WILL REPRESENT INSTITUTE AT FALL CONf ERENCE -and the entertain Tk the R S ^ arty take plače- at Kossmore Villa on the 29th Aa gust! H; Miss Rose Jalovec of 1361 Giddings toad has.been appoint- ed by the Second Workers Insti¬ tute as Chairman, to represent them at the Fali Conference of the Y. W. C. A. Industrial De¬ partment. She recently returned from a two week stay in Andrew's Insti¬ tute in Willoughby, Ohio, where she studied the economic and xn- dustrial conditions of the world in preparation for her work at the conference. FROM NEW YORK As a result of the monumental work done at the Ljubljana Uni- versity by Dr. Carl H. Connell, the Research Council of the Rockefeller Foundation has given two scholarships for a year to two Slovenes connected with the Zoological Institute connected with the Slovene university. Traveling Scholarship in the U.S. The two Slovenes who have been honored by the scholarships are Dr. Roman Kenk and Božo S‘kerlj both of the Zoological In¬ stitute of the University of Ljub¬ ljana. Dr. Roman Kenk is the assistant professor of Zoology where Dr. Carl Connell did his great work. The scholarship given Dr. Kenk will be a travel¬ ing scholarship in the United States‘vvith Virginia University as the plače where he will present his research work. The Jugoslav government recognizing the im- portance of the scholarship has given Dr. Kenk a year’s leave of absence to make the scholarship possible. Dr. Božo Škerlj, the other Slo¬ vene who has been given the scholarship by the Rockefeller Institute is an anthropologist and will study at Oslo and Berlin. Original Work by American Attention to the studies and the talent of the Slovene scien- tists has been drawn by the mon¬ umental work which Dr. Carl H. Connell has done at the Ljublja¬ na University under the djrection of the professor of zoology, Dr. Jovan Hadžija. Dr. ConnelFs experiments and research con- sisted in finding and studying of the development of the nervous system of the fresh water Hydra. The experiments were success- fully completed thru the help of selective coloration vvhich iias been developed at the Univer- sity. The Rockefeller Institute was so impressed by the work of Dr. Carl H. Connell that it extended his scholarship for unother year at the Kaiser-Wil- helm Institute in Berlin and gave the two Slovenes scholarships so t'hat the zoological department can be increased in efficiency by additional study of the two pro- fessors. The scholarships are doemed important for it establishes the work of the Slovene University in Europe as well as the United States for there is always a great deal of glory connected with the granting of such an honor. PLAYGRjOUND ACTIVITIES PUT SPOTLIGHT ON CZECHS Costumes and Musič to Be Fea- tures of Week The "tour” of selected foreign nations being ( made by the chil¬ dren on the 37 municipal play- grounds this summer is drawing to a close. This weetk, the 7th week, Czechoslovakia will be the center of interest to ali the kid¬ dies. The playgrounds’ pro- grams will revolve about the cus- toms, lore, mušic and costumes of this country. During the week children will hear Czechoslovakian stories in- cluding such folks tales as “Long- shanks, Girth and Keen,” “The Golden Godmother” and “The Rose Bud.” The children will also be taught folk dances and singing games which will include “Briar Rosebud,” ”Louby Lou” and “The Little Nut Tree.” At the “Playground Theatres” special programs of mušic, dram- atics and singing will be present- ed Friday evening, which will mark the climax of the stopover in Czechoslovakia. Puppet shows, stories, Czechoslovakian games and dances will be featured. Chil¬ dren will also exhibit Czechoslo¬ vakian bonnets, aprons, vests, gay colored beads, gift and shrine boxes made of star.ched paper, quaint dolls painted or dressed in native costumes to compare with the actual dolls’ children in Czechhslovakia have on their play centers. Ali of these art objects will be made under the instruction of the handcraft supervisors during the handcraft hour which is held on the playspots weefkly. Other ac- tivities taught on Cleveland play grounds include mušic, artcraft, games, dramatic presentations, story telling, sand modeling, ma- gic, novel stunts, gymnastics singing and airplane building. The evening of August 25 tht annual city-wide festival will be held in the Cleveland Stadium. REGARDS FRpM BLED AND ZAGREB s 0o, aVe yo u heard the latest!

