NEW YORK, June 19.-For
the first time this season, Chicago
Cubs, who were in the cellar at
the beginning of play. are now
one full game ahead of their
nearest competitors, New York

The Bruins and Pills staged a
Suggest, the former collecting a
total of Is hits and the latter
amassing 10. Philadelphia COM
mitted five errors and Chicago,
three.
Carl Hubbell was knocked out
of the box for the sixth straight
time as the Reds got to his de-
livery in the third inning. Both
teams did not hit hard, Cincinnati
securing Tut seven safeties, while
Rison, a rookie. held New York
to five bingles.
ST. Louis Cardinals kept apaee
with the leaders and gained a
game on the Giants. The Gas
house Gang downed Boston Bees,
5 to 2. Weiland. Card mounds

blows. The Dodgers miscued four
times.

6 IN PLANE SAVED
BY DARING YOUTH
Pensacola Scenic Trip Pas
senger bangles Over Fuse.
lage to Fix Wheel.
B' the Associated Press.

PENSACOLA, Fla, January 23.-
A dangling youth hung out of dis
abled plane in midair to repair its
landing gear here today, possibly sav-
ing the lives Of its pilot and five pass
engerS.
James Diamond. 22-year-old bakery
employe. found himself involunt arily
thrust into hero's role on his first
airplane flight when a safety cable
beneath the fuselage OF the plane Of
Walter M. Blake, commercial flyer,
gave way and landing wheel folded
back while Blake was taking pas
sengers on trip over Pensacola.
Landing Prevented.
Diamond, Mrs. c. H. Hutcnings,
Mrs. NJ. w. White and A. A. and L. A..
Macarthur. brothers. all of Pensacola.
were making a 10-minute scenic trip
in Blake's plane. The pilot prepared
to land when he saw his ground crew
waving TO him frenziedly.
Blake finally discovered the trouble,
but was perplexed as to what to do
He could not land his plane with the
damaged gear and he could not leave
the controls to repair the trouble,
since none of his passengers could pi-
lot the craft.
Blake borrowed a lipstick from one
Of his women passengers and scrawled
request that rope be lowered to him
from another plane.
Two Navy planes tried unsuccess-
fully to lower the rope to Blake.
Blake's gasoline gauge stood at empty
after Two hours of aimless flying.
Youth Is Selected.
In desperation. the pilot decided to
ask one of his male passengers to go
over the side to repair the cable.
Diamond. picked because of his
lighter weight, didn't think much Of
the idea but agreed. Over he went,
with the Macarthur brothers holding
his ankles. The pilot had improvised
rope by tying several safety belts
together. Hanging dizzily. Diamond
finally hooked the line under a strut
so that the landing wheel could
be pulled back into place. Blake per-
formed a perfect job of landing.

|DOCKMEN OFFERED
PAY CONCESSIONS.
Ship Owners Move to End
Deadlock by Clarifying
Peace Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. January "a
Shipowners moved tonight to break the
deadlock in the 86-day maritime strike
by clarifying" their peace offer to
the Longshoremen's Union.
They added a promise which would
assure the dockmen q practical g.
hour day at 95 cents an hour and $l.40
for overtime.
The clarification set forth that the
owners did not contemplate insistence
upon relief gangs Of longshoremen
before pm"
This meant they would agree to pay
the longshoremen 95 cents an hour
for any six hours between 8 am. and
S pm. and that II the same dockmen
should continue work after their six
hour shift they would receive $l.40
an hour for the overtime.
The previous owner offer would have
required the union to furnish men at
straight time" rates to finish out the
work day at 5 pm.
Early Meetings Planned.
The new offer apparently ap-
preached closely to a demand Of the
longshoremen for 95 cents An hour for
the six work hours between am.
and 3 pm. and Sl40 overtime there
after.
Both sides announced they would
meet not later than tomorrow to take
up the proposal.
The sailing of the Panama Pacific
liner Virginia from New York for the
West Coast also lent substance to a
growing belief that a break in the
situation was becoming more likely.
With the longShoremen claiming
18 900 of the 10000 striking maritime
workers, leaders OF the walkout said
any agreement acceptable to the dock
men would go far toward ending the
tie-up. because that union would hold
the balance OF power in the general
voting on peace agreements.
The marine engineers met ship
owners in an unsuccessful effort to
obtain a virtual CLOSED shop" clause
in their tentative agreement. En-
ployers told them the agreement would
have to stand until rejected by the
union membership.
Alteration Argued.
Shipowner spokesman T. G. Plant
informed the sailors union he would
prefer not" to alter a provision in
the tentative agreement with that
group which contains a guarantee
against stoppage Of work during the
life of the contract. The sailors had
sought a modification requiring them
not to strike unless there was a vio-
lation Of the agreement
Employers asked the masters. mates
and pilots to speed action on a ship
owner peace offer involving wage in
creases. the eight-hour day and union
recognition.
They also rejected a compromise
wage proposal from the radio teleg-
raphers.

"SIT-DOWN" VOTE
TAKEN BY UNION
Poll Taken by Cumberland Rub
Der Workers to Learn
Attitude.

BY INe ASSOCldIcQ EAcSS.
CUMBERLAND, Md, January 23.-
A mass meeting of approximately 300
members of the Rubber Workers
Union Of America voted today on
whether the union will support the
Shutdown" strike at the Kelly-Spring-
field tire plant here.
Results of the balloting will not be
made public until votes hav been cast
by union members now inside the plant.
William J. Carney. organizer for the
u,.ion, came here from Detroit today
to urge support Of the strike. His ap-
proval was echoed by Ralph Beard,
president of Local No. 26. the Cum
berland branch of the union.
Meanwhile, with their ranks only
slightly diminished by family pres
sure" the drum-tire workers, who
started the strike Tuesday night,
planned their. first week end within
the locked building.
Some Of the "sit-downers" returned
to their homes in response to pleas
from their families, but the relatives
Of those remaining continued to hand
food in to them through the =
foot fence surrounding company
property.
Company officials have indicated
they will be ready to negotiate as soon
as the strikers leave company property.
