WRANGELL FISHERMEN TIE UP BOATS
IN SYMPATHY PACIFIC COAST STRIKE

Pacific Fishermen's Union of AS
toria, Oregon. The strike was call
ed on April 20. The gillnetters on
the Columbia River when the sea-
son opened on May l were offered
6 cents a pound but asked 8 cents
for round fish, and when refused
went out on strike. Gillnetters from
the upper Columbia brought down
$4,000 lbs. of salmon in defiance
of the strike and the cannery work
ers promptly refused to touch them.
The canneries then offered Z cents
and when the unions refused to
accept that price, closed down OPP
erations. By that time 1000 fisher
men and several hundred cannery
laborers were out on strike.
B. C. Trollers Join Strike
Four delegates from British Co.
decided to tie up the trollers on the
B. C. Coast. The Alaska Trollers
Association at Ketchikan after a
few days discussion honored the re-
quest of the Grays Harbor union
who asked them to keep Alas
ka fish off the market. Kanerva
said that on May 9 he started in
his gasboat for Alaska. He anchored
nights and in all the trip the only
fishing he saw was about a dozen
Prince Rupert boats at Dundas Is
land. At Neah Bay on Cape Flat
terry, where there had been about
700 boats fishing when the strike
was called, there were around 25
boats and all those were tied up. AT
Ketchikan all boats were tied up
but when he reached home all
Wrangell boats were out.
Wrangell Joins A. T. A.
Following the mass meeting,
meeting of fishermen only was call
ed and as a result 70 signed up tor
membership in the Alaska Troliers
Association and elected San Roman
delegate. Power boats signed up
100 per cent and hand trollers rs
/ per cent not to go out. On Monday
morning all Wrangell fish buyers
announced they were out of the
salmon market Two halibut tares,
amounting to $500 pounds were
bought during the week but other
wise the fish dock was closed to
buying.
At the meeting of the new Wran-
CELL organization on Monday, it was
decided to ask the same price for
outside red and white kings as
Ketchikan and two cents less for
Stikine river salmon, which because
of their dark color do not bring
the price of the bright outside fish
on the market.
Members of the executive board
of the Wrangell branch of the AL
aska Trollers Association are Jor-
gen Ronning, Ernest Nelson, John
Arola, George Collins and Sam Ro-

A mass meeting called at the A.
N. B. hall Sunday morning for the
purpose of discussing the tie-up OF
fishing vessels on the Pacific coast,
and the fish situation generally.
was attended by over one hundred
interested persons.
While the majority present were
fishermen several businessmen had
accepted the invitation to be pres
ent. Sam Roman, who has retained
his membership in the Alaska Troll
ers Association at Ketchikan since
he became a resident of Wrangell,
was mainly responsible for the
meeting being called. He had made
trip to Ketchikan last week and
was thoroughly familiar with the
viewpoint of Ketchikan fishermen
who tied up their boats some time
ago in a sympathy strike with the
Puget Sound and Oregon coast
trollers.
No Radicalism
L. M Campbell presided at the
meeting and held it to the purpose
for which it was called, a get-to-
gether meeting where the men could
talk over the fish situation in "a
sane and sensible manner, free
from personalities and radicalism.
Among those who responded when
called upon to express their views
| were Alfred Grant, Charles Roos,
Louis Wigg, Herbert Bradley, Will
liam Tamaree, Ernest Nelson, Jor-
gen Ronning, Nick Poolos, Fred
Wigg, Paul Owens, Urho Kanerva,
Charles Benjamin and P, c. McCor-
| mack, Many others asked questions
and spoke of their own experiences
and opinions of strikes and unions.
The men were agreed that at pre-
vailing fish prices for the past two
Iyears, it had been impossible to
make a decent living. The majority
of the speakers favored the Wran-
CELL fishermen tieing up their boats.
It was conceded that the Stikine
runs would be over probably by the
| line the strike was settled, but
that then the price for outside fish
| would be so much higher on account
| Of the strike that the fishermen
would be ahead on the July and
August runs, and that Wrangell
| fishermen would be free of the
charge of 'scabbing" by union men
on the fishing grounds.
Cause of Strike
xsUrho Kanerva, who left Wran-
CELL six months ago and was troll
ing at Westport on Grays Harbor
when the strike was called, told
the assembly how the strike had
started. There were 200 boats TROLL
ing outside, he said, when the price
of ~ cents was cut to 10 cents.
The fishermen accepted the cut
with little complaint but short
time later the price was cut to Z "
cents and at the same time the
price of oil raised two cents.
The Westport trollers then called
a meeting at which delegates were
persent from the Trollers' Vessels

