WILLIE PEP IN TIP. TOP SHAPE FOR FRIDAYS GO

ton revealed him to be sharp as a tack.
 He looked so good" Manager Viscusi commented "that I'm afraid things are going too smoothly. 1T he fights Friday night like he has trained the past two days, I feel sorry for Costantino.'
 Leamus commented after the workout that he just cant figure out how Pep can throw SO many well timed left hooks.
 Pep winds up his training pro- gram at the Charter Oak gym. To- morrow is his ''day off" and Friday is the fight. Pep will probably be right around the l27-pound figure that Gore likes to have him at weighing in time.
 Promoter George Mulligan con- tinues to hope for a gate in excess of $50.O00. which would make it the biggest fight gate hereabouts in more than a decade, but Hartford ticket men are not as sure that the gate will go that high.

Hartford, Aug. 2-Iereafter when Willie Pep's handlers want to get him in tip-top shape they should rut a load on his mind and then remove it. Willies case is something like the mans who every once in a while whacked himself on the head with a hammer because it felt so good when he stopped.
 4 week ago today. Pep was in such a blue funk that his manager wise- ly called off a fight with Charles LuluD Costantino. stylish New York Italian. only two days before it was scheduled to be fought at Water- bury Municipal Stadium.
 With the fight postponed a week. Pep took two days off, spent one digging crabs at the shore. Return- ing to Hartford last Saturday. Pep went to work in earnest. Two days ago those who watched him reported that he never looked better.

 New York. Aug. 2-tUP)-Ray Corner Stone" Johnson, sports editor of the Tennesscan at Mash vile. Tenn. tried to order his first pair of shoes as he prepared to cover the All-America baseball game at the Polo Grounds. Aug. '.
 Johnson. the bare-footed boy Of Nashville. was accused Of being a snboteur because DD He was head man in Americas soft ball compei- ton. and t2D He arranged to find the best all-round hardball player in his section who could make the All America" team to compete at New York.
 Johnson, while feeling out his first pair of shoes, said. Tine mag azine Esquire is putting on this All-America baseball game al the Polo Grounds. Aug. '. came north because I thought Esquire's game was to be between teams of Vargas giiis. Perhaps have been mis- led"
 It is true that magazine Esquire is staging this East-West game be- tween the All-America players Of the East and West. In selecting these All America performers Esquire has sought the advice Of the 28 newspapers involved. They are "A key newspapers west of the Mississippi and i4 key sheets east of the father Of waters. Each of the 28 papers has named one young performer, regardless of position played.
 Cornerstone Johnson of Nashville, Tenn. comes up with Athur Per- due. a catcher. for example. He is catcher on the East squad. A. though he Is a backstop. Perdue is the best ball playCr-under IT years -ia the Nashville area. Just how Pesdue was selected was up @to Jonnsons paper-the Tennessean. We forget whether the Tennessean ran a vote -per-fan ballot or whether 1t staged an amateur game at which tle fans voted for the best per- foilneI.
 Did Esquire's baseball promotion overlap other h0rahide programs as conducted by the American Legion, Police Athletic leagues, and various communities? Brayen Dyer of the Los Angeles Times, one of the most respected sports writers in America, explained that there is no oyer-lapping, He said Esquire's All Ameriea-Yith it's trip to New York and its dream game for the youngsters seleeted-merely provide an inspiration for the programs al- ready in effect, Chester Nelson sports editor of the Rocky Noun tain News, Denver, Coo, said, "Its an ingpratiOp that no JouGg base ball player can shrus of Ia trip to the Polo Grounds in New York playing under Manager Mel Ott lthe western pilot with every major league scout watching your efforts,
 Meanwhile Cornerstone" John son, president Of the Amateur Soft ball Association of Ameiea, says, If l can git me pair of shoes, I'll wear em, even If Esquire is goiD in for hardball instead of Vargas gals"

ALL-STAR TEAM MAY BE CHOSEN
 FOR WATERBURY

A six o'clock thunder shower washed out all scheduled games In the I. R. A. Girls eostball league last Thursday night. No complaint against the weather man Is being registered however. since they were the first games rained out in eleven weeks of play.
 fn the only league activity last week, Lena padula pitched the Oak- vile Pin to . no.hit. no-run vic. tory over a luckless U. s. Rubber team. The oakvllle lassies have made a good showing for their first year in the league. When another season rolls around they will be real contentors for the top spot honors
 One of the outstanding features ln the league this year has been the pitching. Last year Mary Coffin of Scovill was the only pitcher of out. standing ability. This year there are several who will deserve consider. atlon in that position when it comes to selecting the all star team. Lena Padula is the only one to turn ii a Ib hit. no run performance but some others have missed the hon ored niche by only a one hit mar. gin. Eunice Bradley of U. s. Time. Marge Connors of Waterbury Man. ufacturing, Flo Nicola of Waterbury Tool and Millle Buglione Of Ben rus all have pitched one.hit games. Undefeated Benrus has only to get by lowly Waterbury Companies in next weeks game to clinch the league championship. Runner-ups In last years race. their determina- tion to climb to the top spot has brought them through many tight situations this year. Mary Andrews, Jo Koslowsliy and Tess Ficeto con. tinue to hit the ball hard for the leaders.
 The S. E. R. A. combine lost to the Waterbury Manufacturing last night in a postponed game 9 to ! at Waterville Park, second place. at least for the time being. U. s. Time is yet to be heard from and re. mains very much in the running for that spot also. Russ Jones called balls and strikes last night.
 Margaret Connor's four-hit pitch Ing turned back to bid of Scovill last night and Waterbury Mfg. won postponed Girls Industrial Soft ball league game. 9-7. Sis Mastrian- ma and Tessie Jacobs hit doubles for the winners. Score by innings; Waterbury Mfg. .. OH O25-s ' 3 Scovill ,..,...,,. iO3 2Ol-7 3
 N. Connors and vendrella; os- trowski and Coffin. Umpire: Ar senault.
 A possibility exists at present that the I. R. A. will enter the all-star team, selections to be announced within the next two weeks. in the State Championship tournament tor girls to be played at Longbroos Park, stratford. starting Sunday August 18th.
 The schedule for tomorrow night games starting at 6:iS, follows:
 Hopeyille-Chase once vs U. O. Rubber Company-Rainytlle.

Background Of the steelwork-
er's argument for breaking the
Little Steel formula, the grant
ing OF II cents an hour wage
increase and guaranteed an
nual wage, is briefly this:
When the War Labor Board
handed down the Little Steel
formula in July 1912 after con-
Quoting extensive hearings from
September l94l to February
1912, the United Steelworkers
union made representations to
WLB against the formula on the
grounds that it would grant
greater increases to higher paid
workers than to lower paid
workers and would provide
greater distortions and inequi-
ties in the national wage pic
ture.
When the Sterilization Law
was passed and the President is
sued his Executive Order $3.50
