Bančni tajnik Frank Jakšič je govoril v številkah in te številke so pokazale, kako1 močno stoji ta slovenska banka v teh, tako težkih časih.

Edwin Barry, dal v tem oziru policijskemu načelniku popolnoma prosto roko.

Vidite, s takimi prismodarijami se moramo boriti časnikarji. Vero skušajo spraviti v politiko, dasi sama naša ameriška ustava to prepoveduje. Pa ni treba verjeti, da so vsi ameriški protestanti taki.

Vsak fantiček in deklica v četrtem razredu ameriške šole prav dobro ve sledečo .zgodovinsko resnico: Prvi stalni naseljenci so dospeli v Ameriko decembra meseca, leta i620. Pripeljali so se sem z ladjo Mayflower in pristali so v Plymouth mestu. In vsi ti prvi stalni naseljenci so bib protestanti. Zgodovina imenuje te prve stalne naseljence "Pilgrims" ali "romarje." In tedaj je bil na Angleškem kralj — James 1., velik protestant. Saj se je po njem imenovala prva protestantovska prestava sv. pisma v Angliji. Leta 1604 je ta angleški kralj James I. sklical kongres!*" episkopalne protestantovske cerkve, kamor je pozval škofe ! in gotove odlične predstavnike protestantizma. Skušal je ! vse protestante zediniti medsebojno, in ko so mu odgovori-li, da tega ne bo dosegel, je jezno vstal in rekel: "Bomo videli! In če se ne podajo, jih vržemo v ječo ali pa poženemo iz našega kraljestva!" In ker se puritanci ter presbiterijanci niso podali, so njih najbolj odlični zastopniki bili vrženi v ječe ali so se pa rešili z begom. Pobegnili so na Nizozemsko, odkoder so se pozneje odpeljal kot "romarji" v Ameriko, da se tu stalno naselijo, prosti protestantovske inkvizicije in preganjanja od strani angleškega kralja. od hudiča močan, dober pa kot sama pošast.

(Smuka ni bilo na sejo; menda ga še noge bolijo, ko je pri Jalovcu tekal za tistim zajcem). Novi predsednik je Bučar, ki je fant od fare, se razume, sicer ga ne bi izvolili za našega generala. Spozna se ga pa po nosu, oziroma barvi istega, ki jt temnordeča in vleče že malo na višnjevo, kar se mu jako poda. Kar veselje ga je bilo gledati, ko je zavzel svoje mestoV roki je držal galonček oha.jčana, kakor svoječasno stari Franc Jožef svoje žezlo, in njegov nos je tako harmoniral z barvo v galončku, da so ga člani začeli kar objemati (predsednika namreč, ne galončka, ki ga je držal visoko v zraku, kar so mu člani zelo zamerili). No, pa se nas je končno vendar usmilil ter dovolil, da si malo omočimo naša vedno suha grla, pri čemer je bil sam seveda prvi, i kakopak! Tako daleč je bilo vse dobro. Nato je priromalo (ne vem, po čigavi krivdi), na mizo še precejšnje število velikih buč, nakar se je začelo predlaganje in podpiranje od vseh strani. (Ali si ti, Jaka., že kaj takšnega doživel?). ; Iz zapisnika je razvidno, da so člani sprejeli predlog Kavčnika. J ki je predlagal, naj bi se vsak torek vršila taka seja.

Steni pa seve ni rečeno, da odslej ne bodo sprejemali več vlog, a, vsak čas in prav z veseljem. V tej kampanji sem bil jaz med prvimi (pa ne prav prvi), i temu so mi veliko pripomogle naše ženske, za kar se jim prav epo zahvaljujem. Slišal sem, da sem se v par krajih zameril, ker nisem prišel na obisk, ozi- oma po vlogo. Temu so krivi tisti, ki me niso pustili iz hiše (pa tudi nisem preveč silil). Nekateri so mi iz okoliških mest prinesli jako lepe logve, eden mi je poslal celo iz Pennsylvanije nekaj tisočakov. Vsem tem torej prav lepa hvala. Tiste, ki jih nisem v tej kampanji obiskal, jih bom pa v drugi, saj mi ne boste ušli. V tej kampanji se je pripeti-a marsikatera lepa dogodbica in eno teh bom tukajle povedal-V kampanji sta skupaj "ronala" John Strauss in John Gornik. Po Collinwoodu in beli Ljubljani so ju jako lepo sprejeli (in postregli), za kar se cenjenim rojakom prav lepo zahvaljujeta, kot pravita. Pa sta bila tako goreča za našo banko, da sta ne koč vozila skozi rdečo luč. To sta napravila menda zato, ker je bilo na luči zapisano "stop," kar pomeni po naše, da se takrat prav pošteno stopi ali požene.

Naš predsednik Louis Gliha je dobil od nekega prijatelja za novoletno darilo par lepih zajcev, ki popolnoma tako zgleda-jo kot divji. Kakor sem nekaj od strani slišal, misli več zajcev zarediti skozi leto. Prihodnjo sezono, ko se odpre lov, bo šel Lojze pa kar v hlev po en par zajčkov.

Radoveden ga odpre in odvije. V zavoju je bilo 14.000 holandskih forintov. Storil je z denarjem to, kar stori vsak pošten najditelj : odnesel ga je na policijo in je upal, da dobi primerno nagrado za svojo poštenost. Neverjetno se sliši, pa je gola resnica, da namreč niso mogli na noben način najti človeka, ki je ta denar izgubil. Preteklo je žc tri leta od onega dogodka in tri leta predpisuje holandska postava kot rok, po katerem preide vsaka najdena stvar v roke srečnega najditelja. Sluga je to vedel in je potrpežljivo čakal tri leat. Pred kratkim se je to zgodilo in obrnil se je na mestno občino. Tam so mu pa rekli, da je še neka druga postava, ki trdi, da preide najdena stvar v roke najditelja šele po tridesetih letih. Sluga, ki ima za seboj že precej križev, ima torei | lepe izglede, da bo v visoki sta-; rosti bogat. . . V zadevo pa je poseglo časopisje, ki je iz vse zadeve izvajalo moralni nauk, da res nima zmisla, da bi bil človek, ki ima že 50 let na hrbtu, še pošten.

Stvar je bila namreč taka: Par tednov prej sem bil pisal na naslov Ivan Berčiča v Spodnje Ghmeljne. žnjim sva bila skupaj v Rusiji, pa tni je bil dal svoj naslov, oziroma njegovi soprogi, pa dobim odgovor: "Hej, Jože, doma sem, doma! Pridi kaj k meni na obisk, da se kaj pomeniva!" In ker sem bil sedaj tako blizu njega, sem ga pa nameraval obiskati. Dobil sem dopust, pa jo mahnem nekoga popoldne k Ivanu tja pod šmarno goro. Kmalu sva si veselo stisnila roke: "Bog te živi, Ivan, Bog te živi, Jože!" No, sedaj sem bil pa gost Ivana Berčiča, starega prijatelja tam iz ruskega Dona. Razume se, da je pri takih prilikah takoj vino na mizi in midva z Ivanom sva ga zehtala, da sem pozabil na vojašnico, na Koroško in še na •Jugoslavijo zraven. Obujala sva spomine iz dežele Donskih kozakov, tja na polje, kjer sem imel jaz svoj "šalaš" (slamnoto utico), kjer sem mesece in mesece preležal sleherno noc. Kako dolgočasno je bilo vsako noč: ležati v tisti utici in Paziti na konje. Pa me je -marsikateri večer obiskal Ivan, ki je prignal konje svojega gospodarja na naše polje. Tam sva se razgovarjala o domovini, ali 10 se 1?eda-) vidiva — in sedaj pa sva bila oba doma. Nič ni bilo čudnega, da sem pozabil, da mi je potekel dopust in da bi se bil moral vrniti v vojašnico.

Najhujša je bila kobila, katero je Ivan jezdaril. omagam mu pomiriti konje in van je še posebej v šolo vzel kobilo in jo učil manir s pripravnim konopcem.

