AEZ SEAMEN,S STRIKE
THREATEASES AS CLIO
GETS NEW PEACE PLAN
DAY LENGTH
BARS SETTLEMENT
Conciliators Produce Plan
To Avert June Is Ship
ping Walk-O Out
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, June s.
(AP)-The immediate threat
of an AFL seamen's strike
blew over today but a new
government maneuver to stop
CLIO sailors from walking off
ships June Is began general
ing union opposition.
The AFL sailors union of
the Pacific halted a strike
vote and began talking wage
hour issues with west coast
shipowners. A spokesman
for the owners reported
"definite progress"
That happened in San Francisco.
Apparently it scuttled a possibility
that both AFL and CLIO seamen
might be on strike simultaneously
on all coasts by mid-June.
Here in Washington, government
conciliators stepped up efforts %
dissolve the CLIO end of the mari
time crisis. They produced a plan
to give sailors time off with pay
in port instead of a shorter work
week at sea . To provide some
| thing definite for discussion, they
suggested retention of the present
56-hour week at sea and a day off
with pay for every IA days afloat.
The mediators dropped the pro-
posal into negotiations between
east coast ship operators and the
committee for maritime unity,
which is bargaining for the big
CIO national maritime union and
six allied unions.
Neither the men who operate the
ships nor those who man them
showed any inclination to accept
the plan as a complete solution to
the issue of working hours-the
biggest barrier in the way Of an
agreement.
No Stand Taken
They took no official, public
stand. And negotiations continued
But union spokesman said the
proposals ignores their funda,

56-hour week at sea, n said pr.

called off until there was some

New Haven, Conn, June 20.-Ar- tie Moher, little bundle of dyna- mite whose sensational shortstop play was the big factor in Yale clinching the Eastern Intercol- legiate League baseball title this Spring, has moved into the top spot on the Blue Hit parade.
 The pint-Sized sophomore, who turned a triple and double as the Eli wrapped up the league a week by turning back Princeton, has a nifty .378 average and has over- hauled Bob James after a season. long struggle. James trails with a .371 plate mark, while Hammer ing Harry Reese and Bolt Elwell follow with impressive averages just a shade under the coveted 300 circle.

Bat 'sLo0ded" With SIugs From AS
By JOHN A. CIUNEY

One of the many unusual but true baseball stories told about tall Ted Williams, the Red Sox slugger who has given up the idea of going home to join the fire department since the Navy Air Force took him in. is told by Earl Ruby of the Louisville Courier Journal, as fol- lows:
 'The rules provide that @ bat 'must be round, not over two and three quarter inches in diameter at the thickest part, nor more than forty two inches in length. and en- tIreiy of hardwood of one piece" A bat loaded with metal of any kind is not legal, though old-timers have attempted in many ways to add weight. But the most perfectly loaded" bat of all time could have been made from one piece of ash that Ted Williams examined when he was in Louisville this spring. It felt unduly heavy at one end, but no marks were visible. Upon closer ex- animation, five minute holes were discovered. He had workman gouge out the wood, and discovered to his amazement five closely-grou- ped slugs from a AS, and one from 8 .3O-30. They had been fired into the tree (perhaps by wild game hunters) and many years ago when it stood among its brothers in a Pennsylvania forest. The tree grew around the slugs and erased almost all trace of their entrance"

.CoIored Stars Meet Brosscos

Jacksonville Eagles of the Negro Southern League, one of the strong travelling colored teams, makes its first appearance in Waterbury to- morrow night against Joe Samoska's $ Brasscos at Municipal Stadium at 8:45.
 The club is well stocked with talent. In Bob Wilson, third base man, the Jacks have a hard hitting youngster. And they boast a fast and powerful outfield trio in Johnny Ray, formerly of the Cincy-Indian- apolis Clowns, George Washington and A. B. Bassard.
 Spec Ellis and Clyde Golden are southpaw hurlers, and Early Rich burg is a right handler. Player Manager Daddy Holmes will select one of them as a starter.
 Gift for Tony
 It will be Aviglianese Night at the Stadium tomorrow night, the popular North End Italian club honoring Tony Cuccinello, veteran performer. Cuccinello, one of the great stars of the major leagues for 15 years, retired last season after finishing second to George Stirnweiss in the American League batting race. He's still a powerful hitter. He got only one hit two weeks ago but is expected to find the range tomorrow.
 President Leonard Yannielli of the Avigs will present Cuccinello a gift.
 Tony will play third bases and his brother Al will show at shorH stop. Tommy Kiely of ,Torring- ton, former Duke University player, makes his debut at first base. Kiely is big fellow with reputation as 8 hitter.

McBurney Loses At TorrinQton
(SneciaI tO The DemOcrat)

Torrington, June 21-Loose ring ropes brought 8 sudden ending to the main boxing bout of six rounds last night at F'ussenich Park, when Eddie OTash of Bridgeport and his opponent, Bobby Holt of Dam bury tumbled out of the ring to the ground, O'Tash injuring his arm to an extent that caused Dr. Her bert Oelschlegel, state commission examining physician for Torring- ton, to order the bout stopped. The end came in the second round, Holt being credited with T.K.O. Holt weighed 147, O"Tash, 147.
 Charley Ltwinis of New Britain and Eddie Jackwyn of Hartford, two 138 pounders, fought to a bristling five-round draw ill one of four semi-pro bouts. Jackwyn had a definite edge going into the third round, but his younger op- ponent rallied strongly enough in the next three rounds to gain part of the decision.
 Torrington's popular and hard hitting Jimmy McBurney was out- boxed and defeated by Henry Cole man of New Haven in an upset five-round bout. McBurney started well, scored heavily to Coleman's body, but Coleman hit hard enough to open cut near his foes eye, and outbox him completely in the last two rounds, to gain the decision of Referee John Cluney of Waterbury. Each boy sealed 137 pounds.
