DOINGS AMONG THE
AMATEURS
By c. A. Stewart

Played on that spacious Carter
Lake diamond, Sunday, beisg the
first time for Jul boys, and it appear
ed to affect the fielding ability of the
Rex considerably, in that, they booted
away their chances Of being in first
place.
And How
Wheeler hit for three on first ball
pitched. Hodges lined to right to
score him. Clement hit for two, Man
ley the wood on a single asd it looked
liked the Rex were off to win.
Hemple pitching consistent ball can
not be denied credit, cool, calm, and col
lected through out the game with the
same determined look on the brow Of
his team mates. They took advant-
age of every Rex error (and there
we're leogion) to cop the game 9 to 6.
Williams looked like a millios dol
lars for 7 innings. Then allowed and
walked two to fill the bags. Hunter
relieved him. Lefty walked in two
runs and as is the custom the team
went up a tree and while there did
some circus stunts.
j. d. Giocomo was trapped on an
old trick play. The short and long
play they call it, Williams taking the
short throw from Manley to catch him
off third.
There are also some sluggers on
that mothers best team, such play
ers as Ryan, Gentle, Digiacomo and
Beninato, need respecting.
Liggins and Smith, the Rex Big
Guns, of last Sunday were silent to-
day.
The question now how far back
or in shall an outfielder play, os a
windy day. Clements looked bad in
center and worse when he pulled a
Steve Brody every time he missed an
asy out. No, no, Glen the fans have
no mercy.
How SENSITIVE or emotional or
emotional or whatever you choose to
say we are, the coach on the "Best"
team called Williams just as he was
about to pitch. Williams walked in
a score. Teams should be wise to
such tricks pulled at the proper time
might mean a ball game.
Slick Lee is doing 3rd base proud
making hard chances look easy.
! The Mothers Best and Rex have
sox similar in color.
Next Sunday we play the Army
Probably at Fort Crook.
The tie that binds is the pulse of
all colored Omaha beating as one
win, lose or draw.
See you May 18th.

JEWEL NINE.
Thomas Stars On Losing Team

Jimmie Jewels Tuxedoes, STATE a,d
County kittenball team, opened their
practice sessions at 24th and Vinton
Streets with the Russell Sports, Oma-
has fastest riamond ball aggregation.
Peak performing on the mound gave
four runs and two hits in four isnings.
Although in trouble several times,
fast fielding by Grayson and Bolden,
Tuxedo infielders saved the situation.
The loss was due to the fact that
they showed, as usual, weakness in
the outfield.
With the score l to 0 in favor Of
the Russels and second and third oc-
cupied and two outs, Harvey attempt
ed to go out of his territory and
make a leaping catch, but instead
batted the ball far out into left field
allowing two runs to score
However the Tuxedoes came back
strong in their half of the fifth inning
with two outs and a man on third;
Thomas singled to right field to score
the nan and again in the seventh
with second occupied. Thomas drove a
long one to right again and scored an
other man.
Thomas thhen went on the mound
and allowed only three runs and no
hits in the remaining four and e
half innings. The Tuxedoes showed
fine fielding with the exception of
Harvey whose error cost the game.

general thing this humiliation Of
"going in at the big end of the horn

REX FAN TO SHOW FIELDING ABILITY

WELL it does seem that my theory Of Cudahy's big bats
w does not work cut after all. Batting, smuggling, they
jumped out in front A to l in the first 3 innings. But
what happened in the eighth inning, things SWING around
show up the lack of fundamentals on fielding. OF course,
they will bring out the argument, as c. A. Stewart did,
that it was the first time they had played on those
ment at all.
Take the pitching staff for instance. There isn't
a hurler in the lot that can pitch five innings OF real ball
to pile up under him a great number OF fielding errors.
And as they play that kind of ball they won't win this
little league and if they should look out what would
happen in the City series? Now use, your own judgement
7 Asst winter many of our sports writer's had columns of
- good copy published about the lack Of opportunity for
talented colored baseball players in the big leagues. They
touched on the question from many angles but all OF tnelr
ANGLES put together would not be as convincing as a single
statement that | heard this very afternoon while listen
to the White-Sox-Brown game being broadcasted.
****
At various times during the game the announcer,
Pat Flannigaa. estimated the crowd present, and also
stressed the fact that there were pleny of available seats
left. And at $4,000 was the highest estimate ne gave
anyone knows who has ever been to Comiskey Park that
there were PLENTY Of empty seats.
At another time during his broadcast he mentioned
the PLAYING and popularity of one OF the Sox players
one. Bonura-an Italian. At another time he announced
that about half Of the attendance was made up OF
Italians who were there to see their hero-Bonura. And
in that statement a philosophy was expressed. One tnat
if followed up and acted upon might do more towards
getting colored talent in the big league than anything
else.
With the diminishing attendance at our big league
marks that are built for maximum crowds II 1t were once
driven home to the baseball magnates that many OF their
empty seats would be constantly filled if they, would
permit capable colored talent on their teams, Tor the
colored people, like the Italians, would be glad to come
to the parks in droves to see their favorite colored play
ers in action there on the diamond.
Regardless Of the Justice of the situation it seems to
+his writer that if our publications could convince the
owners of ball clubs that their empty seat problem cou!o
be partly solved by permitting colored players on their
teams that maybe that day Of Utopia would arrive mucf
quicker, Try it!