Slednji je zanimiv zaradi tega, ker je fondi služboval kot mašnik Silvij, poznejši papež Pij 11. Vsaj tako so nam pravili tamo-šnji ljudje; koliko je resnice na tem, ne vem. Prebivalstvo je bilo zelo prijazno z nami ter nam je šlo v vseh ozirih na roko. Zlasti kmetje in duhovščina so bili zelo zavedni Slovenci. Jugoslovanskim vojakom so dali na razpolago skednje in šupe, kamor smo hodili spat. Pa tudi podnevi smo se včasih valjali po slami, pa so prišli k nam va-sovat domači možakarji, ki so nas spraševali, kedaj pričnemo tirati Nemce nazaj. Bali so se, da nas ne potisnejo Nemci nazaj in da zasedejo Slovenjgradeč. Povedali smo jim, da čakamo samo še povelja višjih. Poveljnik naše druge ljubljanske baterije je bil nadporočnik Juvanc, kateremu sta bila podrejena nadporočnik Mravljak in poročnik Alois Zaje. Vsi trije so bili zavedni Slovenci ter pri moštvu zelo priljubljeni. Občevali so z nami kot s tovariši in nismo se mogli pritoževati čeznje. Nedaleč od Slovenjgradca, gori v hribih so taborili Nemci, ki so kar naprej vznemirjali okolico s streljanjem. Naša pehota jim je seve odgovarjala. Na desno od nas, nad Starim trgom je taborila celjska baterija, ki je od časa do časa poslala po nekaj granat in šrapnelov v nemške postojanke. Zvečer, kadar sem stal na straži pri topovih, sem opazoval Celjane kako živahno streljajo; Nemci jim odgovarjajo in gori v hribih je bil pa pravcati peklenski vrišč: puške pokajo, strojnice regija jo, kot bi kdo orehe stresal na bukov pod. Z menoj je stal tovariš Janez, doma iz moje sosednje vasi, pa me vpraša: "Jože, kakor vse kaže bo še huda bitka; tako poka kot v Galiciji." Kajpada, Nemci neradi izgube gospodstvo na Slo-vcnci. Toda zadosti dolgo so ga tlačili. Saj pravi pesnik Simon Gregorčič: Anton Novačan: NAŠA VAS te, ker vsak cas pričakujemo, da odrinemo na Koroško. In res, še tisti večer nam po-edo, da drugi dan odrinemo proti Koroški. To novico smo zvedeli zvečer na 20. maja. Brž redimo svoje stvari, topovi so 111 ze naloženi in zjutraj odko-akamo proti južnemu kolodvo-'U' od tam pa z vlakom v Slove-njegradec na štajersko, kamor smo dospeli okrog enajste ure £vecer. Topove spravimo z vlaka ter jih postavimo na polje pri Slovenj egradcu. Uredimo jih za akcijo, potem pa nasekamo zelenih vej, ter topove prav skrbno maskiramo, da je izgledalo, kot da raste tam samo grmovje, ne pa da so postavljeni topovi. To je bilo jako potrebno keV Nemci so večkrat pribr-neh s svojimi aeroplani, da po-i z vedo, kje se nahaja jugoslovansko topništvo. Drugi dan se je vršila prisega, ko smo prisegli zvestobo Jugoslaviji in kralju Petru I Po- Združili vso moč so, ves divji svoj gnev, in trli junaka krvavo, in njemu, ki venec zasluži kraljev, rabili so trnjev na glavo. Puške pokajo, na straži stojim, pa razmišljujem našo usodo, ter rečem Janezu: "Nič ne de, če se udarimo in če pademo. Saj bomo padli za osvobojenje svoje lastne zemlje." — "že velja," pravi Janez in naprej opazuje bliske, ki švigajo iz topov, Toda kaj čakamo, da ne gremo v akcijo? Naši topovi"kar molče; ali bomo Ljubljančani samo za parado tukaj? To zopet ne gre, da bi naši 10 palčni poljski havbici ne grmeli. Pa so kmalu zagrmeli! Dva dni zatem pride povelje, da se našo baterijo razdeli na dva dela. En del gre z nadpo-rečnikom Juvancem v št. Janž, drugi del pa k sv. Urbanu. K tem zadnjim sem bil dodeljen tudi jaz. Z nami sta bila nadporočnik Mravljak in poročnik Zaje. Hitro smo vse uredili za odhod in odšli, eni na levo, drugi na desno. Spravimo naše topove po precej strmem klancu, Ustavimo se na travniku blizu neke žage, deset minut proč od cerkvice sv. Urbana. To je bilo na 26. maja. Nemec je moral bit dobro poučen o naši poziciji, ter je tisti večer kaj pridno obstreljeval našo postojanko, zadel pa le ni. ' Najbližja granata, ki se je razpočila, je padla kakih pet sežnjev proč od naših topov. Vsi drugi streli so se razpočili daleč proč. (Dalje prihodnjič.) muwiwuuvmuuwuwut In kakor, da se je preplašil lastnih besed, je Umolknil in zrl na razbito razpelo. Mučna tišina se mu je zdela, kakor da bi tulila na njegova ušesa. — Kaj? je zamahnil z roko. — Neumnost vsa moja pokora . . ., slepota in laž! . . . Povrnila se je moja moč, zopet bom grešil brez kesanja! . . . Deklica se je čudila. — Za Boga, kaj se vam je zgodilo? Elija je sedel kraj nje in jo je objel. — Ubožica! Ti misliš, da sem jaz reven, da. nimam jesti! Stokrat ti poplačam tvojo usmilje-nost . . . Velika gospa boš, moja kraljica boš! čuješ, ali me razumeš? Kako ti je ime, revica? — Angela mi je ime! je odgovorila plaho in se .je stisnila v njegovo naročje. — Nič več ne boš pohajkovala po ulicah. . . Bogat sem, ali močeš biti moja? — Hočem! je odgovorila in je vprašala: Kako pa vam je ime? — Elija! Najprej človek, potem norec, sedaj zopet človek. še tistega dne se je pripravil Elija na novo življenje. Angela je bila vsa srečna in ni mogla poj miti toliko srečo. IV. V toplem večernem mraku je hodil Elija po bogato opremljeni sobi. Na rokah je držal Anki ga je objela in se naslona njegove prsi. Gledala ga v obraz in vpraševala: Elija, kdaj bom tvoja že- 9 — čakaj, počakaj, da vse uredim in zavedem trgovino. V nekaj mesecih bo vse gotovo in potem se poročiva. Ali me kaj Iju- Angela ? mu je izginil iz oči in usten, ves obraz se mu je naenkrat zmračil. Vselej, kadar je vprašal za ljubezen, ga je bilo sram. Občutil je ponižanje, s katerim je žalil svojo moč in svoj ponos, posebno če se je spomnil prejšnjih časov, ko je ukazoval, ne prosil. "Ljubi me!" je zapovedal ,in ženske so ga ljubile. "čakaj me," jim je rekel mimogrede, in čakale so ga v sladkem trepetu, kadar je prišel. In ko mu je Angela odgovarjala "ljubim te," ni verjel, ampak jo je z bridkim nasmehom postavil na tla. Angela pa se je jela dolgočasiti. Mirno in redno življenje je pognalo kri v njena lica, njeni udje so postajali polni in prožnejši. Kadar ni bilo Elije doma, se je ogledovala pred zrcalom in govorila sama s seboj: "Ko bi šla taka na ulico! — Zvečer! Ponoči na ples! Ali bi noreli moški!" Elije se je bala bolj kakor ga je spoštovala. Najrajša ga je imela tedaj, kadar ji je prinesel dragoceno obleko, lepe čeveljčke in lep klobuk. Skakala je okrog njega in ga objemala. — Elija, moj dobri starček. Kako sem ti hvaležna, kako te ljubim! Elija je molčal: • Le prve dni svojega znanja z Angelo je bil srečen, potem ga je začela mučiti ljubosumnost. Ob tihih nočeh jo je izpraševal vse natanko o njenem prejšnjem življenju, vse podrobnosti je hotel vedeti. Dokler se ga ni privadila, je odgovarjala pokorno in plaho, potem pa je postajala nejevoljna in hladna. — čemu ta vprašanja? Pustiva življenje, ki mi je tuje. — Kar je bilo, se ne vrne več! In tiho je pristavila: — Saj te tudi jaz ne vprašujem, Elija, kako si živel, kod si hodil, kje si zapravljal svojo lepo mladost? Kaj mene to briga, a.ti meni daj mir! Elija je vedel, da je zablodil v vrtinec, katerega mu ni več rešitve. Nameraval je začeti trgovino z vinom in se oženiti z Angelo. Včasih je celo zahrepe-nel po otroku, pa malem kričavem Elijčku, katerega bi vzgojil in mu pokazal življenjsko srečo. Toda kmalu se je razočaral. Angela je bila malomarna in hladna, od dne do dne bolj sitna in pusta. Odreči se je ni mogel, er jo je zares ljubil, in da bi se ne poniževal, je molčal. Ničesar ji ni očital, tiho je trpel. Včasih se je spomnil začete pokore, zamislil se je v tiste svetle dni, ko je klečal pred razpelom na. bodičastem klečalniku. Lepi so se mu zdeli tisti dnevi odda-leč, želel si jih je nazaj, ampak veroval ni vanje. Sam sebi zoprn, je stiskal pesti in mrmral v svojo sivo brado: "Vse plačati, vse poravnati!"

