Baseball Union
Scores Heavily

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 10
(LPA) - Big league baseballs
first trade union made a smash
hit here last week when the
Pennsylvania L bor Relations
Board directed that a collective
bargaining election be held on
Aug. 20 on the Pittsburgh Pirates
team.
The American Baseball Guild,
with 26 of the Pirates players
signed up, won a resounding VIC
tory as the three-man board cited
a 1927 opinion of the Pennsyl.
Vania Supreme Court that held
that professional baseball is
commerce, a worldly employ
ment" and a business" The Ma.
tional Labor Relations Board had
previously refused to take Jurls'
dlction on the grounds that base
ball was not interstate commerce
With the PLRB's decision went
the last hopes of club owners that
they could laugh off the infant
ABG's claims to recognition.
Owners of both major and minor
league clubs in states that have
little Wagner Acts and state
labor relations boards can now
expect accelerated unionization OF
their players, according to Robert
Murphy, ABG organizer. Murphy
hailed the PLRB decision for its
good judgment in holding that
baseball players, as any other
working or professional men or
women, have the right to organ
ize."
The decision also put a crimp

HenS-Soinfs Game
To Decide Title In.
18th Ward League.

The Mud Hens, scoring vic
tory over the Brewers, took un-
disputed possession of first place
in the 14th Ward Junior Base
ball League, as the Red Birds
upset the Saints in a ball game
which featured walks instead of
the customary hitting.
The Hens, with John Boyle
pitching alright ball in setting
down the Brews with two hits
and Bob Bickford leading the at
tack with three for four and
Lester Bogricki connecting for
three doubles featured the IL to
3 victory. Brewer Catcher John
Zielinski and Outfielder Ray
Kazda tailed the only two hits.
The Red Bird-Saints tussle
was featured by the two pitchers
but in another manner-to see
who could offer the most free
passes. The Reds collected but
three hits for 8 runs while the
Saints marked up 4 tallies on
four hits. Ben Binkowski and S.
Dembowski were the standouts
in the Red Bird victory.
The Blues tripped the Millers
by a comfortable margin of II
to 3. Jan Pazdzior was a bit
stingy with hits by allowing the
Millers 3 bingles. Lenny Maci-
olak had a perfect day at bat for
the Blues with three for three.
Danny Farbrothers' one-hand
stab of a long fly was the out
standing play of the game.
The feature game next week
Is between the Mud Hens and
the Saints which will decide the
for first place. Along
with the other regular schedule
games it will attract a large
crowd to Scott Park next We'd
nesday evening.

Noble county hunters are pre-
pared to take to the fields, Friday
November Is, at high noon, when
'he 1916 rabbit season is ushered

heavier hunting prospects.

while drilling an oil well in the

ated a number of leaseholds in the

burg community, later moving to
AIT Sixth street, Marietta. He was

Republicans Will
Take Over County
After January 1st
Willard Hickman Leads
Party To Complete
And Sweeping Victory

The wide sweeping Republican
victory, both in the state and county
will have far reaching effects and
this is particularly true in Noble
county. Of course, none of the
nor-elect Thomas Herbert has been
sworn into office, but they are al
ready being discussed.
1t is expected that Noble county
will have a new director of high
ways, a position now held by J. E.
Douglas, of Batesville, who is also
chairman of the Democratic execu-
tive committee.
A logical successor to Douglas
would be Willard Hickman, as
slstant to County Engineer Homer
Weldon and chairman of the Noble
county Republican executive COM
laittee. Hickman, who is serving his
1irst year as chairman of the COM
nlittee, largely aided his party to
sweep all the county, district and
state. He is sitting in the drivers
seat and should be rewarded for his
efforts.
Another political plum which the
Republicans expect to fill with
their own appointment, is that of
resident engineer, headquarters In
Caldwell and a position now held
by Grover G. Smith.
No one has been mentioned for
this post, hut the Republicans are
duty bound to find man with the
proper qualifications. 1t is under
stood that three ardent Republicans
already have their eye cast on the
superintendent of highways.
All Democratic employees on the
state highway and in the office of
resident engineer will eventually be
laid off and their places filled by
Republicans. This isn't anything
unusual as each administration must
take care of its own.
The state liquor store in Belle
Valley is now managed by Mrs.
John Sklenar, sr. A Republican
will be in line. The state liquor
store could be located in Belle Val
ley or Stock township, but the lat
ter is unlikely, due to its location
and the inconvenience to the con-
sumner. But anything could happen
here
There will be few changes in
the courthouse, but only in the
office of Auditor elect Harley
Wheeler. He has not yet announced
his preference of deputies.
When w. c. Toad Davis takes
over his duties as commissioner, the
board will be composed entirely of
Republicans, H. G. Williams and
Charles Rayner, the old members,
and Davis, the new.
And so it goes in politics.

The general election held in
Noble county November cost the
taxpayers approximately 100000
according to the figures on file at
the office of J. Kyle Walkenshaw,
clerk of the election board.
Inc largest single item is the pay
received by the vast army of clerks
and judges, necessary in every one
of the "a precincts in this county.
AS their compensation, they re-
ceived $1456.60. The presiding
judge in each precinct receives
$3.50 per day, plus his mileage one
way. The other judges and clerks
receive $3.50 for their services.
The election supplies, advertiS
ing, rental and care of the voting
booths comprise the other items of
cost to the taxpayers.
Clerk Walkenshaw pointed out
that the cost of the election is US
ually the same, regardless of
whether it is local or president

the election board office in Zanes-
vile.
In practically every precinct, the
judges and clerks are to be COM
mended for the excellent manner
in which they handled the election
returns. Only one precinct was late
in reporting. The first returns were
phoned in at 7:30 o'clock, just one
hour after the polls had closed and
practically all the reports had been
tabulated by midnight.
Members of the Noble county
election board stated today that
they were we'll pleased with the
cooperation and services they re-
ceived last November 5.
