muir
der the loWly Browns and make the
lady from Flatbush sneak out OF
the premises. But the gal from
Brooklyn got louder and louder. AT
the finish she was positively rauc-
Gus with her taunts. And not a
Yankee fan could say a word to
shut her up.
You see, the Browns, who started
the day in last place, played like
champions and hung it on the
Yankees twice, 62 and SO. The
Yanks. who had scored three sue
cessive shutouts and had lost twice
in their last II starts. did one OF
those inexplicable nosedives for
which there's no rhyme or reason.
FANS TAKE BEATING
1t was a cruel sight for Yankee
fans. They sat for the better part
of Az hours waiting for the Bronx
Bombers to explode but nothing
ever happened. Johnny Niggeling's
knuckle ball baffled the Yanks in
the opener. After allowing four hits,
including Charlie Keller's 9th
homer, in the first three innings,
Niggeling held the Yanks hitless
the rest of the route, retiring l9
men in order. Bob Harris improved
on this performance in the night
cap, allowing only two hits and re-
tiring l9 consecutive batters after
Sturm led off with a double to
start the Yankee first.
1t was the first time since Sept.
Is, 1910 that the Yanks lost a dou-
bleheader. The Browns did it that
day, too, with Niggeling and Auker
in the box. Harris shutout was the
second for the Yanks this season,
Mickey Harris of the Red Sox reg
istering the other one. Joe Di Mag
gio was held hitless in both games,
ending his new streak at 16
straight games. 1t was the first time
since April 90 that DiMag has been
blanked in two straight games. The
Yanks six hits in the two games
were a new low for them. Red Ruff
fing's loss in the opener was his
first since May Ia, and broke his
game winning streak.

RICHARDS FELLOWS

But most of Richard Roe's fellow work
men, not having his intestinal fortitude
in the defense Of their beliefs, will not go
as far as he went. They will not stop
paying dues. They value their jobs, and
their families livelihoods, too greatly. SO
they go on paying dues, but merely re-
fran from taking an active hand in union
affairs on the theory that they can't do
any good there, anyway. The only ones
who remain active in the unions are the
partisans of the dictators who run them.
Representatives of labor? They are
not Nevertheless, they WELD all the pow
er of the millions under them, for they
are able to dictate to those millions they
are able to use those millions to enforce
their edicts against industry, against the
government, against society as a whole.
With power like that concentrated in
the hands of few unscrupulous men
men who have already proved themselves
without scruple-hoW can anyone say that
it will end short of a political and social
upheaval toppling the whole framework
of democracy into ruin? When major
segment of the nations population is &c
onomically enslaved, as union racketeers
are trying to enslave union members, how
can the rest of the nation remain free?
When man is not free to say Il no
longer want to belong to this organlZa-
ton he has no more freedom When a
nation allows the sort of dictatorship
that permits such oppression of its great
est majority of citizens, the nation is on
the road to being no longer free.
Let Us stop looking to Germany, or to
Russia, or to the principles of a political
leader we do not like, for threat of die
tatorship. We have the makings right here
at home of dictatorship as bad as any
existing in the world today

After all, person or a people
must stand for something. The
thing that distinguishes a person
or a people from the vegetable
kingdom is having principles. Hav-
ing principles, it is right to avow
them openly, to stand upon them,
and to work for their survival and
extension. To do that is life: to
fall to do that is only a form of
death.
President Roosevelt was on the
side of life when he met Churchill
at sea and laid down eight princi-
pies on which not only the British
and American peoples, but uncount-
ed million of peoples all over the
world Including many in Germany,
Italy and JAPAN agree. There was
nothing new, nothing Americans
have not long believed nothing not
directly implied in the Fourteen
Points enunciated by President Will
son Jan. 8, 1918.
Here is no new step, then, but
simply reaffirmation of principles
as old as the American people.
There will be disagreement on how
Tar the United States ought to 60
in backing them up. There can be
no disagreement that the moral and
material force of the United States,
SO far as it decides to make it felt,
must be exercised along these lines.
The circumstances under which
Wilson pronounced the Fourteen

clples of a peace in which the Unit