RUDOLF MOLE V— "Gospod Sadovski," je rekel čez hip Miller, in sicer z glasom, ki se je trudil biti prijazen in ljubezniv, "ti odgovoriš odkri-tosrčnejše nego drugi, kaj misliš, zakaj tvoj ugled te varuje pred vsakim dvomom. . ." "Mislim, general," je odgovoril polkovnik, "da je bil ta Kmi-tic eden izmed največjih sedanjih junakov in da je naš položaj brezupen." "Saj ti si bil že prej za odstop?" "Oprosti, vaše visokorodje, bil sem le zato, da ne začenjamo ob-legovanja. To pa je čisto nekaj drugega." "Torej kaj svetuješ sedaj?" "Sedaj prepuščam glas gospodu Vreščoviču. . ." Miller je zaklel kakor pogan. "Gospod Vreščovič bo odgovoren za vse to nesrečno podjetje." "Ker se niso izpolnili vsi moji nasveti," je odgovoril drzno Vreščovič, "bi tudi lahko odvrnil od sebe odgovornost. Bili so taki, ki so jih prekrižali, bili taki, ki so v svoji zares čudoviti in nerazumljivi naklonjenosti do menihov odgovarjali vaše visokorodje od vseh strožjih sredstev. Svetoval sem, da naj obesijo ona dva meniha - poslanca, in prepričan sem, če bi se to zgodilo, bi nam že sam strah odprl vrata tega kurnika." Tu je začel Vreščovič gledati na Sadovskega, toda še preden je utegnil ta odgovoriti, se je vmešal knez Heski: "Ne imenuj, grot, te trdnjave kurnik, zakaj čimbolj zmanjšuješ njen pomen, tembolj povečuješ našo sramoto." "Saj sem svetoval, naj se poslanca obesita. Strah in vedno strah, evo, kar sem ponavljal od rana do večera, toda gospod Sadovski je zagrozil, da odide in meniha sta varno odšla." , "Pojdi, gospod grof, danes v trdnjavo," je odgovoril Sadovski, "razstreli njih največji top, kakor je našega ta Kmitic, pa te zagotavljam, da bo to razširilo večji strah kakor pa zavratni umor poslancev." Vreščovič se je obrnil naravnost na Millerja: "Vaše visokorodje! Menim, da smo prišli semkaj na posvetovanje, a ne na zabavo!" "Ali imaš, gospod, še kaj drugega povedati razen teh očitanj ?" "Imam, kljub veselosti teh gospodov, ki bi lahko prihranili svojo dobro.voljo za boljše ča se." "O Laertid, znan po svoji veliki zvijači!" je zakričal knez Heski. "Gospodje," je odgovoril Vreščovič, "ker je splošno znano, da ni Minerva vaša zaščitna boginja, in ker vas Mars ni zapustil in ste se odrekli besede, dovoli' te, da govorim jaz." "Gora stoka, takoj bom uzrli mišji rep," je pripmnil Sari vski. "Prosim, molčite!" je reke) strogo Miller. "Le govori, gospod grof, samo spomni se, da so prinašali tvoji nasveti grenak sad." "Kateri moramo poleg zime uživati kakor splesneli suhor!" je posegel vmes knez Heski. "S tem se torej pojasnjuje, čemu vaše blagorodje pije toliko vina," je dejal Vreščovič, "a dasi vino ne nadomešča prirojenega dovtipa, ti pomaga celo, da veselo prenašaš celo sramoto. Toda pustimo to! Vem dobro, da je v trdnjavi stranka, katera se že davno hoče podati, in le naša slabost z ene in nadčloveški odpor prior j a druge strani j ih držita na uzdah. Nov strah jim ne vznemirja in še silneje na-skakovati!" "Ali je to vse?" "Tudi če bi bilo to že vse, mislim, da je podoben nasvet bolj v skladu s častjo švedskih vojakov, kakor jalovo norčevanje pri čašah in pijančevanje. Toda to ni vse. Treba je raztrositi med našimi, a zlasti med poljskimi vojaki vest, da so rudarji, ki kopajo sedaj mine, odkrili star podzemeljski prehod, ki se vleče pod sam samostan in cerkev. . ." "Gospod, ti imaš prav, to je dober nasvet," je rekel Miller. "Ko se razširi ta vest med našimi in poljskimi vojaki, bodo sami vojaki nagovarjali menihe, naj se podajo, ker se i njim i menihom gre za to, da se ohrani to gnezdo praznoverja." "Za katolika to ni slabo," je zamrmral Sadovski. "Ce bi ti služil Turkom, bi pa imenoval Rim gnezdo praznoverja," je odgovoril knez Heski. "Tedaj pošljejo Poljaki gotovo svoje poslance k menihom," je nadaljeval polkovnik Vreščovič, "ona stranka pa, katera se hoče podati, se bo prestrašila ter napela vse svoje sile, in kdo ve, če ne prisljo priorja in nasprotnikov, da odpro vrata." "In pogine mesto Priama, ko se mu približa božanstveni Le-artid," je deklamiral knez Heski. "Za Boga, čista trojanska zgodovina, njemu se pa zdi, da je izumil nekaj novega," je odgovoril Sadovski. Miller ju pa je ugajal ta nasvet, ker v bistvu ni bil slab. Stranka, katero je omenjal Vreščovič, je zares obstojata v samostanu. še celo nekateri manj pogumni menihi so pripadali k njej. Vrhu tega se je lahko razširil strah med posadko ter prevzel celo one, ki so se doslej hoteli braniti do zadnje kaplje krvi. "Poizkusimo, poizkusimo!" je govoril Miller, ki se je kakor utopljenec prijemal vsake bilke in prehajal od o b u p a k nadi. "Toda ali bosta Kalinski in polkovnik Zbrožek še hotela iti kot poslanca v samostan, če bosta verjela v ta rov in če ga bosta hotela menihom napovedati?" "V vsakem slučaju pojde gotovo Kuklinovski," je odgovoril Vreščovič, "toda bolje bo, da se tudi on prepriča v veri, da obstoja tak rov." Vtem se je zaslišal pred stanom topot. "Evo, tudi gospod Zbrožek je prišel!" je rekel knez Heski, ko je pogledal skozi okno. Čez hip so v veži zazvenele ostroge in v sobo je planil Zbrožek. Njegov obraz je bil bled, razburjen in preden so ga utegnili oficirji vprašati, kaj je neki vzrok njegovemu čudnemu obnašanju, je polkovnik zaklical: "Kuklinovski je mrtev!" "Kako to? Kaj praviš? Kaj se je zgodilo?" je vprašal Miller. "Dovolite, da se oddahnem," je rekel Zbrožek, "zakaj to, kar sem videl, presega vsako domi-išljijo." "Govori hitreje! Ali so ga umorili?" so zavpili vsi. "Kmitic!" je odgovoril Zbrožek. Vsi oficirji so planili s svojih sedežev ter začeli gledati na gospoda Zbrožka, kakor bi imeli zblaznelega pred seboj. On pa je zasopel in pripovedoval: "če ne bi videl, bi ne verjel, zakaj to je nadčloveška sila. — Kuklinovski mrtev, trije vojaki ubiti, o Kmiticu pa ne duha ne sluha. Vedel sem, da je strašen človek. Njegov glas je znan v da novih sil, zato moramo poka-j vsej deželi. Da bi pa vendar zali. da uaB izguba enega lopa 1 mogel kot jetnik, zvezan, ne le zbežati, temveč še pobiti vojake in Ivuklinovskega obesiti. . . tega ni mogel storiti človek, kvečjemu hudič!" "Kaj podobnega se ni zgodilo še nikjer na svetu. ... To je neverjetno!" je zašepetal Sadovski. "Ta Kmitic je pokazal, kaj zna," je odgovoril knez Heski. "Mi pa nismo verjeli včeraj Poljakom, ki so nam pravili, kakšen ptiček je; mislili smo, da le pretiravajo, kakor navadno." "človek bi kar ponorel!" je zakričal Vreščovič. Miller se je držal z rokama za glavo in ni nič govoril. Ko je naposled vzdignil oči, so se v njih križali bliski jeze z bliski sumničenja. Gospod Zbrožek," je rekel, tudi.če bi bil satan, ne človek, brez pomoči, brez kakega izdajstva ne bi mogel tega storiti. Kmitic je imel tu svoje oboževalce, Kuklinovski pa svoje sovražnike in ti si tudi spadal k njim." Zbrožek je bil v vsem pomenu besede drzen vojak. Ko je slišal, daje ta očitek naperjen proti njemu, je prebledel, planil pokonci, se približal Millerju, mu zastopil pot in mu zrl prosto v oči. "Ali morda vaše visokorodje sumniči mene?" je vprašal. Nastal je zelo mučen treno-tek. Vsi navzoči niso niti za en hip dvomili, da nastane v slučaju trdilnega odgovora gotovo nekaj strašnega in nezaslišanega v vojaški zgodovini. Vse roke so prijele mečne ročaje. Sadovski pa je svojega kar poteg-' nil. Toda v tem hipu so oficirji ugledali skozi okno, da se je dvorišče napolnilo s poljskimi jezdeci. Najbrž so tudi oni prihajali z novicami o Kuklinovskem ter bi gotovo v primeru spopada stali na Zbrožkovi strani. Videl jih je tudi Miller, in dasi mu je obraz obledel od strašne jeze, se je vendar premagal in se delal, da ne vidi v Zbrožkovem nastopu nič izzivajočega; potrudil se je torej, da je odgovoril z naravnim glasom: "Gospod, pripoveduj nam natančno, kako se je to zgodilo!" Zbrožek je stal še nekaj hipov z razpetimi nosnicami, potem pa se je zavedel, obenem pa so se njegove misli obrnile v drugo stran, ko so vstopili v sobo tovariši, ki so baš prispeli. "Kuklinovski je umorjen," so ponavljali drug za drugim. "Kuklinovski je ubit!" "Njegov oddelek se je razpršil! Njegovi vojaki blazne!" "Dovolite, gospodje, da govori gospod Zbrožek, ki nam je prvi prinesel to novico!" je zakli cal Miller. Kmalu je vse utihnilo in gospod Zbrožek je začel pripovedovati takole: "Gospodi je znano, da sem pozval pri zadnjem posvetovanju Kuklinovskega na dvoboj. Bi) sem občudovalec Kmitica, kar je res, zakaj tudi vi, dasi ste njegovi sovražniki, morate priznati, da takšnega dela, kakršno je razstrelitev onega topa, ne bi mogel izvršiti kdor si bodi. Pogum je treba ceniti tudi pri sovražniku, zato sem mu ponudil roko, toda on mi je svojo umaknil in me imenoval izdaji-co. Torej sem si mislil, naj stori Kuklinovski ž njim, kar hoče. šlo mi je le za to, da ne bi padla neslava ravnanja, če bi ravnal Kuklinovski ž njim proti viteški časti, na vse Poljake in med njimi tudi na mene. Radi tega sem se hotel na vsak način biti s Kuklinovskim. Vzel sem zjutraj rano dva tovariša seboj in odjezdil v njegov tabor. . . Povelali so nam, da ga ni. Poslal sem semkaj, ni ga! V stanu pravijo, da se ponoči sploh ni vrnil, toda niso bili vznemirjeni, ker so mislili, da je ostal vaši družbi. Eden izmed vojakov pravi, da je ponoči šel z gospodom Kmiticem v skedenj, kjer ga je nameraval peči. Jez dim k skednju, odprem vrata. Vstopim in vidim, da visi na tramu nago telo. . . Mislil sem si, privadile mraku, opazim nekako mršavo in koščeno truplo, a oni-le je bil podoben noči. . . Približam se; bil je Kuklinovski!" "Na tramu?" je vprašal Miller. "Da! Prekrižal sem se. . . Mislil sem si: čari, slabo znamenje ali kaj. . . Šele ko sem opazil trupla treh vojakov, sem razumel živo resnico. Ta strašni človek je pobil one, tega pa obesil in spekel prav po rabeljsko, sam pa zbežal!" "Do šleziške meje ni daleč!" je rekel Sadovski. Nastal je molk. Vsako sumničenje, da je bil soudeležen Zbrožek, je ugasnilo v Millerjevi duši. Toda sam dogodek ga je zmešal, preplašil in ga napolnil z nekim nepopisnim nemirom. Videl je okoli sebe naraščajočo se nevarnost, ali bolje njeno grozečlo senco, proti kateri ni vedel, kako bi se bojeval. čutil je, da ga je objela nekaka veriga nesreč. Prvi sklepi so ležali pred njegovimi očmi, a naslednje je zakrival še mrak prihodnosti. Objelo ga je tako čuvstvo, kakor da bi stanoval v razpoklem domu, ki bi se lahko zvalil vsak hip na njegovo glavo. Negotovost ga je tako pritisnila k tlom in izpraševal se je, česa naj se loti. V tem se je Vreščovič udari) po čelu. "Za Boga!" je rekel, že včeraj, ko sem ugledal tega Kmitica, se mi je zdelo, da sem ga nekdaj poznal. Sedaj vnovič vidim pred seboj ta obraz in se spominjam zvoka njegovega govora. Moral sem ga najbrže kje videti na kratko in v temi zvečer, to mi vse roji po glavi." Tu si je začel treti z roko čelo.

