Commanders Defect
Tigers I0-2
Clients Win Browns

The Commanders trounced
the Tigers by a score of 1912 in
yesterdays game on Parade
Ground. The games were poor
ly played as the Tigers COM
mitted ten errors. In several
innings the Tigers pitcher had
to strike out the side as his
team mates consistently had
him in difficulty with errors.
He showed plenty of class,
however, and with better sup
port the results might have
been different.
In the second game the
Giants beat the Browns 6-2.
However, the score does not
tell the true story. This game
was bitterly contested all the
way. The Giants pitcher Cyril
Boynes, hit a home run in the
first half of the 9Th to put the
Giants out in front, but the
Browns tied it up in the bot
tom half.
In the top half of the 9th the
Giants scored two more runs
making it g. to ] but Tutein hit
a homerun for the Browns in
the last of the 9Th to make it
80. In the top Of the 9th the
Giants scored their final three
runs. The Browns has not
been hitting up to expectation
this season and their star play
er, Este, who has been out of
the lineup is greatly missed
for his hitting ability.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "a
Most Of us have heard fish stories
Pigments Of the imagination of our
friends, but Bob Volk is telling
the granddaddy of them all to-
day-and it's true.
Mr.. Volk, "a, fought for three
hours yesterday to save the life OF
a giant sun fish. He put on SWIM
ming trunks. climbed into a FIVE
foot deep tank and applied artif1-
cial respiration in vain effort to
save the fish.
Mr.. Volk, who works at the
Publicker Alcohol Co., is a nature
lover and a constant visitor to the
Philadelphia Aquarium where he
picks up information on raising
fish.
Off duty yesterday, he joined
some commercial fishermen at
Seaside Park, N. j., 81 miles from
Philadelphia, and helped them
haul in the 600-pound, five-foot
sun fish in their nets.
Mr.. Volk Immediately volun-
teered to drive the fish to the
Philadelphia aquarium to give him
to his friend, Harry R. Lindeman,
the aquarium superintendent.
He placed the fish in a tank
trailer attached to his car and
hurried to Philadelphia. The fish
displaced so much water in the
tank that from time to time Mr.

trucks, power units and refrig-
orators would be hit by a long
walkout.
Continuance of the dispute also
would affect production at other
Harvester plants, including the II
plants where the Farm Equip
ment- United Electrical Worker,
independent union holds bargain
ing rights for $1,000 employees.
These plants are at East Moline,
Rock Falls, Rock Island, Canton
and Chicago. Ill.,: Auburn, N. Y;
Richmond. Ind, and Louisville,
KY. Four FE-UE plants are in
Chicago.
New Contract Submitted.
Still another Harvester plant Is
in Milwaukee. The bargaining
agent there is an AFL union. A
Milwaukee Harvester official pre-
dicted last night that 80 per cent
of the 4,200 workers there will be
forced into idleness within a week
if the strikes elsewhere continue.
Meanwhile, FE-UE prepared to
submit to it's members a proposed
new two-year contract with Har-
vester. It provides 7-cents
hourly raise.
Although the new contract had
the approval of FE-UE top Off
cials. there were indications of
some rank-and- file dissatisfaction.
Some $50 FE-UE members
struck yesterday at Richmond,
Ind, forcing the Harvester plant
there to shut down.

Artificial Resuscitotion Fails
To Save 6OO-Pound Sunfish

volk stopped to add more water
to the tank.
On its arrival, the giant fish
looked none too health. MIR. Lind
aman had him placed in an empty
tank, 9 by 18 feet, and the fish
quickly sank to the bottom.
At Mr.. Lindaman's suggestion,
Mr.. Volk jumped into the tank to
walk" the fish. To walk a fish,
one places it straight and gently
moves it back and forth.
That didn't help much. so Mr..
Lindaman suggested artificial res
piration. Mr.. Volk had never
heard of applying it to fish. but
he was game and went to work.
With Mr.. Lindaman giving in
structions. Mr.. Volk applied pres
sure behind the fish's gills, which,
like human lungs, enable a fish
to breathe.
For two hours and 20 minutes
Mr.. Volk worked patiently. The
6-foot-1 Inch Mr.. Volk stood in
water up to his shoulders, pushing
his hands forward and backward.
About 400 persons gathered to
watch the rescue effort.
At last, Mr.. Lindaman said it
appeared the fish would not re-
vive. So Mr.. Volk climbed out.
But he wasn't finished yet. Mr..
Volk told Mr.. Lindaman he want
ed to try some more, climbed back
in the tank and applied artificial
respiration for 20 minutes more.
Then, exhausted and disheart-
ened, Mr.. Volk climbed out of
the tank. The fish was dead.
Mr.. Lindaman said the fish ap-
parently had not been injured.
but had suffered from lack Of
deep sea water on his trip here.
He was an aquatic animal,
and he was out of his element"
Mr.. Lindaman said. He explained
that the fish, known as a sea
COW hereabouts, normally makes
his home on the ocean floor and
probably was swept toward shore
by the recent Atlantic hurricane.
Ichthyologically speaking, a sea
COW is manatee, a different
aquatic specimen.
