STATE LABOR
CONVENTION
VOTES TO-DAY

PASADENA, Sept. 20. (U.H - A
vigorous fight on the floor of the
California State Federation of Lab
or convention was in prospect TO-
day over attempts to elect to the
vice presidency, Harry Bridges,
4" fire-brand" in the recent San
Francisco general strike.
Bridges was nominated to one of
the four vice preSidencies that will
be filled in the ninth district.
Conservative delegates were ex-
pected to oppose him strenuously
because of his leadership of the
left-wing faction that dominated
the paralyzing strike and establish
ed a virtual dictatorship over the
city for brief reign. An Austral-
ian, who was openly accused Of
Communistic affiliations, Bridges
served as head of the strikers
committee.
He was opposed in the ninth dis
trict race by Joseph McManus.
James E. Hopkins, B. F. Dodge,
Anthony Noriega, c. w. Deal and
Earl w. Allad, all of San Fran
CISCO
Strike repercussions we're heard
from another quarter when the
convention adopted a resolution,
authorizing an investigation of Am
erican Legion activities during the
walkout.
Homer Chai!laux of Inglewood
retired Legion commander, was
charged with authorizing a publici-
ty campaign which labor leaders
consider a breach of their "bond
of friendship with the Legion. F."
The resolution cited that the Leg
ion S constitution prescribes neu-
trality in labor matters.
Chaillaux IS activities and those
of other Legion leaders during the
strike were ordered investigated to
determine if any "act of conSpir-
acy" had been committed.
Disposing of string of resolu-
tions, the federation adopted three
involving the "new deal.' One
recommended review of the
grapic arts code on the ground
that Interpretation of the code was
entirely in the hands of employers
and failed to protect workers.
Another urged enactment of state
act, providing prosecution of NRA
violators. A third resolution at
tackled the policy of the Public
Works Administration in the en-
ployment of skilled labor.
May Endorse Sinclair
The federation in other resolu-
tions opposed curtailment of the
state school book budget; opposed
use OF state free employment bu-
reaus in recruiting strike breakers:
and recommended improved light
ing facilities in factories and
plants.
Another resolution, calling for
the federation to endorse Upton
Sinclair, Democratic nominee for
governor, failed to reach vote but
was expected to do SO some Iime
today.
Edward Vandeleur, president OF
the San Francisco Labor Council,
was assured of election as fedora
ton president when his name alone
was placed in nomination. Vande-
leur is an avowed foe of Commun-
ism.
District vice presidents were NOM
mated as follows: /. E. F. Nelson
San Diego; 2. Harry Williams, Los
Angeles, and James C. Coulter

THE BIG BAN MOANS

Anyone who thinks Babe Ruth
no longer worries about getting his
basehits, during the decline and
imminent fall of the Great Bam-
bino, hasn't sat with him recently
in the Yankee dugout, as l did the
other day, while the Red Sox were
in town.
The Babe, as everyone knows,
hasn't been hitting 300 this year
He was squawking about getting SO
many bases on balls, about some
body who had been using his pet
bat and about Max Bishop. THAT
guy robbed me of two hits yester-
day and need en-" he remarked.
Seems to me when I catch hold of
one nowadays, somebody is always
in the way of it."
That afternoon the Babe belted
one that looked to have the home
run ticket on it. but Carl Reynolds
backed up against the fence to
catch the drive.
Ruth is using slightly lighter
stick this season but he isn't short
ening his swing. He still takes a
lusty clout, whether he connects
or not. Maybe I'll be 50 weak
that III have to use 20-ounce
Nclub next year." he laughed.

CATCHER PLAYS
INTEL DER FOR
UNIQUE STUNT
Following Bunt Puts Him
on Third to Tag Runner
from Second Base

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Catcher
Bill Dickey's speed afoot and will
ingness to play the role of a"fifth
infielder" produced one of the most
unique plays Yankee stadium has
seen.
With Uhall of the Chicago White
Sox on first, Haas rolled bunt
down the third base line. Cros-
ETH came in, scooped up the ball
and pegged Haas out by an eye
lash. Uhalt, rounding second, saw
third base unguarded and kept
right on going. IS
But Dickey, who had started to
chase the bunt, kept on going, too,
and he arrived at third just in
time to take Gehrig's return throw
and tag the sliding Uhalt.

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Another at

Although this sport is popular

by ALAN GOULD !

