WESTERN HIGH NINE MUST DEVELOP CATCHE
Team to0pen

Wednesday
BY GARRETT WATERS

An interesting, if not sensa-
tional, baseball season is in pros
pect. over at Western High School
this year where Coach Cliff Moore
is whipping his charges into con-
dition,
First off, Coach Moore Is spend
ing a lot of time developing a
catcher to fill the gap left open
by the graduationS of Huck Wynne
and Bill Summerbell, who divided
I'D ''le work in 1885.
Next, the mentor is drilling an
entire new infield combination to
take the place of the quartet Of
Youngsters who held down the posi-
tions last year, namely, "Moppy
Rutherford, Clarence Allen,
Raphael Cabrera and Manuel
IgleSias.
Moore doesn't predict any SenSa-
tional results with his experiments
but he believes his team will fare
pretty well this year, particularly
after it has had a chance to play
a few games.
AIfOgiris Is Catcher
Johnny AlfoginiS is the new
. catcher. He has a task on his
shoulders to come UP to the stand
ard set by Huck Wynne, but from
the determination the lad has
shown thus far it should not be
+he most mountainous problem in
the world.
One item that promises to help
in his development will be the
aid of a former star catcher at
western, Henry Gichner. Gichner
an enthusiastic alumnuS, if ever
there was one, will work out with
the team until the interhigh series
starts and will give Alfoginis as
many pointers as are possible.
The new infield will shape up
with Henry Doyle at first oaSe'
Emery Prince, second base; Bill
Lanhan, third base, and Bud Law
yer, short. The youngsters look
to be the best of those now out for
infield positions and Moore is con-
yinced tn. IL fill the bill with a
little more practice.
EdmOnstOn, Borden On Hand
Bill Edmonston and Paul Bor-
den, veterans Of 1885, form two
thirds of the outfield department.
The other position will be given
to Cabrera or Iglesias, depending
upon which shapes up better in
practice. The latter two are
being shifted to the outfield be-
couse Of the class Of the n1leld
candidates Just mentioned.
Bob Rafferty, and Ted KlnSman
will do the hurting this year. Each
saw q great deal Of service in 1885,
and they are expected to handle
the mound assignments with little
or no trouble. They are right
handlers.
Coach Moore sends his team into
two games this week, the first com.
ing wednesday, when the National
Training Nine is met at National
Training School. The other con-
test is Friday, when Georgetown
Prep is opposed at Garrett Perk.
The mentor will get his first line
on the team in these games, and
naturally hopes everything" Will
look "jake."

back can win the job away from
him.
InfieId Lineup
In the infield, Phil Cavaretta,
now 20, will play first; the peer
less Bill Herman will handle
second; Bill Jurges, finest field
ing ShortStop in the majors, is
back at his old post, and Stan
Hack. one of the most improved
men in baseball hSt year, is
slated for third.
Gene Lillard, Los Angeles sen
sation, who clouted Sc homers
last summer, is trying for third
but he's expected to be back with
the Angels in May. Woody Eng
lish, a star at three infield 20
sitions, Is giving Jurges a battle
at short, and Manager Grimm
has reinStated himself as q
player.
Grimm is down to 181 pounds
the lowest weight he's carried
since he became manager in mic
season, 1892, and he says he's riC
Of the back misery that forced
his retirement last summer. How
ever, it's doubtful if he will de-
much more than pinch hit.
Gabby Hartnett, the most valu
able man in the league last year
is once again the first-strine
catcher. But if Gabby shoulG
slip, the Cubs have two of the
finest young catching prospects ir
the business in Ken ODea anc
Wally Stephenson.
If Warneke comes through
Grimm has five regular starters
Bill Lee, Charley Root, Southpav
Larry French and Tex Carleton
filling the other berthS. Root il
the only veteran, and he had 8
great season in 1885.
Reserve Pitchers
Roy Henshaw. Hugh Casey, Fa
bian Kowalik and Clay Bryant, re
serve pitchers last season, are bat
ting southpaws, Clyde Shouh
ClauSon Vines and Charley Flow
erS, and right-handers Ken Weafer
John HutchinS and Gene Ford
for the open places on the mound
staff. Hutchings and Shoun looE
like good prospects.
The Cubs start the season with
the fastest and youngest outfleld ir
the league, with the claSSiest field
ing infield in the circuit, and the
best catching in the majors.
Manager Grimm, confident oi
another pennant, says:
"Tt's q young mans game, and
we have the youth. CSvarretta,
Galan, Demaree, O'Dea and Ste
phensOn figure to improve, as do
Pitchers Lee, HenShaw, KOwalik
and Bryant"
"Maybe's it's putting myself
on the spot, but 1 like the Cubs

that were necessary last summer.

