that created totally new jobs. Others doomed
because they were able to knock the spots off
older industries in the rough and tumble of
competition.
These growing fields naturally offer the job
hunter his brightest hopes. Young people. par
iicularly, hare the best chance Of finding work
in EXPANDING industries The declining fields
are generally laying off even experienced
people, 50 newcomers usually have much less
chance in these.
You'll notice that we qualified that last
statement with the words generally and
usually" There are excellent reasons for
this caution Sometimes rising industry gets
too much publicity. Job seekers from all
parts of the country then come stormlng IN
masses to its gates, like prospectors to gold
field. As a result, it may actually be harder
to get work in rapidly rising field than in
some declining ones. At any given time, job
opportunities in any occupation depend upon
the relationship between the available sup
ply of workers and the demand for them.
DIEsEL engineering, commercial airline
plotting and air conditioning are rising fields
that have become overcrowded because too
many people have been attracted to them.
At the opposite extreme, blacksmiths are
having little trouble finding jobs these days
Because everyone knows that the rise of the
automobile sent blacksmlthing into de-
cline, practically no one has trained for the
work in recent years. So, despite the fact
that the total number of jobs for blacksmiths
has dropped tremendously, the supply has
decreased even faster than the demand. A
number of employment agencies have re-
ported recently that they could place good
backsmiths easily
There is one other important point to re-
member about industrial employment. Only
about one worker in five throughout the
country holds an industrial job! Althoughs
many people think that job opportunities de-
pend largely on the number of workers re-.
uuired by our nations factories and mills,
there are other large occupational fields that
offer better employment opportunities to-
day. These will be analyzed in coming weeks.
As a matter of fact. industrial employment
as whole had almost stopped growing even
before $780, Then it crashed with the stock
market, rallied strongly after 1882, teetered
down in '38, tottered up in 39. Today, the
number of people employed in manufactur-
ing is actually larger than it was decade
ago, although we must remember that the
average number of hours worked declined
considerably during that time. Except in the
building materials industries, the number of
wage earners increased almost as fast, pro-
portionaly, as our population, which is an i'm
pressive demonstration of industry's funda-
mental soundness when given half chance.
So much for our quick surrey Of the factory

which industries offer the best and most

We all know that the depression hit certain
industries and their workers much harder than
others. Some lucky fields came through the
threadbare thirties with hardly ripple IN
their employment level. Others, caught IN the
undertow of social or mechanical changes,
never got their heads above water, despite
improving conditions few spectacular
fields bucked the general trends and sailed
through the blackest years with steadily
rising employment.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

Schoolboy Rowe. who kept the De-
troit Tigers on top of the American
League in two glorious pennant
years when he had one of the best
arms in baseball, still is holding
them up there.
For while this spring no one
knew whether the big fellows right
arm was we'll again. He opened the
season with a five-hit triumph over
Cleveland, but his next venture saw
him belted of the mound in the
second inning.
Today his record of nine victories
and two defeats is ample testimony
that the schoolboy is doing all right.
The only pitcher in the American
League with better mark is Team
mate Bucky Newsom, who has won
13 and lost 2.
1t has been in the critical period
since Newsom broke his thumb July
II that Rowe has proved his greatest
value to the Tigers, because, taking
his regular turn, he has won three
consecutive starts.
Rowe Also Power at Plate.
He pitched seven-hit ball against
the New York Yankees yesterday
and personally batted in three runs
with triple and double as the
Tigers clawed the world cham
pions. 11-2.
This was enough to give the Tigers
exclusive possession, again, of first
place in the Junior circuit and also
dropped the Yankees out of the
first division by a fraction of a per-
centage point.
The Boston Red Sox took care Of
clipping Cleveland out of the leader
ship claim with So victory and
the Chicago White Sox nosed out
the philadelphia Athletics, 5-4, in II
innings to get its first taste of the
rarifled upper division air this year.
Jimmy Foxx, as usual, was the
bellwether for Boston, hitting his
22d homer of the season with one
on in the sixth to put the Red Sox
in front, where they were able to
stay on the 7-hit pitching of Fritz
Ostermueller.
Winning Run Forced In. :, a..
Chiefly because Sam Chapman
mt 2-r,m homer in the nth, the
AS kept in fnont of Chicago rieht
up until the ninth inning. but the
White Sox pestered Nelson Potter
for one run here and another run
there until he became so annoyed
in the 11th inning that he walked
three men, forcing in the winning
counter without the benefit of either
a hit or an error.
This gave Chicago a .5l64 per-
centage while the Yankees had .5161.
Lefty Ed Smith of the White Sox
was struck in the groin by a batted
ball, but was not believed hurt
seriously.
The National League action was
limited to one double header in
which the Brooklyn Dodgers cleaned
up on the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3
and 81. The first game was all
Whitlow Wyatt's as he coasted along
on 7-hit flinging.
The second was notable for seven
errors that kept the score see-sawing
until Harry Lavagetto banged the
deciding run around with a double
in the seventh inning. Chiefly be-
cause Relief Pitcher Hugh Casey
allowed no hits in the last four
innings, the Pirates were held to six
safeties, although Brooklyn used
four hurlers.

Odd Net Cures
Put Kovacs in
Meadow Semi
Bore!y Winner Over
ToIey, Fronk Takes
On Riggs Today
BY the Associated Press.

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. O.
Tennis doctor Frank kovacs says
that If you have trouble with your
forehand, the best thing to do is
bite your racket and that will teach
the darned thing to behave.
If your backhand won't work right,
toss your racket as far as you can
and then stroll leisurely over to pick
it up. DR.. Kovacs doesn't know why
this cure works, but he is satisfied
that it does.
The young player from Oakland,
Calf, has tried all these stunts and
q good many others during the
course Of this summers tournament
play. Perhaps he wouldn't prescribe
them for any one else, but in his case
they seem to relieve the tension of
a hard match or to do something
which enables him to settle down
and play his best.
Other Kovacs Remedies.
Other cures which Kovacs has
been known to use:
For trouble with your footwork,
stop the match, call for scissors and
cut your slacks down to shorts; if
you're already wearing shorts, take
your socks off, bite the ball, punch
a linesman in the nose, visit an ad-
joining court and watch the match
there, do anything-but, for Pete's
sake, be funny.
Kovacs couldn't try all these
remedies for erratic play yesterday,
but his outbursts entertained the
gallery more than once in the course
of his tough match with George
Toley of Los Angeles in the quarter
final round of the Meadow Club in
vitation tournament. Six times in
the second set Tolev reached match
point. but Kovacs finally won, 46,
14-12, 6-1.
Perhaps it was Franks antics that
turned the trick, for Toley frightened
and lost his advantage on three oc-
casions and Kovacs saved the other
three by brilliant play that made
up for previous poor showings.
