Joe. Belts St. Louis Hurlers for
.493 Average in His Major
League Campaigning.

2S the Associated Press.
ct. LOUIS, June 1s.-There Is one
American League ball player who
hniles with glee every time he lands
In st. Louis or every time the Browns
drop of in New York for a game.
He is Joe Di Maggie, who for a
year and half has made life quite
miserable for Brownie pitchers-and
pleasant for his own batting average.
Joe is up past $50 in the averages
right now and hit $50 last season.
but If he had batted against the
Browns more often there is no tell
ing where he might have landed.
Since arriving on the major league
horizon he has belted Brownie hurlers
to the tune of .493.
Last season Joe smacked the locals
for .525. He marched up to bat 80
Zines and collected 50 hits. So far
this year he has made Is hits off
the Brownies in IS trips. The COM
bined marks show he has pounded
out SO hits in 1874 times up.
This seasons drives include double.
. triple and five homers-three of
which came in succession in last Sun

past training camps, like Tommy
Loughran's before he battled Primo
Camera. They had to build up Tommy
because he was tired little man who
couldn't punch and the Carnera
bubble had not burst and people
looked upon him as ponderous killer
who should not be allowed in the
same ring with Loughran.
The promoters had to build
up Tommy for that fight. They
were surprised, too. to discover
how nearly correct they were
in Understanding Carnera and
drawing fancy pictures of
Loaghran as world champion.
Tommy almost beat the big,
suety mountain in Miami.
The Braddock-Louis affair Is likely
to be something like the Loughran-
Camera thing. True, Louis bubble
was burst when Schmeling knocked
him of, but even so the Bomber was
heavy choice over Braddock six
weeks ago. And in the nght, which

There's no place like home, sweet
home, for those Indians from Cleve-
land.
Put them in their own bailiWck,
and they look as money in the bank.
Send them on the road, and they
founder around like a basketful of
freshly caught fish.
For three years they've had about
the strongest club. on paper, in the
American League. Year after year the
experts have rated them a top
pennant contender. Yet that habit
OF leaving their winning ways in
Cleveland has shut them out of the
pennant chase each time Last year
it even cost them a frst-division
berth.
From what's been going on so far
this season, it appears they haven't
changed bit. Only last week they
concluded a fairly successful home
stand with IL victories against 8
defeats. At one time during the
Cleveland stay they were as high as

The twin win not only boosted the Sox

HEARING SOUGHT
Workers Press Charge Of
Discrimination in Lay.offs
Despite Denial.

ask a hearing on the matter
Representing the compliments,
Henry McKinnen, Catonsville elec-
trician, who has been discharged in
the large lay-of, announced he would
mot let the matter rest here" His
plans, however, were incomplete, he
declared while interviewing workers
on the slO,00O,0O0 low-rent housing
project.
Complaints Of discrimination against
more labor organizations in the cur
rent lay-off were called "unsubstan-
tiated" by Acting Resettlement Ad-
ministrator c. B. Baldwin yesterday.
More Lay-offS Due.
The official said an investigation of
the labor setup here had "disproved"
charges that Washington unions we're
controlling the job He pointed out
that the majority of skilled workers
terminated here recently were union
men.
The present lay-off, started about a
week ago, will mean the loss of nearly
1000 jobs by the end of the next 30
day period. resettlement executives
said. Wholesale discharges are neces-
sary, they declared, since the project
is nearing completion and there isn't
enough work to go around" About
5000 men are now working here, and
the project is scheduled to open for
occupancy by August /.
Held Natural Reaction.
Complaints are met by resettlement
executives with the statement that
unionists also claim discrimination
under similar circumstances.

complained that we give preference to
