DOUGLAS BEATS ,ELKS; UMpIRES : HAVE INNINGS
Postponed Game Scheduled for Tonight - Elks
 Meet Legion

And-did the umpire -baiters have good time last night? In a tight ball game that saw both managers entering protests and both teams dangling with the umpires half of the time, Douglas took it's second victory over the Elks, ? to 0. Both pitchers had the batters swinging at the bad ones last night with the result that Claude Erskine, on the mound for the Island squad, collected eleven strikeouts while Shavey Koski, hurling for the Elks, whiffed ten. Erskine took the spot light for the entire game. Besides shutting out the Purples, he con- nected for a homer, a single and sacrifice hit in his three trips to the plate and scored both runs. Six Go Down
 After a delayed start, because of uncertainty as to the weather the game got under way at GAO pm. Six men went down in order in the first inning. Erskine, first man at bat for Douglas in the second, met Koski's initial pitch to him and dropped it over the fence near the foul line in deep left field for four -baser and Douglas first run.
 In the third, Don Bradley, a new player assigned to the Elks before the game, hit slow roller to third and beat it out to take first with no outs for the Elks. Bradley took second on Mark Jensen's wild throw over first. Rowe struck out and Koski flied to left. Bradley went to third on a passed ball, but died there when Adams struckout to end the Elks' first bid.
 Singles Open Fourth Mcdonald opened the fourth with a single for Douglas. Erskine sac rificed him to second and was him. self safe at first on Koskis poor throw to MacSpadden, Mcdonald going on to third. Mcdonald was caught in a pickle between third and home and Koski tagged him at the plate, Erskine taking third lon the play. Bonner famed but Roller got to first and Erskine scored Douglas second run when Jernberg bumped Elliott when they both tried to play Rollers fly be- hind second and Elliott dropped the ball. Livie famed for the third out.
 sa Elks' Big Rally
 The Elks big rally came in the fifth, also the first big mess for the Umps. Big Mac" Spadden hit to left and went to second when Erskine hit Bradley with a pitched ball to send him to first. Mac Spadden got in a pickle going to third and was tagged out at third. Bradley, who had taken second during the pickle, forgot to think and started back to first and Jen- sen put the ball on him for the

AYRES ENJOYS : HIS NEW ROLE,
 QUITS SHAVING

i, Lew AyreS has no desire to direct Actor Lew Ayres in a picture. He | is willing to leave stunts like that to people like Charlie Chaplin. 1 But he definitely wants to keep on directing other actors. l Lew, the former orchestra player who broke into pictures in "The Kiss" with Garbo, and became an important name after All Quiet on the Western Front recently com pleted his first picture in which he was behind the camera. It is The Glory Parade" a story about the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac.
 | Lew hopes his picture is good. He does not like to talk about di- recting until he hears the verdict.
 Now if I'd already finished five or six pictures he says, T might be able to say something-bu right now, well, I'm just waiting and hoping.
 Directing Easier T know this, though. Directing is easier than acting The hours are longer. You get through a day and then you go home to map out the next days shooting, and you have a lot of details to worry about. But I'd rather do it than be in front of the camera. When you're acting you work emotionally. When you're directing the labor is men, tai, and that is not nearly so ex- hausting.
 Another thing he said, its a relief not to worry about how you look. You can wear any old thing to work, and you can shave or not shave, just as you please"
 Lew's preference in shaving was for the latter It accounted, per- haps, for his offering a trophy to the member of his crew exhibiting the most successful beard It was two or three years ago that Ayres, then doing a success sion of conventional leads, began to think about getting his boyish appearing face off the screen.
 From play with a movie camera he turned to filming little stories of his own construction. One of them starred" Bobby Burns, a close friend who now is a success as film comedian. In another, Little Red Riding Hood,' Mrs. Ayres (better known as Ginger Rogers, and from whom he recent fly separated played a role.
 She played a sort of rabbit, D Lew explains, "and-and I think it was the cutest thing she's ever done. Then we did feature and that was the first time I ran across lighting problems. But all of that helped When I signed with Re- public to act and direct, I started going around the sets, watching other directors work I'd figure out how I would do a scene, then see how the real directors did it.
 Making The Glory Parade I was nervous, at first" he explain ed. Naturally. And I could see several other fellows on the side lines, warming up. Can't blame the company for that-how could they know what I could do? About the fifth day, though, the others went away, so I figured I was doing all right.
 And another thing but say, what do I know about directing, anyway!"

