Mil. % Stephen Bobchek, Manager of Junior Branch 401, will be manager of this baseball team. He himself being an experienced player, will, no doubt, succeed in giving enough of his knowledge of the game to the new players, making for a successful season. The opponents for their next game will be the team of our Scranton Branch, No. 174. We hope that not only the Verhovav members but also the Hungarians in that district will encourage this new team. The team’s members are as follows: Julius Balassa, John Bernay, Jr., Theodore Bernay, Albert Horvath, Joseph Kassay, Tr., John Kozar, Charles Nozdrovecky, Joseph Nozdrovecky, William Kőbőr, Alexander Kobor, Stephen Kobor, Peter Kobor, Ak betr Szuch and Edward Kiss, with, of course, Stephen Bobcheek as Manager. BASEBALL TEAM ORGANIZED IN GARY, INDIANA BRANCH 138 The baseball team organized in the Senior Order, Branch 138 of Gary, Ind. held its introductory game on May 23rd, at Froebel School playground. The game was played against S. E. I. L. with a score of Verhovay—12 and S. E. I. L. —6. The team has played six games already and has lost but two of the six. In their first game, the team beat the Gary champion team of 1936. The small Verhovay team met an opposing team more than two years their seniors and still the boys stood their ground, to the vociferously expresed satisfaction of the membership, as well as other spectators, also. The greatest satisfaction of all, over the outcome of the game, is that of L. Bell, Manager of the team. During the current, year the Senior Branch is supplying the team with all necsssities. Charles Kardos Secretary HUNGARIAN VICTORY IN SWITZERLAND Ever since its 4:3 victory (at Berne) . in 1929 the representative Hungarian team has been unable to win against the Swiss; moreover, it suffered a disastrous defeat (6:2) at Zürich not very long ago. Switzerland has achieved very remarkable results of recent years; and, although the Swiss team was beaten three times in the international meetings (Milan, 4:2 Zürich, againts Austria, 3:1; and Prague, 5:3)', yet in all these matches it proved to be a very strong and respectable opponent; in fact, it was stated at Prague that the Swiss team was much better. In these circumstances the sportsmen of Hungary did not expect very great things of the match at Bale, before which the Swiss team had had a hard trial at Amsterdam ending in the victory of the Dutch team (2:1). The encounter of the Hungarian and Swiss team took place on April 11th and resulted in a serious defeat for the Swiss (5:1). Thus the positions of the competitors in the international Cup Finals are as follows: 1.Czecho-Slovakia 3 21 0 11 :6 5 2.Hnngarv 3 2'0 1 12:9 4 3.Austria 3 11 1 7 :73 Italy 1 10 0 4:2 2 5.Switzerland 4 00 4 7:17 0 The unfinished match between Austria and Italy played in Vienna (2:0 for Austria) is not included in this list. The next cup match will be played in Turin on April 25th, between Italy and Hun gary. CHAUVINISM IN RUMANIAN SPORTS. Another striking example of unsportsmanlike chauvinistic prejudice has been offered by the Rumanian Press which is always ready to make its hatred felt even in the field of sports. In connection with the Czecho-Rtr manian match the Rumanian Press attacked the Captain of the Association for letting too many Hungarians play in the Rumanian team; this criticism is not only highly unjust, but it is also in defiance of a resolution recently passed by the Association. It must be remembered that the repres entative Rumanian team contained not less than seven Hungarian players from Transylvania. The Bucharest papers incited the public not to visit these matches under such conditions, as a mark of protest .againts the policy of the Association. This unprecedented encouragement of a boycott has caused great embarrassment in the whole sporting world. AVIATION Ladislaus Almassy, the wellknown Hungarian traveller and aviator, chairman of the Egyptian Gliders’ Association, is reported to have performed a successful gliding flight over the Pyramids in Egypt. He set off from the aerodrome of Ah maza, near Cairo, his glider driven by a British aeroplane piloted by Lieut. Mole of the R. A. F. Having reached the Nile the glider was detached from the aeroplane and, flying over the Pyramids, reached the ground again not far from them. This achievement is particularly remarkable seeing that no glider has ever yet succeeded in flying over the Pyramids after having flown across the Nile in an easterly direction. With this extraordinary performance M. Ladislaus Ah mássy won a cup offered by the “A1 Ahram”, a Cairo daily. BOXING On April 3rd the boxingchampions of Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia met for a great fight in the presence of a large crowd of spectators. The Czecho-Sitwak team was severely beaten, by 5 :2; of the two victories only one was an actual victory, the other being the result of a series of mistakes made by the referee. FENCING On April 9th the Hungarian Fencing Association arranged a grand tournament between the best fencers of Italy and Hungary respectively in memory of the great Hungarian Olympic'champion, the late Col. Terstyánszky. — The tournament ended with the victory of the Hungarian team. 19:17. The number of cuts was: Hungary: Italy, 130:- 143. — The result obtained by the Hungarian jfencers were as follows : Rajczy, Kabos', and Gerei 4 wins each. Of the Italian fencers Signor Marzi won 6 matches, Signor Gaudini, Mastiotta, and Montano 3 each. Signor Pinton 2 matches. Signor Tanzini lost all his matches.

