SIGNED IN PROTEST AT JIM
CROW 80 -.

New York, Dec. 13.-Congratula-
tions and praise have been telegraph
ed by the National Association Tor
the Advancement of Colored People
to Rev. Adelbert j. Helm, of De-
troit, who resigned as pastor of the
Bethel Evangelical Church, and Or
vile Drummer, who resigned as Di-
rector of Education, in protest
against the barring of Negroes from
church membership.
The telegram sent Rev. Mr.. Helm,
by Walter White, acting secretary of
the N. A. A. c.. P, reads as follow:
81 have just read your letter Of
resignation as pastor of the Bethel
Evangelical Church in protest
against the exclusion from member
ship of two Negroes. 1t is impossi-
BILE for me adequately to express my
admiration for your courageous
deed. Few men, in the Christian
church, placed in your position,
would have dared place ideals, prin-
ciples and high ethical standards
above expediency. 1t is the church,
whose Christianity cannot surmo cunt
the color line, who will be the loser.
You have proved that you believe
the Christianity which you preach,
which sadly is true of but few in the
Christian church. May your act
serve as example and inspiration to
others that they, too, may have the
courage to combat vicious race pre-

COLLEGE TENNIS
 TEAMS ID BATTLE
Yale-HarYard Crew to Meet
 Oxlord-Cambridge Combine

South Orange, N. J., July 15 P}- Harvard and Yale tennis players ap- parently are going to have their hands full when the tackle a com bined team from Oxford and Cam bridge Universities at Newport, R. l., Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
 The invading team from England flashed unexpected strength in over whelming Princeton and Williams, in a two-day match winch ended here yesterday, by score of l6 matches to five. In their only previous ap- peararce in team play in this coun- try, the Oxford Cambridge players swamped the Rockaway Hunting club team at Cedarhurst, N. Y., II to 1.
 In the busy days of tennis here, two stars stood out above the rest of the British team. One. strangely enough, is an American, F. o. Ma ther The other is a South African, N. G. i'arquharson. Both are tall and tow-headed and they look enough alike 10 be brothers.
 The opposition encountered on the courts of the Orange Lawn Tennis club here, where the Princeton Will Hams team was played, proved easy for these lanky wizards and each was victorious five times, twice in singles and three times in doubles. being the only players on either team not to engage in a single losing match.
 Besides cutting a wide swath i1 the singles, the long -striding Texan, Mather proved most effective in doubles along with his French part ncr, Paul De Ricou, classnate at Oxford. With the American Rhodes scholar guarding the back court and De RiCou gracefully taking care of everything within reach at the net, these two sliced their way through all opposition in straight sets.
 Farquharson of Cambridge and H. G. N. Cooper of Oxford also proved an effective combination although which they came from England only the day before play began.
 On the basis of their showings here, Farquharson and Mather, will head the Oxford Cambridge lineup in singles for the biennial match with Harvard and Yale while Mather De Ricou and Farquharson-Cooper will top the double pairs.
 Russel Young of Cambridge, a red-headed New Zealander who cap tains the invading forces, also won both of his singles matches and stands out as leading threat His style is a bold, free-swinging game while Mathcr is chop stroke artist and Farquharson an effective back court performer with fine change of pace and the ability to wallop a | high rising ball for an almost sure | placement drive.
 , Ken Appel, Don Strachan and Walter Thomas of Princeton; Harry Wolf, Richard. Sewall and Richard Shoaff of Williams all played well but were not quite experienced enough 10 cope with the visitors well rounded play. The long program of q matches in the English style also tended 10 make the most of the abil- lties of the well-balanced Oxford Cambridge array which won eight out O nine doubles and eight out Of 12 singles.

Visitors Romp Off With 4 to 2
 Victory Over Local Nine
The Derby Falcons came to town

The Derby Falcons came to town Sunday afternoon and slapped a 4 to defeat on the Burritt baseball team at St. Marys Field before a slim sized crowd. Thomas on the mound for the visitors was invincible in the pinches and let the locals down with six scattered singles. Bru- no kania on the slab for the Bur ritts also pitched fine ball but the support given him at times was poor.
 The Derby tossers started things going in the very first stanza and :allied three times. After TricZka had famed, Jarvis poked a single to third base and beat the throw. Swanek grounded out and there were two outs. O'Connell slapped a Texas leaguer over second base and Jarvis scored. Hickey then doubled and Ross followed with single.
 However. the Burritts came back in their half of the first inning to score twice. After Gadomski flied out to lDG IlISl DdSPlndn, LdltSkl uTt" a base on balls and Campbell whiff- ed. L. Budnick was hit by pitched ball and Rose hammered a single down the third base line. Havlick also singled but Stan Budnick struck out.
 Things were quiet in the second inning. but in the third inning the visitors tallied their last run. With enc out Swanell hit single to right field and stole second. OConnell famed and Hickey hit to center field scoring Swanek from second.
 From then on neither team was in a position 10 score with both pitchers hurling fine ball. Rose of the locals and Hickey of the visitors each got three hits out of four trips to the plate.

West Ends ,, Holy Cross o

Tommy Blanchard completely mastered the Holy Cross team and scored the first shutout registered in the league this season. At the same time, krystopa was hurling a fine game for the losers but the wretched support afforded him by his mates robbed him of any chance of victory.
 The Holy Cross team blew its chances in the first inning when two ineXcusable errors of easy flies after two were out gave the West Ends a pair of runs. A hit batsman, a hit, c passed ball and a fielders choice gave the winners two more in the fourth and a triple and delayed steal gave them their final tally in the fifth. The game was called at the end of the first half of the eighth to make the diamond available for the Cardinal Burritt game.
 The winners got two runs in the first frame without the semblance of hit. After Kelly grounded out Smithwick was hit by a pitched ball. Fields hit apop fly to Joe Budnick for the second out. Smithwick reached third and Wojack first when Si Budnick muffed the latter's easy fly. Both runners crossed the plate when Wesoly muffed Al Blanchard s fly
 Basil opened the fourth with a single but was forced at third after Cormier had been hit by a pitched oall when Fitzpatrick grounded to Krystopa. Cormier and Fitzpatrick reached third and second respective ly on passed ball. They scored on kelly's single.
 Fields tripled to open the fifth and held his base when Wojacl, reached first on Dalhowski's error.
