can, Federation of Labor officials
today were planning to call or
member unions to boycott tbs
handling of goods to or from Rus
sia and other Iron Curtain colln-
tries.
A resolution which would clamp
on the boycott was being prepared
for AFL convention approval BY
the Federation's International af-
fairs Committee, headed by Vice
President Matthew Woll.
The move was designed to i'm
plement the demand made by
AFL President William Green
that the Government halt i'm
mediately the shipment of all
American goods to Russia. He
said that anything the United
States sends to the Soviet Union
will be used against u.s."
Recalls Jap Trading.
Mr.. Green likened the present
situation to pre-Pearl Harbor days
when this country was carrying on
a lively trade with Japan, partic-
ularly in scrap iron, vital for
ornaments. AS early as 1887 the
AFL called for a halt of shipment
of scrap iron and other potential
war materials to the Japs.
The almost certain approval OF
the boycott resolution would en-
able the AFL unions in the pres
ent situation to act independently
of the Government in the matter.
Already AFL longshoremen in
New York and Boston have re-
fused to unload shipments of
caviar and furs from Russia. After
those boycotts President Truman
commented to the effect that for
eign policy was being made in
Washington.
Hartman to Speak.
w. Averell Hartman, special
assistant and adviser to President
Truman on international rela-
tions, was the featured speaker at
the convention today. Early re-
ports indicated that Mr.. Harri-
man would have something to say
of national interest.
Mr.. Green made it clear that
the 7 million members of the AFL
will drive now for higher wages.
He said that in the squirt since

THE MIAMI GIANTS OF 1928
In my last release, l told you
about the Miami Giants of 1922, and
the boys playing at the old Tatum
Park. / also told you about several
new, young players who Joined the
Giants at the close of that season,
in preparation for the next season.
This week, / want to tell you more
about those young players and some
of the activities Of the, Giants of
1928.
During the year OF 1922, the Gil
ants were managed by Gus Griffin
and Robert Bob Stancil. Together
these two well known partners nj
loted the team to a record for that
year.
1t was during the following year
1929 when Willie Duke" Slater
and the same Bob" Stancn teamed
up as co-managers of the Giants,
which at that time was composed
mostly Of a group of young players.
I've already told you the names Of
several of these young men, there
fore 1 won't go over that point
again.
At the beginning of the baseball
season Of 1923, Slater and Stancil
took the team on a road trip around
the state Of Florida, which lasted
more than 4 months. This was the
first time that many of the young
men had ever left home on any oc-
casion. The trip got off to a fine
start, but was soon made a bit
gloomy. when one Of the players
was injured and was forced to re-
turn TO Miami. He was Rubber"

AMOS WOODS BECOMES
PITCHER AND NICK.NAMED
RIG WHEEL"

1t was during the same year and
on the same trip that Amos Woods,
up to that time a star outfielder for
the Giants, became a pitcher and
was nick-named Big Wheel" It all
happened this way. The team was
playing in Eustis, Florida. The
Eustis boys had knocked out all Of
the available pitchers that tide Gil
ants had The Giants were really
pushed for pitcher to stop the OPP
posing team. My informer, Bristo
Payne, advised Slater to put Woods
in the box to pitch. Slater at first
was a little reluctant, but later
upon to pitch his first major game
He went into the box willingly,
early in the game, and not only
pitched a good game, but from the
dime he took over until the end Of
the contest, the Eustis boys did not
score any more. The Giants won
that game, which at first seemed
like 1t would be a runaway for the
opposing team.
And now about that nickname
Big Wheel" 1t was during that
very game, when Woods was pitch
ing. Being a tall strapping fellow,
Woods naturally had long, strong
arms. Once while he was winding
his arm around for pitch, a wo-
man spectator at the game, yelled:
Doesn't that fellow have a big,
long arm! 1t looks like a big wheel
when it's spinning aroundr' The
boys all laughed, and from that day
on he was nick-named Big Wheel
because Of his long arm, which ac-
| cording to the woman, looks like a
big wheel when he winds up.
Big Wheel" pitched and won
many other games for the Giants
before they returned home, with one
Of the finest records the team ever
made. He was also a good batter

ers on the National champion
ship 1949 campaign are missing,
among them Leon Hart, Jim Mar

the smallest, lightest and most
youthful Notre Dame team in
