IN E T Hours Of Sunday Morning Needed To Bring Close To Local Tournament NEW CHAMPIONS Norman McMillan Is Paired With Joseph Barcy In Taking Cup In Contract FACE MANY RIVALS By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor Griffith Stadium, Washington, Oct. 7.—UP—Better pitching, snap¬ pier play, harder hittiing and the iireaka today gave New York's Giants their first world's baseball champlon-shlp In eleven years. The National League team won tho series four to one. The Senators had no pitching to compare with that of Carl Hubbell, brilliant screw-ball artiat from Oklahoma. They had no player al¬ ways making the old college try In the manner of Blondy Ryan, an amazing youngster at short tor the New Yorks. Not once did a Sen¬ ator bat as did Mell Ott, Giants' right fielder, nor did the losers ever come through with concerted hit¬ ting as did the new champions In the second contest. Because ot all these Items the Giants seemed to have earned their glory. But, in addition they must be credited with the breaks. Wo.st of these came in yesterday's fourth game and centered around Umpire Charley Moran's celebrated sixth Inning ruling which, so Washington enthusiasts Insist, cost their club the game. The series finished with enough blazing thrills to last a fan halt a lifetime. Four Of Five Back of Hubbell's pitching the Giants captured the opening game, 4 to 2, with little ado, thanks to a home run by Mel Ott. The second game, which went to the Giants, 6 to 1, approached some tenseness during the early Innings, but later the New Yorkers scored six runs on eight hits: and the day's show was as good as over. IJal Schumacher was the hero of this game. The teams moved on to AVash- Ington and the series perked up. The Senators, back of the slants of Karl Whltehill, scored a 4 to 0 shut- tContiiiUed on i'age 12—bcc. 1> Norman McMillan ot New York «nd Jo»eph Barcy ot Detroit, paired In the finals for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Contract Bridge Championship, won over a field of fifteen other"JSatrs'lfils morning at Hotel Sterling after six hours of play.

The informatloB has been implied that tho conl company has entered Into a contract with the ITnlted Mine Workers of yVmerUa and any con¬ ference nffoctlnc mine workers must be held with the officers of that cirKanlzation. Officials of tho Delaware & lliulaon and Penn-An¬ thraclte companies have recently r:'fnsed to arbitrate with the new union. LEWIS IS VICTOR WITH FORCED USE OF THE CHECKOFF Striking Pennsylvania Miners To The Number Of 75 Thousand Will Resume Jobs Tomorrow As White House And Johnson Lay Doivn Law Under Terms Of Recovery Code FAIR TREATMENT GUARANTEED Pittsburgh, Oct. 7.—UP—The ma¬ jority ot the 75,000 striking miners ot Western Pennsylvania will be back to work Monday, it was in¬ dicated tonight as new,s trom Washington revealed probable set¬ tlement of tho "captive" mine Issue. Two of the largest mines ot Pitts¬ burgh Coal Company, the Wardeb and Montour, employing 2100 men, win be operating again Monday. United Mine Workers oflJlclals an¬ nounced. Earlier, union leadera said 10,000 Indiana county miners wuuld return to work Monday. Twenty thousand already havo returned to work this week and about 10.000 others In the Dubois and Greens- burg district decided to resume their jobs Monday. Meanwhile, the entire coal .itrlke district.

No disorder was reported in tho Am- bridge and Clairton, I'a., diatricts, or In Wclrton .and Clarksburg, VV. Va.. and .Steubenvllle. O.. where abcut 15,000 steel workers have been on strike. Presidents Warning Washington, Oct. 7.—Ul'—Preal¬ dent Uoosevelt today bluntly In¬ formed steel company executives that In operating coal mines they muat give their workers every ad¬ vantage enjoyed by miners In reg¬ ular commercial pita. Recovery Administrator Hugh Johnaon, who sat In with the President In the conferences with the ateel company heads, told newspapermen this means that the captive mines must yield to their employes' demands for Installation ot the check-oft sys¬ tem for collection ot union dues. The President made clear to the captive mine owners that they must enter Into collective bargaining with their employes on all points of dis¬ pute in the present strikes In the I'ennsylvanla coal fields. The cap¬ tive mines were directed to begin negotiiitions at once with John L. Lewis, president ot the United Mine Workers of America. If c illectlve bargaining falls to settle the disputes, the President himself will decide them and "will put into effect such government as¬ sistance as may be necessary to carry out the decision In fairness to owners and workers." Must Obey The White House statement said that the conl'eroes. Including Chair¬ man Myron C. Taylor of the United States Steel Corporation and Presi¬ dent Eugene Grace of the Retlilebom Steel Company, bad assured the President the.v would enter Into the negotiations "In good faith." The statement also said that the Presi¬ dent v.oulil communli'ate bis pro¬ posals formally to the c:ilitive mine owners before Monday. Johnson explained, however, that no reply from tliem was neces.sary. "The President is moving Into a field where he does not have to ask anybody's consent," Johnson said, "This statement of the Presi¬ dent sets forth what Is going to be done so far as it is In the govern¬ ment's power." Johnson expressed confidence that tho Presidents action would bring early end to the Pennsylvania strikes. The President aslccd that work be resumed pending the nego- tlations lietween Lewis and the captive mlno owners. Assail Radical Workera Johnson said Lewis previously had been doinf his best to get the Pennsylvania strikers back to work In accordance with previous Admin¬ istration pleas. The Administrator said "sonin roving bands dominated by local leaders" had proved to be beyond Lewis' control. With the President's statement to show them, Johnson believed I,ewis would be able to regain control ot these disaffected elements. He said the President's pledge to see to It that the captive mines operate un¬ der tlie same conditions as other mines would In many ways give the strikers more than they had asked. The text of the statement Issued by the White House after two lengthy conferences with the cap¬ tive mine owners said: "The President and the Admin¬ istrator ot National Recovery In a long conference witli the captive mine owners made clear certain fundamentals In regard to the oper¬ ating of captive mines. White House Statement "1. The captive mines come un¬ der the coal code already signed by the commercial mine owners, except as to provisions of said code relat¬ ing to the sale ot coal. "2. The workers in every captive mine can choose their own repre¬ sentatives for the purpose ot col¬ lectlvo bargaining. "3. Falling in agreement on any point after such collective bargain¬ ing, the President will pass on the questions Involved, and will In making decisions use the principle that captive mines must operate un¬ der conditions of work substantially the same in the broadest sense as those which obtain in the commer¬ cial mines, which represent 90 per¬ cent of coal production. "4. Tho President will ask th« mine ownera and workera to abid* by such decisions. "5. The President will put Into effect such government assistance as may be necessary to carry out the decisions In fairness to owners and workers. "6. On or before Monday the President will propose this formally to tlie captive mine owners.
