labor, it is very unfair for the Herald to make such statement as we have always managed to either turkish union men or have allowed our employers to use any men they could get whether they he union or not.
 Voices Sympathy
 the feeling which the Herald al- I hope . at this will alleviate leges is prevalent in our industry and against our union and that they will know that we have not set ourselves up as selfish group of craftsmen who are trying to ex- clude outsiders from our union, but who would be pleased to take in a thou5rLd more members if we could furnish them all with a 48-hour worx week. I hope that this will explain things satisfac- torily for those unfortunates who are seeking work and for whom we hold notl-ing but the utmost sympathy for that our action was taken as uch in their interests as our own.

Flock of Booster Pin Teams
Now Are in Prospect for
National Tourney Here

Prospects for Washington having
flock of teams rolling in the
booster division of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress Tourna-

to Secretary George L. Isemann.
Making his rounds last night, 1se-
mann was encouraged at the Lucky

the A. g. P. League. handed in a
booster team application, and Perry
Nutwell Of the Kilowatt League and
Sally Miller of the What's In a
Name loop assured him OF a team
| for that class.
Abbott named Jim Holland, Gene
Moreland, Bill Dondera, Mike Multi
can and himself as the A. g. P.
lineup.
Tad Howard, proprietor of Rem
devious, assured Isemann of several
teams from the Knights of Colum-
bus League and looked for the Pat
ent Office and intercollegiate loops
to have representation.
M. A. jenkins sparkled in the Pro-
curement League when his season

Mamakos Climbs Rinq
Ladder by Defeat
Of Pimpine||a
Garcia, No. ! Challenging
WeIter, Now Is Sought
As Foe Of D. c. Boy
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

The one fighter in whom local
ringworms have displayed more
than Pickering interest, Steve
Mamakos, today visioned his Gold
en- Greek monicker as more than
nickname, for Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn has launched pretentious
plans which may yield considerable
folding green to the rugged, wavy-
haired lad.
Enthused over Steve's perform
ance last night at Turner's Arena,
where the sturdy Mamakos snatched
his thirteenth successive victory by
outpointing cagey Vincent Pim-
pinella of New York, Ahearn has
opened negotiations to import Cef-
erlno Garcia as his foe for the first
outdoor show of the season May /.
Garcia Is Tough Opponent.
Garcia, ranked No. / challenger
among world welterweights by the
National Boxing Association, has
been among the elite OF his division
for several seasons. The hard-hit-
ting Filipino nearly relieved Bar
ney Ross of his 147-pound crown
in 1887 and last year earned crack
at Henry Armstrong. Ross successor.
Ahearn is convinced Mamakos
is ready for top-flight campaign
ing, although Steve hardly has
picked his spots since he deserted
amateur ranks here. The inexhaust-
lble Greek, whose chin was FASH
ioned in a steel mill, still is she'd
ding Sunday socks without so much
as batting an eye: and his amazing
ability to absorb punches and keep
coming has captivated local fans.
Steve still has no semblance of
a defense and at times his offense
is extremely erratic, but until that
diversified ticker, storehouse of energy
and ability to soak up crushing
blows begin to reveal signs of wear,
Mamakos is going to be worth
watching. Fistiana currently can
produce no fighter who is more
willing to mingle in toe-to-toe ex-
changes than Steve.
Steve Has the Power.
In a sense, Steve was outsmarted
by Pimpinella, but it was like try
ing to outsmart steamroller
Pimpy weaved and bobbed beauti-
fully, but Mamakos dealt him
enough punishment to capture 7 of
the 10 rounds and win easily.
A good batch of preliminaries
saw frankie Wills trim Bob Will
son, Ben Cohen whip Bobby Rube
Augie Kroll defeat Joe Sole. Billy
Banks trounce Poppy Brown and
Joe Harrington score over Mickey
Hines, all by decision.

Kayak i Is Doubtful
Starter in $4,000
Race Saturday
San Juun Field Will Be
Classy Even If Sonto
Anitu Victor Is Out
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, March 7.-Kayak
II is a doubtful starter in Santa
Anita's last big race of the season
Saturday, the $4,000 San Juan
Capistrano Handicap at mile and
ne-half.
Tom Smith, trainer of the Argen-
tine-bred winner of racing's juiciest
plum, the 100000 Santa Anita
Handicap, said that although Kayak
was one of IS horses nominated for
Saturdays race he felt it was asking
too much of the colt to race him so
soon again.
If Kayak doesn't go postward.
Owner Charles S. Howard will be
without an entry in the race, for
Sorteado, another of his South
American horses, was not nominated
for the San Juan, and is to be rested
and freshened for the Hollywood
season, opening next June.
Cravat, Whichcee in List.
Eight of the 16 horses that started
in the Santa Anita Handicap are
still in the lineup for the San
Juan. Townsend B. Martins Cravat,
second choice in last Saturdays bet
ting to Kayak: Whichcee, Specify,
Today, Gosum, War Minstrel,
Melodist and Jacola comprise the
list.
Martin, who regarded Cravats
chances very highly last Saturday
said today he doubted if any horse
in the country could spot Kayak
! 10 pounds and beat him. Cravat
carried 120 to the Argentine's 10.
While Specify faded fast in the
stretch in the big race, Owner Bert
Baroni believes he will go a mile
and one-half with different han
ding. Charley Corbett held Specify
in restraint last week in attempting
to keep him off the pace. He was
acting under Baroni's orders. This
Saturday Specify will go out to set
the pace, as is his custom, and
Baroni believes the result will be
different.
Starting Its Final Week.
The Santa Anita season begins
its final week today, and tomorrow
there will be a $4,000 stakes for
California -breds, the Santa Catalina
Handicap. There are 20 prospective
starters in this event, including
Lloyd Pan. last years winner.
AS the season draws to a close
Johnny Longden, the national
champion of the jockeys, is show
ing the way with Al winners out
of 269 mounts ridden. There is
a triple tie for second among john
ny Adams. Nick Wall and Basil
James, each with 81 winners.
James has had 209 mounts, Wall
210 and Adams 1856.