She will also spend a few days on the farm of one of her school chums. Starting with a solemn church ceremony in the morning and ending with a banquet in the eve¬ ning the St. Mary’s parish in Collinwood will have thoroughly celebrated the 25th anniversary of its founding by Rev. Marko Pakiž. The celebration will take plače next Sunday, August 1 6. While the beginning -vVill be Solemn high mass at 10:00 a. m. the celebration will con -( tinue with a concert of song by the church choir in the' afternoon at 2 p. m. at the Holmes avenue National Home. The Slovene Home will be the scene for the banquet which will be held in the evening follovved by the dance so that everyone, young and old will have an opportunity of thoroughly enjoying themsel- ves for the 25th anniversary of the founding of St. Mary’s parish in Collinwood. Founders Honored The twenty-fifth anniversary will also be a special day in which the pioneers or the original founders of the parish will be es- pecially honored in connection vvith the celebration. Plans are said to include a badge which the pioneers of the parish will be allowed to wear on the occasion, to show the distinction they have merited in doing the hard ground work in establishing the parish and continued work on their part to make it reach the position it holds today. For Old and Young At the banquet which will be held in the evening there will be some speakers and many distin- guished guests both of the city as well as from out-of-town. The banquet in the upper hali will be followed by a dance in the lower hali of the Slovene National Home on Holmes avenue. The parish has been establish- ed by Rev. Marko Pakiž in 1905, who with the settlers in the far east end of the city has been en- terprising enough to start the par¬ ish and to build the church. His successor Rev. Andrew Smrekar, even now refered to as the loved pastor, succeeded in solidifiying the parish. Rev. Paul Hribar, nephew of the present pastor built the school and provided many needed innovations which were not completed as yet when he was suddenly killed by a train at the Crossing on Recher avenue. New School and Church During the time in which Rev. Joseph Skur was at the head, land was acquired and improve- ments were made which filled everyone vvith pride and the ad- vances made. It was during the administration of the present pas¬ tor Rev. Vitus Hribar and his as¬ sistants Rev. Milan Sla j e and GeorgeTrlovanec that the crown- ing bit of vvork was actually ac- tomplished. The church was re- novated and the present modem school building was built. It was also during his administration that the splendid home was built. The pastor and the people of St. Mary’s in Collinvvood have a justified pride in their accom- In less than a month’s time the regular convention of the S.D.Z. fraternal organization vvith head- quarters in Cleveland will have begun its vvork at the Slovene Workingmen’s Home on Water- loo road at vvhich more than 90 persons will he piresent - to dis- cuss the business vvhich the or¬ ganization meets during the in- tervening time. Lodges from) Lorain, Bairber- ton, Canton, Girard, Cleveland, Warren, Geneva vvill be present at the convention. The number vvill include about 25 American born Slovenes vvho vvill be at the convention in greater numbel* than ever before. It is expected that they vvill have some inter- esting things to propose. With such a large block of people rep- resenting their own ideas, there vvill undoubtedly be some very interesting developments. At the present time there is nothing of importance that vvill be discussed at the meeting. The regular business of revision of by-laws vvhich must be revised as time goes on and the proposi- tions vvhich are alvvays discussed vvill occupy the greater part of the convention. “CODP” GROUP Local Business Man Points Out Benefits cf Co-operation OFFICERS ELECTED Organization Only Solution for Competition With Other Organizations SWIMMING STAR Mr. Walter Kalan of 1007 E. 74th Street participated