Twill Take Bucs' Case
To NLRB, Declares
Murphy Of Guild
BY the Associoied Press

PITTSBURGH, June 9 Sunday
Robert Murphy, organizer of the
Pittsburgh Baseball Guild, said
early today he would file charges
of unfair labor practices with the
National Labor Relations Board
against the Pittsburgh Baseball
Club.
Murphy said the charge would
allege the Pittsburgh club, through
its officials, attempted to dis
suade players from dealing through
the American Baseball Guild, their
chosen representative, for the pur-
poses of collective bargaining" and
that the club officials urged the
players to deal individually with
them regarding their grievances p"
A threatened strike by Pittsburgh
players over union recognition Fri
day night was called off an hour
before their scheduled game with
the New York Giants.
Murphy said the players. at a
meeting preceding the game, had
voted 20 to is in favor of a strike,
but that a two thirds vote was
necessary to effect the walkout.
Murphy declared last night that
the refusal of the Pirates to strike
was simply an action against a
strike that particular night" and
did not imply a strike would never
be called again.

Louis Looks in Shape
In Longest Drill, but
Critics Like Conn
By the Assoeiated Press

POMPTON LAKES, N. j., June 8.
-EQr the first time in his career
as heavyweight champion, Joe Louis
today went more than six rounds in
workout with sparring partners.
After having gone round each
with AL Hoosman and George Fitch
and two each with Perk Daniels and
Jimmy Bell, he called Daniels back
for another heat.
Louis punched with both hands,
used good left hook and almost
ripped Bells headguard off with a
hard right cross.
To the majority of the spectators,
the champ looked in fine shape. But
two of the more expert members of
the crowd, former heavyweight title
holder Jimmy Braddock and former
light heavyweight king Tommy
Loughran, said they favored Billy
Conn for the June 10 fight at
Yankee Stadium.
Braddock, who already had made
that selection at the Conn camp, re-
peated it after seeing Louis work.
He said that Louis looked slow by
comparison to Conn.
Loughran thought the titleholder
looked physical fit, but that age
would be working against him.

ports alleging an epidemic of
gambling in baseball parks have
brought from President w. G.
Bramham of tie National Associ-
alton bulletin to all minor
league club owners charging them
to go "the very limit" to control
the situation.
Declaring that it was the duty
of club owners to break up such
situations" the bulletin said that
failure on their part to do so
would indicate that the practice
meets with their approval and
would make 1t necessary for
Bramham to forfeit franchises of
the offending owners"

the Cleveland Indians to a 81 vic

In swapping the Yankees winning
streak at five games, Feller famed

tory was the freballer's ninth of the
campaign, his third in a row over
the Yanks.
A home run by Pat Seerey in the
second with one aboard provided
the winning margin for Feller as
the only run he gave up was q
homer by Charley Keller in the
third. It was Keller's 18th round
tripper and gave him the league
lead.

Chandler as Old Timers HurIer
Proves Good Commissioner

II victories in 13 starts that year
and became the town hero.
Happy later went to the top in
baseball and the $500 residents of
Grafton, building a new athletic
field, decided to name it for him.
The ball game between players
with whom Chandler played &c
years ago was high spot of the
dedication ceremonies.
Chandler held the opposition to
four runs, but gave up a lot of
hits. No one knows how many.
For some reason, the scorekeeper
didn't get around to that column
of the box score.
Happy wasn't much of a star at
bat. In three times up, he struck
out, flied out to left field and drew
a base on balls.

Washington's winning streak and
Chicago's chain of defeats collided
yesterday at Griffith Stadium and
neither was damaged by the inn
pact: The Mats ran their string
of victories to five with brace OF
7-6 triumphs before 15,709 CUSTOM
ers, with the White Sox boosting
their successive losses to eight.
The Mats also notched their sixth
and seventh consecutive wins over
the White Sox, who haven't beaten
Washington this season, as the fans
sat through a long display of al
ternately brilliant and horrible
baseball which mercifully came to
an end 10 minutes short of 7
o'clock.
1t was Gil Torres, identified as
an infielder with the Mats but who
won 10 games with Charlotte as
a pitcher several years ago, who
eased the Mats out of what promised
to be an embarrassing episode in
the ninth inning of the second
game with Washington clinging to
a one-run lead.
Torres Stops Everything.
Torres was waved to the mound
after Hal Trosky's single off Max
Wilson sent Wally Moses across
the plate and shifted Luke Appling
to third. Trosky stole second tc
place the potential winning run in
scoring position, but Torres dis
