she was in 1885, thus retaining her

of the canvas:

of 1886 are Shirley Temple, first:
Clark Gable, second; Fred Astaire
and Ginger Rogers, third; Robert
Taylor, fourth, Joe E. Brown,
fifth; Dick Powell, sixth; Joan

bert, eighth; jeanette Macdonald,

Ginger Rogers, fourth; Joan Craw-

HARRY MINOR AT
 SCENE OF STRIKE
Chairman of Police Board at Buckle Co. Plant
 as Observer

Commissioner Harry Minor, chair man of the police board, was on the scene at 2 o'clock this morning when the strike-bound Waterbury Buckle Co. plant on South Main street opened for the day. His pres ence is believed to have been in- spired by complaints from union members and picketS that they were being discriminated against by some of the policemen on duty near the plant. Union organizers Alex Cash- in and Philip Brainard declined to state whether or not they had made a complaint, but 1t is known that they conferred with Commissioner Minor at the city hall last night.
 Police would not confirm reports that several non-strikers were pelt- ed with tomatoes when they were several blocks away from the fac tory this morning on their way to work. Union leaders declared that they had advised the strikers to avoid trouble and to keep order.
 Policemen Insulting
 Strikers yesterday complained to Deputy Police Superintendent Dan- iel J. Carson that one of the police- men at the scene was passing in- sulting and abusive remarks. The deputy said he investigated but found no basis for the complaint.

 Parker's more accurate stroking gave him the first set easily. Dr. Prem, however, ran off lead of five games in the second set. At this moment a spectator in the top row of the stands suffered seiz- ure and began believing. This ap- parently unnerved Dr. Prem and Parker ran out the set in seven straight games. He followed through with an effortless victory in the final.
 The weather was warm and clou- dy. The Duchess of Kent arrived at the royal box while Don Budge of Oakland, Cal, and Ladislaus Hecht of Czechoslovakia were playing the first set of their match.
 Today's play in mems singles qualities winners for places in the quarter final round. Only 12 of the l6 surviving mems singles players, however, were to play today. Among those idle in this division was Gene Mako of Los Angeles.
