A. B. C.. Makes eliot Shot,
Just Another Bowler

The A. B. c. tournament alleys
level off all participants. One who
might have a very fine average on
his home alleys becomes just an
other bowler. There are only a small
number of the country's outstanding
bowlers who continue to maintain
an average nearly approximating
their averages at their home alleys.
Quite number of the so-called ex-
hibition bowlers must have partic-
ular alley finish upon which to do
their stuff. When these individuals
are permitted to practice certain
number of games in order to find
the particular spot on which to
start their ball on each alley, they
can then make a creditable show
ing, but in an A. B. c. tournament
they must begin to count immediate
ly after a game starts, no practice
being allowed except one ball on
each alley without pins being set
up.
Quite a number of the so-called
"hOt-shots" are practically scared
to death when they appear at the
A. b. C. tournament each year SIM
ply because they realize that they
have no advantage. They do not
know the "run' of the alleys, but
must go in cold and proceed to
knock down the brand new ten pins
which are spotted for each team.
Although alleys are resurfaced
each twelve months and all alleys
on which sanctioned league n d
tournament games are bowled are
certified as to being strictly regula-
ton so far as the specifications
are concerned, some bowling alley
proprietors, alley mechanics, resur-
facers and so-called sharpshooters
insist upon having alleys finished in
such a manner as to enable them to
bowl a hook ball that has terrific
power, and brings about excessive
or unnatural high scores that in the
end cause these particular individ-
uals to look ridiculous when they
bowl on alleys that are strictly fiat;
carry the proper amount of shellac
and are correctly polished in accord
ance with the written rules and in
tent thereof.
This practice can be compared
with a golfer who has been playing
on a s0-called crOquet course, and
then attempts to display his prof.
cheney on a championship golf
course.

of new safeguards for industry to
balance the gains achieved by la
Dor under the Wagner act. Among
those Madame Perkins invited were
William Green, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor;
John L. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial OrganiZa-
ton; Myron c. Taylor, board chair
man of United States Steel corpora
ton; Gerard Swope, board chair
man of General Electric corpora
ton; Harper Sibley, president of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, and government officials.
Certain of the Presidents advis-
ers have told him a law requiring
the incorporation of labor unions
should be passed; or that at least
there should be law similar to the
British trades union act which pro-
vides that all union funds must be
accounted for to the government
and that unions cannot participate
in sympathy or general strikes.
Organized labor always has OPP
posed any such legislation and prob
ably would continue to fight against
it.
John L. Lewis thinks one result
of the Wagner act decisions may
be the abandonment of the sit-down
strike, though this, he says, depends
on the attitude taken by employers
in the operation of the act. "Under
the courts decision" says Lewis,
workers now have machinery for
adjudication of disputes and the
making of contracts with employ
ers. Everything depends on the at
titude of employers, who showed no
disposition to be generous although
the right of labor to gather together
for its protection had been conceded
for a lifetime"

Americans Want to Fill
Soviet Warship Order

COVIET RUSSIA, which recently
- was said to have asked Aneri-
can help in building a navy that
would check Japanese ambitions,
wants to buy a knocked down"
battleship in the United States, and
two manufacturers are trying to adj
just the specifications so that they
can fill the order with the con-
sent of the State department. The
munitions control Office in Washing
ton at first ruled that a license
should be issued unless military Sc
crets were involved, but the State
department objected because the
proposals called for 16-inch guns to
be manufactured in this country,
and because the Soviet government
specified that the guns and armor
plate be inspected by the United
States navy.
Officials of the two American
companies, it was reported, be-
lieved it might be possible to meet
State department objections by
changes in the specifications.

nize her as a strong and unified
country under the leadership of
man who has the courage and the
wisdom to lift it out of a grave
emergency.
"My chief aim during the four
years I have spent in the United
States has been to give your people
a better understanding of mine,
their homes, and their ambitions.
But recently I have been made mel
ancholy by suggestions I have read
and heard of political disunion in
my fatherland.
Nothing can be farther from the
truth. Germany today is nation
actuated by single purpose, which
is to recover from the letters
placed upon her by the treaty of
Versailles. Germany wants to live
in friendliness and amity with other
nations of the world. But such a
peace must be constructive peace if
we are to achieve the friendly CO.
operation among nations which you
seem so much to desire here"
Over in Germany the anti-Jewish
crusade seemed to be growing more
intense. The latest instance reported
is the dismissal of Leo Blech, a
Jew, who has been conductor of the
Berlin State Opera house since 1906
when he was appointed by Kaiser
Wilhelm II. Hermann Goering,
Prussion premier and reich minister
of aviation, has been a strong sup
porter of this accomplished artist,
but pressure from the anti-Semites
grew too powerful and Blech was
ousted. -

