TOUGH LABOR NUT

Defense Commissioner Sidney Hillman has had some tough nuts to crack to solve the labor prob lens of the vast national defense program, but the toughest was an unnoticed threatened strike at the new s27.00O0o0 naval air station at Corpus Christie, Tex
 This is a vital link in the new chain of defenses and it's comple- tion as soon as possible is of ut most importance. More than 75o0 workers were involved
 With the able assistance of As- sistant Labor Secretary Dan Tracy, Hillman settled the dispute, but they had to exert heculean efforts to do it. Not only the workers, but the Navy Department, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, cot ton growers, and the contractor all had to be pacified.
 The workers threatened to walk out when refused time-and- half pay for overtime. Meanwhile the Chamber of Commerce and cotton ralsers were uttering loud squawks because the Government had fixed 40 cents an hour as the scale for unskilled labor. They contended that this upset the lower local wage level and made it impossible for them to get workers.
 Then the Navy Department which had approved the 40-ccnt scale,

Rochester, Jersey City Offer
Pitching vs.. Hitting Duel

By the Associated Press.
The old argument as to whether
hitting or pitching is more i'm
portant to ball club may be settled
to certain extent this season in
the International Leagues race be-
tween the Rochester Red Wings and
Jersey City Giants.
While neither team is totally de-
void of strength in any department,
it is obviously stickwork that is
keeping the Red Wings on top and
mound work that keeps the Little
Giants close behind.
The Red Wings have seen their
starting pitchers go the route in
fewer than half their games and
then, often as not, mainly because
they received so much support at
the plate that weak performances
could get by.
The Jerseymound corps has h..
about equal success with a lot less

Game Hard Way
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The Brooklyn Dodgers, who al
ready had everything else, now have
Joe Medwick. And if they don't
have the National League pennant
come October it will be because
there's no water in the Gowanus
Canal or money in the Brooklyn
Trust Co.
The Flatbushers are in first place,
and it's no f1uke. They have won
9 of their last II games and
never have been worse than second
since the day the season opened.
No great imagination is needed to
figure where club that strong will

outstanding outfielder. who never
has hit less than 800 in his life,
and pitcher who won % games
just last season.
Curt Davis, whom the Dodgers
obtained yesterday from st. Louis
along with Medwick for four play
ers and cash, may prove of as great
value as Medwick. The Dodgers
were on the verge of a pitching
shortage and last night at Pitts
burgh designated Lefty Vito Tamu-
lis as front-rank starter.
Wyatt Stops Pirates.
He gave up four hits and hit one
batter for three Pittsburgh runs
without even getting Pirate out
in the first inning Then Whitlow
Wyatt took charge and allowed only
five hits for the remainder of the
game, and the Dodgers ultimately
triumphed, 5-4.
This victory was enough to keep
Brooklyn out in front of the Gin
cinnati Reds, who edged out the
Philadelphia Phillies, 81, in an
other night game. Paul Derringer
gave up eight hits to the five Gin
cinnati collected, but he was careful
in the pinches and would have had
shutout except for an error.
The triumphs by the Dodgers and
Reds set snowy stage for the four
game series these two teams will
open in Brooklyn tomorrow. The
spectacle may even surpass the SIM
liar American League pageant just
completed at Boston, where the Red
Sox decided for the time being the
mastery of the Junior circuit.
Red Sox Rout Milnar.
After routing Bob Feller on Tues
day, the Red Seekers yesterday
chased Southpaw Al Milnar, the
leagues leading pitcher. with a six
run eighth inning that brought VIC
tory 9-5. The sweep of the two
game series put Boston two full
games ahead of the Indians and a
similar distance in front of the Sec
ond-place Detroit Tigers, who were
beaten by the New York Yankees,
rs.
Like the Red Sox, the Yankees
had to come from behind to win, but
proved themselves capable when
Charley Keller blasted three-run
homer IN the seventh inning. The
Tigers had belted Marvin Breuer
for five hits and four runs in the
first two innings, but ran afoul of
the relief hurting of Bump Hadley,
who gave only two hits in the last
seven frames.
The Philadelphia Athletics took a
strange test from the Chicago White
Sox, 80. The AS were held to three
hits by Thornton Lee, but two of
these were home runs by Bob john
son and Sam Chapman. Johnson's S
clout was his 11th of the year and
came with one on.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-The Brook
lyn Dodgers, who exchanged their
daffy ways for first place, eyed the
National League pennant more
manifestly today with the acquisi-
ton of Slugger Joe Medwick and
Pitcher Curt Davis of the Cardinals.
The 11th-hour deal. which brought
four Dodger players to the Red
Birds, was "the biggest money trans
action ever in the National League"
Brooklyn President Larry MacPhail
said However, the exact sum is the
clubs secret.
The known top check was the
s185 900 which the Chicago Cubs
paid the Cardinals for Dizzy Dean
in 1888.
MacPhail, who flew East last night
after an all-day conference consum-
mating the deal, chuckled over his
new players, whose sale was sur
prising only in that it included Davis.
The Dodgers were known to have
been dickering for Medwick, a close
friend of Brooklyn Manager Leo
Durocher. The latter said in Pitts
burgh he was "elated" to get Joe

Medwick, an outfelder, made his
reputation with bat He has aver
aged better than 300 every year,
since he joined the Cards in 1882.
His top was .374 in 1897 when he won
the league batting championship
and was voted the most valuable
player.
The next season, Medwick, who
was born in Carteret, N. j., drew a
$4,000 salary. but his batting aver
age fell to 1922. In 1899, he signed
for $4,000 after a lengthy holdout,
which was repeated this spring when
Joe tried in vain for a raise. He
hit 1882 last year.
However, the bat baron's hits have
decreased with the seventh-place
Cardinals fortunes this season and
his present average is .304. During
his current slump he has been booed
by home fans.

from Greenfield, Mo, has slipped.
