By BERT WHYTE VICTORY NOTE: The Pacific Tribune Clippers, who finish- ed fifth in the eight-team Industrial Baseball League this sum- mer, hopped over to Port Alberni and won $275 in an Island tournament, whipping Recorders 13-3 and the highly-touted — 49ers 10-6. “Hustle did it,” said the pleased Clippers’ coach, * * * ie SALMON DBPRBY: Rain or shine, the Marine Workers’ fifth annual Derby, with over $600 worth of prizes, takes place this Saturday, September 13. The contest is open to union members and their families, and all boats must ‘be checked in between 5 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. at Eagle Harbor. Registration fee is a buck, payable at the union office, 339 West Pender. “For the benefit of visitors who might be unfamiliar with our terminology,” explains Ship and Shop, the union paper, “‘a salmon derby is not a race between salmon, selected for speed and stamina as ‘are horses for the real Derby, but is a contest between fisher- fen, including some deluded individuals who think they can catch fish, to see who can hhaul in the biggest salmon within a set area during a certain time period.” : * * * BRITISH EMPIRE GAMES: News item in the Vancouver Province says: “Alderman Halford Wilson, back from a scouting trip into Hollywood’s movie colony, told City Council Monday there would definitely be movie stars lined up for a big Van- couver show in aid of British Empire Games funds.” Seems to me that if this town can’t promote the Games without calling on Hollywood for assistance, We might as well throw up our hands and let the BEG go east, to Toronto or Hamilton. - A meeting of the Games committee was held in the Pacific- Athletic Club on Monday this week, but nobody put the bite on the assorted industrialists present, all of whom are allegedly rabid sports fans. * * *. NUT-HOUSE: The Nut-Hiouse team, which finished third in the ‘Major Women’s Softball League at Kerrisdale Park this summer, are now living up to their name by aiming at the moon. The gals are in Phoenix, Arizona, where they will compete for the so-called World Softball championships. Mainstay of the Nut-House team is (Negro chucker Ethel Ramsay, who occasionally hurls a no- hitter when she’s in the mood. * * * , SUBWAY SERIES: Unless Cleveland Indians can overtake those fabulous Yankee in the stretch drive, it looks like an- other subway series this year. But it will be the Dodgers and not the Giants in the National League. Last April 25 I called ’em to finish this way: ‘ National League: Brooklyn, St. Louis, New York, Phila- delphia. American League: Cleveland, New York, St. Louis, Boston. Here’s how they stand at present: National League: Brooklyn, New York, St. Louis, Phila- delphia. American League: New York, Cleveland, Boston, Chicago. * * x CLEAN UP NEEDED: Veteran editor ‘Nat Fleischer of The Ring magazine advances this plan to clean up the boxing game: (1) The elimination of the ‘hoodlums and their influence on boxing; (2) ‘A stern ‘hand against promoters who secretly deal with such; (3) More intelligent and liberal matchmaking in which cliques are ignored and fair play instituted to give all a chance; (4) Encourage- ment of younger boxers; (5) Preventive measures to curb: further encroachmen on the minor territory by the acquisition of additional clubs ‘by tthe International Boxing ‘Club; (6) Big time promoters around the world should help finance small clubs, using them as in- cubators in which 'to hatch ‘future talent. - * * YOU CAN’T WIN: If you still think you can (beat the races, listen 'to this story. There was once an English thhorse named Tilli- cum, who was being ‘shipped 'to Folkstone for a class race. If ever tthere was a sure winner, he was it, for no other horses were entered. _ All Tillicum:had to do to collect the purse was walk around the track by himself. But he never made it, for the van broke down on the way to the track. * * * KNOCK, KNOCK: Archie Moore, lightheavyweight title con- tender who has been ‘knocking at the door for lo, these many years, may finally get a crack at champ Joey Maxim this fall. Fast-talking Jack Kearns, Maxim’s manager, got Joey off the ‘suspension hook by promising the National Boxing A'ssociation to give Moore a shot at the crown within 60 days. Moore sa'ys that if the can ‘bea't Maxim ‘he’ll gladly meet Randy Turpin, the British champ, 90 days later. Maxim thas been dodging a match with Turpin for ‘the past year, and was recently suspended iby the New York State Athletic ‘Commission for ducking a battle with the Britisher. Moutreal workers reject union raiders Six hundred workers in the Warden-King plant at Montreal struck two weeks ago to back their demands for a 15-cent wage increase and to block a company inspired union-smashing raid bY the AFL Moulders Union. The workers, members of the United Electrical Workers, rejected the _. Moulders Union, charging its leaders with having conspired with the company and the Duplessis government to smash their union, od n ne 4 ‘Business good’ shareholders — told, but shipyards claim they can’t pay wage demand — Despite the fact that the. Canadian Manufacturers Association policy of “hold the wage line” has been broken by carpenters, painters, miners, woodworkers and other organized industrial work- ers in B.C., operators in the shipyards continue to clin forced to abandon the wage struggle this year. The companies were ‘given a sharp answer by members of the Marine Workers and Boilermak ers’ Union on September 3 when they voted 99.3 percent in favor of a minority recommendation of the union representative on a government conciliation board, calling for a wage increase of 20 cents across the board and other benefits, Negotiations between the un- ion and the companies began more than three months ago. The first meeting lasted three minutes; the second meeting about two minutes. Then the companies announced they were going to conciliation. The board was split three ways in its decisions. The chairman, A. J. Cowan, QC, recommended a 10-cent hourly hike. Company representative R. A. Mahoney held out for renewal of the pre- sent contract with no change in wages. Union representative James Barton called for 20 cents across the board plus other bene- fits. : “The employers’ representa- tive stated that the companies were being priced out of the industry due to ‘the higher wage rates on the West Coast,” Dunsmuir Varieties LUGGAGE & CHINA GOSSSS Y Special Discount Yo All Tribune Readers Bring This Ad With You 519 DUNSMUIR ST. acy SSSSSSSSSSESSSOSOSSSSOOSS - HA. 6570 Stylized Permanents and Hairshaping 5 oy Paul's Beauty Salon 2511 E.
