BUT THERE is ONE REAL
BASEBALL GAME coming up for
Sunday, July 20, when Sgt. Roy Bod
mer's policemen set out to put hand
cuffs on Val Wilson's fame-eaters.
Last year the Police-Firemen contest
was quite success. This year over
500 tickets have already been sold
and there is every indication that a
large crowd will be on hand to cheer
for the guardians of law or applaud
the protectors of our combustible
properties. Too bad that the Rockville
Business Men are cinch to take the
winner. Says who?

caused a tragedy.
While executing a dive, Miss
Schuber struck her head on the
bottom of the pool. When she
arose to the surface she was in
a semi-conSciouS condition.
Walter Cleaver, her trainer.
grabbed her and pulled her from

BY WEATHER

Sandlot baseball teams are way
behind their training schedule due
to inclement weather. Last year
at this time the mines had at least
a week of practice under their
belts but this year they haven't
even a day.
However, the sandlotters are
not remaining entirely inactive.
They are holding reorganization
and league meetings.
Six teams were represented at
the reorganization of the Capital
City last night at the Atlas Sport.
The circuit will be tentatively
known as the Metropolitan
League, and Vic Guazza will be its
temporary chairman.
Teams Represented
Those represented were the
Miller Furniture, runner-up in the
Capital City League; Warwick A.
c., Congress Heights, st. JoSeph'S,
A. c., Blue Flame, and Dora.
The second meeting will be held
Monday night.
Mike Tracy, former Mt. st.
Mary's college athlete, will lead
the newly organized NRA unlim-
tied baseball team the approach
ing season.
He has such talented players
as Lefty Stevens, Johnny Bozek,
Charley Dingler, George Terry.
Hal Kiesel, Johnny Garland, Ed
Brockwell, Ed Ely, Ed Tucker,
Tracy Barnes and Bill Sturvant,
on his roster.
Former COlIegians
Barnes won a baseball letter
at Yale; Stevens starred at Mary
land, and Bozek shone at George
town.
Berwyn seniors have reorgan-
lied and are seeking games.

RESUME TILT

J. Henry Hiser will have his
"gang" on hand tonight to lend
moral support in the final block
Of the Suburban Match Game
Elimination Tournament in which
he is trailing Jack Talbert of
Georgetown Recreation by points.
Back on his Bethesda alleys,
Henry defies any and all. In fact,
Henry didn't do 80 bad at George
town as he rolled SGT, but Tai
bert pounded out 602.
Jack has defeated Mac Smell
ing, Of Takoma, and Perce Wolfe,
of Hyattsville. Perce had pre-
viously downed Hugh Crawley,
jr., of Mt. Rainier.
j. Henry trimmed Thurston
FUR, of Clarendon, and George
L. 1semann, Of College Park. Ise-
mann had already chalked up a
win over Gait Davis, of Rosslyn.

CENTRAL
To FINISH
SECOND
BY SID KATZNELL

Now that the big league train
ing season is in full swing, local
hot-stove leaguers are falling back
on the interhigh baseball series
for additional fuel.
Sight unseen. they are actually
picking Eastern to win the forth
coming series. They are basing
contentious on the theory Eastern
combines good coaching in the
person Of Charlie Guyon with a
strong attack, and which features
Joe Mills, who batted more than
500 last year.
Chances Suffer
Centrars chances Of standing
ace high with the dopesters suf-
fered considerably when it was
learned the Mount Pleasant
schools ace third baseman and
catcher, Buddy" Nau and Cliff
("Bits") Keyser, have been de-
clared ineligible. However, Jack
Rays boys still have a chance OF
becoming second in the affections
Of the facts and "figger'' boys.
Tech, last years champion, is
conceded third place. The team
was riddled by graduation and it
is expecting too much Of even
such a capable coach as E. G. Fox
ley to build a winner overnight.
Western Fourth
western wins the votes Of the So
called experts for fourth place be-
cause of strong pitching staff,
which features Eddie Loveless.
Roosevelt, which has finished
last in sports for some time, is
just about ready to turn on the
teams, which formerly were supe-
rior, according to the boys who
like to guess what will happen,
and will have a better chance than
ever before, now that they have
a stadium in which to practice. It
is thought the groundwork for a
good team will be laid this year,
with the boys possibly going some
place next season.