Weaver Is Dependable

Today it will be Carl Hubbeu
against the 26-year-old Monte
Weaver, he with the gaunt
stature and the cold, clammy
eye. Monte's chances of beat
ing Hubbell may not be pop
ularly supposed to be anything
extra by the common herd, but
we rise to say that such an
assumption is not founded on
fact.
Weaver has been one of the
most, dependable hurlers over
the last five weeks of the reg
ular season, on the entire
Griffmen mound staff. 1t would
seem to us that if anybody could
stop the Giant siege guns, the
Terrys and Otis and Jack
sons, Weaver, is the man, not
the boy, to send on such q
ehore.
He has that old stomach all
ment of his pretty well under
control. He had a long spell of
rest back there in the summer
and Manager Cronin had in
mind in giving Monte some sur
cease the fact that he might
have to cinch his pennant with
the others, saving Weaver for
yeoman duty in case a world
series should come to Washing
ton.
That brings Monte up to the
very threshold of world series

CHOICE TODAY

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The
Giants were rated 4 to 5 IA
vorites to win today against the
Senators in the fourth game of
the world series by Jack Doyle,
betting commissioner. Whether
Carl Hubbell pitches or not, the
best figures for washington were
even money.
The Giants were quoted at 7
to 10 to win the series and II to
10 marked the chances of Wash
ington. Odds of S to 2 were quo
ted against either team winning
the next two games in a row and
5 to l against Washington taking

Turn on Fitzsimmons


It was nothing short Of gratl-
flying to see the Griffmen turn
about yesterday and land on
Freddy Fitzsimmons for the
necessary nine hits to establish
at least a one-day superiority
of four runs.
Washington was playing the
kind of inspired ball that car
ried it down through the season
to pennant. Its fielding was
superb, the entire infield spark
ling throughout the afternoon
and Buddy Myer doubling in
brass by not only contributing
the most sensational piece of
fielding of the series, but also
getting three hits out of four
times at bat.
Now, understand us. the GriffS
were not merely connecting
with Mr.. Fitzsimmons' famous
knuckle ball, they were murder
ing it. Goslin, Schultz, Bluege
and Myer each got good, solid
doubles and it was music to
hear that hickory limb laid on
that old horse leather.
All Of which, my friends, is
encouraging from washington
standpoint. It indicates an
awakening, a renaissance, as it
were, and there is no telling to-
day as these words are being
penned, just what washington
might do before the old series

score, We won,


dom seen them play any better.
Dazzling Stops
OsSie Bluege was particularly
good around third. He had six
chances duling the game and
each time he came up with a
great stop or throw to get his
man. A great performer. Ossie,
one that should be ranked with
the greatest third basemen in
baseball.
His most timely playing, to my
mind, was in the ninth. He had
two chances come his way in this
inning and on both occasions he
delivered senSationally. I had
just walked OFT when Davis hit
a scorcher toward third. Ossie
picked it up, and although he
didn't have a chance in the world
to get OFT at second, threw quickly
to first to retire Davis by a step.
Then Immediately following,
Jackson smashed one back Of
third. Ossie again knocked down
the ball, tried to touch OFT crash
ing into the bag, but nailed Jack
son at first after finding out it
was his best bet.
These two plays helped me over
a tough spot in that ninth as the
Giants needed only a hit to score
and possibly get going on a hit
ting streak. Things like this hap
pen in baseball, and although
felt I had enough to pitch to the
lend, I was mighty glad that
Bluege fielded so faultlessly one
those two grounders that came
his direction.
80 Batters Support Him
AS to the batting of the team,
1t was downright swell. Buddy
Myer. particularly, bobbed up as
a threat while Fred Schultz.
Goose Goslin, Ossie Bluege and
Luke Sewell delivered in a style
that was pleasing. to say the
least.
I believe we have the Giants
worried now. They looked it
after we scored those three runs
in the first two innings. Well,
they better keep on being wor-
ried, as I believe we're really
out of our rut at this stage and
will be hard to beat during the
remainder of the series, even
though they might have an idea
that Carl Hubbell will get 'em
back into the winning column
today.
Monte Weaver will pitch for
us and don't let anybody tell
you he won't be difficult to beat.
He's that sort Of pitcher when
right and he was highly effective
toward the close of the regular
season.

