| SPORTS HE busy-business man does not fatten his pocketbook alone. Good grb and plenty of it, swells his waist-line too! And fat shortens his life! So the busy businessman who | sweats his labor goes to thé gymna- | sium to labor to sweat on his doctor's | advice, Thruout the country gym- nasiums are doing good business jn | | Who in the hell is [ service schools need the patriotic pageant most, You see, this isn’t only football, The flag will be ‘raised, thé Army and Navy and everybody pre- sent will salute the generals, Senators and Kluxers, And on the pretext of sport the boys will be pickled in pa- triotism, Chicago staged the Huchar- istic Congress, Chicago will now stage the Army-Navy game. So you seo comrade Bugs, if by chance any of you come thru Chicago and you smell what you think is the stockyards, you might be wrong. It may be some thing else. ROMANY MARIE Sarie? A vassal queen with a tinsel crown these new kind of “sweatshops” for | bosses, Meanwhile, the busy business man’s busy, bustling, buxom bride is alzo | gotting—ahem!—-plump. So there are | not only sweet shops, to fatten Lady | Boss bui also “sweatshops” to slim | her down. The Dlinois Woman’s Ath- letie Club reports “Reduction is the motif of the urge which prompted the women, among whom were Many s0- cial leaders, to avail themselves of the elub’s new gymnasium.” The boss and his wife ate both for reduction. They love it! They sweat the workers and reduce wages. Re to sweat to reduce. And then some bugs think the Bolsheviks are crazy when they call this a cockeyed world! - eee: Id, some of our baseball bugs around Oakland, Cal, take a peep at the ball team of the Carmen’s Union 192? This labor organization has joined the Spalding Winter League made up of Bay District ama- teur teams and we get the news thai they are going good. We are for labor sports. .There is always room for their doings ip this column. But brother Carmen—what’s the idea? Why Spalding Winter League! Why not a Labor Winter League? Let’s« “get workers’ sports! . * s AYBE the Bay District reminds ng of Jack London. Do any of you remeniber his book “The Game”? Years and years ago when this Bug oecasionclly swang a towel in the corner of some poor amateur pug who fought for medals that turned green ia the spring and got walloped so hard he turned green all over, this Bug read “The Game.” The book gave this Bug an awful wallop. If we recall it, it took the lid off pro prise-fighting and gave the world a whiff of its un- savery aroma, it any of you fight- bugs remember it, why not send us a hundred words or so for the benefit of the other bugs who would like to read Jack London’s story on the gentle art of growing cauliflower ears and trimming suekers. © *.° ber ‘Workers’ Herald of South Af- rica advises one of tts Negro read- ers that professional boxing was never allowed in the Transvaal amongst native people. The opportunities in sport were reserved for the supposed- ly superior race. In Russia where they have a workers’ government, all races have the same privileges. May- be imstead of starting to fight to be allowed to fight, it would be a good idea for Negro workers to fight for a workers’ government so they get the same privilege to fight as others, Not a bad idea is it? os * . dy oan staged the greatest rell- gious pageant, It will now stage the greatest educational-patriotic piff_e. For the Army-Navy football | game on Nov. 27, 500,000 applica: | tions for tickets have been received. | The price of seeing the educated toes { of the Army and Navy kick the in- flated pigskin to the tune of Yankee Doodle would bankrupt a Bolshevik. The price of pressing the seat of your [ pants on the eold cement benches will | range from. ten to fifteen berries. (Cushions extra!) The gate will bring a total of some $630,000. The stadium seats 100,000 people. Sixty thousand of these will go the “service schools.” Only 40,000 go to the “public.” It seems the boys in (ae a aera duced wages fatten profits, Fat pro vats fits fatten bosses. So they also have | And al! moron-minded democrats ‘ Her husband is a worthless clown |; Her wretched subjects are trodden down Their blood and sweat stain her silken gown, What In the hell wants Marie? She wants the gold of the Dollar Land That would strangle with its bloody hand All rebels who dare for freedom stand, Why do they all hail Marie? . it’s because the jazz-mad plutocrats And the kings of pork and crude oil Love to lick the boots of aristocrats. —ADOLF WOLF.