Toda stare čednosti ostanejo, in varčevanje je zopet pripoznano kot edino zdravo sredstvo prosperitete. In ni samo čednost, ampak je tudi pametno biti varčen. In s povratkom stare, prave čednosti, se je pričelo staro uporabljanje poulične železnice. "Kaj mi vse to pomaga?" je rekel Miller. "Topa ne zlepijo več skupaj, gospod grof, tudi če bi se spomnil; tudi ne oživiš več Kuklinovskega!" Tu se je obrnil k oficirjem: "Komur se hoče, gospoda, naj gre z menoj na mesto nesreče!" Vsi so hoteli iti, ker je vse popadla radovednost. Podali so jim konje in vsi so nagloma odjahali, na čelu jim general. Ko so se približali skednju, so zagledali kakih deset poljskih jezdecev, raztresenih okoli tega poslopja po cesti in po polju. "čigavi ljudje so to?" je vprašal Miller Zbrožka. "Tp morajo biti Kuklinovskega. Pravim vam, da je ta so-drga kar zblaznela." Rekši je začel Zbrožek kimati enemu izmed jezdecev. "Pojdi sem, pojdi sem, živo!" Vojak je pridirjal. "Ali ste vi vojaki Kuklinovskega?" "Da!" "Kje je ostali del polka?" "Razpršili so se. Pravijo, da nočejo več služiti proti Jasiji gori." "Kdo pravi?" je vprašal Miller. Zbrožek mu je raztolmačil odgovor. "Vprašaj ga, gospod, kam so šli?" je rekel general. Zbrožek je ponovil vprašanje. "Ne vemo," je odgovoril vojak. "Nekateri so šli na Šlesko. Drugi so govorili, da gredo služit samemu Kmiticu, ker enakega polkovnika ni ne med Poljaki, ne med Švedi." Ko je Zbrožek zopet raztolmačil Millerju vojakove besede, se je ta globoko zamislil.. Zares, taki ljudje, kakršne je imel Kuklinovski, so bili pripravljeni brez obotavljanja prestopiti pod Kmitičevo povelje. In v tem primeru bi lahko postali grozni, če ne za Millerjevo armado, pa vsaj za doVoz in promet. Val nevarnosti je čimdalje više naraščal okoli te zaklete trdnjave. Zbrožku je moralo isto pasti v glavo, zakaj kakor bi hotel odgovoriti na te Miller j eve misli, je rekel: "To je gotovo, da se vse punta v vsej ljudovladi. Naj le ta j Kmitic tam zakriči, in tisoči sej zgrnejo okoli njega, zlasti poj MARTIN FRANK VELIGA IZ BE U A SVEŽEGA IN POSUŠENEGA MESA SI.

