 The labor board made public the text of resolutions passed at an all day executive session Feb 27.
 It set forth that all other efforts having failed to secure the CO., operation of the Weirton Steel co, HOtdiu6 WVIhCEO tIeCllOuS lOT collective bargaining, the board unanimously recommended legal prosecution.
 The resolution set forth that the board has conducted an exhaustive proof supporting its determination that substantial number of Weir ton employees desired an election. hla nt tA fair election, a substantial number of employees of the Weirton Steel com pany have requested the board them to choose representatives for ing, or other mutual aid or pro- tection," the resolution said.
 The national labor board in De- cember attempted to supervise such an election and recently attempted to carry out the presidents exccu- tive order of February 1, which empowered the board to hold elec- tions after determining that they were desired by "a substantial num- Der of employees"
 The resolution stated that the Weirton Co, refused to cooperate or permit the labor board to hold an election on cmopany premises or otherwise.
 Also, the company has refused to furnish Identification lists of its employees, 1t was said and thus has rendered it impossible for the labor board to conduct an election.
 Company silent.
 Pittsburgh. Mar. 1--(UPl The Wetrton Steel Company withheld comment on the National Labor Boards action in the Weirton em- ploye representatives dispute today pending communication with E. T. Weir, who was in New York.
 As soon as informed of the labor boards action in turning the dis pute over to the deparmtent of justice, general headquarters of the Weirton Company here> began at tempts to communicate with Weir. who is chairman of the National Steel Corporation, of which Weir ton is a subsidiary
 Weirton Steel previously has adopted the attitude that it would be violating the National Indus trial Aecovery act If 1t recognized any representative of it's employees except those chosen at the regular election last December.
 The Company maintains that the labor board itself failed to carry out the agreement between the company and the board, reached last october, whereby the board was to have supervised the Decem- Der elections. The board failed to presena the regulations for the elections until Saturday before the Monday when the nominations were to be made, Weir said. and after alL arrangements were com- pleted for the balloting.

Terry to Bat"
 for Babe Ruth

Bill Terry, manager of the Worlds Champion New York Giants, will pinch hit for Babe Ruth over the air while the Big Bambino is recovering from a. severe attack of influenza. Terry will act as president of the Babe Ruth Boys Club during the Babes absence and will conduct the tri- weekly meetings of the club which are broadcast over twenty-six sta- tions.
 Babe has acquainted Terry with the purposes behind the Babe Ruth Boys Club and the Giants man. ager is heartily in accord with the entire idea. He believes that tho boys clubs are building 1ivelier interest on the part of youngsters, not only in baseball, but in sports and athletics of all kinds and he is glad to do what he can to aid in a movement of this nature.
 Terry, although different type than Ruth, has a large juvenile following and will doubtless att tract thousands of youngsters who are National league rooters.

VENZKE FAILS TO FACE CUNNINGHAM
 IN BOSTON EVENT
Penn Miller Decides Not to Meet COnquerOr Again
 Interest in BOuthrOn

Boston, Feb 6.-(UP)-With the absence of Gene Venzke, Penn sylvania star, from competition in the Hunter mile, this classis will have to share top interest in the annual Boston A. A. games Sat- urday night with the special 1,O00- yard run. Venzke, though expect ed to enter, has failed to do so. Fans who had expected Venzke to seek to avenge his defeat at the hands of Glen Cunningham of Kansas last week in the Millrose games are transferring interest to the 1,000-yard event in which Bill Bonthron Of Princeton is expected to battle 1t out with Glen Dawson of Tulsa, Okla. A year ago in this same event, Dawson nipped Bonthron at the tape to win a spectacular victory, and repeti- ton of that race was likely.
 Cunningham, a strong favorite in the mile, will face a fast field which includes Carl Coan, former Pennsylvania star; Frank Crowley of Manhattan, Dean Woolsey, for mer Illinois star now running un- der B. A. A. colorsr, and Joe Mangan of Cornell.

Newark, N. J., Feb e.-(UPl- Eddie Siegel, sprint star of New York's Swedish-American A. C., to- day stood out as a menace to the country's top notch speedsters. Last night he equalled the world indoor record of 6.2 seconds in the 60-yard event at the Seton Hall games.
 Unexpectedly Emmett Toppino of New Orleans, former National indoor champion, failed to place first in any events.

Yale, Manhattan
 Clash Tonight

New Haven, Feb 6-Yale and Manhattan will meet in basketball tonight in the Payne Whitney gymnasium. While this is not an Intercollegiate League game, it ought to furnish plenty of thrills for followers of the sport as Man. hattan is coming up here with a fine record.
 Coach Ripley of the Yale team will use the same starting five which faced Pennsylvania last Sat Urday in Philadelphia. The upset at the hands of the Pennsylvanians in a hard league game Saturday has caused the Yale team to real ize that 1t is not unbeatable and that plenty of work is necessary to bring 1t up to top form for the important league games to come, the first of which is with Dart mouth this Saturday, in Hanover. Cornell comes here on Monday, February 19.

Under this option the Reds can send players to Toronto and ob- tain from the Leafs any men they believe have big league ability.
 The deal was arranged last night after a lengthy conference among Powell Crosley, Jr, the new mill lionaire president of the Reds; Larry MacPhail, vice-president and business manager; Bob O'Har- rell, manager, George Oakley, Tor- onto president, and Ike Boone, Toronto manager.
 Best Yet
 MacPhail pointed out that the system upon which the Reds wero embarking was different from the farm" system of the St Louis Car- dinals and from the straight-away player buying plan of the Chicago Cubs. The cooperative system does not involve the expenditures entailed in the farm procedure, and is more effective than the straight buying plan, he said.

 Too Bad, Son
 There was one gloomy boy walk ing around the meter department last Thursday morning and ms monickcr, is J. Anthony Colucci. we don't blame him for the night De- fore he saw his championship >hopes go skyrocketing when Jack Roberts' gang who hadn't been go- ing so good of late got hot and just schambled Coluccfs bunch all over the horizon. Over-confidence played L large part for we nau warned the boy that he shouldn't figure this match as easy. Poor Colucci all he croons Is: "They done me wrong"
 Bobby Raythwich was the wrecker for Roberts as he simply couldn't miss them in the first game chalking up a game of l42, which was also good enough to take the high single prize for the week.
