contested, with David D. Squires
another candidate on the Smooi
slate, holding a narrow lead until
the last ward, the sixth, reported.
Bragg Carries Sixth Ward.
The sixth ward went overwhelm.
ingly for Mr.. Bragg, pushing him
ahead of Mr.. Squires by 127 votes

only one in the city to give a ma.
jority to the ward plan. Mr.. Bragg

Labor Officials Urqe
Putting Union Men on
Navy Wage Boards

A labor official charged today that
refusal of the Navy Department to
allow union members on wage ad-
visory boards which help determine
pay rates is causing "a serious loss
of morale" at the Naval Gun Fac
tory here.
The official, Frank Bryant, presi-
dent of the Metal Trades Council
at the factory, testified before a
Senate Civil Service Subcommittee
in favor of a bill to allow half OF
the boards membership to be union
ofiicials.
The measure, affecting about 49,
600 workers in this area, also would
set up q central Navy review board
with union members to pass on
recommendation of local advisory
boards. The boards recommend
wages according to comparable pay
rates In private industry in each
area.
System Changed Last Year.
The system Of including union
representatives on the boards was
in effect from 1920 until last year
when the Navy barred the workers
and abolished the central review
board.
Mr.. Bryant said that dissatisfac-
ton over pay recommendations
here has reached the stage that
workers with many years of service
now talk of resigning" He pointed
out that there are few industries
here by which to judge pay scales
Registering opposition to the
bill, Admiral p. B. Nibecker, head
of industrial relations for the Navy
said unions are being asked under
the new plan to suggest private
companies to be surveyed for wage
information and that the data Is
collected by civilian workers.
"Dictatorship" Charged.
Another labor official protested
that the exclusion Of civilian partic-
tpation In setting wage rates "is
part of a general pattern for ag-
gression on the part of our armed
forces command"
George @. Lynch, president OF the
Patternmakers' League of North
America, told the committee the
Navy policy is a definite move
toward military dictatorship"
William c. flushing. AFL legisla-
tive chief, testified that the Navy
policy appears to be plan to keep
workers from having anything to
say about the amount of their CON-
pensations." He pointed out that
even under the proposed bill, the
Secretary of the Navy would have
final decision on pay rates.
He said he did not think "tht
training and experience of Navy
officers fits them entirely to ruis
on civilian affairs"

Home Rule Bill 10 Go
Before House Without
Senators Signatures

Revised proposals for an elected
and streamlined city government
here will come before the House
without the formal blessing of the
Senate members OF the joint House
Senate Home Rule subcommittee
Although suffering the loss of this
moral support, members of the
House group in charge of the District
charter bill plan to seek early ac.
ton ON the issue by the full HOUSE
District Committee.
The Senate wing of the joint
group late yesterday declined tt
sign the proposed joint report or
the bill as revised by the Auchincloss
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee. Both sides said, how.
ever, there is mo major disagree.
ment" as to principles.
Changes Cited.
Chief reason given for the failure
of Senate members to agree to the
final report is that many change:
have been made in the measure anc
that the Senate side has had little
time to study them.
AS explained by Senator Ball, Re.
publican, of Minnesota, head of the
Senate Home Rule Subcommittee
'The House members have done
most all the work. on this measure
and our thought was to let them gt
ahead and put the bill through tht
House. If it is approved there, W.
will then take it up for action OF
the Senate side"
He suggested also that additiona
hearings might be held by the Sen
ate group on the basis of the bill a.
it may be passed by the House.
Senator Ball said he had no
changed his general view in supper
of granting the District an elected
city government.
Quicker Action Possible.
Chairman Auchincloss said appar
emily the Senate members prefer II
maintain their freedom of action.
He said it was suggested this nigh
lead to quicker action in The flna
analysis.
There were reports that Senat
members questioned some of tn
provisions of the forthcoming f1na
draft Of the House subcommittee.
| Details of the changes adopted
by the House group are scheduled
to be announced within a few days
House legislative aides now ar
putting the finishing touches on tn,
lengthy measure. Copies of the ex
planatory report now are ready fo
the printer. The revised bill is tt
be introduced next Monday in th'
House. T.
Groups Must Act Separately.
Under congressional rules com.
mittees of each house must ac
separately on proposed legislation
The Auchincloss subcommittee
however, had hoped to get the sig
natures of at least majority OF
Senate members on the revised bill
Also. it had been planned for thu
final drafts to be introduced stimuli.
ltaneously in both the House ane
Senate.
Chairman Auchincloss will ask fol
an early meeting Of the House Dis
trict Committee to act on the re.
vised bill and to send it to the
House for action. Indications are
there will be sharp fight in the
House committee. Both opponents
and proponents are predicting vic
tory there.

Second Game
The second game was the story
of two innings, the fourth and the
seventh.
Trenton went ahead 10 in the
fourth, when Jok opened the inning
with two-base hit to left center
and Easterbrook, the next man up,
scored him with a single to center
and went to second himself on the
throw to the plate Cunningham

won the game in the bottom half of
the seventh. Christie, the first man
up, singled to left, but Yeash forced
him at second, and then George Dad
dario stepped up and got his second
home run of the day, this one be-
ing a towering smack high over the
centerfeld wall, to win the game.
While Kapucinski gave up eight
hits, he was unbeatable in the clutch,
and too much credit also cannot be