CHANGES IN D1AMONDBALL EQUIPMENT
THE major changes in the diamondball equipment are
Il brought out in the shoes and ball. Previous to this
time there was no standard shoe, any soft shoe without
spikes was accepted by the officials. The official shoes
can be obtained at any Of the leading sports good stores.
The regulation shoe is made similar to that Of a
basketball shoe with the exception that there are three
curves about - inch thick, stretching across the shoe at
the ball of the foot. An elongated cross of the same de.
mansions is at the heel.
AT Russell Sports the shoes is somewhat different
from the other. They are made similar to a football shoe
with hard rubber sleats. Both Of these shoes are well
liked Ky all players, because of the fact it gives the nee
essary support to the ankles that is required in fast play
The balls only noticeable change is in the seam. Yet
the pitchers fail to get anymore speed curves out OF it.
But the hitters are getting larger blows.

bers of Congress, the fund was con-
tributed as follows:

ice DANGER TO SH|P|
NARRATED BY Byrd
Address From Antarctic Area
ReIayed Via Honolulu and
Buenos Aires.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 27.-Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd told in
graphic phrases tonight how the nag
ship Of his Antarctic expedition twice
has been endangered as it was driven
away by wind and storm from its
moorings at the Ross ice barrier.
We've had a tough time" said Byrd
in q description of the weeks activities
broadcast over c. B. 8. network. His
talk was relayed to New York by way
Of Buenos Aires and Honolulu.
Ten days ago this ship was belted
alongside the low flooring Of ice In the
Bay Of Whales. We started to unload
stores for the Winter party. Night
and day dog teams and tractors labored
to haul the stores to a cache four and
one-haH miles south. Men and dogs
worked past exhaustion.
Endangered by Ice.
I'VE could not reach Little America
directly. Enormous ice ridges, broken
and distorted by pressure ice, deep
crevasses bar the way.
Twice this ship has been driven
from her berth. The last time, she
was In grave danger. Huge pieces of
ice caved in alongside where she lay.
1t required emergency action to get
her clear In time.
Waiting for wind and swell to sub
side, she cruised and drifted about the
bay. She searched for lee, but there
was none. The winds pouring off the
rounded tops of the barrier penetrated
even where there was no mooring,
Everywhere along the four mile
front of bay ice, where she had
berthed. the ice was crumbling. mil
lion square yards broke of in 48 hours.
The place ON which We had been un-
loading had disappeared. A foe carry
ing 20 bales of hay drifted past on its
way to the Ross Sea. 1t was lucky We
lost no more. Even the barrier was
crumbling.
"Ship's Plates Dented."
"An iceberg two miles long lowered
at the mouth Of the bay There was
no anchorage either. The bottom is
400 fathoms deep, so we had to cruise
for three days, expending precious fuel
oil.
Worse still. along the bottom of
both barrier and bay ice runs a wide
submarine ledge of slick, hard green
ice. The swell keeps surging the un-
protected sides Of the ship against it.
Already plates have been dented
We have tried to hold the ship off
with telephone poles ashore. Now We
are armoring her sides with weighted
timbers and bales of rope sunk below
the water line. It's tough job. but it
can be licked"

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 27.-A con-
ference looking toward an agreement
on leader to succeed the late John H.
McCooey as head of the Democratic or
ganization in Brooklyn. was held today
between Postmaster General James A.
Farley and Thomas F. Wogan, veteran
district leader.
After indicating that the man to be
selected must be satisfactory to the
McCooey leaders. and the faction which
backed the unsuccessful mayoral can
didacy of Joseph v. Mckee, Farley said {:
I'VE are not yet ready to interfere
IN the Brooklyn situation. The first
direct overtures have come from the old
McCooey faction. Well have to hear
from the other side"

illegal activities Of japanese agents in
arresting Soviet employees of the rail-
road.
Also the part Of japanese militarists
was important in issuing propaganda
regarding the necessity of war with the
U. S. S. r. and the occupation Of the
Russian maritime provinces.
THE japanese government, instead
Of calling them to order, assumes an
attitude Of unconcern.
Under such circumstances it Is not
difficult to understand the atmosphere
of excitement and uncertainty that is
created.
"Of course, we are continuing our
peaceful policy and striving to improve
relations with Japan, but everything
does not depend upon us.
That is why We must adopt meas
ures to defend our country"
German Change Hit.
Referring to the strained relations
between Russia and Germany, Stain
attributed 1t to a change of policy in
Germany, where dominant circles now
want the Ukraine and are putting forth
efforts to change the Baltic countries
into base for an attack against the
u. S. S. R."
He found a bright spot in the es-
tablishment of normal relations with
the United States.
mo doubt the rapprochement with
the United States has a very impor-
tant significance in the whole system
of international relationships" the
Communist chieftain continued.
This is not only because an in
creased possibility for keeping peace is
strengthening trade relations and the
organization Of a base for mutual CO.
operation, but because an end has been
put to past policies when the United
States was considered the stronghold
Of anti-Soviet tendencies"
Peace Policy Restated.
The address was made Friday night,
but its text was not made public until
tonight.
Stain concluded with a reitel alton
Of the Scviets peace policy and said
"Oui foreign policy is TO keep peace
and increase our trade relations with
all countries.
THE U. S. S. r. does not intend to
threaten or attack any one, but we
do not fear menaces and we are ready
to answer blow for blow to the incen-
diaries of war
Those who want peace and business
relations with us always have our sup
port, but those who attempt to attack
us will meet decisive persistence and
learn to keep their snouts out of Our
Soviet potato patch"
Ringing applause from the 1000
delegates to the congress furnished q
tumultuous end to the address.
