hours daily, little change was evil

The night shifts was relieved at
8 o'clock this morning, at which
time others took their places at
the gate, ready to continue until
shortly after six this ebening.
Bernard Schulz, leader of the
strikers was not in the city today
and It is believed that he Is in
vestigating other rumors that ma
terials removed from the local
plant are beign completed in other
undergarment factories. Last week
three New York plants were pick
eted and the union was successful
in its efforts to create an uprising
among the employees of these fac
tories that resulted in a refusal to
enter the buildings on the part of
the workers until the work was re-
moved. The materials were taken
to the Madison Avenue storerooms
Of the local plant. Waterbury girls
were among the pickets of the I.
L. G. w. U. who won the fight
against the New York manufac-
turers.
It was evident today that the po-
lice, who are usually in the vicin-
ity Of the factory have been with
drawn, however, Thomas Bowling,
supernumerary policeman, re-
mains on duty inside of the gates.
He Is employed by the firm as a

day were Harry Bronstein and Ed.

He operated cars for many years
on the Watertown run, and later
on the Derby-New Haven route as
we'll as on various runs in the city
proper.
He spent most of his life as a
resident of the West End, and, Ia
ter, Of the Brooklyn sections.

lions Of the FERA win be reduced
until the system Is completely alb
sorbed by the WPA.
1t is expected that the appropria-
ton for waterbury, slashed APP
proximately $4,000 during the
past month, win be still further
decreased in August, and in this
event drastic reductions Of the
working force viii be necessary.
Mr.. Harris said he had made an
effort to obtain information from
state headquarters on the amount
of the grant for the coming month,
but without success.
Yesterdays meeting was called
by Mayor Alfred N. Phillips, Jr.,
president of the Connecticut League

than at the first session held early
last week.
Concerning the approval OF
FERA projects for Waterbury an
nounced in a press dispatch in the
morning papers, Mr.. Harris said II
such projects had been approved it
was without his knowledge.
According to reports this morn
ing six projects formerly listed UNI

quarters in New Haven. The pro-
jects were said to absorb so per

Produce Market
FURNISHED by Connecticut
Department of Agriculture,
B. P. StOrrs, local agent)

Increased supplies Of native
sweet corn on sale at the local
farmers market Tuesday morning
resulted in lower prices than on
the previous morning. A large
share sold for $500 to $2.25 per
100 ears, some down to $1.75 and
a few as high as $3.50. Native to-
matoes from outdoor paintings
were increased in supply also, but
shipped-in tomatoes were scarce
and high priced, resulting in q
higher and firmer market for the
natives at the market place. Most
sales were at $2.75 per half bushel
market, few rs cents above and
below that figure.
Native potatoes sold mostly for
30 cents a bushel while new south
ern stock was lower, some as low
as $500 a barrel. A few native
apples of clean quality were in
which sold for 800 to $1.25 per
bushel. Red raspberries were sui.
fering from the effects of the
humid weather and sold for low
prices. Some sacrifice sales were
made below the low quotation OF
three cents a pint. Black rasp-
berries. blueberries. currants and
cherries held steady and un-
changed.
Squash continued very weak and
low priced, mostly IS cents or
three bushels for 800. Cabbage,
carrots and beets were dull also
Cucumbers were not quite as firm
as on Monday. Beans held firm
and unchanged.
(Unless otherwise stated quota
tons are based on sales of good

FIRST RACE
BY SEYMOUR DUNN

One of the prominent profes-
sional tournament players came to
me with a very interesting case.
He said his iron club play and his
putting were working very salts
factorily, but his driver. brassie
and spoon shots persisted in going
off line to the left.
He was 5 feet inches tall, of
rather slight build, but had pair
of large, powerful hands. After
checking up on his physical d.
mansions and the dimensions of
his clubs, found his iron clubs
to be a perfect fit according to my
chart of club measurements, but
his wood clubs were of length
suitable for a player 6 feet 4 inches
tall, and the weight of the heads
suitable for very small child.
Also the shafts were so stiff it
was impossible to feel the club
head. took him out to play and
found that my subject was a ball
puncher instead of a club swinger.
A certain amount Of right-arm
punch is correct in playing iron
shots but wood clubs must be
swung. I also discovered that he
was not hitting against his left
side. He was turning his left side
out of the way so early that his
swing was out of line to the left.
then had him SET his left, foot
at right angles to the line of play
and kept at him until he could
swing through to the finish keep
ing his left foot at right angles
to the line of play. This delayed
his body turn to the left and en-
abled him to hit against his left
side. He caught on to this like
a flash and Immediately proceeded
to give us an exhibition of con-
Sistently straight driving the like
Of which I have seldom ever seen.

centage of $50.

Be that as it may these same
White Sox bounced upon the
erudite offerings of Lefty Gomez,
New York Yankee ace, yesterday
in luSty fashion, sending him to
cover under a four-run barrage in
the first two innings to sew up the
ball game and give them the de-
cision, 4 to 3.
Lyons Holds Yanks
Meanwhile, the veteran Ted
Lyons held the redoubtable YankS
to seven hits, one of which was a
homer by Tony LazZeri with one
on. Rip Radcliffe and Vernon
Washington, two youngsters, led
the Chisox attack with two doubles
and two singles, respectively.
All of which explains why Chi
cago fans are sneering at the
scoffers, why the Sox are unbeaten
in nine starts on the home past
ure, and why the Windy City is
already running more than a mild
pennant fever.
To soothe Col. Jake Ruppert's
tangled nerves, Tony Lazzeri, Yam
kee second baseman, blasted a
homer into the left field pews
scoring Lou Gehrig who had
singled in the eighth. Gehrig got
two singles in the game, but as
yet has shown no great bid for
the title of the league leadership
won by him last year.
Aided by five-hit performance
by Tommy Bridges, the Detroit
Tigers won their fifth straight
game, beating the Philadelphia
Athletics, 5 to 3.
Although Bridges walked a run
across the plate in the sixth and
was assaulted for a homer by
Wally Moses, AS recruit, he won
handily. Billy Rogell's three hits
and two hits by White, Cochrane
and Gehringer, the lead-off men
of the Tigers lineup, aided the
Detroit cause. Gerald Walker
hit two singles, continuing his
record of having hit safely in
every game in which he has ap-
peared. He brought his batting
average to .514, leaving him well
ahead of the rest of the league.
The other American League
game, Boston at Cleveland, was
postponed on account of rain,
and the entire National League
