the killing throw to "Rawhide''
Gehrig.
In the eighth inning he was
on base when frankie Crosetti
doubled. The bases were loaded,
with Gordon on first base. He
scored standing up despite swift
handling of the ball by Armada.
We note for the record that
Elon Hogsett pitched for Wash
ington and was assisted by Pete
Appleton. Hogsett allowed four
runs in seven innings and Apple
ton allowed three in one frame.
Lou Gehrig failed to hit a ball
out of the infield. Lou is off bal

pitches and stabbing at bad balls.
Were it anyone but Lou Gehrig
he would be out of the lineup,

Lefty Gomez as a rival. If the
temperamental Terrell pitches the
way he did against the Athletics
he will have a few extra kinks
in his natural marcel wave.
END OF STREAK
The winning streak of the Ma
tionals ended abruptly. It would
seem that the boys just can't win
IN Yankee Stadium. They blew
9 and won 2 here last year, and
they certainly blew the games yes
terday. They acted as if hypno-
tized after the second inning.
Charley Ruffing pitched shut:
out ball, allowing four hits which
were good for four bases. In the
first inning Taft Wright singled
and went to third on a wallop to
center by Zeke Bonura If
Bucky Harris had realized what
was to follow he would have
placed a flag or built some sort
of a cairn to mark the highwater
mark of the National attack .
Throughout the afternoon the
Yankee infields were talking to
themselves out of sheer loneliness.
Only five Washington players got
on base, and not one of them went
past first base.
GORDON FAST
We can't tell you how this
young Joe Gordon, second base
man of the Yankees is going to
do as a hitter, but don't entertain
any doubts concerning his speed
and ability in the field. He made

,r. - This CONVEX
'" A''A Sation is not
in the least extraordinary, for
the simple reason that Shorty
is the blackamoor exercise boy
for Mrs. Emil Denemark's 81
horse string at Havre de Grace
and Diamond Smith is her stable
boy. They have right and a
reason to flatter the feminine
horse-flesh devotees. Mrs. Dene-
mark, Shorty and Diamond
Smith all have their hopes on
Blind Eagle in the Chesapeake
today, and, although Dauber is
the favorite, there'll be a little
on Blind Eagles nose for the
three Of them-owner, exerciSer
and stable boy.
Mrs. Denemark doesn't train
her own horses, but she likes to
be at the paddock to give them
the proper send-off; see that
the tack is in good condition,
and give her jockey instructions
on just how that particular
horse should be run to get the
best speed out Of him.
FeW Are Trainers
The ranks of women owners
are large but few are owner
trainers. Mrs. John Bosley, of
Baltimore, is one. Her string
Of % horses run on the Mary
land tracks. Chase Me was q
product of her stable. He
started out as a show ring horse
and was taken up as a four
year-old and put to flat racing.
He had never been beaten up
to the time he ran against
Equipoise and broke his leg
coming into the stretch about
two years ago.
Mary Hirsch, Of New York, is
another owner-trainer whose
horses race the big tracks. Her
most promising is No Sir, which
won at Hialeah this winter and
was barely nosed out by Court
Scandal in the Florida Derby.
Another woman who has her
hand we'll in the game Is Mrs.
Elmer Trueman, of Washing
ton, owner of Toddle On-the
only flat racer in the Trueman
stable, but a real conner. Elmer
Trueman trains for the Pelletri
stable on the Maryland tracks
and Mrs. Trueman is supposed
to handle the business end of
things, but she finds it hard not
to have a great deal to do with
Toddle On.

From Toddle On's perform
ance at Havre de Grace in the
Sudbrook on Thursday in de-

horses of the day, it looks like
the Truemans have done a good

She has sisterly affection
for Sherman, 25-year-old stable
pony: adores Callahan who rides
him, and goes best of all when

Toddle On is somewhat on the
fleshy side right now, but like
a wise trainer should, Mrs.
Trueman is keeping her that
way so the filly can train down

better races to come. Next thing
on the slate for her will be The

Hdrris Proves Stundout
Boxer on Guild PROGRAM
Tdpp Loses TO
SpedN,A.A.U.
Cha m pion
BY BOB ADDE