At least that is what Messrs Frank A. Sodnikar and John I. Pristov claim. Here's how: Editor of The American Home Junior: Some weeks it^o, you uulonixetl on u certain Nobel Prise winner, the strawberry blondwd Sinclair Lewis. Thia encomium we Received with great surprise, but since at that time the '"Ol>en Mail Column" hud been dropped, we did not make- any commendation on your article. Hut, since it is now running again, we tuke it upon ourselves to express our sentiments and criticisms. This critique reveals some features of Lewis which have never yet been expounded upon, but which are of primary interest and importance to Slovenian readers of the American Home Junior. Sinclair Lewis, considered by many, including you, us one of the greatest literary exponents of the day, is the sole author in ail America who has offered to its millions of readers a false and mock delineation of Slovenian immigrants and their decendunts. He has not done this once, but almost every book, we can say, carries some insulting remarks and anecdotes about them. Such passages as thte following prove our assertion beyond doubt: From "Main Street": "Two facing seats, overflowing with a Slovenian iron-miner's family, are littered with shoes, dolls, empty whisky bottles, bundles wrapped in newspapers, and a sewing bag. His oldest boy takes a mouth organ out of his pocket, wipes the tobacco crumbs off and ploys, till every head in the car aches." Krom 'The Man Who Knew Coo-Jidge": Well, you tuke this, for example: "There was a bunch of llunkies working for (.he Zenith Steel Company. They, all lived near each other down in Shantytown and there was a doggone sorehead Uolshevik among them thai insisted they keep up all these ridiculous and uncivilised customs they'd had back in Hungary (or is it Jugoslavia? -wherever it is that Hunktes come from) instead of reaching outward und upward and grabbing their chance to become real Americans. Well seems this fellows shack was the center for all the disaffection and lack of patriotism among the whole hunky crowd. They'd meet there, and drink beer, and talk their own language, and dance a lot of fool foreign dances, and seems his wife was actually going so far as to get up a Hunky Dramatic Association and play a lot of these Hunky plays by Gorky or whoever this Hunky playwright was." This reveals thai Sinclair Lewis presented to the American reading public the Slovenes as being a drunken, bolshevistic mob of llunkies. He calls us Htinkied. can you beat that He ridicules our national customs, our national homes, our dramatic clubs, our own playwrights, even our own language. Can a loyal and true Slovene, therefore, support a man like Sinclair Lewis 'I Another phase of his books, thai might interest Slovenes, is his radical and fanatic antipathy for religion in general, with the im moralisation of Catholicism his main objective. He is an agnostic, and every book which has been written by him upenly defames God. and speaks of Him in the most lewd manner possible. "Elmer Guntry" is the best exxample „f this. Such II notations as the following will, no doubt, verify our previous statements: From "Elmer Gantry": "You bet I believe in. the old bearded Jew God. Nobody bul Him could have made all the idiots there are in the world." His obscene references to the virgin birth are such that they are totally unfit for publication. We say this without any hesitation. Lewis is not the great literary genius he is reputed to be. As regards to his style, it is more chimerical than real. In his stories he describes scenes and places hf hurt never Hcen, or been informed about, which may account for aome of hia unnalurul viowa. Thia may aeem rathei aatound "ig, but yet it is the truth. He himself admits he has never been in a night club, and yet he attempts to portray u, |,is readers pictures of them. He writes a great deal concerning faith and morals, although he had but a mealier acquaintance with religion. Sinclair Lewis never is well informed about tilings which he writes, he permits his imagination to do,his work. One of the greatest marks or a good novel is that its characters must be pleasing to the reader and become his friends, bul Lewis paints his characters in such a way as to moke (In readers hate them. A first-class novel -rives its readers a true view of life, while he gives a distorted view. Many accuse him of considering his pocket rather than bis art. in writing. It is claimed that he is a true exponent of American life. And yet he depicts Americans to be drunken, dumb dnndiprals, not knowing where unto they come or go. Is this true? Take yourself, for instance. Don't you think this is a sordid defamation! Do his stories show true American lite as do the novels of such emminent writers as: Ferber. Wharton, Cather, Norris and Lincoln? Of course not. Any individual who supports Lewis must naturally support his two col-» leagues, Drioser and Mencken, the latter the man who so frankly denounces the institution of marriage. Lewi* is no better. Doctrines of these men tend to ' subvert civilization and not to elevate it. They are essaying to destroy the institutions which comprise civilization: as: religion, marriage: commerce and education. In one story Lewis stales that the only thing college pro-lessors teach their pupils is to wiggle their ears. We hope that this will give your readers a real semblance and aspect of Sinclair Lewis. We are no auv.it choruses, Frank A. Sodnikar and John 1. Pristav. Let's see now—who was it that remarked. "Fifty million readers e'an't be wrong." When we went into an editorial spasm anent Lewis' swivelling abilities as substantiated by the tact he is the first American to win the Nobel award, we viewed the mat-i ter from an entirely literary stand-i point, not going into m orals or j ethics. No one can question Sinclair's popularity with the interna-I tional reading public. He's putting I out stuff the people like, whether it j be for financial or artistic purposes, I and the boys in Geneva rated him oretty highly, don't you think? So : he must have some abilities. But thanks for your criticism, we hope j you'll honor us With another letter. Pennsylvania Listeners Having' Diflfieulty in Tuning In Program Clearly This week's batch of radio fan mail brings the usual number of compliments and requests from out-of-town listeners. According to the letters received from Pennsylvania listeners, many of them are having difficulty in tuning in the programs clearly. However, letters coming from the West indicate the program comes in very well there, especially around Detroit, Mich. Printed in full today is a letter front another Michigan listener, who evidently enjoys the programs immensely. Detroit, Mich,, Jan. 8, 1931. Gentlemen: The first time I ever heard the Slovenian Radio Club program was last Sunday, Jan. 4. What a surprise! Truly I never enjoyed a program as much as I did that one. In my opinion it is one of the most cleverly arranged programs in a foreign language. We do not only enjoy the music and singing, but also every word of the announcer's pleasant speaking voice. As my husband is of your nationality, you can imagine how much he enjoyed it. Although I am :not a Slovene, it was a real pleasure for me, too. During the whole program we were a bit afraid you might start to play jazz music and spoil everything, but what a relief when we heard the announcement you don't intend to play that sort of stuff! Truly, I'm so fed up with jazz music that I don't care if I ever hear it again. As we heard you also take care of requests sent in, I'm requesting one, and I sincerely hope you won't refuse it. Please will you play on the next or any program in the future that beloved "Blaue Donau Waltz"? Wishing you much success, 1 am Mrs. Louis Bratanic. Nicholas George Kratofil of Pitts burgh, Pa., says he really "goes" for Slovenian music and would like to have the orchestra play "Slovenian Waltz." From Detroit writes Miss Victoria Cadez requesting a Slovenian waltz i.t ho'nor of her mother and dad, who arc celebrating their 28th wedding anni versary Sunday. Her folks are Croatian. Radio Fan, Akron, O., would like to hear the H oyer Trio play "Dekle na sred' morja." Helen O'Block of Delmont, Pa„ writes in to tell us that last Sunday's program was the first Slovenian hour she has listened to, and though she likes it very much, finds she can listen to it only till 5:30, at which time another station comes in on the same wavelength and she is unable to tune it in clearly. Advises broadcasting the program earlier. Mrs. Onicek, local listener, would like to have the orchestra play "Sweet Jennie Lee." Also from Cleveland comes a missile written by the Misses Frances and Mary Line, who enjoy the program so much they can hardly wait until broadcast time. They assure us the wait is worth-while, however. They would like to hear more dance pieces. No particular one, for "anyone is as good as the other." Miss-Mary Arbush of Freeport, Pa., enjoys the programs immensely, though she encounters quite a bit of interference in tuning in. She would like to have more snappy polkas played. Would also like to have photos of the artists sent her. Mr. and Mrs. John Zingle of Loudon-ville, O., thank the sponsors of the program for the wonderful entertainment offered them every week. They assure us practically every radio there is tuned to the hour every Sunday. They also enjoyed Joe Sodja's banjo playing. By THE FIREMAN The present heavyweight boxing situation is in such a bad quandary it will talce quite some time before it is cleared up. On the other hand the wrestling game has so many men claiming the championship, the public is dizzy trying to keep up with them. When Gene Tunney retired from the fistic ranlc§ the last real title holder deserted the fold and since then every single heavy who has managed to go through at least two fights without kissing the canvas has tried to claim the title. None of the present so-called fighters possess records worthy of the crown and the world in general is at a loss as to whom they should present the royal robes. In fact all of them are so totally devoid of "color" there are very few successful bouts promoted nowadays. The foul-bellowing profession certainly needs new blood or ideas to draw Mr. John H. Fan to the arena and as we gather around the stove at this .junction it appears to us the only solution is to mix the two together, the fighter against the wrestler. One's as bad as the other. Two bads ought to make one good, PRETENDING Being in a light mood as I write this article I'm going' to stray from the serious side of the question of whether or not a fighter could beat a wrestler and see if I can't answer it in a h u morous manner. Suffer through this column with me and let's see the scenes which might take place in a brawl of this type. The satchel-cared wrestler would be the first to enter the ring as the fighter would naturally come in a half hour later than the set time as he'd want to worry his grip-and-grunt opponent. (This is the ac-ccpted procedure, adopted by all fighters of the first water.) The mat opponent being an uninmaginative person seems pleased with himself as he sits in his corner and doles out ear-splitting grins to loyal followers scattered throughout the hall, munching garlic balonies and other odorous foods. The resulting aroma causes the less calloused fight fans to grow wan and weak and when their favorite enters the arena they are only able to greet him with the feablest of cheers. FIRST ROUND EVEN After a brief introduction by the referee the bout starts. They meet in the center of the ring and both throw glowering looks at each other. The fans settle down in their seats, prepared for the worst. Our two heroes are slowly walking around the ring waiting for an opening, but as the ropes are fastened tightly to the poles there is no opening and they can't run out. I guess that's why the referee is there too, he holds them back in case they want to climb over the ropes. You know you have to give the people a little something for their money, you can't take them in as bad as all that. Well, the only thing thrown in the first round was a lot of nasty looks and jeering remarks from the ringsiders. SECOND—THRILLER The bell rings for the second round and both men jumped to their feet. The bell scared them. The wrestler stumbles over his own feet and his hands swing wildly as he tried to regain his balance. The fighter thinks his opponent Ls taking the njateh too seriously and looks for a soft spot to lay clown and immediately begins yelling. "Foul!" As gic is squinting on the mat in supposed agony he comes in violent contact with a tack overlooked by the workers who set up the ring. The fighter jumps up with a surprised look on his face and demanded an examination of the shoeless wrestler's toe nails. After a brief examination by the referee the grappler is given a clean bill of health and the bout continues. Just as both are ready to throw then-very best leers, a half dollar rolls out of the pocket of one of the sleeping fans and as the boxer leans over the ropes to mark the resting place of the coin, the wrestler grabs him around the waist. The fighter is very ticklish and as the beefer holds on, he laughs and squirms until he has a convulsion and dies. The referee then gets in the ring and wakes the fans up to tell them Miss Josephine Ferlin ls Modern Cinderella at Dance who won. The bugs slowly file out of the hall, vowing never again to attend another match. And they lived happily ever after, RABBIT BALL Guess I'm standing too close to | this stove here, the heat's going to my head! But let's be serious now, Jasper, and see if you can give me a hand on this one: What do you --i think of the rabbit" ball now used in Our modern "Cinderella" as found S baseball? bv the K K K girls at their Cinderella I Let's hear from some of you sand-Ball, Saturday; is Miss Josephine Fer- letters and pros on this red hot ques-lin, 730 E. 155th St. S Miss Ferlin, a petite and attractive " " ~uv brunet, was termed and featured as 1 li I HOIJiiV "Cinderella" at the dance becausc she j - was the fortunate possessor of the I J)r Qlnan Goes fop •>A,l)liittur<. tiniest feet.