Wherefore the gullible bookies
offer 3 to against this sure win

bets a couple of thousand

money. Hall himself was early
on the job and talked a bookie'
friend into laying him 5 to ! for

AS the plunging owner toSses
his archaic jockey into the saddle,
he makes the instructions simple:
Drop back to last place with
this horse, stay there for the
first seven times around, and
then go to the front with him
and canter on home"
And then Mr.. Plunger gets q
seat on the outside fence, about
100 yards above the finish line.
They're off!-to quick break.
But not a jockey in the race is
willing to set pace. And tug
and haul and try to get
strangles and toe-holds on his
mount as he will the jockey
on Mr.. Plunger'S horse can't pull
him further back than second
place.
Thus they canter. at a Snail's
pace. for three laps. and then
coming into the stretch on the
fourth lap what does Mr..
Plunger's rider do but deliberate

half q length. .gallop past the
judges stand in front by that
margin-and then. go back to

couple of laps.

Then they come into the

Lost Count Of Laps
Before the jittery owner can
ask o question, his 55-year-old
jockey tells him:

ed by an occupational disease. In most
Of these States the coverage is ex-
tremely limited. Indeed it can be said
that in America today our modern in
dutstrial system is deliberately con-
demning thousands OF workers to dis
ability and ultimate death with the ut
most contempt because OF the fact that
the mass Of workers have not lodged
an effective social protest.
The issues raised in this social pro-
blem have been met in the Farmers
and Workers Rights Amendment pro-
posed by Senator Elmer A. Benson OF
Minnesota. It is known as Senate
Resolution 249. That Amendment au-
thorizes the kind of social legislation
which would provide at least a mini
mum protection for workers in Amer
lean industry.
If the issue is met squarely, if the
Farmers and Workers Rights Amen
dment can be made a part of the fun
damental law OF the land, then under
our existing system we shall be en-
abled to alleviate some of the econ
Clinical and social distress which the
workers are suffering, The passage Of
this Amendment must be made possible
in order hat the workers of America
can start travelling along the road
leading to a better and more economi-
cally just world where legal doctrin-
es will not be invoked for the purpose
Of d%efrauding workers out Of their just
claims against industry.
Montana labor news., 1936-05-21

on the application Of the affected
workers in which they asked for some
compensation the cases were thrown
out OF court. The company, a subsi-
diary Of the Union Carbide and Car
bon Corporation, did not see fit to
make the necessary investments of
masks and other protective devices
which would have saved the lives OF
the victims of Gauley Bridge those
who have already died and those whose
death is inevitable because the dis
ease has progressed TO a stage beyond
control.
The problem of occupational dis
eases has been treated with the utmost
contempt by the huge corporations
whose operations annually condemn
thousands OF workers toa living death.
Modern industry is becoming increas-
ingly hazardous. American workers
are entitled to at least a minimum le-
gal protection against health destroy
ing conditions over which they have no
control. 1t is more than ridiculous to
say, as has been said by some en-
ployers, that if a worker is not salts
fled, he can quit his job and work else
where. The problem is a social one.

The problem Of the lack of legal pro-
lection furnished to workers under the
severe hazards of modern industry was
again brought to light in the recent
publicity in connection with the situa-
ton in Gauley Bridge, where hundreds
of workers were compelled to work
under conditions which condemned
them to a living death.
A tunnel which was being built thr-
ough almost pure silica. Practically
every doctor in America knows that
one OF the worst forms Of occupationa'
diseases is that OF s%ilicosis, a disease
which condemns its victims to an in
evitable and slow death. There is nc
cure except immediate removal from
the industrial hazard which has pro-
duced the condition. Nevertheless
Rinehart and Dennis, the contractors
in charge Of building Of the tunnel
through their straw bosses and fore
men, compelled the men to work un-
der conditions which have now been
revealed as causing the death Of hun
dreds Of workers. 1t has been stated
that ever fifteen hundred workers are
affected by the disease.

The stark tragedy inherent in the
situation can be wildly revealed by
the fact that only twelve States in
