the largest edition in the % years of
its existence, containing PA pages
the largest Labor Day edition Of
any labor paper published last year
in the United States--and was made
possible because Of the friendly at
titude Of its advertisers-the mer-
chants and other business men of
this city.
Papers Feature Labor News
Two Of the largest daily newspap-
ers of this city within the year have
adopted the policy of publishing a
daily column of labor news, which
have proved wonderful circulation
getters.
The Commonwealth Club has Great
ed an industrial section, the most ac-
tive officers and members of which
are bona-fide trade unionists.
For the first time in its history the
University of California last year Of
ficially observed Labor Day and had
as the orator of the day a man who
has served as president of the Cali
fornia State Federation of Labor and
the San Francisco Labor Council.
Upon invitation, the president of
the State Building Trades Council of
California, Frank C. Macdonald, re-

department of economics of the Uni

On numerous occasions within the
past year, local business mems clubs

Union Men In City Departments
On the Board of Education, the
Board Of Public Works and in every
,other department of the city and
county government are men who have
been lifelong consistent trade union
lists.
Some merchants have found it "ad-
visable" to feature union-made goods
in their advertisements in the daily
newspapers.
The number of stores carrying a
line of union-made goods has great
ly increased.
A display of union-made goods was
one of the attractive features of the
California Industries Exposition held
in this city,,
The Labor Day celebration last
year, feature of which was pa
rade, was the greatest ever held in
San Francisco. A still greater cele-
bration viii be staged this year.
Labor Man in Congress
At the November general election,
Lawrence J. Flaherty, a union ce-
ment worker and president Of the San
Francisco Building Trades Council,
was elected to Congress from the
Fifth District by an almost unani-
nous vote.
The Mayor of San Francisco, James
Rolph, who, with the aid of organ.

two years ago, frequently publicly
boasts Of the fact that he carries
more union cards than any other man
in the country.
And 50 we could go on indefinitely

Cards Strengthen Hold on Fourth--Giants and Pi- rates Both Win-Yanks Lose Out to Indians Ruth Gets His 2Oth Momer and Meusel His 18th.

New York, Sept. 1S R-Most ma 3or league clubs were closely punched today with the bunting in the National and American circuits respectively.
 Four Boston pitchers fell under a barage of IS hits from the Buc- cancers who registered a to vic- tory. However Pittsburgh's lead remained at seven games as the Giants topped the Cubs, to 3.
 The Cardinals strengthened their grip on the fourth rung by turning out 9 to victory over Brooklyn. Dazzy Vance, Robins star twirler. was replaced by Brown In the eighth inning when St. Louis scored seven runs.
 vauce's ineffectiyeness was caused by a sore finger on his pitching hand. The Cards are one game in front of Brooklyn.
 Philadelphia trounced the Reds 5 to i. Willoughby beating Donohue in a pitching fracas. The world cham pions easily disposed of the White sox 10 to 5, but a double victory for the Athletics over the Tigers, to 2. and ' to 8, enabled the Mackmen to gain half game.
 Cleveland made sixth place more secure against the Yankees by com ing out on the long end of to 5 score in Boston. The Indians have two-g game margin on the Hugman' Bob Meusel's 29th homer of the year and Babe Ruth's goth four baggcr helped the New York team defeat the Browns. four 10 two.