If they ever settled wars be-
tween nations with boxing gloves,
the United States would win the
pennant going away. That is if
all our Army boxers were like
Ralph Harris, of Fort Belvoir.
Ralph was last-minute entry in
the Washington Newspaper Guild
boxing tournament at Turner's
Arena last night and he captured
the major share of what cheers
escaped from the cultured Threats
OF the dignified crowd that saw
the show.
Everyone looked forward to see
ing Willie Speary, national A. A. U.
bantamweight cha pion, but
Speary's bout with Willie Tapp,
our local titleholder, was an anti
climax.
BARNES NEAR KAYO
Harris, who holds the Third
Corps Area championship for this
section as well as the District
A. A. U. title, was opposed by
Marion Barnes, South Atlantic
States middleweight titleholder.
Barnes stepped out in the first
round like War Admiral taking a
workout but he pulled up like a
tired turtle in slow motion when
Ralph began to lombard him with
right hands.
The soldier boy was shooting
those leather hand grenades to the
body and chin with expert marks
manship and the final bell was the
only thing that reprieved Barnes
from a knockout. Harris stag
gered Marion with a rifling right
hand in that session, then followed
up his attack with a barrage of
punches which had Barnes dizzy.
Ralph won the unanimous deci-
sion. 49,
Speary was given a hard fight
by Tapp but the local boy couldn't
punch as hard as the Pennsylva-
MAN The national champion has
a good left hook and a pretty fair
right hand but he takes too many
punches. A harder hitter than
Tapp might have floored or even
knocked out Speary. The latter
is good fighter but far from the
Standout boxer his reputation had
tabled him.
Ea:A,c ONE KNOCKOUT i.
One knockout was registered In
the seVen-bout program. Leo Mil
Ter, the Army heavyweight cham
pion, forfeited to Leo Katalinas,
Of Catholic University, because of
cut eye. The lone kayo was
scored by Bill Manley, Baltimore
lightweight champion, who flat
tened Johnny Booth, of the Devon
Athletic Club, Cumberland, Md,
in 2:08 Of the first.
Bill Nolan, District light heavy.
weight champion, floored Leo
Stoll, Baltimore titleholder, five
times in their bout. Bill won the
decision but he couldn't paste
Leo's shoulders to the deck for
keeps. Stoll was up and down
like an oil stock in the first
round. He must have been aw-
fully tired because he took three
nine counts and one six in that
session.
Billy Banks and Jimmy Mont
gomery, two colored bantam
weights, slugged each other
dizzy for three rounds with Banks
getting the decision. Tony De-
Toto was a bit too wild and Bernie
Morris won the verdict. Tony
couldn't control his punches and
at times almost decapitated Ref
cree Charlie Reynolds. Delton
Parker, of Cumberland, Md, out
pointed Harry Sunderland. 5alti-
more lightweight champion, in a
fast scrap.

Two Packing Industry
Strikes Are Settled

Chicago (ILNS).-News of settle
ment of two strikes came in at the
same time, though one was not ex-
pected so early.
The Chicago stockyards strike,
which lasted two weeks, was settled
by an agreement that the company
recognize the C. |. o. union as the
sole bargaining agency, will continue
negotiations on wages, hours and
working conditions, and will put all
agreements in writing, signed by both
parties.
The Armour plant in Indianapolis
has settled the strike or rather lock-
out, resulting from the effort of the
plant to work its men So hours week.
The Packinghouse Workers Organic
ing Committee, G. l. o., agreed to some
increase above 40 hours a week when
the need could be shown.

indianapolis (ILNS) The Interna-
tional Typographical Union announced
here it's members had defeated in a
referendum vote proposal that local

six-day, 48-hour week.
By defeating the proposal the union
reserved the right to limit it's mem
bers' work to five days week. 1t
also voted to amend it's laws which
forbid renewal of present bonus scales.
It defeated a proposal requiring
working pensioners to pay 2 per cent
pension and mortuary assessment on
monthly earnings of more than $50.
Present law requires payment on earn
ings over $50.
The union also voted to change the
inauguration of elective officers from

ton is held in Colorado Springs, Colo.

UNEMPLOYMENT
PAYMENTS SHOW
DROP I'm OCTOBER

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Pay-
ment of $35 ,23o,723 in unemployment
benefits during October, decrease of
1872 per cent from the September to-
tai, was announced by the Social Sc
curity Board. While benefit payments
continued the decline begun late in
August, the volume of initial claims
received during October increased
slightly-3.8 per cent-for the first
time since April
All but three of the 20 states now
paying benefits reported drop in
payments, the decreases ranging from
400 per cent in Connecticut to 0.3
per cent in Minnesota Several of the
states attributed the drop to improv-
ing employment conditions, although
in considerable number of cases ex-
haustion of wage credits was cited as
an important factor.
In addition to Connecticut, which
showed the largest decrease in amount
Of benefits paid, IL other states re-
ported decreases of 20 per cent or
more California, Louisiana, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon,
Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and
Wisconsin. Only Maine, South Caro-
lima and Ida reported increases in
benefit payments from September to
October; and in Idaho, where benefits
first became payable in September,
the increase reflected the usual ex-
perience of states in the initial period
Of their benefit programs.

exercised freely their right of choice.
No Power to Annul Contracts
I'VE conclude that the board was
without authority to require the pc
titioning companies to desist from
giving effect to the Brotherhood con-
tracts, as provided in subdivision (f),

In another portion of the opinion
the Supreme Court upheld the Labor
Boards contention that although the
Edison Company is intra-state in
character the federal government has
jurisdiction because some of its power
is apple to interstate activities.

