Columbus ha won three game and tonight's victory gave th Leaf two win in the little world series. and to arbitrate if both parties to ft dispute -agree, and to maintain continuously a machinery for effectiv Industrial relations to case where the principal parties cannot quickly and peacefully agree seem fitting, proper and reason-sbls that this system should be given ft fair trial" Emphasizing' that "neither capital nor labor can or should be coerced," Miss Perkins said that to make th peace agreements truly effective "both employers and workers must turn to these methods willingly." Announced plans to have the Federation convention picketed by negroes to their campaign for "economic equality" failed to materialise up to the time Miss Perkins spoke.

8. A better blocking and charging State College Wolfpack will face Wake Forest In a Big Fiv football game here Saturday night at o'clock on Riddick Field. Determined that the Wolfpack should do better blocking and charging against Wake Forest than ft did against Davidson last week, Coach Hunk Anderson has spent much time this week on these important fundamentals. The State backs, headed by Ray Rex, Venice Farrar, Robert "Red" McAdams, Howard Bardes, and Roscoe Roy, have worked diligently all week on their blocking. One reason advanced for State's not scoring more than one touchdown against Davidson was that the Wildcats' secondary defense was not taken out of plays.

Time and time again State's runners got by the 'Cat line only to met several Davidson backs on the other side. The linesmen, from the first stringers down, have worked hard and seriously on their charging, and the big Wake Forest line Is due to have some gapping holes torn In Its side when the Tech forwards begin to charge.

LOUIS, Oct 8. OP) Frankie Frisch, fiery manager of the St Louis Cardinals, who sang a song of hate 24 hours ago, was singing ft love song tonight Instead of storming and raging, he professed love for everybody to St. Louis, and Paul Dean to particular, after his Cardinals trampled over the Jittery Tigers. He was immensely proud of the performance of the younger Dean to holding the Tigers to check although they twice had the base loaded. Hanging over the club house door Is a big white sign, painted to flaming red letters and bearing the Inscription made famous by Blemdy Ryan as came to the rescue of the 1933 Giant.

It reads: "They cannot beat us." Frisch pointed to it and exclaimed: "Boy, they alnt going to do it either." Then he launched into praise of the gangling Paul Dean. When the Cardinals reached their dressing room they swarmed around Paul Dean, yelling and slapping him on the back. Pepper Martin was the first to greet him, yelling, "Nice going, old kid." Dean set his 9-foot $-lnch frame down on bench to front of his locker, declaring he never was so tired in his life. He was dripping perspiration and puffing like ft race-horse. "They didn't give me much trouble at any time." he said.

"I was faster the last two Innings than I was at any time during the game. I dont hold no ball club cheap and that's the reason I bore down." Someone wanted to know whether he was nervous pitching his first world series game to his freshman year to the majors. "Me nervous? Not me," he said. "There wasn't nothing to get nervous about. I wasnt right during the first part of the game.

I had the lousiest curve today I ever had to my 'life." Pepper Martin, Cardinal third baseman, heard that remark and yelled over: "Boy, but you certainly had ft fast one." Dean continued: "I guess th reason I wasnt working so good Is because rve had too much rest I ain't pitched a game In six days." Determined to win at any cost Manager Cochrane decided upon revamped lineup to throw against th Cards tomorrow. "We're going back to the lineup had a month ago, with Green berg batting sixth Instead of fourth," he said. "We're going to start swinging tomorrow and start hitting. "We've got to do It ha vent been getting any place because we havent been hitting, but remember this, we are never down until the last man Is out." With a shrug of his shoulders, he explained away today's Tiger loss by saying: "You cant win without hit. We had plenty of chance today.

A couple of long file would have given us two more runs. It's not over yet" Loyola Team Whips Mercer- Foe, 21 To 0 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 8. (P) A rejuvenated Loyola Wolf Pack went Wild In the first half of a sparsely attended grid battle here tonight and turned to a 31 to 0 victory over Mercer. Loyola, smarting over Its consecutive defeats at the hands of Rice and Birmingham-Southern, turned on a steam rolling, machine-like attack to the first quarter to pound down the Mercer opposition and score its first touchdown when Billy Roy raced eight yards through right tackle and then booted the extra point In the second half, Loyola's line again opened gaping holes through the Bear's forward wall, shoved their tackles aside, and Roy, "Pel" Hughes, Tommy Dalgle and' Paul Jones waltzed through and down the field where Tommy Daigle punched over two more scores, each followed by successful extra point conversions by Roy.