in a five mile svvim from the U. S. coast guard pier to the five-mile crib vvith a group of five friends, last Wednesday, August 5th. Two rovvboats, vvithout iriter- fering vvith the course, accom- panied the five and later a coast guard speed boat vvas sent out as the svvimmers slightly v.eered from their course. The quintet reached their goal vvithout difficulty and later vvhen questioned by the Nevvs reporter informed him that they enjoyed the svvim and that the plans vvere not made for a race but “just for fun”. NEVVBURGH BAND TO HOLD PICNIC SUNDAY Not even one year has passed since the boy’s band \in New- burgh has been organized from fresh recruits, busy of the com- munity and they are ready to make their initial appearance next Sunday vvhen the community vvill celebrate its name day. The band on that occasion vvill appear for the first time in marching order playing some of the martial strains for the grand parade vvhich vvill be the order for the celebration. In the afternoon the band vvill have its first picnic in an effort to raise enough money to buy uniforms vvhich are eagerly avvaited for by ali the youthful members. The picnic vvill be held at the picnic grounds of St. Lawrence’s Church more popularly knovvn as Maple Gardens. It vvill be held Sunday afternoon, August 16, 1931. plishments and the Sunday of August 1 6 vvill see them’ celebra- ting the event for vvhich they have been vvaiting—the 25 ai niversary. Thirty-two local grocerists un¬ der the head of Mr. Karl Mra¬ mor have established an organi¬ zation vvhich vvill aim to give mutual help to the business men and to the patrons of the local Stores. The organization meet¬ ing vvas held last Tuesday eve¬ ning at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair avenue. Co-operation and co-operative buying vvas lihe incentive vvith vvhich the local merchants have banded in order to give better Service to the community and to be able in. organization to ad- vertise their products vvhich for the individual vvould be impossi- ble. The initial meeting of the Slo¬ vene grocerists opened vvith an address by Mr. John Filipič vvho called upon M ! r. John Tomažič and Mr. Joseph Mlakar of the similar organization in Collin¬ vvood. The tvvo speakers out- lined the benefits vvhich the club vvould bring as it is exemplified by the Collinvvood organization. Mr. Frank Jaksic, secretary of the North American Bank vvhen called upon told of the things vvhich could be done and in vvhat precise mannar the grocerists could profit from the organiza¬ tion. Mutual help and group bargaining, he stated, vvere the most important things vvhich the Slovene merchants could do in competition vvith the chain Stores vvhich vvere cutting a deep slash into the neighborhood by the lovvered prices vvhich individual buyers could not hope to reach by individual buying. Among the things discussed vvas the importance of the local merchant to the community and the inter-dependence of the Slo¬ vene merchant and the Slovene community itself. It has been stated that • tihe tvvo fcould not proceed and keep the position they have today unless some or¬ ganization is made vvhich vvill ef- fect the future. The help vvhich the merchants offer to the com- munity by the support of the lo¬ cal undertakings and the re- sponse of the puhlic to such help vvas one of the things vvhich makes it possible to live in com¬ petition vvith chain Stores. But the local merchants must com- pete on equal basis of lovvering of products to the level of the chain store prices vvhich can be accomplishevd by collective buy- ing and merchandising. The assembled merchants vvere so impressed that they im- mediately organized by choosing Mr. Karl Mramor as the presi- dent of the organization. Mr. Louis Prince vvas chosen as the secretary; Mr. J. Filipič, record- ing secretary; Mr. Joseph Met¬ lika, treasurer. Commissioners vvho vvere to supervise buying and vvork in co-operation vvith the executive board vvere John Špeh, Louis PVijatelj and Fred Jazbec. PAGE TWO.

