RIOTS mi

Apparently one of the causes for
the race war in East st. Louis is the
large influx of negro laborers from
the South, laborers attracted by the
high wages paid in industries of the
North. The same migration of ne
gro lebor is to be observed in most
of the northern states.
The Negroes exodus from the South
is an indication of wrong conditions
there. The southern Negroes live as
tenants upon the soil owned by land
lords who do not till it. We have
not developed, in this country, the
financial mechanism for allowing
tenant farmers to become proprie-
tors by buying, on the installment
plan, the land which they work. Per-
haps the terrible experiences in East
St. Louis will help direct the atten-
ton of the country to one of the I'M
%derlying diseases of u agricultural

ers at top speed these last few days
and the class is beginning to show.
Warner and Pickup are still having
close run for the job in right field.
ONell intends to carry them both to
Syracuse where game or two in
fast company will probably help him
decide which one Will be awarded the
regular position.
Keating is still on the hospital list
with an injured knee, although he in
dulged in light practice yesterday.
The rest of the Star regulars are in
excellent condition and are eagerly
waiting for the starting gun.

sUsTATNs MORAN PROTEsT

President Tener, of the National
League, has allowed the protest of
the Phillies against Umpire Brans-
fields decision in the Boston game,
which the Braves won, to 5, and
ordered the game played over. This
reduces the Phillies' list of defeats
by one game and takes one victory
away from the Braves. The game
will be played over as part of a
double-header on the Phillies' next
visit to Boston,
The disputed game occurred at
Boston on April II. In an early in
ming the Phillies made five runs, but
during the rally Lavender was called
out by Umpire Bransiield for run
ming out of line. lavender, thinking
he had been forced at second base,
cut across the diamond to return to
the bench. He finally needed the
yells of the coachers and reached
third base, as Second Baseman Mas
sey had thrown the ball over the
head of First Baseman Konetchy.
The Braves finally won the game
by 6 to 5. Manager Moran protest
ed the game on the ground that Law
ender should not have been called
out, as he was not trying to avoid
a fielder when he was declared out.
