OERTEL MAKES
COMEBACKON
SANDLOTS

George Oertel, Heurich Brewers
third baseman, has done in base
ball what Jim Braddock did in
boxing. He has come back, and
successfully, too.
Two years ago George was just
about the best Sandlot third
baseman in town. He hit well
above 300, was a deadly hitter
with men on base, and could go
down in the dirt after the hard
est grounders.
But, until recently, something
went wrong with George.
Considered .Benching Him
His hitting fell so low that
Manager Bill Flester seriously
considered benching him. His
teammates, who remembered when
Oertel was the best infielder in
the circuit, exchanged sorrowful
glances. They were afraid that
George had played himself out
With the opening of the second
half of the Industrial League a
great metamorphosis took place
in Georges game. He started
hitting like a demon to all fields.
It was the Oertel of old.
Call Him Bluege
The sandlot fans are now call.
Ing him Ossie Bluege so remark.
able have been some of his
pick-ups.
And why has George changed?
Because all that hot weather
we've been squawking about was
Just the thing to get him going.
He says the hotter it gets the
better he plays. Although George
isn't very old the boys laugh,
ingly tell him that it takes the
sun to fry the kinks out of his
ageing joints.

VIOLATING OUR CIVIL RIGHTS

In spite the that the Y. s Constitution and the
OF Michigan make it unlawful for Negroes to be
Disseminated against because of color previous
condition OF seryitude yet the civil rights OF our people
in this commonwealth are all frequently nfrnged
upon, by private white individuals and public organic
ations and institutions.
Instances of these violations Mchgan's Civil Rights
almost daily called the notice of this publica
ton The discrimination manifested various forms,
including the Negroes in public resau-
segregation motor buses elevators in certain
public buildings discrimination in the allotment of jobs

dustria codes, also in private industry and otherwise
This makes it imperative for Negro citizens to keep al

ed that white tenants in the building objected to the
presence of these colored /. l.. d. workers.
The second is in connection with the alleged bar

HAUNTING DREAMS
By J. Edward Mccall

Dreams, dreams, poetic dreams.
Why do you haunt me so?
see you in the soft moonbeams,
And in the suns bright glow.
You haunt me in my waking hours
And in my fitful sleep:
see you in the woods and flowers
And in the rivers deep.
see you in the sun-kissed peaks,
In golden sunset skies:
In dark-hued women's blushing cheeks,
And in their dreamy eyes
hear your voice in the robins song.
feel your kiss in the rain
You smile at me as ! stroll along
The path of memory lane.

My life is but breath,
But you will haunt my soul, it seems,

OF course ii we insist that God

Holy Angels are white, (and that
Is what We poor Negroes have
all along believed) why we need
not be blamed if we want white
all along the line even down TO
the most humble of men.
Green Pastures gives us a new
pride in the real merit OF the Ne
gro's contribution TO religion. We
have given color TO the white
mans religion. We put the rich
taste and spice into the white
mans creed. Without US it would
be colorless. Why do we become
shocked at Fish Fry in heaven
and then say IL is all right TO have
milk and honey in heaven. We
would ertainly have more appre-