The boys finally pinned one on
Bill KLEIN, the National Leagues
most famous umpire and they did
MT miss the long-awaited oppor-
tunity to rub it in, as conSe-
quence OF President John Heyd-
ler's reversal of the arbiter's ruling
on an infield fly ball and his or
der to replay the game, involving
the Cubs and Cardinals from the
spot where the mistake occurred.
It's all because KLEIN is noted for
his outspoken claim that he ''nev-
er made a mistake" in calling 'em
from behind the plate or on the
bases in 80 years of Major League
umpiring. A gruff disciplinarian,
KLEIN has never compromised with
the ball players. He is held in
highest respect by one and all.
But the fact that he finally miss
ed one that left him no come
back has been relished in baseball
circles.
In all fairness to KLEIN, how
ever, it should be said that the
long standing popular notion about
his attitude on making decisions
has been misconstrued. Bill never
meant to have the idea prevail
that he didn't or couldn't make
mistake. He has often told his
friends II may have missed some
OF EN- but what meant is that
there was never any doubt in my
mind when called a decision"
In other words what KLEIN meant
and still means is that, right or

wrong, he calls em as honestly as
he Tces EN-.
That's all any arbiter can do,
with only his own eyes and judg-
ment to rely upon, and it would
take the cameras eye, split to one
thousandth of second, to detect
exactly what happened on many of
the close ones. It's well to remem-
Der that as many as half-dozen
experienced, trustworthy judges, all
on the same line, have been proved
by the camera to be wrong in call
ing a number of foot-racing fin
ishes.

Franciscan who recently won the
British Amateur golf champion
ship, today pairs with Roger Pea
cock, Indian Spring star, in an
exhibition match at Indian Spring
against George Diffenbaugh, In
dian Spring professional, and AL
Houghton, KenWood pro.
Conditions of the match are
four ball, best ball, starting at
2:30, with no charge to the public
for witnessing the event.
Originally, Johnny Goodman,
former National Open champion
and Walker Cup star, was sched-
uled to participate in exhibition,
but business engagements kept
Goodman away.
Little Near Best
Fresh from competition in the
recent National Open, at the
Merton Cricket Club, Philadelphia,
Little, pride of amateur golfers

Sidered to be at the top of his
game, but he is hitting the ball
nicely just the same.
In a workout yesterday, Little
played the Burning Tree course in

Steve Early, secretary to Presi-
dent Roosevelt; William Spaid
and John C. Fisher.
Friends of Dutra

namely to choose Primo Camera

Regarding tonight's bout in a

'I've got to be at tops when
I defend my title against Jackie
Brown in England shortly.
This'l probably be my last
battle on this side.
"This Seaman's plenty
tough guy. They tell me he
really showed worlds of class in

Brown on the Pacific Coast.
Now the 'NewsbOy's' a great

BY JAMES CANNON

NEW YORK, June 13 Q.N.S0.
Broadway thinks the referee is
the best bet in the Baer-Carnera
punch polka.
They like Max as a man. But
they think Primo is the better
mitt mauler. They want to lay
their dough on the line for Make
the mighty. But they think
Primo is the better boxer. So
they are holding their dough,
laughingly picking the referee as
the best man who will walk the
resin Thursday.
Make is a Broadway natural.
He is a boastful, staggering guy
who talks faster than he hits.
He belongs in the hot spots,
mingling and wise cracking with
The Washington times., 1934-06-13

ton to handicap him in his
bid for the heavyweight title.
Never a Serious Second
He has had flurries of belt
ing, pummeling, paralyzing at
tacks on his hired help, which
incidents he would pass off
with a remark to the effect
that he guessed he wasn't in
condition.
Then he would stand up and
let his spar mates Wham him
from hell to breakfast, saying
out of the corner of his mouth
to the gents in the press pews
that he hoped Commissioner
Bill Brown hadn't witnessed
the assault.
Certainly if Max Baer is ever
serious it isn't when anybody is
looking. His circumSpect mo-
ments, when and if, must be in
the privacy of his sleeping and
living quarters.
He has taunted everybody
within earshot of his loquacious
personality. He has spared no
body, spectator, camp personnel,
neWSpapermen, and even his
California lawyer whom he
spotted at a workout and Of
whom he inquired over the ropes
whether any more dolls had
sued him for breach of promise.
Outright Impudence
Even last Friday when he
and Camera appeared in New
York for their first physical ex-
animation and when they were
disrobing in the same room, he
stepped over to the champion
and started plucking hairs from
the Italians massive chest,
counting:
"He loves me; he loves me
not"
Whether he will turn tomor-
row nights duel into such a
burlesque remains to be seen,
but if his conduct of the past
month is a criterion, he will
have a retort for every possible
turn of events. Were he knocked
cold by one of Generals devaStat-
ing right uppercuts, the specta-
tors need not be surprised to
