SHELTON, WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 12, 1941.
Competitive Athletics
Make Better Fighters,
: Tubby Graves (lives Splendid Talk
At Banquet Honoring Prep
Baseball Champions
Last Evening
If competitive athletics don’t
‘ make better fighting men but of
Uncle Sam‘s draftees and volun-
teers in all branches of the serv-
ice then the athletic programs of
our school system are valueless,
in the opinion of Tubby Graves,
University of Washington base-
ball coach, who spoke to a near-
capacity crowd which turned out
last night to honor Shelton's
thrce‘time championship high
school baseball team at a ban-
quet at the Shelton Hotel.
“Competitive athletics are the-
best trainers I know of to teach
one to take a rap and come back
battling,” the Husky diamond
mentor told his audience. “Your
Homer Taylor, has
just mentioned how you boys of
the high school baseball team
generally spotted the other team
a couple _of runs but you came
from behind to win. That’s what
competitiVe athletics teaches, and
it is that ability to take'a rap
and come back that is going to
be one of the best assets you have
in life, whether you are in the
service or just making a living
Jokes, Experiences Abound .
Typical of any Tubby Graves
talk, the “sermon” section of it
was only a minor part, the rest
being taken up with samples from
his endless repertoire of jokes and
personal experiences during a
long and varied baseball career.
Most of his examples from ex-
perience were tied around teams
of his which didn’t like to lose,
refused to be beaten until the
final out. He called his 1941 Hus-
ky team one of these. “On ability
we should have finished sixth in
a five-team league,” he said. “We
‘had a team batting average of
.224, yet I’ll have to put this
1941 team down as one of the best
I’ve ever coached because it
'never quit trying and it won a
lot of games it had no business
winning just for that reason.”
The Washington coach com-
mgnted on the pleaSing lack of
emphasis on What he termed the'
very much overworked and mis-
used word “sportsmanship.”
Wrong Interpretation
“So often ‘good sportsmanship’
is a term referred to one who
can lose without regret, who
doesn't seem to mind losing any
more than he does winning. That‘s
not sportsmanship to my opinion.
When you participate in compe-
titive athletics you're out to winl
and nothing less. I have a repu-
tation for being a good sportsman,
but I’m the poorest sport in the
.world if you think I can take a
licking as easily as I can a. vic-
tory.” .
Before Mr. Graves’ talk Coach
Homer Taylor introduced the in-
dividual members of his champ-
ionship team, commenting briefly
on each member of the squad as
he introduced them, and following
the main speaker Dick Eddy pre-
sented each player with a hand-
ber President Ed Faubert acted
as toastmaster for" the program.
Cups were presented to the fol-
lowing members of the team:
Seniors Ken Latham, catcher;
Ralph LeDrew, pitcher; Jim Mc-
Comb, second base; and Lynn
Crossman, outfielder; Juniors E1-
mer Carlson, pitcher; Earl Lums-
. den, first base; Ken Fredson, out-
fielder; Warren Woods, shortstop;
Bob Pearce, third base; Bob Wald-
burger, outfielder; Sophomores
Jess Phillips, pitcher; Walt John-
son and Bob S. Cole, outfielders;
,and Harold Lambert, manager.
’ Unable to be at the banquet
were Pitcher Bob Puhn, Outfield~
ers Ted VanOverbeke, Jack Page

and Bob Thompson, Catcher Jake

COUNTY REVISE
PIN BALL RULES,
SEEKS MORE FEES
Supervision, Policing Costs Cited
As Reason; $1000 And $750,
Operator Fees Set
Once again revising county
regulations governing the opera-
tion of pin-ball games, the coun-
ty commissioners passed a reso-
lution at their weekly meeting
rescinding all previous . pin-ball
machine actions and sctya new.
scale of fees for operators to be-
come effective July 1.
Under the "new regulations an
operator will have to pay an an-
nual fee of $1000 to operate tpin-
ball machines in the county i he
has the field exclusively, if there
are more than one operator of
the machines operating them in,
Mason County each individual
operator» will be assessed $750 for
a fee for that privilege.
Provision was made in Ithe
new resolution for crediting op-
erators whose present licenses do
not expire until September 1 With
the balance remaining to apply
on new licenses under‘ the new
regulations. No shorter period
than one year will be licensed
under the new resolution. Viola-
tion of the new regulations are
to subject operators to fines from
$10 to $300 and/or jailterms up
to a maximum of 90 days, plus
some individual cup on behalf of‘ confiscation 0f their maChin654
the Chamber of Commerce. Cham— l
The resolution was justified by
the board 'by the statement that
the number of machines now op-
erating in the county has caused
a problem in supervision and po-
‘licing, thus incurring greater ex-
pense to the county. ‘
Three dates for public hearings
were set as the main remaining
business of the board this week.
A petition submitted by .W. L.
Richardson et al asking the form-
ation of a herd district in Kam-
ilche, along Skookum Bay, Was
received and filed and the pub-
lic hearing set for June 30 at two
o’clock.
Hearing on the proposed addi-
tion to the Masonic Division of
‘Shelton Memorial Park, submit-
ted by A. L. Bell, was set for
June 23 at ten o’clock, and ‘the
hearing on the proposed plat of
Pleasant Cove Beach Tracts was
delayed from this Monday to June

