...unity, the convention sent Lundeberg a boatload of delegates bearing olive branches. At the hall where S. U. P. was holding its weekly meeting, they found the Norse giant himself, blocking the door. Fists clenched, he thundered at Revels Cayton, author of the unity proposal, denounced him as fink and traitor. Of the secessionists only the repentant firemen returned to the federation fold. This week Lundeberg announced worse news for the Maritime Federation: His sailors had now chosen A. F. of L. by a 2-1 vote, were ready to join A. F. of L.'s Maritime workers under...

By the end of August Cousin Jock was sufficiently concerned to him Gene Tunney's oldtime trainer, Lou Fink, to give his teammates some pre-championship conditioning. When the Open tournament got underway, Old Westbury rode through its opposition, toppled Winston Guest's hard-hitting Templeton team in the semifinals.
