to avoid bargaining with the c. I. O..
group.

to appeal the labor boards decision to
the Circuit Court. A Federal district
Judge in Pittsburgh previously had
ruled the company's contract with the
A. F. Of L. valid. The labor board
refused to recognize the opinion and
scheduled the election for next week
Judge Biggs permitted the appeal
AFTER listening to a four-hour argu-
ment by counsel for the company, the
labor board and the c. l. o. The argu-
ment was held IN his chambers. He
refused to discuss the import Of the
order and said no date was set for
the hearing on the appeal in Phila-
delphia.
The company was represented by
William A. Wilson. Benjamin Gordon

He first stepped into the national

AAU official had him compete in
the indoor nationals for the first

At the Texas RELAYS early in April
Tolmich won the 100-yard dash and
then romped over the high hurdles

Lou Gehrig Shows Way to

Giants Break, Pirates
tBy Associated Press.


Fred Farmhouse, for ten years
an up-and-down curve-baller in the
National League, crashed baseball's
portal to glory in behalf of Brock
lyn with a no-hit, no-run game over
Cincinnati. His performance was the
89th in diamond history and the
second no-hitter of this big league
season.
New York's Giants are still in hot
pursuit of the making Chicago
Cubs, but have not been able to
gain better than an even break with
Pittsburgh. More rain than base
hits fell yesterday as Ed Brandt
and Mace Brown pitched shutout
ball for the Pirates in the first game
and Al Smiths five-hit pitching
won the second for the Giants. Phil
adelphia took both games of its
double-header from the sinking
Cards.
In the American League, Lou
Gehrig clouted his 29th homer to
start the Yanks' scoring, then doub-
led and carried home the winning
run against st. Louis. Pete Apple
ton limited the Chicago White Sox
to three hits to give Washington
a shutout victory, while Jack Will
son upset Detroit, letting the Tigers
down with only five hits as Boston
evened the series.
Cleveland continued its drive
toward the first division by handing
the Athletics a second consecutive
defeat.
