lth h-lnning Rally Wins for Blues Ouer Bisbee Bees

| would predict that perhaps the
next generation will see such feat.
CAS- in the case of any other COM
petition, temperament plays a great
part in discus throwing. Houser is
at his best when under the strain
of having to produce. You might
meet him at social function with
out knowing he ever had on track
suit and talk with him all evening
and he would never mention the
fact that he is even a discus throwr
er. Yet, let him get onto the field,
and he becomes as fuIl of confi-
dence as a champion fighter.
ION the day Fouser competed
against Stanford this year he found
Glenn Hartranft, former Stanford
weight man and at that time world
record holder, was to act as meas
uring judge for the discus. Hart
ranft is now with the olympic club
of San Francisco Houser had set
the record at 1876 feet IA inches
in 1875. Hartranft had beaten that
mark only a week later by throw
ing 157 feet, l 5-8 inches. Houser
went out at the Palo Alto track and
uncorked such powerful throw
1t was a coincidence that Hartranft
was the man to announce that his
record had been broken. Glenn con-
graduated Bud warmly after the
event"

The BiSbee Bees Outhlt the locals
and fielded in perfect style until the
seventh inning, but few miscues
caused their downfall. Kucera, PERI,
Weiss, Pittman and Charity did the
heavy stick work for the Bees, while
Pereya and Lefty" Williams contrib
uted the most hits for the locals. All
the Blues batters hit safely at least
once, except Lindsey and Collins.
Chester who relieved Collins as
a nice hit just when it was needed in
the seventh inning rally.
The visiting team looked good yes
terday and had plenty of fight. With
a five-run lead in the sixth inning it
began to look almost hopeless for the
locals but as in former games, the
Blues came through with flying col
ors toward the final innings of the
game.
Lefty" Williams, hurting for the
locals, hit fast ball down to Weiss
and it glanced off his shins, rolling
into left field, while two runs crossed
the rubber. This break gave Douglas
an opportunity to stage a rally
Weaver, Herbstreith and Chester hit
in succession.
The same teams play again today at
$3.50 p. m. The game, play by play:

BUD HOUSER IS

versity of Southern California track
in the world today" in the opinion
of his coach, Dean Cromwell.
weighing only 1873, comparatively
light as performers in this speciality
CO." Houser, Cromwell points out,
has rhythm to the nth degree in
his delivery of the discus, fact that
has brought him to the pinnacle of
discus trowers today.
HE holds the four greatest discus
records in existence" his coach went
on. .'"The lowest is the inter-col-
legiate record of $50 feet, IA inches,
made at Philadelphia last year. Next
is the Olympic mark of 151 feet
5 IA inches, established in Paris,
in 1924. The National A. A. u
record he holds at 1876 feet, inches
made at San Francisco last sum-
mer. On April 8 of this year Houser
set a new worlds record mark at
15S feet, 1 ga inches in Palo Alto
, Calf.
Last fall l made a prediction that
Houser would break the worlds
record this season. I placed the
mark at 100 feet for him and 1 still
believe that he will do it. I can
think of no greater achievement fol
him than to reach that mark at the
50th annual National Intercollegiate
in Cambridge on May 2S and 2.
Incidentally I do not believe that
100 feet will be the limit of discus
tossing. I believe that the ultimate
throw will be around 1SO feet and
although that mark will not be
reached during the span of my life

"Glad to see the Babe is going
good"
Since the opening of the season I
have heard that remark many times
The speaker in each intsance was
some big league ball player, discuss
ing the sensational showing of the
Yankees and the fine all-round play
of Ruth.
Babe Ruth is mighty popular with
his fellow ball players, which after
all is the true test. They are glad
to see him come back so strong The
players realize the Ruthian craze
brought in more money at the gate
than any other thing in the history
of baseball.
With Babe Ruth among the elite
baseball has it's best drawing card
working again. 1t means more money
for everybody to have the Babe step
ping out in front.

Once a fad for the masculine sex,

Already two of Americas best wo-

While the nonunion carpenters

of temporary work until the end of
the strike. One anthracite coal
miner in our class has explained the
conditions there and the class has
written the news report thereof.
Among the other subjects covered
are the /. L. c. w. U. convention;
the AmaIgamated Clothing Work
ers' Union protest meeting; the
marine workers; stock yard work
ers, radio workers, etc. Some of the
writeups have been published in

The class now meets every Mon
day between eight and nine p. m. in
stead of nine and ten. This was
done to eliminate a conflict with the
American History class of which
some worker correspondents are
members. The change will make it
more convenient for the shop nuclei
members to come to classes immedi-

The eolored workers are also very

A drive will soon be started in the
Mahoning valley against the attempt

police bill in the Ohio legislature in
this coming session.
"Bill" White spoke in Toronto to
the steel workers of that place at their
open meeting, on the police bill and
the need Of organization and strength
ening the Amalgamated Association.
There seems to be revival in the
desire for organization among the
steel and iron workers of the valley.
They have been subject to so many
cuts in the price per ton on their
work that they are in a spirit to re-
sist, and they see that the only way
to meet these cuts on price per ton
lies In organization.

Unorganized Workers
in Picture Frame Shop
Have Miserable Life
BY a Worker Correspondent.

l work in picture frame factory
known as the Borrin Picture Frame
company at Cicero and 18th street.
This shop is operated under open shop
conditions. The boss and the foreman
are the supreme rulers of the workers
there. They are the Flaw" of the
shop.
The wages are very low. A begin
ner gets $13 a week. Those who are
in the trade more than Is years and
are exceptionally fast workers re-
ceive what is regarded a high wage
in that trade $50 for 5O-hour week.
The ventilation in this shop is a
source of agony for every one in the
shop. Yet nothing is done about it.
Smoking is not allowed even in the
wash room, not for safety reasons,
hut because time is lost. When a
worker goes into the wash room, the
foreman times him and watches that
he does not stay there too long.
Hiring and firing goes on. without
interruption. No one is allowed to
talk to his neighbor. He is fired if he
does. When the boss gets a big or
der everybody must work overtime
without extra pay. To refuse means
to lose the job A shop mate of mine
could not work overtime because his
wife was sick. He explained he had
to be at home. The next morning
when he came to work the foreman
handed him his check. He was fired.
This is how conditions are in shops
where the workers are unorganized.
The thing for us to do is to organize
ourselves into a union. That is the
only way that we will be able to put
forth demands for better conditions.

talk that's the word, on their respect

discussions arise which require an ex.

they express themselves in a vague