Scmiting md the Community There are people to be found who will not take the things which are done in the špirit in which they are (Jone. They sus- pect more remote cause for activity which by malice or by ignor¬ ance is interpreted into the various movements. There are people always willing to stand behind and suggest ever so suspiciously that this or that is only done as an introduction to something that can only be vvhispered to the initiated few. One of the movements which has suffered most from mis interpretation is the Boy Scout and the Girl Scout movement which is doing wonders with the youth of America of today. Behind the movement are the Scout Oath and Scout Law which teach nothing more than’ that the Scout must prepare himself to take his position in lifa and to be a good citizen by respecting the rights of others. Nowhere has anything beyond the Scout Oath and the Twelve Pointed Law been taught and many a happy man today silently thanks the Scout program for preparing him for success which he is enjoying today. With the motto of “BE PREPARED” Scouts are taught to take čare of themselves as bešt they can while they are in the Scout movement so that the habits they form will be taken with them into life and live so that they will be prepared. Many of the things which are done may look silly to the sophisticated but there i nothing taught which does not have its usefulness and some plače in life. Instead of being questioned about the intents and purposes of the Scout movement there should be a vvhole-hearted acceptance of the Scouting program and an ejidorsement of the movement in such a way that the Scouts feel that they are a part of the com- munity. It is the Scouts who are really interested in the cotnmunity in which they live by being useful and the community should re- ciprocate by being Scout mihded enough to accept that which is taught for the benefit of the boy himself and through him to behefit the community. Nada (Hope) By Frances T. Gerbec (Continued from last week) I love-light in her eyes, was fond- ... ling her child. Nada gave them I will stay here awhile with her smile and re-assured their you,” Nada explained to him as. . . , . . 111 1 bouyant aspirations. She whis- she timidly opened the door, and , , Better Letters smiled at him. Her bed was of straw and her food was dry crust, but she re- mained as beautiful as a star to the hoping poet who was com- pleting his verses. One day, he arove to the city. Nada waited and waited but he failed to re- turn. Either the line of hard, disdain- ful men paid nd attention as they passed the pleading-, dream-eyed figure by the wayside, or he had succeeded, and there was now no need of her. She picked up her cloak lying in the damp corner, and trodded to the dazzling city that was now beckoning to her, She knocked timidly on one of the massive doors with brass knobs, and as she was led before the master, everyone in the halls marvelled at her beauty and her refined delicacy. The servants dressed her in gorgeous robes and at the banquet table in the evening, ali eyes were turned on her exquisite grace and charm. “Nada,” the master exclaimed spiritedly. “Nada,” “There is gold in my cellars. Gold. Rich red gold. It pours through the fingers and jangles happily on the hard floor. I have riches, immense wealth. And I have povver, tre- mendous power,” he ejaculated scornfully, opening his long bony fingers and clutching the gold goblet at his elbow as if to re- hearse the hopes that weighed so over-masteringly on him. “Nada,” he whispered half- sheepishly for approval as he turned to her. Jimkieg to Make Iloom Several large automobile manufacturers have recently received a plan for junking the old machines with w;hich the roads are in- fested giving trouble to the owners and the whole motoring public. The plan if accepted vvill be present to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce for approval. According to the plan official junk yards would be established in different sections of the country. Demolition certificates would be issued by the automobile manufacturers at the rate of $25 plus an additional $5 to $25 received by the dealer for salvaged cars. The plan proposed by the National Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel is aimed at taking the antiquated cars which have long outlived their usefulness from the road. It is hoped that the plan will work out successfully for its benefits will go into several directions. Tihere would be a new market for machines aside from the foreign trade and normal re- placement; dealers would be relieved of the used car problem and the public would be relieved of thd traffic problems which old cars inevitably cause. Silver in Washington For 2500 years silver has been called the queen of metals and now the queen has been shamed when thei quotations went down to 35 cents an ounce where formerly it was quoted as high as $1.20 for the same amount. Silver miners and senators from silver mining States are in a panic since the demand for gold which is our standard of trading has displaced the importance of silver on the world market. Senators fro’m the far Western States are telling the world that the panacea for our ills economically is the more liberal pse of silver and are trying to persuade Senate to make laws in which more silver would be used and the silver mining States would become prosperous. The agitation for silver and the use of silver has become so insistent that the Senate despite the recommendation of the sub- committee on foreign affairs has virtually told Europe that it must use more silver in its coins. It is a čase of trying to teli the world that the example of the United 'States must be followed by the other countries. And that is only the beginning. When the Senate čonvenes in December to vote on the question the silver interests wi{l add two more items to the bills in the hope of