NEW PATH
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Baseball Writer and
Official World Series Scorer

Official World Series Scorer
About two months ago the
Washington Griffmen were play
ing a most important series with
the New York Yankees in what
was then a bitter fight for first
honors in the American League
race.
With only three-game margin
to work on, the Griffs went into
the Yankee Stadium the first day
to play a double-header. hopeful
that success at least in one Of
the engagements might be theirs.
AS events turned out, the Yanks
walked home with not only the
first game. but the second by the
time the last out had been re-
corded in the history books.
The Griffs naturally were taken
aback by this unexpected develop
ment, particularly as the Yanks
had beaten their supposedly best
bets on the pitching mound,
namely, General Alvin Crowder
and Lefty Walter Stewart.
Whitehill Turns Tables
But presto, the light of day
quickly took form in the presence
of a young fellow by the name
of Earl Whitehill The Griffs
sent him to the mound that next
day to bring them out of the rut
in the single game on the sched-
ule and Whitehill, pitching one
of the greatest games in his
career, proceeded to set the
Yankees down with four hits
while the Griffs went out to win
a heart-throbing 5-to-1 triumph.
A situation quite like that Of
the Yankee series was present
just before Whitehill and the
Griffs stepped out on the field
for the third game of the world
series yesterday at Griffith sta.
dium. The Griffs had their backs
to the wall as the Giants had
captured the first two contests
at New York.
But what did Whitehill do?
Nothing else, grandma, but set
the supposed Terrible Terrys"
on their respective ears, adding
insult to injury all the while by
shutting them out.
Pitches Same Brand
Whitehill pitched as powerfully
against the Giants as when he
set the New York Yankees down
with those four hits last July.
Come to think of it, his efforts
were even better because a world
series turning point was at stake
and a victory needed to restore
confidence to the Griffs. I
He allowed five hits and other&
wise kept the Giants at bay
from the first inning to the last.
He walked two, made a wild
pitch another time, but always
held something in reserve to keep
the Terrymen from getting th9t
certain baSehit when it would
have meant i'll things for tho
Griffs at the moment. 4
Getting back to that YANKEES
series again, Whitehill's triumph
then started the Griffs on y
new squirt which did not end
until the pennant was won. Now,
the Griffs believe the left-hander
has opened the way for a brand.
new drive today-a drive they
believe won't terminate until the
current world series champion
ship is tucked into the well
known bag. .
The Washington times., 1933-10-06