EASTERN FA VORED IN LNTERHIGH SERIES
His Story Was OkGy,
But He Must Haze Been
Looking For A Horse.

) dear school as usual, had
taught me where he was.
I am wholly serious, too,
when I say Walker would have
been far happier had he got
in some business such as this
instead Of politics. He might
never have become so widely
known. But surely none knows
better than he how fleeting
fame can be, and how little
being widely known matters.
He Loved All Sports
Walker was a good sport and
a good sportsman. He had wit
and an intuitive knowledge Of
what the public wanted. He
knew sports intimately and un-
derstood them, and he had a
lasting enthusiasm for them.
I can see him yet twisting
and writhing and shadow box
ing during a bout. And when
some boxer he liked was in
there, how he could root! They
used to say, didn't they, that
he was Johnny Dundee's silent
manager? That was because he
liked the little Scotch Italian.
And after the bouts, he en-
joyed nothing better than join
ing the fancy in the back room
of Leone's Restaurant and fight
ing them all over again.
Gould Do Better
He could have waited until
the last minute to write his
story, which is the custom of
the trade. Primarily, perhaps,
because it always gives you an
out to yourself. You pick up
the story the next day and say
to yourself-just as I will say
to myself about this one:
Il know I can write better
than that, but I was in such a
hurry last night"
Yes, taken by and large, the
Honorable James would have
made the ideal sports scribbler.
Maybe, too, it would have made
the ideal job for him. Who
knows? With a half decent
break in luck a fellow can last
a long time at it, and the
league is not fast enough to be
too hard on old dogs.

Our NeUest Colleague
On These Sports Pages
Is Jimmy Walker.

NEW YORK, March 24.-It
was q pleasant surprise yester-
day to find James j. Walker,
ex-headman Of our town, writ
ing on the sports pages. This
was not the dapper former
mayors first venture into jour-
nahsm, but previously he has
confined himself to such rela-
lively unimportant matters as
peace conferences and political
conventions.
Yesterday they assigned him
': really big story to cover, and
lie acquitted himself with
credit. Now that he has gradu-
ated to the important news of
the day, this young man may
become q valuable member Of
the Fourth Estate.
In his previous pieces for the
papers it seemed to me that
detected q slight trace of bore
dom. Which is one of the car
dinal must-nots of our business.
No good reporter ever yawns at
his own story. At least, not
when his editor is looking. But
Jimmy whooped it up over the
Grand National Steeplechase
and If, when he was through
with his yarn, you could not
exactly see the field sweeping
past Becher's Brook, you could
tell that for SO cents the author
could have dived in it.
Looking For Something
His detailed description of
the race seemed a bit uncer-
tain, due perhaps to the fact
that he was looking for a horse
that was nowhere to be seen.
He had backed a hide called
Really True that turned out to
be terribly false and fell at

I know exactly how that is.
When I first started covering
horse races, / was likely to be

finishing.
In time I conquered this
habit. I got so I never bothered
looking for the one I had
backed. Experience, keeping a

