More than 600 labormen filed into Denver's cavernous municipal auditorium one morning last week and settled back for the 1937 convention of the American Federation of Labor. It was A.

At the National Archery Association's 57th annual target meeting in Lancaster, Pa. last week, major object of attention was not pretty Jean A. Tenney of Clear Spring, Md., who won the women's championship on the meet's third day, but the 106-man shooting line for the 1937 men's championship...
