Cohen Blows Gift Lead.

A FTER the first two men were re-
tired in the opening inning yes
terday. Cleveland batted around
Weaver for a 3-to-0 lead, and when
the Indian inheld presented the Grif1s
with two runs in the second round
Harris lifted Weaver and replaced
him with sgd Cohen, the left-hander
sgd was great until two errors by
Johnny Kroner helped the Mats to
four more unearned runs in the sixth
inning. This gave Washington a
6-to-3 lead. but after that Cohen was
pretty ineffective and with Linke all
ing, Bucky either had to keep Cohen
in the box or use Rookie Bucky Jacobs.
He gambled on Cohen-and lost.
Travis Error Hurts.
CYD gave up two runs to the Indians
in their half of the sixth, cutting
the score to 6-5, and in the eighth an
error by Cecil Travis helped the Tribe
to tie the score.
Rated from the start of the season
by Harris as pitcher good for only
one or two innings at a stretch, Cohen
did nothing to change Bucky's mind
Still and all, he might have sneaked to
victory if he were able to sacrifice.
Rick Ferrell, f'instance, opened the
Washington ninth with a single. With
the score tied it was logical enough to
sacrifice, but sgd was complete
flop at bunting and finally was
forced to swing. He did-and hit into
a double play. Blooey went a fine
scoring chance.
Dennis Galehouse, third Cleveland
pitcher, then opened the Cleveland
ninth with a single. took second on
1ary's sacrifice and scored when
Kroner the Culprit became Johnny

Maybe few bunting lessons

4 ably managing a pennant
winner in whatever Valhalla
~ base ball men go to, looked
down on his New York Giants today
and found the view well-nigh perfect
They were leading the National
League-by margin thin as dime,
but leading neverthless-and a trio
OF McGraW men showed the way.
First, there was Bill Terry, who can
take bow himself for the way he's
handled the reins since Old JaWn gave
them up in 80. Then there was Mas
ter Melvin OFT, the veteran youngster
OF the National League, the little fell
low who lifts up his front foot, swings
at those high hard ones, and deposits
them where they do the most good
for his side.
And last, but far from least. there
was King Carl Hubbell, the master of
the screw ball.
Just Two Points Ahead.
HESE three, ana the fight that was
McGraW's heritage to the Giants,
made it appear today that the Giants
are on the way to their second straight
pennant, their third under Terry At
the moment, here were the statistics
on the two clubs still in the red-hot
pennant parade:

They're remarkable collection.
these Giants. They don't play great
ball; sometimes they don't even play
good ball. But they're money
team and they play those breaks for
all they're worth.
Right now, such other powers as
the Cubs, Cardinals and Pirates ap-
pear to be quietly falling apart. So,
the Giants, putting together timely
hitting and good pitching, are max
ing the most of it.
Yesterday, with the Cubs idle. the
Giants had chance to 20 into the
lead. They turned the trick with
a 4-3 decision over the Cincinnati
Reds, and that's where McGraW's
boys came in.
Hubbell Called to Rescue.
OF COURSE, they had a lot of
help from Terry's new Terriers.
But OFT, pulled in from the outfield
and now playing as good a third
base as any in the league, belted his
tWenty-eighth home with a mate
aboard.
1hlngs were fine until Rookie Cliff
Melton and Relief Finger Dick Coff-
man couldn't stand prosperity in the
seventh. Then Terry came up out of
the dugout with a rush and waved
wildly for Hubbell. Old Squarepants
sauntered in-in the memory of the
Oldest resident he's never been known
to hurry-and had the Reds begging
for mercy. Six men went down in
order, before he gave up dinky little
scratch single and then retired the
last batter.
The Giants game was the only one
in the National League. In the
American League, the Detroit Tigers
tripped the Yankees, 5-4, with Hank
Greenberg betting No. 80 and Round
house Rudy York pokng No. %, and
the Cleveland Indians pushed over a
ninth-inning run for a 7-6 win over
the Senators.

NAVY YARD LAYOFFS SEEN

In addition to the Washington
Navy Yard matter, President Roose-
welt and Assistant Secretary Edison
discussed all plans of short cuts
and administrative measures by
which the present building of de-
stroyers and other ships could be
Speeded up. 1t was quite apparent
that the recent news of a largely
increased British naval building
program has spurred the Navy De-
partment to top speed and that
it was also extremely embarrassed
over the inability to get raw ma
terials.
Mr.. Edison said that he thought
the whole matter would be COM
plicated by the English govern
ment dipping into the American
market for any naval supplies that
it could get and would therefore
create very much livelier market
than the American Navy wants to
see at this time. He said there
were many angles to the problem
and that some of them would have
a stimulating effect on the United
States naval building program and
that others might have a detri-
mental effect.

So said R. C. Cosgrove, Westing-
house manager of household re-
frigeration sales, in an interview
today. He added:
"The Observation-Disclosures busi-
ness has had an uninterrupted
growth for almost 20 years with
one exception. In only one year
did the business fall below that
of a previous year, and in the
subsequent year the increase was
so large that the falling off was
quickly absorbed. The expecta-
tion for 1887 is that in excess of
2,25O,OOO household electric re-
frigeratOrs will be installed for
American housewives"

UNI0NSCHARGE
ISOLATION IN
6. NJ. PLANTS
Company Arms Guards
With Clubs, Farley
Envoy Says

DETROIT, Feb. 18 QNS).
Charges General Motors Corpora
ton was attempting to isolate"
union men by changing their
working hours and shifting them
from plant to plant were being
aired today at the collective bar
gaining conference between the
union and the company here.
Wyndham Mortimer, U n it e d
Auto Workers Union vice presi,
dent and one of the conferees,
said before entering the third day
sessions of the meeting this morn
ing that the charges would be
placed before the conference i'm,
mediately.
Other cases of alleged discrim-
ination against union workers at
Flint, st. Louis and GAINESVILLE,
Wis, also will be considered, he
said, in the hope they can be
cleared away and discussion on
other phases of union demands
proceed.
Charges Intimidation
Mortimer also charged heavy
supplies of clubs we're being sent
into General Motors plants to arm
company guards, and that regular
workers we're being enlisted as
part-time guards in what he said
was an attempt to intimidate
union workers.
He said:
THE union will insist the COM
pany cease enlisting regularly
employed workers as plant
guards in addition to their other
duties. This practice has been
publicly admitted by KnudSen
(William S. KnudSen, executive
vice president of General Mo-
tOrs). Under guiSe of plant pro-
lection, nOnuniOn workers are
being armed with clubs and paid
a premium of an hours wage
each day to intimidate union
members. Such a police force
can have no other purposes and
can only tend to inflame labor
relations"
Alleges Discrimination
Earlier Mortimer had said:
I'VE have been informed union
men going back to work in Flint,
st. Louis and GAINESVILLE, Wis,
are being Disseminated against"
Mortimer disclosed also that at
yesterdays session C. E. Wilson,
General Motors executive vice
president and another of the con-
ferees, had informed him union
men were breaking terms of the
agreement which ended the
00,000-a-day strike a week ago
today.
He said:
'Travis said 1000 clubs had
been sent into the guards at

is certainly not a friendly geS-
ture on the part of the man.