introducing silver in exchange values. Whatever may be the outcome of the whole silver question there is the sullen conviction on the greater part of tjhose who are following the question very clos e ly that it is an" effort of the silver mining industries to help them in their own industry. It is a čase of having. the legislature help out a special group at the expense of the country as a whole. The silver industry, like many other in¬ dustries will have to find its own way out of the problema without the benefit of the legislation. “Nada?" he questioned more eagerly. But Nada’s eyes were sad as she slowly lifted them, “Your gold, your wealth, your power — i»\ey are only ashes,” she said. “Ashes?” he shouted, jeerin- gly, as he clenched his hands and dug into his palms. “Ashes!” The din of the banquet table was suddenly hushed as the cry resounded through the halls. The guests looked blankly at each other, surprised by the wrath and rage of the host and slowly de- parted, one by one. Nada, too, went with them. In a rose-covered cottage by the road, a mother, with a soft, pered kindly to the old man whittling by the door-step, to the sweet maid dreaming by the gar¬ den gate, and even to an old slouched figure hurrying past her. She coquetted with the stout- hearted farmer who was driving his oxen over the rocky land and stopped to chat awhile with the old woman who was scrubbing pans in the kitchen and made her believe that they were drums of brass, that her kettles were sing- ing fifes and that she was a cjueen in a marble palače. Sometimes she lived in the city in a tali, iron-shelved city with myriads of hard electric lights and pecple cashing madly thru iron-clad caverns. Early in the morning, a long black serpentine stream of hunched tendons of Steel and strong but pale visages wound its way into tali, black, massive structures of stone and metal. Of ali the fixed, immova- ble, wild-eyed faces, there was one whose brown eyes twinkled as Nada passed by, and who oc- casional!y glanced out of his half- open window, near the sky, to watch her, standing by the road, smiling encouragingly. In the evening, she whispered to him strange tales of kings and palaces, of love and rose-covered cottages with windows of happy faces, of the embalming and soul- quenching beauty of sunset. There was a smeli of the salt-breeze in her hair and a perfume of fresh- mown hay on her body. She call¬ ed to him to creep from his dun- geon and imrnediately he was a prince, a very charming prince, and t.hey had such gay times to- gether. That is the life Nada Ieads. She never grows old or less beautiful. Everyone knows her to be bene- volent and gvacious. Her wile.‘ have done much good and some¬ times much evil, for she has al- ways existed in the heart of man and his heart has ever been fickle. She was seen last at a lover’s bench in the park. It was a moon- lit night and a soft breeze wa? lulling the leaves of the waving branches. Her eyes sparkled ar she heartened the faltering lover and pleaded with the shy maid You see, the human race could not live without Nada. Many people know your busi- ness, your firm, or your company, only through correspondence. The conveyance of a good im- pression through your letter is vvorth while. A poorly construct- ed letter may give the customer the idea that your merchandise is f oorly constructed. When you write letters for your firm, you represent it. It rests with you to make a gocd or a bad impression. There are definite letter-vvrit- ing habits that one can form and profit by. One is to answer a letter the day it is received, if humanly possible. Be briejf but be cottcise. Bre- vity and conciseness are not sy- nonymous. Definitely plan your letters just as a general plans his campaign. If you are in business, letters are a part of your tactics. Have, and show a human in- terest in the people to whom you write. Last, but not ieast, choose your words carefully. Words are your tOols; they can make or break, soothe or wound. Be sure that you use the right tool. Never, never descend to stock phrases, just because your forbears used them. Be Creative! Write as vou speak. Your teward will be fresh, original letters that will not not go basket-v/ard.

Beals, Carleton Mexican Maize “I liked this book, I sat up the better half of a night reading it. Of course, M l exico, to me, is the most fascinating country in the world. It’s a mad country; its people are ali a little mad. Its | brooding country of blood and ' beauty. Carleton Beals has lived fif- teen years in Mexico. He has watohed the blood-drenched progess of the revolution, the admirable but futile attempts al oducation and freedom. He has known those extraordinary men generals shoot their sides because w ho, each in his way, directed they complain of headaches. “Here’s some aspirin for you,” says the General, and blows his side’s brains ali over the plače. Ali the rest of the colonels, cap- tains, and majors present rock with laughter. If you’ve ever been in Mexico you’ll never be comfortable again. You begin to think about the black mountains, the green fields, the long rows of cactus, the blue rebozes of the women, the lean dark Christ-Iike faces ofi the men under the broad som, beros, the tilting church tovvers, the smeli of gardenias, the soft pad of bare feet, the lengthy quiet. . .The more you remem- surge of Mexican destiny. Obre- gon, “the plump card-sharper of ambitions,” Huerta, “the blood- thirsty drunken troglodyte,” Vil- la, “the half-savage bandit So¬ cialist,” Carranza, “the stately obstinate Ceasar,” Calles and Portes Gil, he knew and a thou- sand others in ali walks of life. Through the pages of his book the black, turbulent, blood- streaked river of Mexican life pursues its unfathomable way. Peon, general, murderer, states- man, politician, serf, priest, fan- atic, madman; the most conglo- merate pageant, the strangest procession on earth.

