Two Tough
Games For Jeeps
Next Week

The Toledo Jeeps, who are
determined to get into the play
off for the National Professiona
Basketball League champion
ship, will run into some tough
opposition next week when they
tackle the indianapolis Kautsky's
on Monday night, and the Osh-
kosh All-Stars on the following
Thursday in the University OF
Toledo Field House.
The Monday night affair will
see the Kautsky's, holding down
the second-place berth in the
League, trying to set the Jeeps
back and out of the playoffs.
The Kautsky's will have their
usual strong lineup against the
amazing Jeeps and will use their

American choice from Indiana

All-American from Notre Dame,
will bolster the lineup and will
be backed up by such stars as
Herman Schaefer, Indiana u
luminary, Bill Close, of Rice,
and Bob Dietz, who coached the
Toledo Naval Armory team here
last year.
The Oshkosh "Gaints" will
show against the Jeeps Thursday
night in the Field House. Every
man on the team is at least a
six-footer. The roster will be
headed by Leroy Edwards, ALL

of the National League for three
years. Two other All-Americans,
Gene Englund of Wisconsin and
Ralph Vaughn of Southern Cali

The game was a nip and tuck

Immediately afterward, Err a
Moore, diminutive guard for the
Union team, followed with an
other field goal for a four point
lead. From then on the scoring
was even for both teams and was
not decided until the last minute
of play when baskets were made
by Johnny Manore, Ray Meyers,
and Chuck Swinghammer to sew
up the game for Local II.
Earlier in the season, the
Birmingham outfit won a victory

unfavorable publicity add to
the dark picture. You will
recall how Judge Bramham,
the retiring minor league
baseball czar, yanked the car
pet and limited strongly that
the national pastime was on
the brink of disastrous scan
dial.
And into your mind pops
tales of occasional shady
dealings in boxing, horse rae
ing and other activities, as a
result of which sports takes
a terrible beating at times
from well meaning friends
and foes alike. But about the
time you're ready for the
river or the gaspipe, you take
hold of yourself and start
looking for the brighter side,
and you discover that it's not
hard to find.
You think of the many
sports at which no one can
point a finger-track, tennis,
bowling, swimming, skating,
badminton, skiing, and a
flock of others. All the recog-
nized recreational programs
the countless high school,
college, and university heads,
coaches and players abso-
lutely beyond reproach {.
the thousands upon thousands
of honest contests in which
glory and the sheer love of
competition are the only con-
siderations the leading
citizens connected with anna
teur and professional sports
in its many phases.
No, it isn't at all difficult
to gain the honest conviction
that sports, generally speak
ing, are 99fo pure, and that
the remaining 10, who have
no real interest, caused all
the gloom in the first place.
Then, comparing the ir-
regularities of athletic events
with those of our every day
life, we find that the ratio is
very small and hardly worth
mentioning. For example, in

Bob Barker, manager of
the Gordon Unit team, gives
credit for the fine record of
the team to the high scoring
twin" Len Bode and Pete
Robinson, for the high sum of
$50 points as against 240 for
their opponents. Also coming in
for a lot of praise are the Sny-
der brothers, Ram and Norm,
who performed well at the guard
positions and were instrumental
in keeping the opponents score
at a minimum. In several of
the games, Bob Behrens was
used as a capable substitute for
the Snyder brothers and gave a
very good account of himself
throughout the season. Another
substitute who performed bril-
liantly, when called upon to do
so, was Gregory Szabo, a for
ward who was always ready to
go into the game.
The Spicer Unit No. 2 team
had a hard time getting started
in the beginning of the season,
but after a few practice sessions,
the Spicerites started to click,
under the tutelage of manager
Harvey Robedeau, and pressed
the leaders until the final game
of the schedule.
The Auto-Lite players, defend
ing champions of the Local II
Basketball League, lost several
games before they found" them
selves and made it hot for their
opponents, and despite a whirl-
wind finish they were able to
wind up in only the third place.
Joe Horvath was the mainstay
of the Auto-Lite pennant race
and was a credit to the teams
achievements.
Norm Schweickert was a big
help to the Swartzbaugh outfit,
which was in its first year of
Local IL competition. At the
beginning of the season it looked
like the Swartzbaugh tie am
would be one of the contenders
for the championship, but some
of the other teams finished
strong to nose out the new
comers to the league.

