SILVER CITY FIVE
 ID PLAY BURRITTS
Court Rivals to Met in Prtimi- nary Contest Slturdly Night

Two of the leading semi-pr0 teams in tho state will come to grips Saturday evening when the Burritts and Meriden Community Ayes clash at the Stanley Arena. Both teams are undefsated up to date and both are given an even chance of win- ming the state title. The Burritts captured the semi-pro champion ship in the season of 1s2S-2s while the Meriden aggregation won the title in the past season of 1s26-27. With both teams undefeated and with both fighting for the state title, Saturdays game should prove to be 8 bitter battle.
 So far the Communities have won five games. all of them by one-sided scores. They have in their lineup such stars as Kocin. Bray. Koski' Clark. Shulga. Ragler. J. Theisen and E. Theisen. The Theison brothers have appeared in this city in games against the High school and are we'll known to basketball followers. The Meriden quintet scored . e0-15 win over the St. Mary's five of Portland which the Burritts defeated by . @ to 20 score. However, the local team used four different combinations in its game with the Portland crew and had no trouble in scoring.
 The Burritts kept in tho cham pionship race last week by downing the highly touted Simsbury team twice by. one-sided scores. The simsbury team was considered the best crew in the Pennington Valley league and captured the league title last year.
 Manager Ken Saunders and Cap tain Arbour will start their strong est lineup in an attempt to take Sat- urday's battle. Yakubowicz and Havlick will start as forwards, Saunders will jump center. and Ar bour and Darrow will take care of the guard positions. Luty. Jasper and Luke will be ready to start the game if called upon. The tame will start at o'clock sharp and will he followed by the New Britain Colle- gian game.

Josephine Baker Wins
Fortune at Monte Carlo

MONACO. - Josephine Baker,
famed brownskinned American
dancer, gave the bank of Monte
Carlo few bad minutes last week
when luck stayed with her long
enough to win a huge stack of 1000
franc notes.
Onlookers' eyes bulged as she put
the bundle in the flimsy bosom of
her evening gown and whirled out
on the dance floor in the arms of
Earl Leslie, white.
The couple danced and from un-
der Miss Bakers skirt 1000 franc
notes fluttered like falling leaves.
The casino management, at its
wits ends, detained two attendants
to collect the bank notes one by one
as they fell and return them to Miss
Baker after her celebration was
over.
The franc is worth cents to-
day and the 1000 franc notes $40.

Are Reindicted

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 21.-U. S.
Judge Edwin r. Holmes late Tues
day overruled motions to quash in
dictments against Perry Howard.
Mr.. Howard with three others
and three white men is accused Of
selling public offices while acting
as national Republican committee
man. Pending trial he was suspend
ed from office as assistant to the
U. S. Attorney General.
Instead of quashing charges the
grand Jury returned additional in
dictments on similar charges against
Mr.. Howard and Edward L. Patton.
s. ID. Redmond and s. r. Red
mond, brothers, were the other col
ored men, indicted. Whites were /:
u. s. Marshal J. G.. Buehanon,
George c. Mcclellan and Charles
Isaacs.
Buchanon served the indictment
upon himself.
Voiding Of the indictments was
sought on the faulty and too general
in terms and that an alleged con
spiracy was started against them be-
fore enactment Of the federal law
prohibiting traffic in public office
dispensation.

state Republican executive commit
tee of the Howard wing of the par
ty and also the author of the anti

cutor from Washington, handled the

Urban League Reports Race Gained
In Employment During October

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.--The In
dustrial Relations Department of the
National Urban League of which
Arnold Hill is director, has issued
the following bulletin on employ
ment for October:
While there was no decided ad-
vance in employment during October
because of the slowing up in con-
struction and outdoor work due to
approaching cold weather, Negroes
gained new occupations in several
sections Of the country. The Street
Railway Company of Buffalo en-
ployed colored workers for the first
time in construction and mainten-
ance of way. The new workers are
employed as watchers, welders and
laborers. A metal products company
in Canton has consented to assign
one Negro man each week as an ap-
prentice in skilled work; and in Kan
sas City another oil station is manned
by Negro personnel.
Showing signs of general unem-
ployment prevalent among all groups.
It is significant that Los Angeles
presents definite evidence of racial
progress. A Negro salesman en-
tered the employment of a shoe com
pany for the first time, and 500
''es5ras" for a picture entitled -Four
Feathers" increased the number Of
Negroes now used in the motion pic
utre industry. Another 500 or mora
were assembled to go to Arizona in
the making of another film.
AT the same time it Is reported
that "the general employment situa-
ton of the city is precarious. Ne.

NEW YORK--(By Lester A. Wal
toni. "Gentlemen, this win be
the last time that Greene will help
you on with your overcoats."
The, foregoing statement was made
by Albert H. Harris, Chairman of the
Executive Committee Of the Board
of Directors Of the New York Gem
tral Railroad, to George F. Baker
and Jackson Reynolds Of the First
National Bank.
Mr.. Harris told the noted finan-
ciers that Charles ]. Greene, who for
ten years had faithfully and eff
cientiy served him-first as attendant
and then as clcrk--wns soon to be-
come a member of the bar and was
being transferred to the company's
legal department.
Greene said it was happy mo-
ment for him long to be remembered
when the two bank officials extend
ed congratulations wishing him fut-
ure success.
Charles J. Greene has not been ad-
mitted to practice. His record OF
achievement to date to evoke enco-
miums is not as a lawyer but as q
struggling young Negro who for five
years worked IN the day to support
his wife, daughh,r and mother and
went to school at night.
His experience parallels that en-
countered by nine out Of ten Ne.
eroes who today ultimately reach The
coveted goal after consistently
bucking adversely.
"Charlie" Green, as he is known
