Quincy
Opens

The first games of the Local
IL Basketball League Round
Robin tournament were played
Monday night in the Scott High
School gymnasium. The tourney
is a double knockout" affair
and as a team loses two games
in the play, it is automatically
eliminated from further compe-
tition.
An upset in the first game saw
Gordon Bumper defeat a favored
Champion Spark Plug outfit to
the tune of 20 to Is. Both
teams played a tight defensive
game and this accounted for the
comparatively low scores.
The Spicer Unit five had
fairly easy time with the Sur
face Combustion team when the
latter had a hard time finding
the hoop. They missed many
short shots under the basked.
The Spicer team took the lead
at the start of the contest and
held it until the final whistle.
Jim Huffman scored seven of
Spicer's "a points and Badik ac-
counted for six of the losers 16
markers.
The Auto-Lite Unit aggrega-
ton, which won the Local IL
Basketball League championship
last week looked like l jugger-
naut when they rolled over a
hapless Toledo Tools team. The
final score was 81 for the win
ming Auto-Lite and seven points
for the Tools.
The final game on the sched-
ule brought the DeVilbiss Unit
and the Toledo Tubes together
in closely played contest with
the DeVilbiss boys finally wind
ing up on the long end of a %
to l9 tally. The outcome of this
game was In doubt until the
final whistle as the lead changed
hands several times during the
play.
The following is the schedule
for the second round of the
Local IL B aske ball League
Round Robin tournament to be
played Monday night in Scott
High gym: The public is invited

Although money is probably
the most useful thing in this
world, did you know that there
is one thing that 1t cannot buy?
No, it cannot buy that priceless
blessing called health. Z e t
everyone who is willing to de-
vote a little of his time and
energy can enjoy it.
Some of our greatest athletes
today were once considered
hopeless cripples because of in
iuries received during child
hood. BY their burning desire
and determination they over
came their handicaps and ac-
quired health and fame. Don't
forget they didn't buy their
health; they worked hard, exer-
cised, and continued to practice
in their loved sports. After years
of hard work, they were re-
warded with sturdy bodies and
sparkling health. Let's mention
three examples who reached the
top of the ladder in their re-
spective sports.
Glen Cunningham, Americas
greatest miller, was the victim of
a stove explosion as a child and
wasn't given much hope. Glen
was determined to overcome his
handicaps and through hard
work did. He then went on to
achieve fame as a great mile
runner.

MOSCOW, Sept. 28.-Russia re-
newed her demands on Turkey to-
day that both nations join in organ
izing a defense of the vital Darda-
nelles gateway to the Mediterranean
without the aid of any outside pow
ers.
In disclosing a note replying to
Turkish reflection August % of
such a Soviet proposal, the Russian
Foreign Ministry said:
Despite the point of view ex-
pressed by the Turkish note the
Soviet government maintains the
opinion that only by joint means
can Turkey and the Soviet Union
secure freedom of merchant naviga-
ton and also security in the straits
Refusal by Turkey of joint de-
fense of the straits with the Soviet
Union deprives the Black Sea pow
ers of the possibility of guarantee
due the security of the region"
The Foreign Ministry disclosed
that Russia had asked Turkey to
enter into direct bilateral discussions
on the future control of the Darda-
nelles.
Under the Soviet proposal, such
a o-power meeting would precede
any formal conference involving
other nations signatory to the pres

and deprivation.
In any event this situation was
not covered by the anti-injunction
act of 1887 and is outside it's scope
and was not contemplated by the
legislature when it passed the act,
she said.
Judge Walter P. Smart, also a
Democrat, issued a five-day tenn
porary injunction, later extended II
days, and the kickback was more
than labor circles could bear.
1t depended on which side of the
party line you stood whether the
injunction had a chance of surviving
upper court scrutiny. Legal minds
all over thea still are quoting the
Constitution. One, feeling the means
justified the end, read the Ninth
Amendment:
"The enumeration in the Constitu-
tion of certain rights shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people"
18th Amendment Cited.
The 18th Amendment, prohibiting
slavery and involuntary servitude
except as a punishment for crime,
was cited by an anti-injunction man.
Coming minute before a proposed
September 9 walkout, the injunction
was characterized in some circles as
dramatic political fakery of the

troversies. Miss Alpern still lets the
court transcript speak for itself as
to her premises.
What chance the injunction would
stand against the Wagner Labor Re-
lations Act, which defines the right
to strike and picket, is another
matter.

Mueller felt his way up the ladder
from bearing babbiter at Pitts

Quick to incur the wrath of the
established unions, he not always