Manifestations of this inference can be readily certified. by two outstanding features in the development of Slovenian sport-dom. First, and foremost is the large attendance of the Inter-Prat fames at the St. Clair Bathhouse, and the second, the overflowing' of the Willson Junior High gym last Monday evening for the American Home Junior Inter-Prat foul shooting contest. Five games have been played in the lassies leagjie so far and a total of 3,000 spectators have witnessed the Wednesday evening classics, averaging better than 500 an evening. 200 ATTF.NI> CONTEST Last Monday over 200 ardent basketball fans swarmed the Willson gym to witness the battle of charity tosses, which was copped by Nichols of the Silver Masks quintet. There's no telling just how high that figure would, be had the contest been held right in the neighborhood at the St. Clair Bathhouse. All of which goes to prove old Gus Pan will attend any event of interest concerning the lassies of sport. Probably the man best known to local followers and addicts of female sports is August M. Blepp, more familiarly known as Bob of the Blepp-Coombs Sporting Goods Co. He is to girl athletics what Max Rosen-blum is to the male brand. ORGANIZES GIRL LEAGUE Bob was first local sportsman to conceive the idea of organizing a girls' athletic league, including both Baseball and basketball. That was in 1924. In 1927, John Gourley, recreation commissioner of Cleveland, invited Bob to enter the Blepp team into the Muny league, which he readily agreed to. As it turned out' the plan was a success and had its start with 12 teams. Now, with interest in girls' athletics increasing, the league boasts a membership of 24 aggregations. JEAN SIMMS OUTSTANDING Recently Bob Blepp disbanded his class AA basketball tossers, which had won a national recognition by victories in the East, West and Canada. Incidentally this put Jean Simms. the outstanding Slovenian girl athlete, in a peculiar position, for Jean has been with his team for the past five years. But it was easy for Jean to find a berth with the strong New York Central five, where she is enjoying an excellent season at center. This he did to comply with the local municipal basketball organization, who were intent upon setting up a good girls' league. Bob's release of the stars which it took years for him to collect, has made this possible. We seriously doubt whether or not another such powerful girl team will ever be rounded together in this city. BUD WEISE& COACH All of the Blepp and B'epp-Coornbs combinations have bean managed and tutored by Bud Weiser. Much of the success the Blepp teams have had throughout this time is due chiefly to Bud, who has been active in this capacity for the past eight years. In one of their trips to Canada a few years ago, the Blepp lassies played a double-header against the leading Canadian nine before the largest indoor baseball crowd of the world, 50,000 spectators attending the feature attraction. That's something for Bob and Bud to smile about when years from now they look back and reflect an their accomplishments! BOOSTERS ROLL S. Y. M. C. FOR FOURTH PLACE Match Headlines Week's Inter-Lodge Bowling Card; Tree Choppers Meet St. Vitus Probably the best game on next Sunday's Inter-Lodge league schedule is the Collinwood Boosters-Slovenian Young Men's Club mixup slated for alleys 11 and 12. Only two games separate these two teams in the standings with SDZ quintet on top. Two other matches which need question marks in picking the probable winners are the Arcadian-Spartan and George Washington-St. Vitus fracases. Of course, the league leading teams are given the preference, but their opponents are not the type to fall down in a pinch and a tough battle is in store for the favorites, who will have to'extend themselves to the fullest if they expect to emerge in front. Another match should prove mighty interesting although the standings will not be vitally affected by the Orel-Utopian scramble. Records point to victory for the Utopians, but the Orels have been getting stronger each Sunday and may pull a surprise out there on. alley 1 and 2. Another pair which should stir up a muss is the Clairwood-Pioneer scrap, while the Comrades-Cleveland setto should be something on the same order. The palm goes to the Clairwood and Comrade quints in the pre-game dope, but with all four of them bunched in the standings it ought to be a free-for-all. Orels vs. Utopians, on 1 and 2 alleys. Arcadians vs. Spartans, on 3 and 4 alleys. George Washington vs. St. Vitus, on 5 and 6 alleys. Sokols vs. Betsy Ross, on 7 and 3 alleys. C lair woods vs. Pioneers, on 9 and 10 alleys. Boosters vs. SYMC., on 11 and 12 alleys. Comrades vs. Cleveland, on 13 and 14 alleys. ti CHOPPERS TIE FOR FIRST WITH SPARTANS SYMC Takes Pair From Leaders, While Washington Team Sweep Boosters Demshars and G o rinks Keep Tied for First NORWOODS HIT 097 SOKOLS HOLD THIRD Comrades Displace Clairwoods in Sixth; St. Vil us Takes Three; Orels Lose Once again the George Washington five steps to the front of the Inter-Lodge league, this time forcing the Spartans to move over and share the top berth with them. At present both have records of 32 wins and 10 reverses for a .762 mark. The Tree Choppers owe much to the Slovenian Young Men's Club, however, for they are the boys who dumped the leaders in their match last, Sunday. Incidentally, the SDZ quintet aided their own cause for they crept up to fourth place, just four games behind the leaders arid definitely stamp themselves as serious contenders for the title. The Young Men copped the first two tilts, 975 to 861 and 974 to 935, but dropped the last, 944 to 873, giving them an advantage of 82 pins in their 2822 to 2740 totals. Meanwhile the Washingtons were helping their own cause by registering a clean sweep against their SSCU brothers, the Collinwood Boosters. Udovieh Gets 618 Three keglers cf the SYMC squad came through with some stirring totals. Udovieh leading with 618 trailed by "Snag" Tekavec's 582 and Frank Yerse's 580. "Snag" did some fine bowling, considering the fact he is the team's sixth man, taking the place of regular Harold R. Lausche. . Always turning in good scores, Johnny Milavec again led his team with 590. With him stands Charley Wohlgemuth, of 293 fame, who crashed the maples to the tune of 565. Joe Prosek also did some consistent bowling in garnering his 546. "Big Three" Wins But to get back to George Washington-Booster clash. It was the "Big Three" which caused the downfall of the uprising Collinwood aggregation. The trio is composed of Opalek, Johnny Arko and "Lindy" Kotnik. The boys had scores of 587, 581 and 566 respectively. Decisioning their opponents by 10 points in the opener, the Tree Choppers experienced little .difficulty in the remaining two battles to take all three games. Only three 200 games were rolled in this match, Arko collecting 205 and 211, while his teammate Opalek accounted for the third with a 204 score. Krall's 551 was the Booster's best bet. Comrades Bump Champs In a battle for sixth place, the Comrades overhauled the defending Clairwood champs, coming out one game ahead in the series. An odd feature of the match was that the losers had two men well in the 600 class, while the highest scores for the victors was a 561 by Frank Fifolt. Likewise the victims had a total advantage of 123 pins. S topic Lands Third Jimmy Stepic crashed into the limelight when he tumbled the wood for a high 671 ta place himself third in the individual three-high event. He started by controlling the miner-alite for a nice 245, then fell down to a meager 171, but finished in gala fashion, turning in the high single of the day, a 255. Not to be outdone, his teammate Tony Mihelcic stayed with Jimmy with, single game; of 173. 