two batters and threw the other out
himself.
In the top half of the fifth, Polin-
ski opened the inning by getting a
base on balls. Martin forced him at
second, and then Fauth got a base
on balls to put two men on base.
Ermer took a third called strike for
the second out, but Jenis singled to
left, scoring Martin for the first run
of the ball game. But Keller ended
the inning by grounding out second
to first.
The Owls made it 80 in the top
half of the sixth Christie walked
and Yeash followed with a double
to deep left, scoring Christie and
Yeash went to third ON the throw
in, from where he also scored on a
wild pitch. Daddario was up next,
and he went after three-nothing
pitch, but popped it straight up in
the air, and Abramson, who played
first base in the second game, wrap
ped it up. Polinski also walked, but
Martin took third called strike.
With the ''hit and run" sign on, Po-
linski broke for second on the pitch,
and he was easily thrown out to
complete the double play.
In the last three innings, Hanna
completely overcome his wildness
and retired the last nine men to
face him in order.
After shutting out the Cards in
the first five innings (assisted by
two snappy double plays) Fauth
ran into plenty of trouble in the
sixth, and most of it came with two
men out. Haus, the first man to
face him, grounded out third to first.
Watkins walked, but Ciaffone pop

Sunday, July 18)

1t certainly is good to be able to
report that our Owls won a double
header from Trenton at the stadium
on Sunday afternoon by scores of
TO and 81.
In the first game, the young right
handler, Jim Lawrence, pitched a
steady game, to gain his second
straight win in organized ball. AL
though he still is a little wild at
times Che walked six, he pitched
good ball in the clutch and struck
out six batters. Although he got
credit for the win, he had to have a
little help from Lou Fauth in the
eighth, and let me say right here
that Lou did fine relief job.
Claude Christie did the catching
until the sixth, when he had to take
over center field after Keller was put
out of the game by umpire Burnett,
and Gene Crumling not only caught
the last three innings, but came
through with a timely single in the
seventh that scored the two runs that
won the ball game.
Jim MacFaden, a right handler,
started for Trenton, with Turowicz
coming in in the seventh, and Fall
cioni, left handler, taking over in
the ninth. MacFaden was the loser.
The second game was a pitching
duel between Ted Kapucinski and
Almonte, both right handlers, with
Ted coming out on top, due mainly
to his fine pitching in the clutch and,
of course, George Daddario's home
run in the seventh, which was the
winning blow. Crumling caught
for Hagerstown, and Tickey was be-
hind the plate for Trenton.

TRENTON HERE
(Friday, July 16)

Trenton won the first of their five
game series with the Owls at the
stadium on Friday night, by a
score of 90.
The Owls lost a golden opportunity
to win the ball game in the bottom
half of the eighth, when they had
the bases loaded, with one out, and
needed just two runs to put them out
in front. But Hal Keller, who has
been in a real batting slump for the
past few days, Struck out, and
Claude Christie grounded out to end
the inning.
Kapucinski started for Hagers-
town, but he only lasted two in
nings and was charged with the
loss. Don Bolton took over in the
third and pitched beautiful shut-out
ball until the ninth, when he weak
ened and allowed two runs. Claude
Christie was the catcher.
Vine Di Lorenzo, a left handler,
started for Trenton and was cred
tied with the win. He had to get
help, however, from Turowicz, a
right handler, in the eighth frame.
Nick Tesla was behind the plate.
The Giants hoped on Kapucinski
right off the bat, scoring three runs
on three singles and a double in the
first inning. They came right back
in the second frame to score three
more, on double, single and the
first of Stan jocks two home runs.
They got their seventh run in the
third on a double and two singles.
Their final two runs came. in the
ninth on Gamers fourth hit of the
night "a single) followed by jocks
second homer.

The Owls picked up a run in the

benefit of a hit. Griggs walked Kel-

Yeash sacrificed them around, and
then Daddario grounded out second
to first, with Keller scoring ON the
play, but again Polinski ended the
inning by grounding out.
The Cards came right back in the

the game on ice. With one away
Haus doubled to center, Watkins fol

the inning with a base on balls; Don

then Christie got a hit to short left

The Owls scored a run in the first
inning when, after Ermer and Jenis
had walked, and Keller had forced
Jenis at second, Christie singled to
right, scoring Ermer. They got
three more in the third. Ermer
opened the inning with a single to
right. Jenis then grounded to Wet
eel, who made a bad throw to Paw
lick at second, and both runners
were safe. This brought on a ter
rife argument in which the whole
infield charged in on the umpires
with the result that Manager Tommy
Heath was put out of the game.
When play was resumed, Keller
was up next and he struck out, but
Christie dribbled a ball along the
third base line that stayed fair all
the way and went for an infield hit,
filling the bases. Yeash then got a
base on balls, forcing Ermer across
the plate. Daddario then grounded
to Pavlick, who made wild throw
to first, with Jenis and Christie scor-
ing on the error. Polinski then
struck out to end the inning.
They picked up another run in
the sixth when Polinski walked,
went to third on Beltons single and
scored while Ermer was being
thrown out at first.
In the eighth inning, after Polinski
had struck out for the third time,
Martin and Bolton both walked
Ermer then drove single by Gar
ner, and Martin scored. Jenis also
walked, filling the bases. But Keller
went down swinging, and Christie
was an easy out at first

Barney Schultz continues to be
the hard luck pitcher of the Inter
state League"
In Monday nights game at Will
mington, during the seven innings
he pitched, Barney only gave up two
hits, but both of them, unfortunately,
were home runs, which, combined
with two walks and two errors, pro
duced four of the eight runs that
Wilmington scored in the full game.
But despite those two home run
blows, Barney could easily have been
the winning pitcher if his teammates
could have come through in the
clutch, for the first man up in the
second inning, the third inning, and
the fifth inning, all doubled, but not
a run was scored.
