Wonen's
work IS
valuable
BY Mary Hartman

Everyone knows that womer
are more energetic than men, ane
that many women perform task
meant for men, and yet fail tx
ever receive value for their eff.
cient energy.
What high tribunal can
place the value of energy?
Especially the energy of
women.
Women do tedious work better
and faster than men, thus
more profits at cheaper labor.
Never before has the Union
meant so much to us. They
have secured us vacations
with pay, time and a half for
over 8 hours, and all the ben
efits thru Grievance Pro-
cedure. Now on top Of all that
comes our Insurance Plan.
, Sick Benefits to all members
in good standing after being
sick over a two week
period. A benefit of SIS a week
not to exceed 1O-weeks.
Get in touch with your Stewart

Committeeman who will explair
any question you may have t.
ask.

spite the fatigued look that you

Evening star., 1941-07-07
Gordon Is Big Snowman,
Doerr 'Stroiqht' PIoyer

Gordon and DOerr in action have
contrasting styles which make for
the greater glorifiCation of Gordon.
Gordon is an acrobat, a spectacular
playmaker. Doerr is easy. quiet
and Self-effaCing. like Gehringer.
Thinking back, you'll recall that
Gehringer was the best second
baseman in his league for several
years before any one noticed it.
Given the same difficult play,
Gordon sometimes will make a
throw to first base when Doerr does
not This difference works to the
advantage of the man who throws,
from the customers point of view,
for there Is something a little anti
climactic about the infeld play
which merely stops the ball and in
wolves no further play at first But
when Gordon throws, and Doerr
does not, Gordon never gets his
man. He IS using shoWmanShip,
perhaps unconsciously, and risking
q costly error Doerr has no gift
for showmanship. He just does the
right thing, be it ever so undra-
matte. Gehringer was the same
way.
Both Gordon and Doerr are
power hitters, of about the same
consistency. They get home runs,
and they drive runs in. They are
fine ballplayers. They belong in the
All-Star game.
And | mean both of them.

Champion S VoNeying
And Stamina Mark
Decisive Match
Spring Lake Tourney
To Show How Barney
Stacks Up Nationally
Ry BILL LISMER, Jr.

Barney Welsh's straight-set rout
of Don Leavens in the final Of The
Star Tennis Tournament two weeks
ago was no f1uke, folks. Or didn't
YOU notice what the Rockville Ram
bier did to the bespectacled new
conner yesterday in gaining his third
Middle Atlantic championship in
four years?
As in their first money" meeting,
Welsh prevailed in straight sets, but
Yesterday he allowed Leavens even
less games than he did fortnight
back. The scores were "a. 81,
81. as against IS. 81. 6-3 in
the City of Washington finals. After
the first set, poor Don never had a
chance.
To most of the several hundred
spectators around Columbia Coun-
try Clubs upper court where the
match was played, the most re-
vealing aspect was that of Welsh
volleying AS he never did before
Barney never has been greatly in
ferior in any. department of the
game, but never have his volleys
been as deadly as they are now.
Retains Stamina of Youth.
At 80 Welsh isn't as young as
some of the current nationally
ranking stars. but We daresay he still
could make the first 10 If he cam
paigned seriously the rest of the
summer. Just how he stacks up
against some of the country's best
may be shown this week In the
Spring Lake IN. j. tournament
starting today.
One of the notable things about
Barney is that he seems to have the
physical stamina of one years his
Junior. The way he continues to
drive his spindly frame around the
court is a revelation and a tribute
to the physical condition in which
he keeps himself To conserve his
energy. he doesn't chase foolishly
after drives he knows he hasn't a
chance of reaching, but when its
$3.50 that he can return a shot,
Baryey's usually on the spot.
NOlleys Finally Decide II.
Like he did two weeks ago. Welsh
relied on the drop-shot yesterday to
keep Leavens running. but in the
final analysis. the winners vOllev
placement accounted for a good
share of his points. AS in their first
meeting. Leavens carried him to
deuce scores in the first set, but
with the count at 4-all. Welsh
cracked his opponents service and
won on his own for first blood
Leavens could win only two games
in the remainder Of the match
The victory gave Welsh his third
leg on the challenge trophy and he
now has retired every major tennis
trophy at stake in this vicinity for
the last 10 years.
Because he. Lynch and johnson
are starting at Spring Lake today
and Leavens and Buddy Adair will
go to tournament at Sky Top, Pa,
later in the week. the conclusion of
the doubles competition in which all
four are involved has been post
poned Indefinitely. Likely it will be
resumed next week with Welsh and
Lynch taking on Adair and Eddie
Miller in one of the semiflnals and
Leavens and johnson playing
Charley Claiming and Dick Muir
ply in the other.
