GIANTS READY
TO MAKE STAB
AT TOP RUNC
Long Stay At Home Will
Decide Pennant Chances
OF McGraw's Men.
BY WILLIAM J. DUNN

NEW YORK, July 8. W.Pt-The
New York Giants are back at the
Polo Grounds today for a protratt-
ed stay, ready to make serious bid
for the National League leader
ship.
The Giants are faced with the
necessity not only of beating the
other contending clubs in the las.
half of the season, but also of best
ing a schedule that decidedly fav-
ors Pittsburgh and Chicago. Their
pennant chances may be decided
within the next three weeks.
The Giants, in third place, four
and half games behind the lead
ing Pirates, have only 40 games
remaining with the weaker second
division clubs. Chicago has 80 and
Pittsburgh, 50, including today 5
contests
Accordingly, it is imperative that
Charlie Stoneham s bread winners
make the most of their 16 day stand
under the shadow of Coogan 5
Pluff. Unless the Giants come ont
of this on top of the heap it will be
hard to picture them coming home
in front next September.
Brooklyn opposes the Giants to-
day before moving along the Flat
bush for a long stay of its own. To
morrow the first of the s., western
clubs, Cincinnati, reaches the Polo
Grounds for a four game series.
Tfen follow Chicago, St. Louis and
Pittsburgh, in order, bringing with
them sufficient power to test the
pennant mettle of any team.
If the Giants clear the Brooklyn
hurdle today-a trick that has
proven increasingly difficult fer
them this year-they will have the
Cincinnati series for a "breather'
before tackling the stronger west
ern clubs.
Chicago. second to face McGraw 5
men, is playing consistent baseball
at present.
ST. Louis has been in terrific
slump, fighting vainly against a
losing streak that has cost the
Cardinals 10 straight games. They
are due to swing back into form
before many more days, however.
Pittsburgh, leading the league
and winning consistently, looks IS
tough as any team in the league to-
day and while battling the Cubs
and Cardinals, McGraw will have
to hold back little strength ior
the final series.

reported here today.
Failure to keep his team in the
first division during the first half

decision over Kid Lencho last night
in the 10 round main event at the
open air arena here. The fight was
fast and furious.
Lencho made a number of spec
tacular rallies which kept the fans
yelling but there was never any
doubt after the fourth or fifth round
but that the black boy from San
Berdoo would win the decision and
possibly score a knockout
1t looked as if Lencho was due
for the count toward the end of the
ninth round, but the veteran cover
ed well and weathered the storm.
The Texas Mexican was down twice
in the second frame and the same
number of times in the seventh.
Leneho's style was just right to
make the colored boy look good.
Black was able to score repeatedly
with right hand uppercuts to the
body and chin. Lencho rushed and
mauled and occasionally shot a
wicked right hand to the side of
the head.
The bout was replete with unin-
territorial low blows and at times
both boys were guilty of heeling
and thumbing. Both also used their
elbows. Referee Bill Tackett warn
ed them several times but they
were fighting too earnestly to both
er about little thing like that.
Therefore Bill let them go to it.
The crowd was well pleased, not
only with the main event but with
the whole show. Bobby Pacho scor-
ed technical knockout over Joe
Borolo in the fifth round of the
windup; Frisco Linda earned a
close decision over Chalkie Wright
in the four frame special event and
Joe Hernandez took all four stanzas
of the opener. -
Pacho and Borolo, who substitut-
ed for frankie Quigley, fought
tough draw for four rounds. In the
fifth series of hard rights to the
stomach and left hook to the liver
folded Borolo up and he went down
ON one knee, a very sick fighter
In the speeia; event Wright step
ped out in the lead the first two
rounds showing plenty of stuff but
the Filipino, Frisco Linda, finished
strong and caught the eye of the
referee. The bout might have been
easily called draw.
Fernandez had an easy time with
Bennie Valdez in the opener. Only
twice was Joe in trouble, but he
came through in great shape. II
looked like Valdez was due for the
count in the final frame but he
too managed to pull through.
In the main event Leneho started
by. rushing across the ring planting
two hard rights to Blacks head.
Black came back with rights to the
BODY. The round was even. Lcncho
took bad body beating in the
second. going to the canvas twlce
as the result of left hooks to the
stomach and slipping to the floor
third timey
The fourth was even and Lencho
took the fifth. Black won the next
two sending the Texan to the mat
twice again for short counts. Lencho
tkoo the eighth by slight margin,
Black the ninth and the tenth.
Harry Woodbury. is planning to
use heavyweights i'll the near future
and may line up two good bouts
between the big fellows next week
unless he finds someone he believes
has a chance to beat frankie Are
gon.
frankie is scheduled to make one
more fight here before he filis
several engagements back east.
The house was small, just about
half the size of the previous week.