Subscribe to the Cleveland Journal Dramatic Incidents of SLOVENE HIST0RY By John Pristov and Frank Sodnikar ZRINJSKFS DEATH BLOW TO THE TUR Ks For almost a century the infidel Turk had b een pressing the people of Slovenia with his> ravagin g ^ atrocious raids. Both blood and tear s had b een slled by the forefathers bf Slovenia and it appeared that \ Lord had forsaken them in their greatest peril. ^ e tingly protray this era, a history vvritten in blood Wo J d be necessary. Thousands of Slovene patriots were S U aiti by th*e Turkish saber, while as many more wer e take into Turkish lands, there to lose their faith and lan : ' nguage Besides laying upon the altar of sacrifice their blood and lives, the oppressed people also gave up their last p etv . nies in defense of their native land. Beliš, organ-pi pes candlesticks, monstrances and chalices, to be recast money in order to finance and equip the Au 1 into st rian troops; ali were given with v a willing špirit. In spite of these bloody and terrific sacrifi ces i( required a very long time before there arose a day 0 ( peace and safety for the Slovenes. Not a singl e y eat in the sixteenth century passed that' the Turkish hordes did not break into tho Slovene domain at least on ce Scarcely would the burned) and robbed vill a g e s di» themselves out of the ruins when a new Turkish f 0fce would again swoop down upon them and reduce them to the same plightful condition from which they k a( j just extricated themselves. These persecutio ns became so fearful that the people of Slovenia began to migr ate into other countries. Austria’s arm y had been diminisk ed to such an extent that it was no longer able to present a suitable defense against these Turkish invaders Austria received its greatest scare when the M 0 - hammedan forces again resumed their ravaging tactics in the year of 1662. At this time the I urks became so bold that the Sultan sent a letter to the Emperor ol Austria in Vienna demanding from him An almost im- possible deed. In his message the Sultan requested the Emperor Leopold to withdraw ali his troops from the Austrian frontiers; for the Sultan considered that part of Austria as his own and could not bear Austrian soldiers guarding it. If his demand would not be carried out, the Sultan stated that he himself would attend to the matter and. would come down on Austria with his troop.^ This ultimatum caused a big stir in the capitol. The emperor was in the dark as regards to what he should do. He fully realized that if he acceded to the de- mands of the Sultan, the foundation of his empire would be weakened and that soon the crown he wore would rest on the head of the Sultan. Hpwever if the d<- mands would not be met with, he knew that theie would be long and dreadful vvarfare, which the im- poverished army of Austria could not withst a nd. In the succeeding week the Emperor was worn with worries. He called together his cabinet so that he could wash his hands of the whole matter and leave it up to them to decide as to what choice the govern- ment should make. You are the Cabinet, and it is your duty, as the representatives of the people, to decide such impor tant things as these, vvhere the safety andi progress of the people are directly concerned,” impressed the effl" peror after he had acquainted them with the purpose of the meeting. There is nothing for us to do; we cannot submit to that outrageous demand of that vile Sultan. We can¬ not withdraw our guard from the frontier; that would be as much as surrendering to him. If we did, the hon« of Austria would be vexed severely and the pride of Austria s citizens would be injured,” hotly retorted a Ioyal representative. We must withdraw our troops. If we do nd .there will be bloodshed and bear in mind that regardless of our decision we vvill be forced to surrender to hi* in the end. Our army is too small to contend with f' huge skilled, force. I have heard reports that the tan has prepared for this very purpose one 1 hundre^ thousand men and twenty three cannons.

