one Of them in the ninth, which
put the Yanks ahead. and Lou Gehrig
clouted his tenth of the year.
The defeat did not cut the Yanks'
one-game American League lead since
their nearest rivals also were defeated

REFORE delving into the routine de-
tails it might be added that Fer
rell and Ferrell, Inc, seemed to do
something 10 the Mats today. That is,
generally. Anyway, the Mats did not
resemble the bunch that had been
clowning its way through the West
Line drives that could have been
doubles, triples and even home runs
were caught in the outfield The in
field performed several minor miracles
and the work of Rick behind the bat
was revelation after the Washing
ton clubs o-and-one- half year diet
Of minor-league backstops, plumbers,
BARRIERS. etc.
Yves walked into the box to find
the Sox uncommonly confident of VIC
tory. They had as a matter of fact
knocked him out the last seven times
Ferrell had faced them But today the
worm turned.
For the first two innings the SoX
did not get a semblance of a hit
sbut in the third round Luke Sewell
walked Rigney sacrificed, and Ray
Radcliff singled to score the first
run Of the game.

NELO ALMADA, the new center

MELO ALMADA, the new center
fielder, so far has done every
thing even Ben Chapman could do.
He has hit, felded and thrown like
one of the best in the business. In
addition, he pulled Chapman" in
the first inning today by singing and
promptly stealing second base in easy
fashion. The young MeXican's play in
holding Kreevich's drive to a double
in the third inning, however. was his
best contribution. If he had not
trapped the ball by diving with gloved-
hand outstretched it would have gone
for home run. in all probability. and
that might have made a different ball
game.

|H1CAGo, June l2.-The dis
tinguished base ball firm Of
Ferrell and Ferrell, Inc, re-
Gently transferred from Bos-
ton to Washington, completed an
afternoon of important business here
today, and displayed signs of rapid
acclimatization in the new environ
ment.
The most important item of the
days business was the breaking of
sthe Nationals three-game losing
streak at the expense of the White
Sox in a 60 game.
With Brother Rick crashing the
lineup as the firSt-String catcher,
Yves Ferrel let down the hard-hit-
ting Chisox with four hits and was
rewarded when Rookie John Rigney
OF the enemy weakened in the eighth
inning and gave up four runs.
This uprising, which was featured
by home run off the bat of Johnny
Stone, smashed a % tie and broke
up fine mound duel in which Wes
never showed to better advantage. His
slow curves and change of pace. slip
ping across the corners of the plate,
completely battled the SoX, excepting
one inning-the third. In this frame
the Chicagos took a 20 lead.

THE great American national

Daniel of the Commerce Department
told nation wide radio audience in
the weekly broadcast yesterday on
great American industries.
Approximately 10000 900 tickets to

In the United States, compared with
50000,000 for base ball games. Foot
ball, boxing, horse racing, wrestling

larity, he said. Next in line is a new
sport which has begun to reach tre-
mendous proportions-soft ball. There
now are 100000 soft ball teams in the |
United States.
Base ball had its origin in Coopers-
town, N Y, when Abner Do-aseiS,."
and Alexander Cartwright invented"
the game OF lone old cat" which grew
into the present game. Base ball real-
ly was established during the Civil
War by soldiers behind the lines and
grew into the proportions of a craze
Immediately after the war, Daniel said,

boy who was just signed by the Mats
I'm glad to hear that he was
signed" said Harris, because he's
got chance to be pretty good
pitcher. I don't know whether We'll
keep him. Perhaps it would be an in
justice to the boy if we did, because
it would be pretty safe to say that
he isn't ready. But Jacobs does look
like he'll be a pretty good pitcher in

c. ]. o. Affiliate.
BY the Associated Press. .

By the Associated Press.
+. NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 5.-A G. I. o.
union threatened yesterday to strike
rather than sign contract under
which the employer would have the
right to discharge workers suffering
from diabetes or venereal disease.
The contract proposed by the Mode
Novelty Co. to the United Used Prod
ucts Local Industrial Union, No. 1872,
Of the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, called for a closed shop,
recognition Of the G. I. o. as exclusive
bargaining agent, minimum wages
and other features agreeable to the
union.
Balk at Terms.
But when the firm sought to include
the right to demand a health certifi-
cate stating the employe was free Of
diabetes or venereal disease, and the
right to discharge those so affected,
the union baked.
William J. Carney, regional c. I. o.
director, said the clause was silly"
IF any such precedent were set
employers would be able to bar men
by the thousands, using the medical
excuse as an excuse. I never heard
Of such provision in a union agree
ment. Maybe it has something to be
said for it. but I'll be damned If I'll
be responsible for the first agreement
with such a provision" he asserted.
Secs Bad Precedent.
"For labor union in an industry
In which food Is not handled to agree
to permit the employer to subject
employees who may have been on his
pay roll for period Of weeks, months
or even years to an examination such
as this man Is asking would be a very
bad precedent for the union to SET"
Jacob Lipman, attorney for the COM
pany, said its products were handled
by many children who frequently put
them in their mouths while playing.
He declared the idea Of children play

BOTTLE EXCHANGE
SOON TO REOPEN
Officials Study Terms of
ContraCt-Workers' De-
! mands Will Be Met.

The plant Of the Washington Milk
Bottle Exchange remained closed to-
day while officials studied the terms
shorter hours and closed shop for
its employees, but its reopening was
expected momentarily.
r. Larmour Oyster, manager of the
exchange. announced yesterday after
noon, within few hours after the
plant shut down following walkout
by 16 employees, that all the demands
made by his workmen would be met.
The contract before the exchange
directors this morning was signed late
yesterday by James Kimbro, colored
organizer for the American Fedora
ton of Labor and president of Local
81, Building Service Employees Union,
the organization with which the
strikers are affiliated
Provisions for minimum wage Of
IS cents per working hour, 48-hour
week and the employment of men,
bers of Local 81, constituting all the
demands made by the strikers, were
contained in the document.
It was expected the directors would
authorize the signing of the contract
and instruct the men to return i'm
mediately to their posts at the ex-
change, which daily handles the re-
distribution of $1,000 milk bottles to
Capital dairies.
No alarm was felt among the local
dairy concerns because of the strike,
executives explaining they had a
supply of bottles on hand sufficient
to meet their needs for several days.
Exchange Manager Praised.
The president of the strikers union
had only praise today for the exchange
manager. "Mr. Oyster is a broad
minded man and has treated his en-
ployes with great fairness" he said.
The organizer said that not only
did Mr.. Oyster accede to his mems de-
mands but added that when the walk
out came, at am. yesterday, he in
vited the men to return to the warmth
OF the plant and await the completion
Of negotiations, instead of lettering on
the cold streets outside.