STRIKE VOTE TAKEN
BY RAILROAD LABOR

Washington.-Several thousand or
ganlzed shop men on the Southern
Railway system have taken a strike
vote to enforce wage demand. When
the ballots are counted, if favorable.
officials will be empowered to set the
date for general work suspension.
On May 10, last year, the shop men
asked the management for confer
ence to discuss wage increases. The
management replied with an offer to
amend working rules and insisted that
both proposals be jointly negotiated.
The workers rejected this offer on
the ground that it was not a part of
the agreement between the two
parties. The workers carried the case
to the United States Board of Media
ton, and have had several conferences
with the railway officials.
In statement issued with the
strike ballots, the union officials say:
"The management takes the posi-
ton that the Southern is unwilling
to grant a voluntary wage increase,
urging that they must be ordered by
a governmental tribunal to increase
wages; that unless so ordered they
will be subject to criticism.
THE management has at no time
discussed the merits of our request.
They have studied the case decided
by the arbitration board in the New
York Central's shopmen's case, but
have rot discussed with us any facts
or figures which they may have to
support refusal to grant higher
pay"
"The Railway Labor Act requires
a real effort be made by both parties
to reach an agreement. Neither
mediation nor voluntary arbitration
are to be resorted to until after all
possible and proper efforts by the
parties themselves have failed to pro-
duce an agreement between them. The
has refused to recede
from their position"

Session End Sunday

The concluding sessions of the con-
vention were held Sunday afternoon.
Thus the sixth national convention
became a matter of history in the de-
velopment of American workers edu-
cation. Three things seem to have
been clearly presented and at least
in part settled-first, that the Amer
lean labor movement recognizes that
the workers education movement is
an increasing source of strength and
power, and desires to take a greater
share in its development. Secondly,
that the basis for effective service is
recognition by workers education en-
terprises Of the primary function of
trade union to make and execute
its own policy. Thirdly, that within
each workers educational enterprise
there is guaranteed freedom for ex-
perimentation and scientific inquiry.

washington and Alexandria. It Is pre-
sumed that this road will be widened
at least 10 feet and that several I'M
necessary curves will be eliminated.
Although the funds for the two
State projects will not become avail
able before July !, the widening Of the
Jefferson Davis Highway presents q
problem to county officials that will
either speed up one OF their own road
projects or result in its delay until
after the State program has been
completed.
This problem IS in the planned
widening Of Mount Vernon avenue
from Hume Station, at the northern
limits of Potomac, to Columbia pike.
It involves an expenditure Of between
$11O, 900 and $115,000, and will result
in the rerouting of all Southern traffic
over the road that is to be widened by
the State, necessitating the completion

Mount vernon avenue project alone in
wolves as much money as was spent by
the county during the past year ano
is considered by officials to be but
part of what is expected to be the big
gest road building year that the county
has ever experienced.
Even though the State has done more
than in the past for the county. there
remain two projects Tor Wnlcn no pro-
vision has been made and which are
considered of utmost Importance by
county officials.
The principal one of these Is the pro-
posed Lee boulevard, which is to run
from the Virginia end of the new Me-
mortal Bridge to Falls Church. Plans
for the bridge required that IL De nm,

Of one road before the other 10 started.
The other county project is the pro-
posed widening of the Wilson boule-
ward from Rosslyn through Clarendon
and possibly beyond. This road runs
parallel to the completed end of the
Lee highway, hence it will be possible
to detour trafic from the former road
to the latter on one end and from the
latter to the former at the point where
the Lee highway widening is to COM
mence. If it is decided to build both
roads at once.