202 and 248, for a 623 total to share the spotlight. Besides Fifolt's score, the Comrades were aided by Aiko's 556 and Smole's three fives. This match proved consistency is more valuable than one or two glaring scores. Sokols Stay in Third By taking two games from Cleveland, the Sokols were able to stay in undisputed third place. Each team had one game going into the last skirmish, but the Sokols proved too powerful a foe and pulled away from their opponents to the tone of 946 to 865, due chiefly to Tommy Jereb's 224 in the final contest. It remained for Tony Cimperman, veteran diamond sadlotter, to show the way to the rest, although his 600 was only two pins better than the mark of lead-off man, Joe Rupnik, of the Sokols. Another Tony, Mills, spilled the maples for 591. This One Close What proved to be a red hot battle was the Arcadian-Orel fracas, with the former gaining the edge by the slenderest margin. The Orels snatched the first one by some 40 pins, but could not hold the pace and gave way in the next 'one 821 to 815 and dropped the final contest by only five pins. So all in all they lost two games by only 11 pins, although they outhit their opponents 2436 to 2421. Luminaries in this nip-and-tuck affair were Jenko, Kushlan and Rev. Andrej with marks of 541. 539 and 529 respectively. St. Vitus Sweeps Pioneers Grdina's St. Vitus KSKJ's were the only other five to gain a clean sweep over their rivals. The Pioneers fell victims to the onslaught of the rising crew. Since replacing the Loyal-ites the Saints have climbed from next to the cellar berth to tenth. The highlight of the affair was Stepic's grand 625 total. His set was comprised of 172, 220 and 233. A 555 by Jimmy Meehan was high for the losers. Utopians Upset The Betsy Ross Flagmakers upset the ideals of the Utopian pinsters by taking two games from them in the only other contest of the day. The last game was so close a decision was net reached until the very last ball had been rolled down the lane to give the Flagmakers an eight-pin victory. Menech's 591 for the losers and Skufca's 577 for the winners, were come of the better scores tallied. WINS i Slovenes Show Well in P. CONTEST 1 •A-Tm,rney MAKES 13 OUT OF 20 Habs Deal D o u h I e Eagles, While Builders Take Over Riikovniks; Superiors Win By taking two games from the strong Bukovnilt Studios, while the Gorniks were doing the same to the Double Eagles the Demshar Builders kept pace with their rivals in the battle for the Norwood Home League lead. At present the two are sharing the top perch. The Builders won the first two games hands down, but weakened in the final tilt and the Photographers piled up 963 maples to take the verdict. "Ox" Kromar led the way for the Builders with his .562, while Fif-olt's 555 was best for the losers. The Gornik Habs barely managed to nose out the lowly Double Eagles in two of the three games, getting a 2598 series as compared with the Eagles' 2538. Berk with his 561 total was the Habmen's ace. His best effort was a 220 game, Joe Pozelnik's Norwood Sports reversed the count on the Grdina and Sons quintet in the best match of the week. After taking the first tilt by only three pins 826 to 823, the Sports went on a rompage in the second game and hit the wood for a 997, which gave them second in the team single standings. However, they needed most of those pins for the Morticians were doing a little smacking on their own accord and rapped out a neat 968, ordinarily good enough to win any game. The Sports slowed up in the last frame, however, and fell to an 837. while the Grdina's kept up their pace, rolling a 925 to cop the verdict. Although they lost two games, the Grdina's outhit their opponents 2716 to 2660. Slapnik led the victors with a 553 series, while Grdina carried on the cause of his team with a 561 mark. In the remaining Home League brawl the Superior Home Supplies were bested by the Slapnik Florists in two of the three games. Udovich's 572 series was best for both teams, although C. Lausche of the losers was close with his 570. High single games of the day were l rolled by Udovieh and Arko, both accounting for a 237 mark. --O- KUKA VICES WIN THREE FROM KROKARJI Topiffaj Win Two from Soves in Eagle Club Match Handicapped by two blinds, the Krokarji of the St. Clair Eagles Club lost all three games to the Kukavices in a league match last Wednesday afternoon. Frank Verbic set the pace for the winners with a big 541. Tony Grdina was next in line with 515. All games were lost by an overwhelming margin. Silver Mask Shooter Makes Last Tries Good to Win AHJ Foul Shoot One of the best turnouts to ever witness a. foul shooting contest took place in the Willson Junior High gym last Monday when the Inter-Frat girls congregated to select a queen for the 1930-31 season. After the battle was over and a check made on the data, it was known Nichols of the Silver Masks five ruled the foul shooting department of the league. The lass chalked up 13 shots out of a possible 20, finishing strong to give herself that mark and victory. After the two alloted practice tosses, Nichols started rather poorly and none figured her a chance to pass the 11 mark by her teammate Kovacic. She missed her first, second, fifth and seventh attempts, but then dropped in four in a row to give herself a mark of seven out of eleven. She muffed the next three and everybody counted her out of the running. However, she staged a whirlwind finish, dropping in her last six attempts to cop the title and the electric clock donated by Johnny Speh. Johnny himself presented the award immediately after the contest, with witnesses giving the winner a big hand. Kovacic, also of the Silver Masks, the second to toe the charity line set a mark for the rest to shoot at, ringing up 11 of her 20 attempts. Her best streak was a run of five. Incidentally the mark was good enough for place position. Although she finished only third. "Jo" Laurich of the Grdina Flashes gave the folks the biggest thrill of the evening. "Jo" was fifth in line and after making her first attempt good, missed her second and third, but then made her fourth, only to drop her fifth. Starting with her sixth she panicked the gallery by dropping in every one of her next eight. That gave her a score of 10 out of 13 and everyone was all set to hand her the trophy as it seemed 15 out of 20 would be the least she would make. However, confronted with the fact she needed only one more to tie. "Jo" blew up and missed every one of the remaining seven shots. Right on Launch's heels were her teammate, "Frank" Malovrh and little Hlabse of the George Washington squad. This pair rang up nine. The remaining counts were: Jak-lich, George Washington, 8; Suhadol-nlk, St. Ann's and Zele, Progressives, 7; Dol jack, St. Ann's and B. Lebar, Progressives, 6; Stanonik, Comrades, 4. and Spik, Comrades, 3. The last named was substituted for Snyder in a last minute change and was not fully prepared for the event. Unfortunately, oversight on the part of the Sokol and Spartans man- BRAZIS BROS. WIN FOUR Jean Siintns Leads N. Y. C. Girls to Crown; Indoor Ball to He Featured Sunday Neighborhood basketball quintets made quite an impressive showing, though none of them gained tup honors, at the P. L. A. tournament staged last Saturday and Sunday at the Public Hall Tor the benefit of the unemployed. The Brazis Bros. C bunch after taking four successive victories was put out of the running by the Etons 20 to 14. On Saturday afternoon the Brazis D team was eliminated 25 to 21 by the Minski Sports, but only after forcing the Sports into an overtime period. After spilling the LaWewood Independents, Sammy Zainec's St. Clair Merchants were eliminated Sunday by their neighborhood rivals, the Brazis Bros, in a fast and exciting C fray. Jean Simms, Slovenian basketball and baseball star, led the N. Y. C. girls to the Class A crown by looping in a total of 18 points in three games. The Railroaders incidentally trounced our own Inter-Prat Sokol girls 20 to 7 to prove they are not immune from defeat. Tomorrow and Sunday the P. L. A. will sponsor an indoor baseball tournament for the benefit of the unemployed. Among the better teams entered are the Gornik Habs, Cornelia Sports and the Favorite Knits in the Majors; Filipovics in the Minors, and the Blepp-Coombs and the Slovenian Girls in the girls' league. Admission is 50 cents and games will be run in the afternoon and evening. -O- Merchants Play Tomorrow Tomorrow at 7:15 the St. Clair Merchants meet the Excells at the St. Clair Bathhouse in a Muny C tilt.