remedy to the San Quentin prisoner.
John F. Finerty, counsel for Mooney,
filed a brief and appeal to the con-

petition for an original writ of habeas
corpus.
Counsel makes this final appeal to
the conscience of the court it said,
"solely from sense of duty to the pc
titioner, and to himself as member
of the bar of this court
Counsel is only too well aware that
he risks seeming both futilely to tax
the patience of this court and to adopt
methods which may well appear naive
or worse, deliberately spectacular"

Majority Opinion Holds Board Has No Authority To Order
Edison Company To Scrap Contract With /. B. E. W.,
Affiliate OF American Federation Of Labor

(By A. F. of L. Weekly News Service)
Washington, d. C.-In an outstand-
ing decision holding that the National
Labor Relations Board acted Illegally
in ordering the Consolidated Edison
Company of New York City to abro-
gate it's contracts with the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, the Supreme
Court of the United States definitely
ended the boards practice of nullify-
ing, at the behest of the c. l. O., agree
ments negotiated with employers by
American Federation of Labor unions
History of Case
The case came before the Labor
Board in May, 1887, when the United
Electric and Radio Workers of Amer
lea, affiliated with the c.. |. o., filed
a charge that the Edison companies
were resorting to unfair labor prac-
tices prohibited by the Labor Act.
During the same month the Edison
companies signed agreements with
the international Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers providing for the rec
ognition of the Brotherhood as the
collective bargaining agency for those
employees who were members of the
Brotherhood, with the usual stipula-
tions as to hours, wages, working con-
ditions, etc, and for the arbitration
of disputes.
The Labor Board ruled that the con-
tracts with the Brotherhood were ex-
ecuted under such circumstances that
they were invalid under the provisions
of the Labor Relations Act and or
dered the Edison companies to cease
from giving them effect.
The Edison companies and the Elec-
trical Workers Brotherhood petitioned
the United States Circuit Court of

aside the Labor Boards order. The
Labor Board, supported by the G. |. O.
union, asked the Appeals Court to en-
force the order. The Circuit Court
granted the boards petition. The Edi-
son companies and the Electrical
Workers Brotherhood appealed the
Circuit Courts decision to the Su-
preme Court.
Chief Justice Delivers Opinion

opinion of the court, handled without
gloves the Labor Boards absurd argu-
ment that the Edison companies had

Chicago (ILNS). - The Chicago
Newspaper Guild called a strike on
the two Hearst Chicago daily news
papers on December S. All of the %
members of the American Newspaper
Guild employed by the Chicago Hearst
organization walked out. The balance
of the 5000 Hearst employees, a vast
majority of whom are members of
American Federation of Labor affili-
ates, remained at work.
The Chicago American, the evening
newspaper, and the Herald and Exam
iner, the morning newspaper, con-
tinued to publish regular editions.
The American Newspaper Guild
threatened the Hearst management
with mass picketing, but only 10 pick
cts were on the line at noon on the
first day of the strike.
Police to Bar Red Help
In order to carry out the threat of
mass picketing, the guild will have to
get help from the Communist party.
The police will not permit this, accord
ing to statement made to Interna-
tional Labor News Service by Edward
G. Woods, Hearst attorney.
The Hearst papers in Chicago have
had contractual relations with the
regular printing trades unions and
with the union truck drivers and
union maintenance men for many
years.

Guild Claim Disputed
The guild follows the old Commu-
mist practice of circulating doubtful
statements to further it's ends, par
ticulaly in reference to the number
of persons involved. In it's most re-
cent claim it says that lit branch
managers voted for the guild and two
against.
The branch managers themselves
heatedly deny this claim. Evidence
taken before the National Labor Re-
lations Board in Chicago showed that
the American Newspaper Guild has
% members out of 5000 Hearst en-
ployes in Chicago
As counter-move to this latest at
tack of the American Newspaper
Guild, executives of all of the Chicago
printing trades unions held meeting
in the office of Victor A. Olandar, sec
retary-t treasurer of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor.
Contract Observance Pledged
After thorough and full discus
sion, these printing trades union ex-
ecutives unanimously voted to re-
quest Mr.. Olander to notify the Hearst
Chicago managers that the Chicago
printing trades unions will stand by
and live up to their contracts.

record as a Communist agitator has

Ickes Declares That
p. w. A. Is Neutral On
Union Membership

Washington. D. G. (ILNS) - Ad-
ministrator Harold |. Ickes reiterated
here that the Public Works Admins
tration has no regulation requiring
that workers of any of its projects be
either union or non-union.
His statement was prompted by re-
ports in Decatur, H., that P. w. A.
workers were required by the admin
istration to join union.
"Any statement that P. w. A. re
quires or prohibits union membership
of workers on P. w. A. projects is
false" Ickes said.