Jimmy Burns, Like Tennyson's Brook,
Keeps Rolling Along On Drives
By DANNY GILL

Dy OkARNENA 04AA
Jimmy Burns is no "flaSh in the
pan"
While some bowlers come up
with a rush and flash promises Of
greatness only to fade pack into
oblivion, Burns has gone along in
q consistent manner for 70 years.
It's true he doesn't rate among
the city's 10 best timber-topplers
but he does maintain more than
respectable average.
This year, press Of business has
kept him away from the alleys
somewhat, but he manages to
keep his arm from getting rusty
by rolling in three leagues.
HAS 1O6 AVERAGE
Formerly president Of the Mary
land University "M' Club, Burns
has q 1O6 average with the Mary
land team in the intercollegiate
Alumni Duckpin League with
which he has bowled since the
Leagues inception a few years
back. Maryland, incidentally, has
won three league pennantS.
In the Bethesda Businessmen's
League with the Bank Of Bethesda
team, he carries q 10 average,
and has a mark of more than 1O4
with the Boulevard team in the
Interurban League.
Jimmy was born in Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1890, is married and
has a 16-year-old daughter, who
does not bowl, yet. He came here
in 1907 to attend the University
Of Maryland and has been
here ever since with the excep-
ton of three years spent in Day
ton, Ohio. While at College Park
he played the outfield for Old
Liners baseball team, which won
the State championship in 1909,
and played half and quarter
back an the grid teams Of 1909
and 1910.
His best league average Is 115,
which he a1nassed five years ago
in the Bethesda BuSineSsmen's
League. The esteem in which he
is held by good bowlers Is shown
by the use of him as a substitute
by the Silver Spring Skating Rink,
which has such stars as Astor
Clarke and Joe Harrison. on 1t
and which is good enough to lead
the National Capital League.
BOwled With Best
He has bowled with some OF the
greatest stars Of the past and
present and thinks George Friend,
Brad Mandley, Make Rosenberg,
Astor Clarke, Joe Harrison and
Dutch" Newman rate as the best.
Unlike some persons who have
bowled for years, he thinks the
game has been improved by the
methods used in standardizing al
leys. People like big scores, ne
says, and the game is therefore
more popular because Of them.
Some of his observations are:
"All sports are great. I've
played football, baseball, basket
ball, tennis, golf and have
bowled and skated. Golf and
bowling are the best and have
a lot i'm common. In each you
must relax, have rhythm, good
fOOtwOrk, good fOllOw-thrOugh
and must keep your eye on the
ball or pins.
Both games will take the con-
ceit out Of you.

Duquesne
Jobs Drop
Steadily

BY A Steel Worker Correspondent
McKEESPORT, Paintings are
very slow in Duquesne. Out of 26
open hearth and 2 blast furnaces
there are only 4 open hearth and 2
blast furnaces working part time.
The open hearth furnaces usual
ly shut down at the end of each
week. The average worker get
about 2 days a week. I have been
a bit more fortunate than that, get
ting turns pay, up until the last
pay, and that will contain only 5
turns.
Our stripper cranemen were
granted a raise because the COM
pany union representative put the
petition through. The company rep
resentative also told me the mill
wrights and the inspectors will
probably get a raise of a few cents,
though I am not sure about that.
I joined the A. A. as I am going
to build a real opposition in the
Fort Duquesne Local. I think one
of the trustees is going to be with
me, as he doesn't like the bureau
cratic methods in the local. The
last meeting was more like De-
mocratic rally than a union meet
ing.
About IS union men were laid off
from the mill last week. These men
were clippers and the mill has in
stalled a new chipping machine
which replaces these men.

Pearl Button
Bosses Union
Is Squelched
BIZ . Worker CORRESPONDENT

BY worker Correspondent
MUSCATINE, Is.-This letter is
to inform you about the strike in
the French Water Pearl Button
Factories in Muscatine Iowa.
This strike was called by joint
action of union and non-union
workers and lasted days, (from
Oct. LIST to Oct. 10TH. This strike
was brought on because of des-
perate labor conditions in this in
dustry. Thu strike was not well
organized due to the lack of or
ganization among the workers in
this industry, but it did prove to
the workers that a rank and file
organization is the only hope of
the button workers to better con-
ditions in this industry.
A new organization has been
formed here composed of the rank
and file of all the different I'M
ions and parties. And We believe
that this new organization Will
soon be strong enough to compel
the manufacturers to pay better
wage.
An attempt was made by the
Iowa Pearl Button Co. to form a
company union after the strike,
but we were successful in breaking
1t up before it really got a start.
The employees of the Iowa Pearl
did not want a company union but
they would have been forced into
it had we not helped them to break
it up.
The Iowa Pearl and all the other
button companies have number of
stool-pigeonS in their plants that
try to line the workers up and get
them into company unions. If a
worker dares to oppose one of these
stools or makes any complaint
about the job, he is promptly dis
charged.
Labor conditions in this industry
are the rottenest that we have ever
seen. The button manufacturers
regard the code as joke, and the
NR.A. makes no attempt to en-
force it. Hundreds of workers
have been forced out of jobs, pro-
duction has been increased per
man and per machine under this
code, and still the MIRA. does
nothing about it.
When worker is thrown out OF
job here and goes to the relief
for aid, he is stalled off for week
and then is given a SIPS grocery
rderNfor a week. The button man
ufacturers seem to also dictate the
policies of the relief organizations
here.