EASTERN CLUBS '
 SENATOR'S MEAT
Washington Can Thank Them
 for Their Position

Washington, Sept. 19 - In it's 1925 chase for the American league gonfalon, the Washington Senators can thank the eastern clubs in gen. eral, and Boston in particular, for their present position.
 For up through the first week in September the Harris entourago had copped 37 of its 52 battles with the Atlantic area teams. This was good for a percentage of .712.
 It had tripped the Red Sox II times in 14 starts and had as many victories in 16 efforts over the Ath- letics, The Tanks were trimmed 15 times in 22 attempts.
 Find Opposition in West
 Ability to soundly trounco their leading rivals, thc Macks, also had d great deal 10 do with the fairly safe lead the Mats enjoyed as the final three weeks of play rolled around.
 Against the western clubs the Senatorial brigade had a record oi 45 triumphs and 30 defeats, a per. Ccntage of exactly 600. Cleveland proved the soft mark in that divi, sion dropping 15 out of 19 brushes 10 the Griffmen.
 Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis inc Nationals found especially tough picking. For In SC clashes with those three teams they could win but 30. Detroit and St. Louis were beaten 10 times in 19 tries, and the White Sox as many in IS.
 As will be noted the Mats hadn't dropped behind in their seasona performance against any team and against four of them were far out in front.
 At the time these statistics were compiled the Senators had a per. centage Of GAG, having won s. games to 45 whippings, Their rec. ord against eastern clubs was al. most 70 points more than their en. tire league mark. showing Harris and his cohorts made the most ot their opportunities in games witt the clubs of their sector.
 Can Accrue Nice Record Of course, trimming the lowly Red SoX and Yankees often was tc he expected. But in manhandling the Mackian troupe the Mats vir. tually killed pair of birds with one rock. For every time they beat the Athletics it meant a full game advance over their staunchest com pCtitors.
 Judging from performances thus far, the Senators are mighty apt tc encounter bit of tough sleddna against the western clubs this month. This is especially true con. corning the tits with Detroit, St Louis and Chicago,
 By getting the better of each ol those clubs, the Nationals should finish the campaign with record for the season of not having dropped a series to any opponent They hope to turn the trick, too.

dom a day passes but that he turns in some brilliant play and doesn't make a bit of fuss about it.
 Because of the ease and grace of his play it took Peckinpaugh some time to be thoroughly appreciated and he is coming into his own at a rather late day.
 unqueStionably, Peckinpaugh with Harris, is the balance of the Wash ington club. Remove him from the intield and the team is a different aggregation. That was conclusivels proved in the world series last year.
 Washington's ability to beat Phila- delphia this year has been the big edge for the world champions in their struggle to repeat. Peckin- paugh has saved a number of these games by miraculous plays.

Chicago, Sept. 19 PS-The base on balls, stolen bases, sacrifice hits and squeeze play, formula that cata- quilted the Chicago White Sox into lasting fame as tho "hitless Won- ders of 1906" no longer wins many ball games, In these days of the lively ball, it takes a hitting club to ilirt with a ponnant.

 FAVORITE STUNT
Many Star Athletes Get Away
 With This
(BY BILLY ENANS)

Playing a hunch is much favored stunt in sport when things are breaking badly,
 Even so taCiturn an individual as Connie Mack stoopS to such sys- tenn when everything goes wrong.
 When the Athletics met Washing ton in four-game series starting Labor Day, it was apparent to Mack that any hope to stick in the run ming depended on making q sweep of the series.
 At the time Washington enjoyed a seven-game lead in the pennant race and the Athletics had lost 10 straight games.
 Perhaps the most inconsistent pitcher on Mack's club this year has been Lefty" Grooves. Despite q world of stuff, Grooves has been an in-and-outer, largely due to lack of control.
 Taking the first game of an im- portant series is considered big edge. Manager Harris of Washing ton entrusted the job to his pitch ing ace, Walter Johnson. Connie Mack put it up to the rookie Lefty" Groves.
 The selection of Groves surprised, but in making it Mack was playing

Freak Record

1t so happens the first game that Groves was able to finish and win in the American league was played on the morning of Decoration Day. He beat New York at Philadelphia.
 His next complete game was pitched on Fourth of July in New York. He battled Heroic Pennock for 15 innings to 10 defeat. Up until Labor Day of this year the record of Groves showed that he had never been defeated in a morn- ing holiday game.
 It was only natural that Manager Mack in an effort to break the jinx i that had followed his team over a period of 10 consecutive defeats should play hunch.
 So Groves, who had not started a game since the Fourth of July, was given the assignment of stopping Washington and breaking the losing streak of the Athletics.
 Mack no doubt figured that two months rest plus the fact that he | had never lost morning holiday game made Groves the logical selec- ton.
 Groves turned in most creditable performance, He was beaten, 2 to 1, but it was the best pitched game the Mackmen had received in some time.
 A base on balls was the wedge that produced the first Washingt on run, while a home run drive by Joe Harris was the margin of victory. | The hunch had failed.
