The injunction suit filed by
the union last week claimed that

place still operators on mainte-
nance work or send them home
would violate the contract held
by the union was believed to be
one of the first of its kind.

its contract.

AN-Star Game
Ends 18th Ward
Baseball IISeason

1t was three years ago that
Scott Park, a shamble of weeds,
was classed as a has-been park,
but, today, thanks to the 14th
Ward Baseball Oldtimers Asso-
citation, it's classified as a first
class ball field.
This group, organized in this
district to promote baseball, did
a bang-up job and with the CO.
operation of Charles Wertz, city
recreation director, converted it
into a first-class ball field.
Today, our ball fields, the
envy of youngsters and oldsters
alike, with four high school and
six junior teams, sponsored by
this group along with merchants
and organizations, concluded a
highly successful season. Mem
bers of the organization coached
the future greats in their prog
ress in the favorite national pas
time.
The season was concluded two
weeks ago with the 14th Ward
organization sponsoring All-Star
games between the winners of
the senior league meeting an all
star aggregation and the junior
champs meeting the cream of
the crop in that league. The
champions of both lie agues
emerged victorious in both the
leagues, the pickings being con-
Quoted by the managers.
Many of the coaches and man.
ayers stalwarded home chores to
promote this game among young
sters, which, according to city
authorities, is one of the finest
gestures evidenced by anyone.
Leading this organization are
such fellows as Ted Tafelski,
treasurer; Walter Madrzykow-
ski, president; Bud Pacholski,
vice president; Joe Labuzinski,
secretary; Joe Wawrzyniak and
Babe Seaman. On the entertain
ment committee there are fell
lows like Leo Garwacki, chair
man, and many others.