However, as all were given the same and equal chance to participate, there is no discounting Miss Nichols' claim to the title of the "Inter-Frat. Foul Shooting Queen of 1930-31." The contest, sponsored by this paper, was the first of its kind ever held in the community and the splendid response by sport fans makes it probable the practice of holding such a contest each year will be kept up by the American Home Junior.

ALLOYS SWEEP CLEVELAND TEAMS IN SPECIAL MATCH Those St. Alloys, SSCU, of Lorain, O.,, added two more victories at the expense of Cleveland teams to their string of bowling successes at the Eddy alleys last? Sunday evening. First the male keglers of the St. Alloys delegation went out and thumped the local Collinwood Boosters in two out of three games in an inter-city SSCU match. The Saints copped the first two, but dropped the last one to turn in a 2615 series, while the Boosters were compllling a 2555 total. After the smoke from this battle had cleared away, the St. Alloys fair sex rooters tangled with the George Washington aggregation of female fans. The Saint maids managed to earn an impressive two-game victory over the George Washington lassies, getting a. total of 1779 pins to the enemies 1629. Comrades Forced Into Overtime Period to Beat Choppers; Masks Win Easily As expected, the Sokol-St. Ann tussle turned out to be the best spectacle of the current Inter-Frat league, with the St. Ann's leading most of the time, but faltering in the closing minutes to drop a 11 to 10 decision. The crowd was up in the air throughout the entire struggle and showed keen interest in the close fray. The Grdina Flashes also dropped a close one to the Spartans, giving way by one basket in the semi-final. Choppers Drop Tough One The initial battle of the evening was one between two teams who did not win a game in their four starts to date, namely the George Washington and the Comrades. Ten seconds before the quarter whistle blew, Olga Peterlin tallied the first double-decker of the evening, to put the Comrades ahead 2 to 0. Only two fouls were chalked up for the Washingtons in the next quarter, while Kodric put in another basket for the Comrades. With the count 6 to 2, the George Washington tied it at 6 all on Gor-encic's two fouls and basket and took the lead a minute later on Shenk's charity toss for the first time of the game. For a moment things were tied up again when Spek sank a foul, but Jaklic's foul again gave the Tree Choppers a two-point advantage, but a minute and a half left, Peterlin tied the count at 9 all with a beautiful side shot, which neccessitated the first over-time period of the season. Although the George Washingtons were forced to play with only four girls in the extra three minutes, they held the Comrades to five points, but lost the game 14 to 9. Outstanding players of the contest were Olga Peterlin and Snyder for the winners with four points apiece, while Gorencic tallied a half a dozen for the losers. Laurich Gets 12 Two of the more evenly teams clashed in the second feature of the evening when the Flashes collided with the Spartans. Laurich and Selan put in baskets in quick successions for the first scores of the game. Bowman gave the Spartans a 5 to 3 lead at quarter time. "Jo" Laurich, last year's leading scorer, sank two double-deckers to bring the Flashes a 7 to 5 lead. By making good a shot from the lane, Laurich raised the lead to 8 to 5. A beautiful long shot by Selan put the Spartans only one point behind their adversaries. One second before half-time Clark put one in from mid court to again place the Spartans in front. O.oening the third quarter with a neat long shot, Laurich again tallied a marker for the Grdina's. There was no more buckets until Selan registered one as the third period terminated. Again it was Selan this time, who succeeded in adding two points to their 11, giving the Spartans a three-point margin. Bowman's short shot made it 15 to 10, but Laurich cut the lead on a dribble in-shot. Mary Rode tallied the last point of the hectic battle which the Spartans copped by a 15 to 13 count. It was a nip-and-tuck battle throughout the 28 minutes of play with Laurich high-point getter, collecting an even dozen with Selan starring for the winners with nine. Sokols Eke Out Win In the feature clash of the schedule, the St. Anns and Sokols tangled for first place honors. The skirmish was not two minutes old when it was obvious that the sentric crowd of 600 spectators were intensely interested in Inter-Frat Shots By BILLY TOFANT Congratulations are in order for Nick Secolic, Silver Masks mentor, who will middle aisle it tomorrow with Miss Sylvia Koprivec. At the Spartan's carnival last Saturday night at K. of C. gym, ; the Spartan girls emerged victors over (he Comrades, 14 to 6.