again. RUEL
Whitehill pitched one of the
best games of his career, a par
ticularly heady game. In the first
part his curve was breaking too
much to be effective, so switch
ing to "slow stuff" through the
middle innings, he was able to
save himself, and with the
shadows and bad background com.
ing to handicap the hitterS in the
later innings, he finished up with
a masterful exhibition Of fast and
curve ball pitching.
Bluege Stands Out
The team fielded in it's usual
good manner, with Ossie Bluege
standing out-fielding several diff
ficult chances and then getting
his man with that ever accurate
throw.
The Cronin to Myer to Kuhel
combination pulled Whitehill out
of about his worst trouble in the
second, when Mancuso hit the
ball hard to Cronin, starting the
double play. Fitzsimmons pitched
fine game after the first two
innings, but the Senators showed
the confidence of winning yester-
days game from the time they
started fielding practice until the
last man was out.
This confidence was backed up
by the knowledge. that White
hill was to pitch and that he
was ready, and when Earl is
right" it would take a much
better team than the Giants were
yesterday to stop him.
Giants Never Gave Up
The Giants were still a hus-
tling team, even with three runs
behind, attempting bunts and
drags when Whitehill's pitching
was too much to swing at, and
fighting through the ninth, try
ing to break through for a big
inning. Just a good club try
ing to beat a better one yester-
day. .....
washington seems to be COM
ing out of their batting slump,
and with Goose" Goslin and
Schultz hitting the ball hard
when the rest of the men fall
into line. we should see plenty
of baseball played in the remain
ing games of this series.
The coming back home Of the
Senators no doubt renewed their
confidence in defeating teams on
their home grounds. and, with
the loyal washington fans to
stick with them. they will again
bring that championship flag to
Griffith Stadium

punts, kicking off and receiving
kick-offs, and forward passing.
Coach Bergman announced this
morning that C. U. will not run
signals in this afternoons session,
which is scheduled to last about
an hour and a half.
Bitter Contest
This city, located in the heart
of the original fundamental foot
ball country of America, accepts
tomorrow's game as one sure to
be bitterly contested from start
to finish. Some notion of the
esteem in which s. c. U. is held
may be gained from the fact
that Holy Cross is only an 11-to-10
choice to win over S. C. u, while
the Crusaders right now are
6-to-5 shots to defeat Harvard
when the Purple and Crimson
hook up later in the season.
On the eve of their all-im-
portant game. the flying Car
dinalS reflect a quiet determina-
tion. The fact that Holy Cross
is favored to win helps S. C. us
cause not a little. A great game
is in prospect, contending coaches
admit it. as well as the public
and local newspapers, and, John
Jankowski, 172 pounds of foot
ball wildcat. says nothing-except
with his eyes, which mirror what
is in his soul; fierce pride-the
pride Of the local boy back in his
home town to play in the big
football game of the year,
The Washington times., 1933-10-06

n e WdVereC
only once to my knowledge and
that was in the ninth inning when
he walked Mel OFT to open that
frame. But you'll remember he
got out of the hole by retiring the
next three batsmen, Davis, JACK
son and Mancuso.
Only Six to Outfield
They've often said that figures
tell few lies. Well, a look-in as
to just how effective Whitehill
happened to be yesterday reveal
that the Giant sluggers could
only push six balls to the out
field all day.
Moore fouled to Goslin in the
first, OFT hit to Manush in the
second, Mancuso drove one to
Schultz in the fourth, Jackson
lifted to Manush in the seventh,
Ryan flied to Goslin in the
eighth, and Mancuso ended the
game by hoisting to Manush in
the ninth.
In the interim Earl had the
Terrymen popping up or ground
ing to the infield, particularly in
those moments when threatening
gestures arose.
Now, as to the performance of
the remainder Of our team, I'd
say we looked more natural than
at any other time since the series
started. I, for one, know I went
out there with a. certain deter
mination to make a real bid for
victory, and I'm absolutely sure
that the others had the same
feeling.
Myer Comes Through
And say, didn't Buddy Myer
come through tremendously at
bat? The dopesters were ready
to call him the goat Of the
series after those three errors of
his in the first game, but he
showed 'em his comeback quail
ties by not only fielding flaw
lessly. but gathering three hits.
That's the type of player Buddy
is, and it's particularly gratify-
ing to have the baseball world
realize it at a time like this.
I understand Terry is going to
shove Carl Hubbell at us today.
He won in New York earlier in
the week, but I'm confident it's
going to be another story today.
It's true he's a great pitcher, but
he can be defeated and I think
We'll turn the trick as we're very
anxious to get revenge for the
manner in which he subdued us
the other day.
And as to the ultimate outcome
of the series, I want to say I still
believe we're going to walk home
with the championship yet. It's
not impossible, especially now
that we've apparently gotten out
Of the rut, both from a hitting
and pitching standpoint. At the
least the next few days promise
to be very interesting.
