A crowd of 10000 at Griffith
Stadium this afternoon watched
policemen and firemen play soft
ball, compete in track events, stage
demonstrations and select three
beauty queens at their third annual
benefit outing.
The three young queens, clad in
bright and scanty bathing suits,
stole the show from perspiring virile
athletes dashing about in track
pants when they drove into the
stadium posed in open roadsters.
The winners. who received cups
and gifts from Washington mer-
chants, were Jane Wilmer, 18, and
Elaine Garner, 81, both of La Plata
Md, and Betty Baker, IT, of Hyatts-
vile.
Firemen Stage "Rescues."
Another popular feature was a
demonstration of ladder and rope
climbing by "a red-shirted firemen,
who scaled and descended from a
six-story tower erected in the base
ball stadium at second base. The
"a raised ladders which hooked into
the windows and reached the roof in
minute and Is seconds. The fire
men also shot light lines from a
gun to comrades on the roof, who
then raised the ropes from the
ground.
The firemen slid down the ropes
from the roof of the six-story tower,
carrying other flremen, to demon
strate how they could rescue victims
trapped in burning building.
This feature was followed by a
demonstration of the District Fire
Departments newest automatic lad
der truck, which rolled onto the
field with sirens screeching. The
ladders we're swung to the top of the
tower and firemen demonstrated
their nimbleness by racing up and
down them carrying hoses.

President Roosevelt late today

A white House statement revealing
the order to Secretary Knox said
the stoppage of work at the ship

of vessels essential to the defense
of the United States" 1t is ex-
pected work will be resumed Mon
day.
Membership Clause Is Issue.
The $4,000 employees of the huge
plant went on strike on the early
shift of August in protest against
the company's refusal to accept the
proposal of the National Defense
Mediation Board that a main
tenance of membership" clause be
put into the contract between man.

members of the Industrial Union OF

to retain their membership in good

but would not force non-unlon en-
ployes to join the union.
Throughout the negotiations, L.
H. Korndorff, president of Federal.
insisted his company would not ac-
cept such a clause under any cir
cumstances. In a telegram made
public last week end he asked Sec
retary Knox to take immediate and
complete possession of the plant and
operate it as a Government yard.

An innovation in swimming will
be tried at Mckinley Tech pool,
Second and T streets NE, Wednes-
day morning when the Community
Center and Playground Department
present their first city-wide swim
day for girls between the hours OF
10 m. and noon.
One of the most distinctive fea-

down of the competitive element.
Another is a 25-yard free style swim
for mothers. Seven other events are
scheduled for juniors, l6 years and
under, and seniors, 19 years and
under.
While contestants will come from
Fairgrounds and recreation centers
all over the city they will not COM
pete with home units but will be
assigned to various groups desig-
mated by colors. This is expected
to give the meet friendlier atmos-
phere and de-emphasize severe COM
petition.
A play day program for tots under
s years of age will be staged in con-
junction with the meet with all of
the city's IL wading pools repre-
sented in series of acts not exceed
ing minutes.
The list of events for older girls
includes 25-yard back stroke, breast
stroke and free style contests: 100

Just in the event fishing might be
good along the way.
1t is a fact and a little odd that
his practice usually requires his
presence on the Florida east coast
when the sailfish run IS on or down
along Gulf waters when the tarpon
are hitting plugs just right. He
appears to make his business con-
form to his fishing.
And Mrs. Larry is an angler in
her own right. In the 1899 season
she was credited with seven white
marlin. Last season she fished more

she waited until the last week to
catch her first fish-and then re-

Marlin Coming In.
The storm of last week scattered
the marlin until they were found all
over the ocean. They were coming
up to the bats, but shying off as
soon as they surfaced and those
that showed some slight inclination
to hit often failed to take the bait
afterWard. One fish came up 81
times but went down without strik-

SUMMIT, N. j.. July 26.-The
Irish lad with the flaming hair who
was born eight houses from the
home of Mickey Walker of Toy
Bulldog fame came out of his shell
today and began talking like
challenger for a world boxing title.
Freddie CRed Cochrane of Eliza
beths Kereighhead section sur
priSed his followers with his bland
boastings of what will happen Mon
day night at Rupert Stadium in
Newark when he tangles with
Welterweight Champion Fritzie
Zivic in the first New Jersey cham
piOnShip bout since the halyCOn
days of Dempsey and Carpenter.
The world welterweight title is
going to change hands on July %.
That's not prediction, but a plain
statement of fact proclaimed
Cochrane, who usually lets his
overly eager camp followers do the
talking.
Bullied Into Fight Game.
Winding up his training at
Nine. Bey's camp here, the 25-year-
old Cochrane said. I'll lick Zivic.
I've got the ability and the am
bition"
Freddie the Red was an ardent
hero worshipper when Walker won
the world Welter and middleweight
titles, but it took pugnacious youth
named Fritzie mot Zivic) to launch
Cochrane in the ring.
FritZie. two years older than
Freddie, lived in the same neighbor-
hood. and for several weeks daily
accosted the quiet little redheaded
youngster as he was walking home
from St. Mary's Parochial School
and challenged him to put up your
fists and get your block knocked
off"
Finally, Cochrane says, "one day
7 got my Irish up and decided the
place to settle the issue was an
amateur tournament the following
week.
Cochrane, of course, licked Fritzie,
became a successful amateur, then
a leading Garden State professional.
Beaten Only Once by KayO.
He took on Pedro Montanez, then
a leading lightweight challenger,
getting $3.50 for his efforts and the
only knockout defeat of his career
of 80 bouts.
There weren't too many jobs in
those days, and soon Freddie was
making a living with his fists.

Big Fish Coming In at Ocean City

the Jack Spot on wednesday, but
only four were boated. With the
light winds and calm seas the fish
probably will stay where they now
are, which is good, for it shortens
the runoff considerably.
More marlin were caught last week
than in all of the season before. The
largest fish of the season, weighing
10 pounds, was boated by Capt.
Irv Mumford. There is every in
dication the big fish are staying on
and others are coming in every day.
Boats Reserved Far Ahead.
Reservations for marlin boats on
week ends can't be had until mid
August. There are few open even
then. We have noted several times
that because of the smaller fleet this
year boats are hard to get. We are
calling attention to 1t again.
Reservations for the late August
fishing should be made now.
Tommy Aitken, dean of salt
water angling writer's, who died
recently at Miami Beach, studied
and loved the Gulf Stream beyond
any one we ever have known. He

In death, his ashes will be given
to its care at a time to be selected

The first tuna of the Nova Scotia
season was caught on July 81 by
