LONDON (LPA) Oct. 4 -
Professional players in Britain's
big-money sport-soccer, which
the British call "football"-are
amazed to learn that U. S. base
ball players are just beginning
to talk about unionism.
The Players Union of Brit
ain was founded in 1907, waged
it's first strike in 1909, and is
now again holding the strike
threat over management's head
The soccer players of rs teams
are demanding minimum pay
guarantees, both in season and
out; increased maximum pay
scales; and benefits for service
with the armed forces.
The union has a membership
OF we'll over 1000, and for dues
of 40c a week the members
receive in addition to the
usual union benefits - insur-
ance against permanent disable
ment.

Ten COMMANDMENTS
Of Hunting Safety

It's an old story and perhaps
tiresome reading to those who
use common sense and caution in
the handling of firearms in the
popular shooting and hunting
sports but the alarming rate of
accidents during the past squirrel
season makes 1t even more neces.
sary that people in general follow
the Ten Commandments of
Hunting Safety" which are:
l. Treat every gun with the re-
spect due a loaded gun. This is
the cardinal rule of gun safety.
2. Carry only empty guns, taken
down or with the action open, in.
to your automobile, camp and
home. 3. Always be sure that
the barrel and action are clear
OF obstruction. A. Always carry
your gun so that you can control
the direction of the muzzle even
II you stumble. S. Be sure of
your target before you pull the
trigger. 6. Never point a gun at
anything you do not want TO
shoot z. Never leave your gun
unattended unless you unload II
first. 8. Never shoot at a flat,
hard surface or the surface of
water. 8. Never climb a tree or
a fence with loaded gun. 10
Do not mix gunpowder and alco.

Mr.. Extra-Point this year at

from Parkersburg, w. Va, who
is scheduled to do all the place

charges.
Farley will always be remem-

1914 and most of 1945 but re-

he scored the touchdown and
then kicked the extra point which

Football Team Loses Opener
Bob Martin
New
Head Coach

The newly-formed Local IL
All-Star football team lost
the opening game of the
heavyweight division of the
Toledo Football Federation to
the Schmidts Beers, 6 to 0, Sun
day at Woodward high school
field.
The highly touted Schmidt's
Beers, formerly known at the
Birmingham Boosters, were
played to standstill by the
UAW-CIO football machine and
were held in their own territory
for three periods Of the game.
In the third quarter, the Beers
completed twenty-five yard
pass which resulted in the lone
touchdown of the game. When
the Beermen tried for the point
after touchdown, the Local IL
forward line broke through and
blocked the kick.
The game was see-saw affair
with neither team making very
large gains but in the fourth
period, the Local IL All-Stars
crashed through the opposing
linemen for three successive
first downs before losing the
wet and muddy ball on a
tumble.
The Local IL players surprised
and pleased their most ardent
supporters by their aggressive
ness and ability to smear the
Beer runners. Up to this time
the Union footballers hadn't run
through actual scrimmage be-
cause of lack of equipment, but
now the team is fully equipped
and have shown a marked inn
provement.
Bob Martin of the Toledo
Scale Unit of Local IL, has been
named new head coach of the
team and is taking full charge
of the players, succeeding Eddie
Podbielniak who has been call
ed out of town. The team has
been working on several new
running and passing plays and
has been clicking as a well-or-
ganized football machine for
coach Martin.
Next on the schedule for the
Local IL All-Star football team
will be the Gradel Goals, and
according to advance informa-
ton, the Fuelmen from the East
Side will be hard to beat in the
Toledo Football Federation. The
game will be played, rain or
shine, at 2:30 pm. Sunday, on
the Woodward high school grid
iron.

However, let us hope for

that the National Leaguers
will be able to regain their

Even though Ted Williams

any time that he is at bat.
Joe Louis, who scaled in at
21111 pounds for his fight"
with Tami Mauriello, the

reer, probably came in at that
weight deliberately to plug
his new restaurant.
AS most football coaches
say, "You can expect any

year" Anyone who tries to
predict the big games is just
wasting his guess. Many of
the former stars who went
into the service and returned
to their Alma Mater do not
possess the stuff" which
made them national lumin-
aries. Then on the other
hand, some of the lads who
were never heard of learned
a lot in service and will come
forth with some great feats