The three year wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Young. It was great to see Member Frank Molnár and his wife at the last meeting of the Branch. They add plenty of fun to our meetings. John Rostás invites members to see him at his Barker, N. Y., farm when any of the members are in that vicini tw_______________ When is that ’Tonawanda member going to hire the Wooley Bus for another good will tour? Almost a year now, eh Charley? What two members started the Summer season by getting even- the soles of their feet sun-burned? Ha! Ha! That Branch 74 is beginning to “toot.” And here is hoping that Rose Gabel will be rewarded for her splendid efforts. That Joseph Taylor is training for the fat men’s race. Charles Young Branch 383 AMERICAN STEEL WORKERS TOIL LESS FOR FOOD THEN FOREIGN WORKERS To earn enough to fill a market basket with food, American steel employees work only a fraction as long as steel workers in other countries according to calculations by the American Iron and Steel Institute. A dozen eggs, a pound of bacon, a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk, and other items, can be bought by American steel workers with the money earned for only 1 Vi hours of work. Steel workers in various representative foreign steel-producing nations would have to work much longer to buy the same quantity and kinds of foods at the level of wages and food prices in those coutries, according toi data published by the International Labour Office. In England the time required would be 3V& hours, in Germany 7 hours, and in Belgium 14 hours. Higher wages paid to employees of the American steel industry, which Vast year were 140 per cent above the average hourly earnings of foreign steel workers, more than compensate for any differences between domestic and foreign prices for various foods. American industrial workers, the, refore, can spend a smaller proportion of their total earnings for food than foreign workers, and yet enjoy a wider variety of foods. One pound of bacon and a dozen eggs can be bought by steel workers in Pittsburgh for the money they earn for only 36 minutes work, while Belgian steel workers would have to work 6 Vi hours to by the same things. Steel workers in Germany would have’ to work 3% hours, and the English two hours, the calculations show. For the money equiva’ent of only 14 minutes of work, the A- merican steel worker can buy a pound of bread and -a quart of milk, while in Belgium nearly an hour of work would be needed, in Germany 35 minutes, and in England a little less than a halfhour. A pound of beef can be bought by steel employees in this country for the money darned by .12 minutes work which compares with 20 minutes of work by English steel workers, 39 minutes in Germany and nearly two hours in Belgium. To earn enough to buy a pound of potatoes, the Belgian steel worker works for seven minutes and the German and English workers for three minutes. In this country steel employees need only to work two minutes to earn the price of a pound of potatoes. A pound of butter in Belgium costs the equivalent of four hours of work, in Germany nearly two hours, in England almost an hour, and in this country only 26 minutes. To earn a pound of sugar the German steel worker must work half an hour, the Belgian almost: three-quarters of an hour, and the British eight minutes. American steel workers, however, can buy a pound of sugar for less than four minutes of work.
