Only last week, Thursday, Feb
ruary 6, to be exact, q buncn Of
these fellows sporting the Bruins
wick-Providence colorS, fell on the
pins numerically in the intercity;
New England League, and when
the acrid smoke of battle cleared
away, 10 and behold, there stood
three of the most startling
achievements in the history of
the wooden runs, q 70O-team game,
a 1,973-team set and a 1876 individ-
ual game!
Those who were fortunate
enough to be spectators went
home with funny noises buZsing
in their heads and queer looks in
their eyes, for they had seen that
which no one had been privileged
to see before, the first "700T and
the first 1900" amaSsed by O
five-men team.
The rounded cutters can
not be given all the credit,
for proportional individual
sets have been achieved true
and again on our own alleys.
Rogovus, who had the powerful
1876 game, came down to 120 and
1913 in his other two efforts to
produce a 444 set. A three-game
total well within the reach OF
local duckpin maulers. Dam,
brosio, the anchor man, had G
412 set. Sets of that size have
been chalked up so often during
the current season that they at
tract scant attention.
What's more, that colossal TOO
included a 80 game, which neu-
tralized the effect Of that 1876
shot, while the next best effort
was lat, with 130 and 1913. Com.
monplace totals in local compe
tition.

Montagano is the same chap
who holds the 461 all-time set
record for New England alleys.
Incidentally, the Brunswick
Providence team had no trouble
in taking three games from viii
ley'S-Attleboro. whose 500 high
team game looks insignificant be-
side the massive achievements of
their opponents.
Anyway, here are the scores.

his goal q surprise victory over

Tonight, with Kessler at the

Armory, $3.50 o'clock. And, what
ever the result, it will be q game
worth watching.
KeSSIer, despite his diminu-

famed as q smartster. And
it is his cunning more than
anything else that the Eagles
must watch.
Although touted in many quar-.
ters as invincible the title-holders
must watch their step. Opposed
by players equally smart and
drilled along similar lines, they
will undoubtedly have their hands

Under Kessler's direction such

nOunceS that the senior and
junior handicaps will start
next week, with the club cham

According to Glockler, squash
racquet is more difficult game
than handball, because there is
a greater variety Of ground strokes
and the ball is stroked with a long
racquet. Therefore, the speed of
the ball is much greater. It is also
a harder test on the heart, lungs
and legs, in the opinion of Clock.

The player hits the small rubber
ball with this stick and he must
be swift with his strokes and also
try to outgueSs his opponent.
Last Saturday Glockler visited
the aviation field at Langley, Va,

GASTONIA, N. c., Jan. 10.-The
southern mill owners have started
a new wave of wage cuts. A 20 per
cent slash was announced by en-
ployees of the Piedmont Mill, at
Gastonia, one Of the Goldberg chain.
Since Gastonia workers have shown

fight, the mill manager took pains
to officially deny the news, but this
does not help the workers whose pay

cut from $21 per week to $l8, a cut

been cut from $14.30 to SLOTS. Card

but the heroic charge of the strikers
rescued several more who had been
arrested.
The marching strikers, singing

toned there, attacked, viciously
swinging their clubs. They lost the
clubs in short order and began shoot

the fight continued. The bullets
struck no one.

Wage cuts prevail in the steel in

said Andrew Overgaard, head of the
Trade Union Unity League metal
workers section. Overgaard is now

the ground for the district conven-
tions of metal workers held dur
ing February. The first is in Chi
cago, February 2. They will be
followed by a rational convention
April Sc, in Cleveland.
Overgaard spoke of the insidious
but severe wage cutting that has
been going on for some time, in
the form of speed-up, and all man
ner of naturalization schemes,
pressing the owners from all sides,
forcing more production per man,
and since the steel output has
fallen 4u per cent since NOV. L.,
1929, the unemployment is terrific.
Thousands of workers have already
been laid off.
T.U.U.L. Mobilizes.
The Metal Workers League, sec
ton of the T.U.U.L., is taking the
necessary steps to mobilize the
workers to fight against these wage
cuts, with good response from the
workers. There will be giant strug-
giles in the near future, under the
leadership of the T.U.UL. Local
leagues have already been organized
in all the main steel centers where
both Negro and white workers re-
spond splendidly to the call of Or
ganization. They recognize that the
steel industry can only be organ
lied in an industrial union based on
the shop committee system, taking
in all of the workers, without re-
gard to nationality. color or age or
