HOOVER URGED
|. To CALL WAGE
CONFERENCE
Green Resolution Demands
Pay Scales Maintenance
And Prevention of ldIenesS

\ NEW YORK, July IS U.S).
A strong appeal to President
Hoover to call an industrial con-
ference to maintain the present
wage scale and prevent the spread
cf unemployment has been made
by William Green. president Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Green's recommendations
were embodied in a resolution
unanimously adopted at the Thrift
eth convention of the Interna-
tional LongShoremen'S ASsocia-
ton, which he addressed at the
Hotel Victoria.
Unrest reared
Emphasizing the need of imme-
diate drastic action if growing
social unrest is to be stopped, he
urged that a five-day week be
adopted in industry to prevent
further unemployment. He said
in part:
81 can't see why, II it was
proper to appropriate billions
for war, in an emergency Of
this kind, perhaps more menac-
ing to the safety of our inStitu-
tiOns and our republic, it would
be improper to appropriate bill
lions to carry on constructive
enterprises SO that millions Of
men may have work.
Clashes Cited
ct is not good for the re- =,
public when citizens clash with
the police and the armed forces
of the nation, as they have
been doing in the coal fields
and in the textile centers. Evi-
IDENTIFY there is a state of mind
among the masses which must
be considered without delay.
1--WE are now facing a third
winter of unemployment. Our
nation has never been put to
that test before"

To LEAD
BATTERS

Babe Ruth. famous outfielder
of the New York Yankees, has a
new ambition-to lead the Ameri-
can League in batting.
He wants the home run crown
again, too, of course, but that's
something he sort Of takes for
granted. He knows he can hit
'em further than anybody else,
and if somebody happens to come
up with a bigger total, as Hack
Wilson did last year, why that's
just a mistake in the figures, or
something. 1t doesn't worry or
annoy him.
But the league batting leader
ship, that's different. That's an
open contest. something he's got
to battle for to win. Morgan and
Goslin and ManuSh and Gehrig
and ReynoldS-they can compete
with him and perhaps beat him.
Moreover. back in his mind
rests the idea that q batting
championship at this stage of
the game would be the most
noteworthy achievement of his
career.
In some aspects. it would be,
too. A championship, after 20
years of competition, would be an
all.time mark.
In home runs, nobody had
chance with the Babe there in his
hey-day. His physical eqLipment.
bulk, strength, coordination be
tween eye and muscle, made him
a standout over the field. But in
the averages. a single counts as
much as a homer, and to beat
these younger rivals at yheir own
game would be a performance be-
yond parallel.
He's got a great chance t. do
it. too,

WAT 7 REWARDS
SHOTTON

When Frank Watt turned back
the Giants recently his feat
brought him up among some of
the discussed pitchers of the day.
It had been Watts job to warm
up in the bullpen and give the
heavy-hitting Phillies their daily
workout. Watt is sand-lot
young player from the Nations
Capital. He had been tried by
the Tigers a few years ago but
slipped back into the minors. A
sore arm cut down his effective
ness.
Needed Job
Last winter Watt was out of
baseball post. He saw in one of
the Philadelphia. papers that Bert
Shotton, manager of the Phils,
needed mound mechanics to give
the hitters a workout down in
Dixie during the spring games.
Watt thought there was a
chance he might do pretty well
rs q bullpen artist on a team
that needed four or five pitchers
to win one game.
He wrote to Shotton. He fig
ured he could not lose. Shotton,
from the Branch Hickey school of
grabbing stray players off the lots,
wrote back to Watt that he would
go South, and he did. He showed
much more stuff than some of
the touted mound mechanics.
Shotton said that Watt would be
kept.
Gets Chance Soon
Opening day of the season the
Phillies staged their customary
pitching parade. One of those
carrying a banner was Watt.
When his name flashed over
the wire it surprised some of
the talent in the press box at
the Yankee Stadium. They
never had heard of Watt.
Neither had the Giants.
Dave Bancroft has him in his
little black book of box scores
which he keeps in readiness for
Manager McGraw. When the
Giants faced him yesterday they
knew that he had beaten the
Pirates twice and the Reds this
year.