Taft-Hartley Co. Strikebreaking Move Is A Flop

PITTSBURCH-(FP) A man. agement inspired back to work movement fizzled here as a shut down of l8 restaurants in the Brass Rail and Rodgers Dairy chains en- tered its third week. About 300 AFL members are on strike for a I5c hourly increase and better working conditions.
 The back-to-work move, led by Arthur Bujalski, manager of one of the eight Rodgers eating places, Topped when the Rodgers strikers were given separate vote by secret ballot at the headquarters of Local 237, Hotel & Restaurant Employees Int1. Union. The count was 58 to 12 in favor of staying out.
 Results of the election scotched an attempt to decertify Local 237 as bargaining agent for the Rodg- CTS workers by Atty. William K. Watson, who had threatened to in- yoke the Taft-Hartley law if Local 237 refused to grant his demand for back-to-work election.
 BuJalski was one of five te11ers who counted the Rodgers vote. He reported back to Matson, who declined to con- ment beyond expressing "great sur prise at the result" He said he thought talks at a hotel meeting here the week before, called by a minority union group, had indicated different result.

Conference For Repeal Of State Curbs On Union

WASHINGTON - (FP) - The 14th annual Labor Dept. conference on state labor legislation meeting here last week went on record in favor of "the repeal of all state legislation enacted during the past few years detrimental to the rights of organized workers"
 The Conn. Federation of Labor was represented by Assistant Secre- tary J. Lawrence O'TooIe.
 The meeting of 200 representatives of state AFL, CIO and independent labor bodies, along with state labor commissioners, roundly denounced state laws passed as forerunners to or in imitation of the federal Taft-Hartley law. It adopted a resolution calling a halt to state antilabor laws, reading :
 RIGHTS DENIED
 "ThiS legislation wipes out tradi- tionS and customs that have prevailed for many years in that it denies to the workers the right to enter into union shop agreement with their employer. Many workers are thus denied the right of collective bargaining
 ''In addition, government by in- junction has been restored, and the employer permitted to practice in- timidatiOn, engage in espionage, and, in short, return to the old law of the jungle that prevailed prior to the enactment of legislation guaranteeing the workers the right

Are Publishers
 Trying To Drain L.T.U. Treasury?
Typos Counsel Sees Plan To Destroy Morale Of
 Organization

INDIANAPOLIS-(FP) = Pulp fishers strategy to force the Intl. Typographical Union (AFL) into an exhausting, money-draining bat tie over its opposition to the Taft Hartley act was revealed at an NLRB hearing on charges of unfair practices leveled against the union.
 ''This case is going to last for rmOnths; it may spread over the whole U.S.,'' he said.
 ITU Atty. Gerhard Van Arke1, de- lending the union on the complaint brought by the American Newspaper Publishers Assn, the Inland Press Assn. and the Southern Newspaper Publishers Assn, charged that the ex- pense of defending itself at hearings "all over the nation" would bankrupt the union and "break its morale be- fore it can establish justice"
 TWO BITES''
 He said the publishers are getting two bites at the apple" and forcing the union to defend itself at three levels-national, regional and local.
 Refusal of the southern publishers group to drop their case, Van Arkel said, proves that "there is a de1iber- ate policy here to try and bankrupt this union by extensive litigation"
 Demanding that the ''entire dis. pute be wrapped up in one package and settled,' Van Arkel said the present procedure ''is a way of breaking union morale - and the authors of the Taft-Hartley act had that in mind."
 The union attorney won a point when he succeeded in getting NLRR trial examiner Arthur Jeff to strike out paragraphs of the complaint ir which the publishers accused the ITU of refusing to bargain in good faith and causing ITU locals to do likewise Leff's decision is being appealed by | Sinsheimer.
 FINANCES TAPPED ITU finances are already being tap ped by publishers attacks i'll Chicago where 1,6O0 printers are striking six daily newspapers; in Hammond, Ind. and Norristown, Pa, where strikes are in progress; and in Detroit, where a strike vote threatens to close dowr three more papers.
 The NLRB case is regarded al the first national test of the Taft Hartley act, which the ITU in its brief termed unconstitutional. Tc protect its traditional closed shOI -Outlawed under the new act-the ITU's policy is to avoid signed con tracts and to enforce the closed shop by posting conditions of work"
