Will number thirteen be lucky or
unlucky for the st. Louis Browns
this season?
That's the question that faces the
M%issourians as they go through their
early season battles.
Just when st. Louis fans had il
figured that the club had gotten rid
Of all its "undesirables" in the gem
eral housekeeping, which sent IL
good players to other clubs in the
American league-Dan Howley an
nounced the trade of Walter Gerber
to the Boston Red Sox.
Manager Howley gets Pitcher
Harold Wiltse in place Of Gerber,
who follows such capable fellows as
George Sisler. Harry Rice, Bing Mil
Ter. Elan Van Glider. Chester Falk,
Milton CASTOR, Tom Zachary, Ernest
Wingard, Leo Dixon, Otis Miller, Ken
Williams and Sam Jones into exile
from the Browns.
Next TO Sisler, Gerber had seen the
most service under the banners that
blow over St. Louis. That makes him
the second oldest veteran involved in
the shakeup. Brown fans had come
to look upon him a a fixture at
short stop.
Gerber began his baseball career
with the Marion club of the Ohio
State league in 1910. The same year
he went to Columbus in the American
association.
Walter played with Akron Of the
Ohio and Pennsylvania league until
1911 when he went back to Column
bus where he stayed until 1914, when
he was taken on by Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh sen the short stop back
TO Columbus in 1916. He came back
TO the big leagues when the Browns
took a chance on him in 1917. 1t
wasn't much Of a chance. however, for
he played short for the st. Louis club
a solid decade thereafter.
Despite his long service in base
ball-1s years-Gerber is still a good
player and should bring strength to
his new club, the Red Sox.

The mad dash Of the Chicago Cubs

good advantage. scoring the winning
U in the ninth on Aliens sharp
drive past third base.
The New York Giants and st. Louis
Cardinals divided a double header at
Sportsmen's park. Fifteen hits in the
first game gave the Giants a 5 to 3
verdict but the Cards evened il by
taking the ninghtcap, 2 TO /, in a
tight pitchers battle between Vic
Aldridge, making his first start Of
the year. and Johnson of the Cards.
Del Bissonette's terrific hitting
aided the Robins to coast into a ia
victory over the Phillies at Brooklyn.
Bissonette scored a run in the second
inning after drawing a pass; hit a
home run with two on in the third,
and tripled with two on in the sew
enth. All told he scored three times

not only to black men but to
white men whose opinions and
views run counter to the mar
row and benighted sentiment
of that section on the race and
other questions. 1t is not so
long ago, if our memory serves
us truly, that it was in Ala
bama, Senator Heflin's own
state, from which distinguish
ed resident of Illinois in the
person of Clarence Darrow had
to withdraw, lest he suffer per-
sonal violence, because he ex-
ercised "the right of free
speech"
We do hope the day will
come when there will not be a
foot of American soil where the
people will be denied the right
of free speech. But Senator
Heflin knows that today there
are hundreds of miles in his
own section where this is I'M
true. We do not believe he
will be denied the right of free
speech by the Roman Catholics
of Albany or elsewhere, and
we hope that he may be con-
verted to use his influence,
whether it be little or much, in
granting this right to black and
white alike in his own section.
We hope he may become more

Senator Helm is very, very

1t is not very long ago that

fall his beloved South should it
obey the Constitution of the
United States in permitting the
Negro to exercise the fran
chise. Himself the beneficiary
or fragrant notification he had
the effrontery to berate Cover
nor Smith of New York as "a
Constitutional nullifier."
Now, our friend Tommy, &C
cording to press dispatches,
having heard that "there
would be an effort on the part
Of Governor Smiths Roman
Catholic friends" to interfere
with the fiery senator's speech
scheduled for delivery at an
early date in Albany unbur-
dens his perturbed bosom in a
statement which does credit to
his heart even though it be in
consistent with other remarks
made by the learned solon and
does despite to the sentiments
and actions of the section from
which he halls. He is quoted
as saying:
II trust that the rumor is un-
founded. There ought not to
be-there must not be-there

a foot of American soil where
the people are denied the right
of free speech and peaceful as

Bravo, senator, noble senti-