Three hours after the Marines
at naval stations along our east-

flag, their comrades at other
posts along the west coast salute
the colors as they are hauled
briskly to the top of the flagstaff.
About two and a half hours

virtually the same. hours, the

Several hours later the west-

has passed its zenith in the Old

1 Olympia, Wash, June 12.——The
32 big tank trucks which went
into service yesterday from State
Forestry Division headquarters
here are the direct result of last
year‘s forest fire record in the
i State of Washington. It happen—
; ed this way:
When he totaled up the number
of fires and their causes last fall,
T. S. Goodyear, 'State Forester,
noted that 742 of the 2000 forest
fires in 1940 were caused along
the highways and roads by flip-
pers of cigarets and other burn-
ing material. “It was evident,”
Goodyear said, “that if the peo‘
ple of this State can’t learn what

to reduce the annual destruction wrought on young

ash-trays are for, the State Div-
ision of Forestry will have to de-
vise some quick method to. put
out fires thus started.”
Goodyear hopes the new tank
trucks, which can go almost any-
where and very quickly, will be
the answer. Each has a SOC-gal-
lon water tank, one thousand feet
of hose, and the latest type of au—
tomatic pump. Each truck, in
action, will carry a crew of three
men, including the driver. The
new units will be distributed in

Lora] 38 Membership Backs Pro-
gram Outlined At Olympia;
Renewal 0f Negotia-
tions Favored
Unanimous support of the pro-
gram outlined at the Olympia
I conference of Twin District Coun-
cil I.W.A. delegates last Monday
was voted by Local 38 member-
ship in a special meeting held at
the Labor Temple here yesterday,
Charles Savage, Local 38 business
agent, reported today.
‘ Along with support of the Olym-
l pia conference program the Local
38 membership passed a motion
[urging an immediate resumption
of negotiations between the ne-
,gotiating committees represent-
ing the Twin District Council and
‘the operators, and expressed in-
dignation that the National De-
fense Mediation Board had not
changed it’s stand on it’s recom-
mendations a bit in over three
weeks, savage added.
In voting to support the Olym-
,..pia conference program, Local 38
members voted in effect to once
more reject the National Defense
Mediation Board’s recommenda-
tions that the striking men re-
turn to work, accepting a 7%0
an hour pay raise while further
' negotiations are made over three
*other points of contention: (1)
union shop, (2) elimination of
piece Work, and (3) a week's va-
cation with pay each year.
Conference Points
The Olympia conference pro-
gram included these points: (1)
sending a telegram to Phillip Mur-
,ray, C.I.O. president, informing
him that the conference fully sup-
ports the stand of the committee
sent to Washington and asking
his support of the strikers; (2),
that every local union send dele-l
gations to persuade the rank and‘
Efile of the Columbia River dis-,
‘trict to reject the mediation‘
, board’s proposals; (3) that picket
l lines be placed around every saw-
,mill and logging operation and
‘strengthen present picket lines;
(4) that the conference demand
immediate negotiations with thr
!
employers’ committee. . L .- . .
Agent Savage air ‘ '
Business
plained, in a statement designed
to clear up public misunderstand-
ings over the points on 'which
the strike is based, that the wage
raise which the Mediation Board
asks the loggers to accept is
prior to the existence of a con-
tract between the Twin District
Council and the operators, and
thus in effect would be no raisa
at all, and because surrounding
districts have already been grant-
ed all things for which the Twin
District Council strike has been
called.
Union Shop Outlined
Savage explained the “union
shop" point which is one of the
four bones of contention in the
dispute, with the statement that
“union shop means every man go-
ing to work in the woods is re-'
quired to join the union within
15 days and men who do not be-
long to the union must also join.
All men must remain in gobd
standing and the company
to release any man from. em-j
ployment if he drops from
standing. Also, the company'gis
hiring, to union men.” :
Savage said reports that certain
locals, namely Local 30 at' Rs. -
mond and Local 36 at Longvie ‘-
Kelso, had voted in opposition to
the action of the TWin District
Council as a whole are misleading
in that Local 30 had never been
on strike inasmuch as it had pre-
viously negotiated a separate eon-
tract with operators in its juris-
diction and that Local 36 is af-
filiated with the Columbia River
District Council and not the Twin
District Council.
“We also wish to clear up one
other point on which confusion is
apparent,” Savage continued, “and
that is that this is a strike by
the I.W.A. Twin District Council
against the West Coast Lumber-
men’s Ass’n, in other words, a
strike of the workers' union
against the companies’ union, but
'not a strike by any individual 10-
cal against any individual com-
DaUY-" .
Getting from the local angle to
the strike, news dispatches from
other parts of the state report a
break loOms in th estrike situa-
tion, pointing to the result of
voting by Local 90, at Port An-
geles, where members voted
against continuing the strike, and
that o. M. Orton, I.W.A. prelii-~
dent, hadqbecn called back
lWashington by C.I.O. Chief Phil-
lip Murray. . '
Another headline in meta-(po—
litan papers said that the gov-
ernment had issued orders that
striking loggers will lose any
right to draft deferment they
may have by remaining off their
jobs, although this order will have
little effect here, the Mason Coun-
ty draft board said today, be-
cause there have been very
occupational deferments granted
in this locality.
