WASHINGTON, April II
Federal price administrator Leon
Henderson today froze steel prices
at the levels which prevailed
during the first quarter Of 1871.
saying he feared the industry
would seek to boost prices as a
result of wage increases it had
given workers.
"A steel price increase at this
time might touch of a general
increase in the cost OF living and
start the country off on the road
to price imitation" Henderson
SAID in issuing the order
He acted shortly after the steel
industry had granted wage boosts
of 10 cents an hour TO some 500 600
workers al a total cost OF more
than S90.000000 annually. After
granting the increases. the steel
industry said it was considering
the question Of prices. indicating
that 1t might revise them upward.

Umpires Agree

OCINCIN A TT, June IL
When q Riddle is the answer to
a problem, It's news, and In Gin
cinnati there's q Riddle who APP
pears to have put an end to what
pitching worries William Boyd
McKechnis had.
Elmer Ray Riddle Is a 24-year-
old Georgian who came to the
Reds winter before LIST.
Umpires, with emphasis and
gestures, agree with the batters.
They say the boy has more stuff
than any pitcher, old or young,
they've seen this year.
Riddle came along almost UNI
observed, but stepped to full stat
ure when he rushed to the res
cue Of Bucky Walters on Decora-
ton Day and held the Cardinals
to q single hit in 4 2/3 innings
to emerge the victor in the l3-
inning struggle which broke the
st. Louis winning streak of IL.
The Reds started to rise with
that performance.
Riddle was q Rhinelander all
last season. but broke into only
Is games. His earned run aver
age Of 1.85 was spectacular, but
his innings total indicated lowly
status on Deacon McKechnie's
list of precedence.
After all, there were William
Walters, Paul Derringer, Gene
Thompson and the elderly milk
man, Jim Turner.

Verdict Of Weather

oSoftball players and fans are
just made enough at the weather
to pull out their umbrellas and
raincoats tonight and see to it
that the hree scheduled games
are played off, rain or no rain.
OF course it may be all right
by game time $3.50 p.m.) but
both participants and observers
(and the writer) have come to
expect a little trouble from Jupe
Pluvius latterly and don't like
it at all. Nevertheless they would
probably be wise to invade the
diamonds fully prepared for a
downpour even though the sun
may be shining with all the
promise of a hot summer after
noon.
One Of the reasons fans and
spectators won't tolerate inter
ference tonight Is the Gilbert
Cut Rate-Johnnie's Bar tussle at
st. Mary Stadium. Both teams
are deadlocked at five games
won and one lost at the head of
the Twilight league. The league
lead will be at stake and inter-
est is high.
Another interesting contest is
set to be played at the Pottery
Field. The Eagles will be fight
ing to overhaul Bilrus Cafe in
second place in the Recreation
League. The Merchants, their
opponents, by thwarting their eff
forts, can move into the first di-
vision. A good battle is anticipat-
ed.
A change in schedule in the
junior leagrr will bring together
the league-leading Leander Cafe
nine and the Bowl-O-Drome. The
Dromers are in second place and
can throw the race into q two
way tie If they knock over the
Restauranteurs. The Normington
Laundry-AaCroix & Groesbeck
tussle, originally set for tonight,
has been moved | ok to Friday.

oThe Harry Ollrich Post base

would have been happier about
the whole thing if their curtain
raiser in the Macomb County
American Legion-NYA Junior
Baseball league yesterday at
Romeo had been called off be-
cause of wet grounds-or some
thing.
Lawson Beardslee's young
nine not only lost the opener to
Romeo but was given . good
thick coat o. whitewash to boot.
The score was SO VII, Ed Frost,
Romeo hurler, the chief reason
for the defeat.
Frost gave the locals only five
hits while his mates collected
seven off Lyle Bliss, Mount
Clemens High chool pitcher.
Romeo scored three runs in the
first inning, one in the third, one
in the fourth, and one in the
fifth.
New Haven came back after
its defeat by New Baltimore last
Friday to defeat st. Clair Shores
6-1 on its home grounds. John
Balteria did the chucking for the
Foundrymen, Willette and AL
mony for the Shores nine. Three
errors by the Shores outfit con-
tributed to the loss.
Center Line took a nip-and-
tuck battle from Armada, so,
at Center Line. Fmilnak, of Gen.
ter Line, and Bresett. Of Armada,
each gave up three hits.
Center Line scored all of it,
runs in the fourth inning and
held the edge the remaining
three frames. No errors were
committed.
The only other games in the
league, between New Baltimore
and Roseville at Roseville was
called off because of wet
grounds.

session in one of this .city's
smaller gymnssiums, while the
negro champion remained at the

weigh in tomorrow noon at the
offices of s.e athletic commits
sion.
Both appear geared for a furi-
GUS tussle. Business Is booming

windows, the rush having caused
Mike to smile benignly and pre-
dict a crowd Of 10000 and a gate
of 100000. The odds against
Conn winning remain at Is to 5,
about where they belong.
Broadway hotels are filed
with the fght crowd. and many
more will pour in today and to-
night from Pittsburgh on special
trains and by car. The advance
guard from the challenger's
home town is backing Billy
heavily at the odds, figuring he
has a good chance of dethroning
Joe by a decision in IS rounds.
Most of Conn's backing stems
from sentiment and the fact that
Billy as middleweight and a
light-heavyweight turned in a
brilliant and unbroken string of
victories. The hard truth re-
mains that tomorrow nights
fight brings together a fine little
man, whose ability to stand
against even a top-ranking
heavyweight has yet to be
proved, and a great, big man
who for four years has slaugh-
tered all corners.
The build-up for this bout has
been an amazing thing. Last
summer, when Conn and his fid-
getty little manager, Johnny Ray,
first began talking about fighting
Joe Louis, they were good for
