Threat Of Phone Strike
Here Is Averted as
Illinois WaIkout Ends
Settlement Removes
Any Sympathy Action;
Chicago Coils Restored

The threat of a telephone
strike in Washington was re-
moved last night when w. G..
Murray, representative of the
United States Cancellation Serv-
ice, announced in Chicago that
a siX-day walkout Of the Illinois
Telephone Traffic Union had
ended.
Washington telephone workers
had been considering a sympathetic
strike. However, after Mr.. Murray's
announcement. Mrs. Mary E. Gan
non, president of the Washington
Telephone Traffic Union, said the
Illinois settlement removed all i'm
mediate possibility of walkout
here.
Service to Chicago Restored.
The settlement means that tele-
phone service between here and the
Chicago area, which had been
blocked of since last Wednesday,
is being restored. It also ended the
threat of strike among telephone
company employees in Detroit.

volved some 8.700 employees of the
Illinois Telephone Traffic Union,
ended at 7:10 pm, Washington
time. Phone service to downstate
Illinois, Lake and Porter Counties
in Indiana and affected parts of
Chicago was Immediately restored.
Cessation of the strike was based
on tentative agreement worked out
at a conciliation meeting according

workers belonging to the parent
union, the National Federation of

tance by both the union and the

American League
By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer)

Should the Washington Senators fail to win the American League pennant by a single game, the name of George (Bingo) Binks, may go down in basebaH's history books alongside such celebrated ones as Fred Merkle, Fred Snodgras S, Heinie Zimmerman, Mickey Owen and others whose "boners" cost their respective clubs either n pennant or a world series.
 It was Outfielder Binks' failure to equip himself with sun glasses that cost the Mats chance for clean sweep of yesterdays doubleheader with the Athletics and virtual tie for first place with Detroit S league-leading Tigers, who were beaten by the St. Louis Browns.
 The oversight enabled Phila- delphia to win the opener, 4-3, in 12 innings, the identical score by which the Senators copped the nightcap which was limited to eight innings by darkness.
 The split left the Senators one full game behind the Bengals, but three l en g t hs back in the losing column. The Senators can't do any thing about it in their own behalf, as their regular season ended Sun day. It left Washington in spot where Detroit now needs to win only two of it's four remaining con- tests to cop the flag
 The Tigers open two-game stand against Cleveland Thursday and then jump to St. Louis for a pair on Saturday and Sunday
 The Tigers Sunday were tanned by Nelson Potter, veteran St. Louis righthander, who handcuffed them with two safeties in registering a so shutout for his eighth straight victory and his fifteenth of the season.
 The National League flag chase remained unchanged as both Chi cago and St. Louis won The Cubs protected their game and a half advantage by trimming the Pitts burgh Pirates in the opener of a scheduled twin-bill. The second game was washed out.
 The Cards continued to hound the Cubs by battering four Cin- cinnatti hurlers for 12 hits includ- ing home run by Whitey Ku- rowski, to whip the Reds, 9-6. Marty Marion, celebrating the day set aside in his honor as the National Leagues most valuable player, stroked a double during a three-run fifth inning to drive in two mates.
