Rycraw, who is a post comman-
der Of the James Reece Europe

ployee Of the Department of Com
merce, in an interview, told the
American Negro Press that:
Usually when the race question
comes up in convention of this
nature, you can hear the proverb-

created an uproar.
THE picketing resolution and
this one caused more discussion
than any other"
The picketing resolution, prohi-
biting government employees from
picketing was based on the ground
that picketing calls for the use of
force against the government,
which is contrary to an oath TAX
en- by the employee at the time of
his appointment. 1t passed by a
81 vote. Rycraw voted against
it, he said.
He is of the opinion, he stated
further, that sentiment is growing
against the resolution and that it
viii be repealed at the next CON
vention.
There were two colored and 174
white delegates present from all
parts of the country. Fifty per

solution urging that higher FEEDER
al positions be opened to all races
without discrimination
The resolution was introduced
by George H. Rycraw, president of

There were three votes against

fairs generally failed to appoint
colored applicants in other thar
custodial positions; yet all racial
groups contributed to the public

TRIBESMEN ARE POISED FOR HOME OPENING
Cubs Clicking
Perfectly to
Win 5 Games
Pitchers, BatSmen Function
Brilliantly to Give
Team Lead.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 23.-Five pitch
ers, five victories, a perfect road rec
ord-that was the boast OF the Chi
cago cubs today when they came
home to open the season tomorrow
at 1Nrigley field against the Cincin-
natl Reds.
1T looks like the old road jinx is
broken at last" remarked Manager
Charlie Grimm.
For the past few years the Cubs
have been a VIGOROUSLY weak club
on the road, but very tough to beat
at home. Last season the Cubs won
thirty-one games and lost forty-f1ve
away from home, and the season
before they could only win thirty
seven against forty defeats in a pen
nant winning year. During this two
year span the Cubs won 108 games
and lost forty-seVen games at home
One Hurler a Game
The bright spots in the Cubs early
drive to the National League lead
have been:
Phenomenal pitching, in which the
Cubs hurlers have held the opposi-
ton to eight runs and twenty-five
hits in five games.
The teams flaming spirit, fired
anew by Chuck Klein and Tuck
Stainback, the dashing rookie out
fielder.
The timely batting of Klein and
Stainback and the comeback of
Billy Herman.
Manager Grimm has sent five
pitchers to the mound and seen
each of the quintet deliver a bril-
liant performance and go the route
to win his game. Lon Warneke
opened the season with a one-hit
masterpiece against the Reds, and
five days later delivered another
one-hit game against the Cardinals
yesterday.
Malone Has Reformed
With the season not yet a week
old, Warneke would seem to have a
chance to threaten Grover Cleve-
land AleXander's major league rec
ord of four one-hit games in one
season, trick he turned in 1915
with the Phillies.
After Warneke's brilliant start,
Guy Bush followed with a six-hit
game against the Reds, allowing
only one runner to reach base until
he had an 8 to / lead Pat Malone,
the reformed bad boy, wheeled into
action next with a f1ve-hit game
against the Reds, in which four of
the blows were scratchy. Charlie
Root then beat the Cardinals, 81,
allowing nine hits, but pitching mas
terfully in the pinches. Warneke
came back yesterday to handcuff
the Cards, 1872.
1t hasn't been all pitching with
the Cubs. Stainback and Billy Her
man lead the Cubs in batting, each
with 400, followed by Klein with
.385.

One Change Likely,
With Ernie Playing

THERE is an even chance
IL that Erne Wingard, lanky
Indian first sacker, will appear
at his old position tomorrow
when the Tribe lines up to do
battle with the Toledo Mud
Hens in the home opener at
Perry stadium.
Manager Killefer is ready to
go with Jimmy Shevlin at the
initial corner, but it is felt that
Wingard is on the verge of re-
gaining his regular job.
Shevlin has been function
ing in brilliant fashion in the
field, but there is some ques-
ton about his batting power,
although he tore off a triple in
one of the Sunday games at
Columbus. Wingard has been
under the weather recently
with a severe cold.

Charlie Strack Up
Against Tough Foe
in Gentleman Joe
Sol SIageI Faces Dick Lever
in Semi-Final at

Charlie Strack, the popular Bos-
ton heavyweight mat ace who has
gone undefeated here in three i'm
portant bouts, will be up against
tough competition at the Armory
Tuesday night if Gentleman joe
Cox, powerful Kansas City wrestler
lives up to his reputation.
Strack, a former United States
Olympic star and twice holder of

pionship of America, is the CRAP
pier who came unheralded to the
city a short time ago and then up
set Man Mountain Dean, huge
Georgian, in three minutes. He fol-
lowed that victory by winning over
two nationally prominent huskies,
Dick Raines and Jim Parker.
Gentleman Joe" is of the rough
and tumble type, and is the Crap
pier who recently defeated Chief
Chewchki by out-roughing the In
diam Cox also recently f1oored
Matros Kirilenko, the Russian. In
two appearances at the Armory in
supporting matches, GenCleman
Joe" easily defeated Jagad Singh,
the Hindu, and Pat Flanagan, Salt
Lake City.
Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the
Hercules A. G. figures the bout as
one that will provide more than the
usual amount of action and reports
that Armory fans are displaying
keen interest in the tuSsle.
Sol (Rubber NAM Slagel who
provided Jim Londos with real OPP
position here two months ago, re-
turns to clash with Dick Lever, Ari-
IONA. in the semi-windup. In the
opening bout, the tall Roland Kich-
meyer, Oklahoma, tackles Karl
