The Staters appeared listless in

Stewards speedy delivery, which had
them completely baffled. There was
no heavy hitting, as neither team

.3PORTHPARADE.
b&A&8h{@S
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, April 25.-They're
playing one of those resort tennis
tournaments down at Hot Springs,
Va, this week, and unlike most
such polite sports this one may
mean something. It's entirely pos
sible that what happens between
now and Saturday will have an i'm
portant bearing on the new United
State attempt to win back the d.
Wis cup.
The key men of the Hot Springs
business are Lester Stoefen of Los
Angeles and Bryan Grant Of At
lanta, and for the time being the
latter is the more important.
Unless Stoefen breaks that fig
urative leg he will be the No.
man of the 1884 Davis Cup squad.
He's set. But what of Bitsy Grant?
Well, there's the matter Of his small
stature, and it's the only thing
that has kept him from serious
consideration as a cup player. Grant
is no more than five feet four in his
tennis shoes, and this, of course, is
real handicap to his service and
even more SO to his attack at the
net.
But what Bitsy lacks in stature he
more than makes up for in strate-
gy and indefatigable play from
the baseline. No amateur today can
show Grant anything about the
knack of catching up with seeming
ly impossible gets. The very fact
that he is small is an asset as he
bounds about the court like a jack
rabbit.
1t was only last Saturday that
Grant gave tennis its first real up
set of the outdoor season. Coming
into the court at White Sulphur
Springs, Grant and Stoefen were
set and set in a delayed semi-final
match. Stoefen managed to save
the third set at 8-6, but Grant then
ran out the match, winning the fl
nal set at 6-1.
The important point to remember
is that Grant won because he play.
ed better tennis and not because
Stoefen was having an off day. AS
long as he stayed at the baseline
he outslugged and outplayed the
towering Californian.
Down at Atlanta Grant is one
great sports figure, now that Bob
by Jones has quit playing. His
friends like to recall that he won
two-thirds of his important matches
in 1893, and they remind you that
his victims include Frank Shields,
Frank Parker, Sidney Wood, John
Van Ryn and Ellsworth Vines. The
win over Vines, perhaps, was the
least important for it came at the
fag-end of Elly's extended slump.
And now he has added Stoefen to
the list, and real showing at Hot
Springs would be certain to bring
him definite consideration as cup
material.
A Stoefen-Grant combination
would be reminiscent of the one we
had beginning back in 1920 when
the towering Bill Tilden teamed up
with Little Bill Johnson. This
combination was the keystone of
the American dynasty which lasted
until France won the cup, for the
first time, in 1927.
But the interlude of success con-
tanned many a victory for Little
Bill, who was only feet, 5i2 inches,
or IL inches taller" than Bitsy
Grant.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25. W.P)
Concern was felt today over the
condition of Charles Ferrera, San
Francisco, national public links golf
champion, confined to a room at St.

Ferrera's condition was regarded
as critical. Friends believe that the

The Union label Permanent s,s s,ss1s ess1sn'ss

The Blue Eagle is only temporary
in character. 1t was created to serve
only during an emergency. 1t ex-
pires in June, 1885.
There are three outstanding rea-
sons why trade unionists should give
whole-hearted support to goods bear
ing the union label and business places
which display a union shop card or
a union working button.
l. The union label, shop card and
working button guarantee the pur-
chaser that the best possible wage,
working and sanitary conditions are
enjoyed by the workers and that a
real collective bargaining agreement
is in effect.
g Practically all codes, under which
the Blue Eagles is used, provide for
lower minimum wages and maximum
hours greater than the union de-
mands.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1934-08-31

Open letter to organized labor from
Executive Board, Union Label
-. Trades Department.
All trade unionists and sympathiz-
ers with the trade union movement,
must be made to realize that there is
no substitute for the union label on
commodities which they buy nor for
the display of a union shop card or
working button where they purchase
service of any kind.
There is no doubt that some en-
ployers are taking advantage of pres
ent conditions to magnify the benefits
Of the NRA Blue Eagle and thus to
minimize or discredit the value to the
workers of the several union labels
which have done SO much good in rails
ing and maintaining wages, in secur-
ing a shorter workweek and in build
ing up the trade union organization.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1934-08-31

8. The vast number of code viola
tlons indicate that the Blue Eagle
does not guarantee compliance with
even the vastly lower employment
standards contained in so many
codes. 1t should also be remembered
that the union label attached to any
article guarantees it was made in
America This is not true of thou
sands of commodities sold where the
Blue Eagle is displayed.
Real Americans, as we'll as all
trade unionists, should buy. only
American-made goods whenever pos
sible to do so. The union label shows
you how.
Despite the fact that the NRA
guarantees the right to organize and
bargain collectively, many persons
who use the Blue Eagle have infiu-
enced or coerced their employees to
form company unions. The most eff
fective way to combat this situation
is to refuse to accept the Blue Eagle
as a substitute for the union label,
shop card or working button.
The best way to build up and
strengthen our labor movement is by
cooperation through our purchasing
power. BY purchasing only union
labeled goods and union service, we
are also creating more employment
for fellow trade unionists.
Let our motto at all times be: Spend
no union-earned money except for
union-labeled goods and union serv-
ice.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA. N.
Bozeman Jr. held first place in the
worlds three = cushion billiard
championships today, but it was
more than an even money bet that
he again would be tied for the
lead when tonight's matches are
concluded.
Bozeman, with five victories in
as many starts, took the lead by
defeating Augie Kieckhefer of Chi
cago last night, so to As, in fifty
eve innings. Willie Hoppe of New
York threatened the Californian's
position. He meets Otto Reiselt of
Philadelphia in the last match on
today's schedule.
Hoppe, who has won all his four
matches thus far, was a t3p-heavy
favorite to move into a tie by de-
feating Reiselt, winner in only one
start out of six.
In third place is Allen Hall of
Chicago, who yesterday subdued
Alfredo De Orc, New York, so to
81 in sixty innings.
Bozeman was trailing by 10 points,
but moved up and took victory in
a closely fought finale that viz
tually eliminated Kieckhefer.
Welker Cochran, of San Fran
cisco, the defending champion, took
sole possession of fourth place with
an easy so to % victory in fifty
nine innings over Len Kenney of
Chicago, last night.
In the other match yesterday,
Kinney Matsuyama of New York,
the national champion, scored his
third triumph in six contests by
beating Tiff Denton of Kansas City,
former world champion, so to &c,
in SiXty-seven innings.