News Behind the News
Roosevelt Wins ia COP Primaries
Eren Ohio FiOpS 0per . Labor Vote
Counts Up

WASHINGTON-Conflictn and fragmen-
tary reports of developments in the labor field
have tended to blur the important fact that John
l. Lewis and his Committee for Industrial Or
ganization are marching rapidly along in their
mass organization of workers into industrial
unions.
Some labor leaders predict a summer of
organization as big as that which attended ere
alton of NRA.
Meanwhile. President William Green and
the craft union hierarchy of the A. F. of L.
at bitter war with the c. / O.. have sustained
4 succession of defeats
The most sensational move came in recent
private conferences when representatives of the
Lewis group told prC-Green executives of the
workers union that if they continued to stall,
following the union conventions stand for an
industrial union organization drive the c. I. o.
would go ahead anyway, with its proposed $780,
600 steel organization campaign.
That simply meant a threat to sweep the
union right out from under its old line exc
cutves which would be by far the toughest
move in the Lewis-Green battle thus far.
The steel union CAmalgamated Association
of Iron. Steel & Tin workers. held its conven-
ton at Canonsburg, Pa. Delegates proved to be
almost unanimous for industrial unioniSm
Faced with vague offer of organization
aid from Green and a definite offer from Lewis,
they voted for an organization campaign along
industrial lines, to be launched by a Joint COM
mittee of such contributing international unions
would agree to waive all claims CT jurisdic
ton in the steel industry ana accept the JurlS-
dction of the Amalgamated.
Since craft unions which make claims for
organized steel workers were believed unwilling
TO give such waivers, the way seemed left open
for a joint drive by the Amalgamated and the
nine unions Of the G. l. o.
When the steel unions executive beard, led
BY President Mike Tigle and Secretary shorty
Leonard, indicated a disposition to daily, Lewis
sent Director John BrOphy OF c. I. o. and Vice
President Phil Murray of the mine workers to
force a meeting and deliver the ultimatum
Another c. l. o. drive will be made to
ganize automobile workers This probably will
proceed faster than the steel drive when it
gets started which means that the first big
test of a new industrial unions srength is like
ly to come in the Michigan area.
The automobile industry, is true of steel,
is we'll organized only en- the fringes.
The most important feature OF the United
Automobile Workers meeting at South Bend
Ind was a complete repudiation of the repre-
SentativeS and desires OF Green.
Almost unanimous hostility exhibited
toward Francis J. Dillon, imposed last year by
Green as the unions president. The union voted
for industrial unionism and for a vigorous fight
at the next A. F. of L. convention to prevent
craft unions from raiding its ranks.

ECKNER WINS
GERMANY LOSES

In Germany there is a strange con-
test on between Hitler and DR.. Hugo
Eckner, commander of the dirigible Hin
dnburg-and Eckner is the winner.
Not long since, Hitler fell out with
Eckner because the latter would not vote
for the dictator. We're not Eckner so
prominent and capable, he might have
sustained severe punishment. But Hit
ler's efforts at revenge failed, because
Eckner with sublime application to bus
mess, has confined himself to epochal
trips across the Atlantic in his dirigible.
Eckner has climbed higher in the es-
timation of the world-and Hitler has
fallen lower. Which shows many things,
chief of which is that the best way to
become impervious to political attack
is being exceedingly capable.

HOW PRACTICAL IS
IDEALISM.?

The Ventura Star calls attention to
an instance when President Roosevelt
was asked by a Canadian editor for a
statement of the New Deal social OBJ
jectives. Said the President:
THE social objective, l should say,
remains just what it was, which is to do
what any. honest government of any
country would do-to try to increase the
security and happiness of large num-
Der of people in all occupations of life
and in all parts of the country; to give
them more of the good things of life;
to give them a greater distribution not
only of wealth in the narrow terms but
wealth in the wider terms; to give them
places to go in the summertime-recrea-
ton; to give them assurance that they
are not going to starve in their old age;
to give honest business a chance to go
ahead and make a reasonable profit
and to give everybody a chance to earn
living"
This is praiseworthy condensation
and an interesting thumbsketch of politi-
cal idealism For years we have watch
ed the efforts to turn this idealism into
accomplishment Some believe the seed
has produced broad harvests while 9TH
ers declare it is failure. Still more are
less eager to run to conclusions. 1t is
the latter group which will determine
the outcome of the November election.
