"At the beginning of every

the present unrest and strikes
must definitely indicate that we

that one of the codes in effect had
produced a pay roll increase Of
nearly $15,000,000 a month, and
had resulted in the unemployment

Association, announced that the
strikers were slowly coming back
to work. Strike leaders coun

"We'n take all cOmerS in our
line. We can show the Giants
ground crew as much smoke as
Joe Cr0nin's boys can show the
Terrymen."
The large canvas that covers
the infield at Griffith Stadium
weighs about four tons and is
165xl68 feet square. Eighteen
men rolled it upon the field
yesterday and had it in place
in three minutes.
Joe Engel, president of the
Chattanooga baseball club and
an ardent Griff rooter, arrived
at the Stadium early this morn
ing Ito look things over" be-
fore the game. His money, he
says, is on the Griffmen to
win today. The series? Well,
he'll tell you more about that
after today's' tilt.
Foul balls that in the future
are hit into the press box, will
be the rightful property of Who
ever picks them up. This was
decided this morning by BOSS"
Griffith, after ushers complain
ed that the gentlemen of the
press were none too gentle in
their claim on the balls.
Why argue over a little
thing lige a baseball when
we're all having a whale of
time at a world series," was
Griffith's decision.
Three college chums, in the
person of Buddy Myer and Ed
Chapman, sturdy Griffmen, and
Hughes Critz, one Of the Terry
men, turned back the clock for
a few minutes at the stadium
this morning for an old.time
confab. The occasion arose,
and came to the attention of the
public, with the arrival at the
ball yard Of C. R. Noble, coach
at the Mississippi State College,
who trained the three players
there several years ago during
their Sojourn at the college.
With Noble came Hugh M.
Critz, father Of the Giant sec.
ond baSeman, and several friends
of the three players.
They posed together for pic
lures that will appear in the '33
Yard Book at the college.
Comparing the noise made by
the various sections of the
crowd, all are frank to admit
that the 900-odd fans crowded
into the far-off centerfield
bleachers, many Of whom have
been at the park all night, is
the noisest on a per capita basis.
They were the first to break
into noisy enthusiasm as the
Griffs took the field for batting
practice.
Griff outfielders were besieged
by fans who brake from the
bleachers, many carrying pro-
grams, photographs and even
articles of clothing to be auto
graphed. They were obliged
