PLAYING FOR A BUNT

The first thing for the kid
infielder to remember is that
fielding the ball is only half Of
an infielder'S job. Getting the
ball safely in his glove is just
the start of his work. Always
there's more to do. Either he
must make a throw to COM
IAete the putOut, or he must be
in position to tag his man to
complete the play.
In other words he must have
"balanCe."
In this picture I've tried to
show this youngSter the proper
stance for an infielder. You've
got to be set with the left foot
slightly advanced and the body
balanced on the ball of the foot
in order that you can go in
any distance with equal ease.
And you've got to remember
too, to take the ball, whenever
possible, in a position that
makes it easy to throw. Of
course this is not always posi-
BILE. On hard chances the in
fielder has to take the ball
when and how he can, and
: in that instance you've got to
be able to throw while off
balance.
One thing I want to empha,
size, however. A good strong
arm is impOrtant-but it isn't
absolutely necessary. Ability to
get the ball away quickly and
with the same motion that 1t
is fielded, will make up for a
lot of arm weakness. Rule one
for infielders is Don't hang
on to that ball. Get it away
quick and fast and with snap.
No matter where your play is,
just remember that no fielder
ever got his man by holding on
to the ball"
One other thing about infield
erS. If you're a ShOrtStOp or a
second baSeman remember a lot
depends on the man whose play
ing alongside. No two men on
a field mot even the pitcher
and catCher) have to work to-
gether more than the short.

stop and second baseman. You
can't go out there cold and play
a good game. You've got to
understand and know each
other. You've got to have an
agreement about covering the
bag on every play.
And this is important, too.
Don't try to do two things at
once. Remember you've got to
field a ball before you can
throw it. Lots of infielderS 60
bad because they try to make
their throw before they have
the ball. Get SETTLED the
ball-make the throw. That's
the order. Smoothly, carefully,
quickly hut w'''out hurry.

Eks Conference
To Solve Trouble
Ends In Failure

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 49,
Efforts to conclude a peace treaty
and end the revolt in the Improved
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks of the World prior to the ap-
peal of the grand lodge being argued
in the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals at Charlotte, N. c.,
proved futile when the first proposal
made by representatives of the in
surgents was for the scalp of j. Fin
ley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of
the order.
The conference was held in Rich
mond. Va. 1t was secret and attend
ed by representatives of the two fac
tons. Perry w. Howard. grand legal
adviser, William C. Hueston, COM
missioner of education, and T. ellis
Nutter, all of whom are of counsel
for the grand lodge in the pending
case in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. represented the
grand lodge at the Richmond confer
ence.
Virginians There
The representatives of the Vir-
ginia grand lodge were James T. Car
ter, Joseph r. Pollard and DR.. Leon
A. Reid, against whom the grand
lodge was denied an injunction re-
straining them from operating under
a charter granted by the State of
Virginia.
Notwithstanding the journey from
Washington to Richmond of the rep
resentatives of the grand lodge, ne
gotiations ended abruptly when the
first of seven proposals submitted
by the insurgents called for the alb
dication of Grand Exalted Ruler Will
SON and a written agreement signed
by him that he would not he candi-
date for grand exalted ruler or per-
nit his name to be presented as
candidate or in any manner attempt
to influence the election of his sue
cessor at the next grand lodge session
to be held in Philadelphia in August.
Nothing for Grand Lodge
The grand lodge was to get moth
ing. The proposals even called for a
bargaining with the owners for the
assignment of all their rights and
title. to the charter granted them
by the State of Virginia. After ne
SotiaIlonS are concluded, the OIL
GERS of the Virginia grand lodge
would be replaced by the officers reg
ularly elected at the Philadelphia
grand lodge session.
Sought Reorganization
The proposals also called for a re-
organization of the order. including
q revision of the constitution and
bylaws by a commission composed
of Is persons, an even number to be
selected by each side of the contro-
versy. Adoption of the commissions
report would be made the first order
of business at the Philadelphia con-
vention. The insurgents would take
no chances but would have the first
business session of the convention
held Monday. August %. Public ex-
ercies with welcome addresses by
state and municipal officers are
usually held on the Monday of the
week in which the convention meets.
with the first business session on
Tuesday.

Southern Judge
Candidate For

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-If John Lvle.

primary against Mayor William
Thompson. wins the bulk Of the
Negro vote will go to Cermac the
Democratic candidate. according to
many political leaders here
The fight be wee en- Lyle and
Thompson has become of vital in
terest, they say, because Lyle, born
and reared in Tennessee and now
serving his second term in the mu-
nicipal court, is stepped in race
prejudice.
Recalls Incident
When Lyle was serving at the
Grand Crossing court, in South Chi
cago, it Is said, young man was
brought before him for speeding and
fined $40. When young white
woman walked up to the desk to
pay his fine, the justice asked her
what did she have to do with the
case.
I'VE are engaged to be married."
she replied.
Enraged, he shouted out: This
is an outrage; l will give him 80
days in the house of correction and
by that time you can find some one
of your own race to marry"
The young white woman did not
think about it as did the Dixie jur-
list, and the couple were married
some time later.
His ruling in several other cases
coming before him showed him to
have decided prejudice against Ne
gro citizens, it is recalled.
Primary, February "a
1t is also pointed out that Ger
mac, who is Bohemian, and who
served in the city council from 1919
to 1922, is well liked by his con-
stituency of both races. He placed
the first Negro Sailiff in one of the
courts and has made recommends
lions of several Negroes to places
of importance.
Mayor Thompson's chances, how
ever, seem good, and it is only in
the event that a Southerner like
Lyle beats him in the primary that
there would be any wholesale de-
Election. A number of ministers
and reformers. however. are play
ing into the hands of Lyle, by op-
posing Thompson on sentimental
grounds.

&C. Woodson Says
Historians Attempt
To Enslave Negro

BOSTON, Feb. 16.-Characteriz-
ing the writings of white American
historians as malicious and unjust
propaganda which attempted to en-
slave the mind Of the Negro bv in
stilling some form of an inferiority
complex in it, DR.. Carter G. Wood
son. distinguished scholar, bitterly
assailed them Sunday in an address
at the Ford Hall Forum.
DR.. Woodson declared that the
records taught in the schools today
breed racial prejudice and result in
lynchings. "If 1t were not for the
writings of unjust historians" he
said, "the lives of many Negroes
would have been saved from the
leaders of neck tie parties"
His attack was not limited to
white historians, and he made a
bitter denunciation of colored
teacher of American history he en-
countered in one of the Southern
colleges. This professor" he re-
lated. received his education in
the North, but had swallowed the
propaganda OF white historians in
their yelled writing of the inferior
ity complex, and he was instilling
that teaching to the youth of his
own race. To make a person feel
inferior Is to enslave his mind. No
individual or race can overcome
it."

race to history. DR.. Woodson said

windows; they were treated at the
Passavant Hospital. The Pittsburg

of his dissatisfied members the per-
sons doing the bomb hurting.

of $500 and is reputed to be the
largest Baptist congregation in Pitts
burg.
The damage was estimated at $685.

white stone church, while hundreds
of colored folk are unemployed.

jured by the blast, two white wom-

ing. The edifice is being remodeled
at cost of $4,000.
Mrs. Scott was bruised when she
was hurled from her bed by the i'm
pact. Occupants in homes adioin-
ing the church were panic stricken,