Mercer was outgained from start to finish during the game and pushed completely Into its own territory by determined Loyola defense, headed by Jimmy Toung, sensational sophomore right end, Matt Ballatln at tackle and Capt. Frank Sullivan, backing up the line. The second half was consumed almost entirely with kicking battle between Roy and Alan Bloodworth, who carried the bulk of both the offensive and defensive work of the Bears. Bloodworth. wielded Mercer's only really threatening offensive instrument an aerial attack to Gene Warlick, end, and Jack Morris, sub fullback.

Bloodworth did the bulk of Mercer's running attack, too, which did not gain mentionabl yardage through Loyola's defense. Mercer gained most of its eight first downs through its passing. Loyola, on the other hand, ran up Its It first downs through wide line punctures. The field was wet from an all-day drizzle, though no rain fell during the gam. A small crowd, approximately 3,400 fans, attended.

The strike and revolution was the sixth major uprising the second Spanish republic has faced since It was founded In May, 1931. Communists, Socialists, and syndlco-anarchists had made common cause against the conservatives. Scattered reports Indicate th revolutionary strike had almost completely paralyzed commerce, industry and transportation at many places in Spain. Minister of Interior Aloy Alfaro, In an effort to reduce casualties, ordered all persons off the street of Madrid, while soldiers, police and assault guards patrolled the city. Machine guns peered menacingly from the roofs of public buildings, residences and other strategic points and heavy guards protected the homes of members of the government.

In several clashes during the day and at dusk machine gun and rifle fire rattled through the streets of the capital The Associated Press correspondent at Ovledo reported sharp fighting in Astu-rias, which he described as completely paralysed by the strike, had cost the lives of 20 guardsmen In addition to the unknown casualties suffered by the rebels. Sharp fighting occurred at Elbar, munitions center which the reds captured only to be evicted by troops; at Bajadox, where Marguerite, Nelken, socialist woman member of deputy, led rebels, and at San Sebastian, and other cities. Catalonia, long agitated by its desire for Independence instead of its present autonomy, saw the separatist flag raised at an estimated 10 villages. In addition to Elbar the radicals, In the course of the day, captured five cities and villages, only to lose them all In vigorous fighting with Spain's picked assault guards, police and soldiers. Madrid's general hospital also was seized by the revolutionaries and, converted into an impromptu fort, around which the battle surged.

The rebellious strikers directed their first efforts at communications, cutting trunk telephone and telegraph wires at many points and calling out unions of workmen employed In subways, street cars, taxis, and railroads.

It was quickly put down, with scores killed and A second extremist revolt was crushed In January, 1932, after more bloodshed, but th xtremltA-the Socialists, Communist and Anarcho-syndicalists attempted revolution again one year later, again without success and again with more than 100 lives lost The fourth revolt by the radicals occurred In December, 1933.

Lerroux and his political follower (Rlcardo Samper Ibanes), have ruled Span since but their path has not been easy. Major problems confronting the republic, problems which have created growing bitterness In recent months, have been working out of an acceptable agrarian policy; the satisfying of Spanish provinces demanding their Independence of the Madrid government such as Catalonia, Ga-licla and the Basque regions, and the revolutionary activities of left and right wingers. The present revolution finds Communists, Socialists and Syndico-Naf chists, together with the more extreme members of the left parties, lined up against the right and the center, which together have over three-fourths of the seat In the chamber.

(Saturday.) A sudden coup d'etat to unseat the Spanish government after its forces have been worn out by scattered, minor clashes is the strategy of revolutionists, a rebel leader told The Associated Press today. "We have sufficient arms and men for a real uprising," the leader, who is ft member of the revolutionary committee, said. "But our plans call for worrying the troops with unimportant clashes, such as occurred yesterday, until we have their nerves on edge and their morale shattered. "Then there will be sudden attack. In which we will throw the entire strength of our massed forces against the authorities.

"We are proceeding calmly, so haste won't wreck our plans, ft It did those of the socialists of Austria. "If we do not win now our plans will suffer a setback of at least ft decade. Perhaps we will never again have such an opportunity as is presented now. "We are willing to risk our lives, but wanton sacrifice will be obviated if our strategy works out as planned."
