ABRAMS* When you are appointed as a neutral to decide over one thousand labor arbitration cases over a three-decade career, you tend to forget the facts of the individual disputes. How many different employees have lost their jobs for a variety of imaginative misdeeds? What did management do wrong this time that justified finding a violation of its contract with the union? How many Holiday Inn conference rooms have provided the settings for these hearings? Arbitration is a simple system of alternative dispute resolution that works,1 but it is too much to ask any neutral to recall too many of the details. There are exceptions to this rule of transient memory. A few cases stand out: the employee who struck his supervisor with a machete, 2 the nurse who 3 inadvertently allowed her patient (Mr.

It is presently at 796.347, putting it under racquette sports (796.34), but he thinks it is a sport with clubs, mallets, bats etc. (796.35) and also it is a team sport rather than individual. Should it be relocated? Here is Michel's explanation: 796.347 Crosse (Sport) Sous 796.34 Jeux avec raquette, ça n'a pas tellement de sens (les autres sports de 796.34 sont: tennis, squash, badminton, ping-pong). La crosse est un sport 1 d'équipe qui se pratique avec un bâton muni d'un panier pour emprisonner une balle qu'on cherche à faire entrer dans le but adverse, donc beaucoup plus apparenté au hockey, polo, etc. Il devrait être sous 796.35 Jeux avec club, maillet, bâton (batte) The primary question is whether or not lacrosse is a racket game.

Pelota is the general name given to a number of ball games that are played against a wall with bare hands, bats, rackets or baskets, perhaps most familiar to many people because of the jai alai variant of the game that features in the opening titles of the 1980s TV series Miami Vice. Basque pelota, which is popular in parts of Spain and France, spread across Spain’s former empire and is still played in countries including Cuba, Argentina, the Philippines and the US, but federations also exist in Sweden, India and the Netherlands. Th e pelota played at the Frontón Beti-Jai was joko garbi (meaning “clean game” in Basque), the forerunner of the modern game cesta punta, also known as jai alai (happy festival).

Under an 80-foot-square tent, a sailplane soars above lighted vitrines that display baseball masks and hockey gloves. A hydroplane shows its potential for speed in every curve. These and others are part of the first museum exhibition of contem porary objects ever drawn from the world of sport. ForThe Museum of Modern Art, a Design for Sport show is not the artistic reach that it might seem. Since the museum opened in 1929, one of its major roles has been to recognize excellence of design found in man's contemporary artifacts. It has pre sented a Machine Art show (1934), a series of Useful Objects shows, two automobile shows (1951 and 1953), an American textiles show (1956) and a pack aging show (1959).These, with its own design collec tion, have established the museum as America's most respected arbiter of 20th century design.