Jean played a big part in this victory as she played the outfield and she can claim to be tbe first girl to hit a homer in this Stadium. Her Circuit clout was a terrific drive, carrying for a long dis¬ tance. Jean is also a pitcher al- ternating every now and then in the outfield where her batting štrength is a great help.

Y. M. C. their fifth straight loss, 4 to 0. Iggie Jeray on the mound for the Orels kept six hits scat¬ tered and bested Yerse who gave up eight hits. The S. Y. M. C. have showed terrible form in the playing field and are considered out of the running for champion- ship honors. This unexpected reversal in form, is a complete surprise to the fans, who last year, watched them, materialize, into a strong and powerful hit¬ ting club. The S. D. Z. outfit said they lost t(he laurels last season by a fluke, but now it can readily be seen that every club has improved tenfold and the going is just twice as hard as last season. Jeray Jinx to S. Y. M. C. It was Iggie Jeray who set down the S. Y. M. C.’s in their championship fight and Jeray again proved to be master of the S. D. Z. outfit. The Orels spot- ted Iggie two runs in the first inning and Iggie set down the S. Y. Ml C.s thruout the entire tussle. Jeray allovved but six hits and four walks, always kept him in trouble onIy to have his fielders accord him brilliant sup- port. Freddie Marinko, besides play ing a stellar fielding game, was the hard hitter of the fracas. He lambasted Twin Yerse’s pitches for two doubles. Pristov singled twice to take the second honors. F. Brancelj hit safely once out of two trips to the plate. Twin Yerse on the rubber for the losers, was touched for eight hits, one walk and four runs. He breezed ten. Tekavec was able to connect safely twice, crashing a double and single out of three trips to the plate. Udovič also smacked two singles. Milavec hit a two bag- ers. M. Sodja Yie!ds 3 Hits As Lojalites Bump Washingtons 9 6 - 2 G.W.’s BREAK MAX’S RUN OF SCORELESS INNINGS -o- The G. W.’s found Max Sod¬ jah pitching a little too stiff for them, and as they could solve his deliveries for only three scat¬ tered singles, dropped a 6 to 2 decision. Errors helped the los¬ ers to their only score. If not for his mates faulty fielding M'ax Sodja’s string of 25 consecutive scoreless innings would have probab!y stili be intact and more added to it. Max started his string as he held the Orels scoreless for six frames, the S. Y. M. C.’s were helpless before his puzzling slants, for nine stan- zas and the Pioneers fell vic- tiras to his fast bali for eight frames making a total of 23 scoreless innings. Against the G. W.’s Max hurled two perfect innings but in the third, a walk coupled with two errors and two passed balls by the catcher, help¬ ed the G. W.’s to their only score. Max shut them out thru¬ out the remainder of the game Max breezed 16 hitsmen and is- sued 3 free passes. The Loyal- ites scored five runs in the first inning on four hits and two er¬ rors. They tallied once again in the third on three walks and a single. Max also did a little heavy hitting, collecting a double and single. J. Kuhel clouted two singles. “Pugs” Opalek steadied down after the- first inning and allovved only four hits for the remaining eight frames. He dusted off 7 hitters and vvalked three. Ele also got one of his team’s three hits. Brezovar and Kromar divided the other two hits.

This decision of the M , ajesty enlivened the cabi" net members and they immediately began deliberating as to vvho should lad this army. They decided that Peter Zrinjski vvas the man. It vvas one thing for the Emperor to talk to kis mighty army and hovv it vvould defeat the enemy but it vvas another to go out and vvin the battle. With Zrinjski at the helm, the army met reverse after reverse. Steadily the Turkj vvas penetrating the heart of Austria.

After this defeat the lords of vvar considei^ the cause lost and returned home vvith their troops. ^ here vvas stili one man, hovvever, vvho had the courag e to remain and fight it out—that man vvas Peter Zrinj jski.