Auto Strikers Lose
$65,0OO.OOO in Paw

TN THE last five months strikes in
i the automotive industry have
cost the workers between $65, 000,-
600 and $70,000,000 in wages. And
still, at the behest of John L. Lewis
and his c. I. O., they are planning
further strikes. What they gain,
beyond recognition of their union
which probably could be obtained
by negotiation wherever it is de-
served, is problematical. The fig
ures are from Wards Reports, Inc,
which says of losses to companies
affected that the net volume of bust
ness delayed by the strikes would
approximate 100000, 900, but what
proportion of this actually is lost
cannot be calculated. ~
''Let me tell Lewis here and now
that he and his gang will never get
their greedy paws on Ontario as
long as I'm prime minister" said
Premier Hepburn.
He thereupon let it be known that
he was prepared to push through
legislation that would exclude the
C. I. o. from Ontario if this be-
comes necessary to save the pulp
wood and mining industries from
C. I. o. control.
General Motors of Canada offered
the strikers at Oshawa various con-
cessions but not recognition of the
union. Hugh Thompson, U. A. w.

South Is Angered by
Anti-Lynching Act

(OUTHERN congressman found
" they were no longer in the sad
die when the house by vote of
276 to 119 passed the anti-lynching
bill. The debate was furious and
the representatives from the South
were deeply resentful.
The bill was sponsored by Repre-
sentative Joseph Gavagan of New
York whose district includes the big
negro city of Harlem. It provides
that any state officer who surren-
ders a prisoner to a mob shall be
guilty of felony and subject to
prosecution and severe penalties. In
addition, the county in which a
lynching occurs shall be liable for
$1,000 to $40, 900 damages, to be paid
to the family of the lynched person.
Proponents Of the measure were
greatly aided by a mob in Missis-
sippi that took two negroes from a
sheriff and tortured and burned
them to death. The local authori-
ties were supine and called the
shocking affair "closed incident"

thing to do with this.
One witness heard in support of
the bill was Smith Wildman Brook
hart, radical former senator from
Iowa. He said the Presidents pro-
posal was an issue in the campaign
because the opposition declared
what he would do to the Supreme
court.
"It was specifically made an is
sue in the campaign" said Mr..
Brookhart. 1.-THE President himself
did not so urge it because he prob
ably had not fully made up his
mind, but former Senator James A.
Reed, the ablest, most brilliant and
most forceful opponent the Presi-
dent had in the whole campaign,
did present in detail the Presidents
plan upon accurate information. He
dared the President to deny his
statement.
"There was no denial because
Senator Reed was telling the truth
and the President was content to
submit the issue upon the violent
arguments against it alone"

American BotUling Congress held this year

By ELMER H. BAUMGARTEN
IT SEEMS that Charlie Ebbets,
Il while in attendance at the 1906
A. b. G. tournament at Louisville,
KY, was so impressed with the tour
nament that it was his intention
to have the event awarded to New
York City. He said at the time that
il il was ever taken east of the
Allegheny mountains, it would never
be returned to the Mid-Western
states.
This display of enthusiasm was
misinterpreted by the bowlers of
the Western and Mid-Western states
and, as a result, the tournament
never was permitted to 60 east of
Buffalo until the 1885 event was
held at Syracuse.
The Eastern bOwlers made a re-
markable showing in organization
work, in patronizing the Syracuse
tournament, and living up to their
promise to return the tournament
to the West the next year many Of
the leaders from the Western cities
supported New York City in its cam
paign to obtain the tournament for
this year.
The entry of 4,O17 teams in this
years tournament must prove con-
clusively to all skeptics that the
Eastern seaboard is capable Of en-
listing such an entry as to make any
future tournaments in the East at
tractive to the bowlers of the United
States and Canada.
We entered in this years tour
nament approximately $4,000 in
dividual bOwlers some coming from
points as far as 5000 miles away.
The great majority of these were
accompanied by their wives; many
by their entire families. The aver
age stay was four or five days, but
some remained in the city for two
weeks or more and, as result, we
have been told that the American
Bowling Congress tournament and
convention is the most valuable of
all conventions and gatherings mas
much as there was consistent flow
of business into the tournament city
over a period Of weeks.

when carrying a full complement of
fuel and armament. It has four
twin row engines of a new type
which will deliver 1,400 horse power
each for takeoff. The speed is about
$50 miles an hour. There are five
streamlined blisters on the new ma
chine which are emplacements for
small, quick firing cannon, instead
of machine guns. These cannon will
outshoot any guns mounted on any
