Mr.. Lewis position on Mr.. Hill
man does not appear to be far re-
moved from Mr.. Murray's, who also
has been displeased with Hillman
formulas for giving labor an active
voice in defense production plan
ming.
Thus the next c. I. o. conven-
ton stacks up as an all-out, free
for-all debate on the part labor has
played, or has not played in the de-
tense program. And John L. will
be there with delegates voice.

Hillman crowds greatest fear is that
Mr.. Lewis will supplant Mr.. Murray
The Lewis people profess no de-
sire to try to stampede the conven-
ton for the coal miners boss, and
they tell you privately that Mr..
Lewis is so much opposed to the
continuing gossip about his alleged
split with Mr.. Murray that he won't
accept an invitation to make q
public speech as long as Mr.. Murray
is i'll for fear anything he says might
be construed as criticism of Mr..
Murray.
Two of the questions most fire.
quently asked about C. I. o. are:

On the surface. at least, If there
is a break between Mr.. Lewis and

the court for 16 years. When the
court convenes in October for it's
next season, Justice Stone and
Justice Owen D. Roberts will be
the only members not appointed
by President Roosevelt.
The Presidents new appointees,
who will sit on the court for the

January, has been a leading adj

one of the younger group of New

mental in helping to formulate its

Golfer SIayton Near
Realization Of Goal
In Southern Event
Ties With Everett at II
At Halfway Stage in
Qualifying Rounds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, June 18-
Three years of golfing promise pyra-
mided today on the chunky shoul-
ders of Jack Slayton, hard-hitting
Columbus, Ga, stylist, in the 194l
Southern amateur tournament.
Shooting for place in the cham
pionship flight, Slayton overcame
wind and a sun-baked course yes
terday to post one-over-par 70 and
tie Alvin Everett of Rome, Ga, ma
tional southpaw champion, for the
lead in the first days qualifying
Iounds. All contenders play another
Is holes today.
The tournament tough South
Georgian. with a whip stroke like a
mule skinner, has advanced slowly.
Now, scarcely old enough to vote, he
seems likely to bid for his first
Southern championship.
Whether Slayton. Everett or some
OF the pro-tournament favorites
reach the final next Saturday will be
determined by match play starting
tomorrow.
Seven contenders were punched
last night at 70, a stroke behind the
leaders. Four more had IA, three
posted 75S and five came home with
rs.
Up in the van with TBS were Dali
las Weaver, CedartoWn, Ga; Frank
Sitz. jr., Gadsden, Ala: Crawford
RainWater. Pensacola. Fla: Beverly
Nabers, Baton Rouge, La: Sonny
Ellis, Columbus, Ga. schoolboy; Carl
Dingler, jr.. Atlanta, and Walter
Cisco Louisville. Ky.
All experienced difficulty with the
sprawling, drought-parched 5000
yard west course of the Birming-
ham Country Club. and none of the
135 entries was able to crack or
equal par II.

Sam Perry, twice winner of the
Southern championship, was

young Ashby Taylor, Augusta, Ga,

Novikoff, Major Bust,
Is Due for Another
Siege in Minors
Given Full Opportunity
By Cubs, He Has Botted
Only .240 in 46 Tits
BY the Associated Press.

BY lne ASSOCldIeu FIcSS.
CHICAGO, June ia minor
league star, a major league bust
this, in brief, is the case history to
date of Lou Novikoff, the sad
Russian.
The word has gone around that
the 25-year-old terror of the bushes
is headed for another trip to the
minors.
Some of baseball's keenest judges
of talent denied in April that Novi-
koff's major assets consisted solely
of playing the harmonica and sing
ing "Abie's Irish Rose" They in
sisted he would murder National
League pitching just as he had bat
tered fences in four minor leagues.
But they were wrong. Novikoff
has been given every opportunity
to make the grade by Manager
Jimmy Wilson of the Cubs, but he
has been a pitchers delight ever
since his debut.
Lou has played in As of the Cubs
Sc games so far, collected 81 hits in
154 times at bat and scored IA runs
He has batted in 20 runs, and hit
five doubles, one triple and four
home runs. Hit batting average is
an anemic .240.
Wilson himself said three weeks
ago that the rookie would have to
bat 80 points better than this to
make the grade. In other words, to
offset his poor defensive work, un-
dependable arm and slowness afoot
he would have to be real menace
at the plate.
