here today, leading the Sacramento

Angels. Matthews broke into the
league in dazzling manner. In

to their feet with an amazing catch

The Chicago White Sox and the
Griffs get together again today In
the first of two games which will
end the appearance of the Chicago
club in the Capital this season.
On Monday George Sisler brings
his st. Louis Browns to Washington

ing booked for Monday.
I'VE are still in the race" Sisler
has told PHILADELPHIA baseball
writer's. That long stretch Of
games in September will help De.
troit and the Browns, while Wash.
tngton and New York, playing on
the road, will be at disadvantage"
Odds favOr the Brownies in
their coming four contests with
the Griffs. They have won ten
out Of fifteen games played with
Washington. The Griffs appear
to quit when facing the Browns.
The last time these teams faced
each other, the Brownies copied
five in a row. This came, too. after
the Griffmen had beaten the Detroit
Club three in row. Many alibis
were offered, but the fact remains
that st. Louis won five games in
row.
If the Griffs are to stay in this
race for the 1924 gonfalon, they
must pull themselves together
against the Browns. If they are
to make their fans believe in their
chances for the pennant, they must
do better than break even against
st. Louis, beginning next Monday.
The Browns close their series
here, next Wednesday. That night
the Griffmen go to New York
where they open a four-games
series on Thursday, a series ex.
pected to- be crucial in this hot
fight for the league honors.
Meanwhile two games are booked
with Chicago and four with st.
Louis. 1t. is up to the Griffs to
show their class lin these six games
In order to give their hackers any
hope for that greater series in
New York next week.
The Washington times., 1924-08-23

Another reason why up to now
don't know who will be on the
team Is because u committee of
sport writer's from each major
league city submits it's selections to
me before the final team IS picked
And say, talk about difference Of
opinion. Why. the arguments you
hear between fans mas nothing. on
the way some of these experts"
disagree on certain players and
positions.

are to the moon. TIE other day
I'm the Yankee stadium five OF
the experts" picked five diff.
ferent players for the same posi-.
ton.
So you see it's no easy job. And
the worst blow Of all comes the day
the final selection is announced and
certain "fayorite sons" are not in.
cluded--as Is bound to happen. That
reminds me of a certain fellow who
wrote me from Minneapolis, insist
ing. that I place my own name in
the outfield. He says it was unfair
and misleading to the fans to leave
my name off last year, and only due
to affected modesty. He demands
that l include my own name this
year, which am not going to do.
But remembered this fellows
name from another letter he wrote.
two years back. when he called me
o big bum" for including myself in
1922. So you see there's no use
trying to please folks. 1t can't be
done.
But do say this. many people
let the averages affect their opin.
ions too much. There are men In
both leagues deserving Of a place
on the all star team whose averages
are lower than many others. l have
IN mind one player in particular
His averages are low compared TO
other years, especially in batting,
and yet his all around work has
been a leading cause in keeping his

An interesting thing to be con.

ment each year. For example hero

II figure the Tigers will be

the zenith Of their strength the

II am intensely pleased at the

am not giving up the ghost in
this fight for a pennant but II
the team does not win the pennant
1 will be well satisfied IL we
finish near the top. We are going
to cause plenty of trouble for the
other teams before the season is
over and there are thirty-six games
yet to be played.
THE distance separating us from
the Yankees Is not so great that we
cannot cut it off completely by a
fair streak Of victories.

deavored to prevent frank and open
discussion of this issue. The con-
tention Of the Southerners was that
an unbridled discussion Of segrega-
ton on the floor of the Sanhedrin

if the conference should take too de-

As a consequence a soft pedal was

Optimistic For Future.
do not know what trend the next
meeting of the Sanhedrin will take.
l believe, however, that the outlook
is upward. It must be admitted that
at the conference just closed Chair
man Miller's hands were held and
directed by an invisible force of ire
mendous power-the sinister infiu-
ences of capitalistic interests deter
mined to maintain the inimical rela-
tions that have existed too long be-
tween the black and white prole-
tariat in all the sections Of the land.
But the ground has been broken.
A distinct desire to break away
from many of the older mornings has
been shown. Il was not a radical
outbreak by any means. Yet it was
clearly manifest that the old order of
thinking and the old character of
action is about to be laid aside by
what for the moment, can be named
the ''New Negro" Let there be no
fear for the future, the Negro is
now in the fight for Human Progress
and will not turn back.

work of procuring Equal Rights"
for the Negro; 'The Woman's Part
in the Race Problem" discussed by
the women delegates; "The Part Of
the Young College-Bred Negro in
Race Betterment," a discussion in
which the college men and women
showed off to rather good advantage;
"The Place of Business in Race Bet
terment," discussed by several sue
cessful business men and women.
Labor as a question Of first rate inn
portance has no place in this rather
elaborate program. As l see it, it
was a "Social Welfare" program de-
signed to strengthen the already
strong hold which the nations Cham
bers Of Commerce have on the eco
nomic strings Of the American
Negroes life.
Leaders in Panic at Labor.
l get my clue in this connection
from what saw of actual panic
whenever there came a slip in the
workings of the prepared program.
CONSERVATION reigned during the I'M
forseen fight led by Comrade Fort
Whiteman for a place on the pro-
gram for an unbiased discussion of
the Labor problem as it affected the
life Of the Negro in this country. At
one part of this discussion Leader
Miller himself had to plNge the
Workers Party delegation that La
Dor would be given a place in the
official document that was being pre-
pared by the several commissions as
the statement of the Sanhedrin's
position on all public questions af-
fecting the life of the race. This
was done by what was called the
Findings Commission" with the re-
suit that the Labor question got
some consideration and position in
the document given out as the gen.
eral program of the Sanhedrin.
There were two odd slants given
to the question of segregation at the
conference. The northern elements
wanted unqualified condemnation Of
the offenses committed in its name.
The Southern elements, however, en-
