Force Review of
Engineers Dismissal

Los Angeles, CAMP --Civic Of
ficials who recently dismissed
John Henry Owens, poet and
ectrical engineer, from civil SER
vice position and then refused TO
reconsider the case did an abrupt
about face this week after clipp-
ings of a story released by the
Associated Negro Press on the
matter were published and shown
to them.
Owens, who was employed in the
motor testing laboratory as ap-
prentice electrical engineer, was
dismissed on May 81 three weeks
before his appointment would have
became permanent. He said 1t was
due to resentment of white en-
ployee against a Negro holding his
position and his refusal to allow
two white workers to throw" a
party at his home.
After the story of his dismissed
appeared, copies were brought tc
the attention of Mayor Frank l.
Shaw who sent him letter i'm
mediately stating the city depart
ment of water and power had beer
requested to make an early inves-
tigation of the matter. Owens cred
its this belated action to "the pow
err of the Negro press.

Does Your Cough

Do people shrink their shoulders and
turn their faces away when you cough
near them? Stop this embarrassment,
and end your worry over that awful
cough by getting relief with Creomul-
sion. the formula that thousands Of
doctors use in their families and prac-
tice.
Doctors and druggists use Creomulsion
because effective doses of Beechwood
Creosote are by special process blended
with six other real cough and cold
helps which aid nature to soothe and
heal inflamed membranes as the germ
laden phlegm is loosened and expelled.
Even If other remedies have failed
don't be discouraged. your druggist is
authorized to guarantee Creomulsion
and to refund your money If you are
not satisfied with results from the very
first bottle. Ask your druggist for
Creomulston.

Aha. a Real Streak!

CLIF, of course, returned to the
game couple days ago in Boston,
but his finger still was so sore as to
make the success of its cure doubtful
Prior to yesterday he had gone to bat
nine times without being able to
follow through on his swing. Conse-
quently he not only went hitlesS but
only once was he able to raise ball
out of the infeld.
So welcome indeed was his report
of complete recovery yesterday and
the ensuing measure of proof. The
lower end of the batting order, with
Kress, Bluege, Miles and the pitcher
walking to the plate in that order,
struck little fear into the hearts of
the enemy hurlers, but with Bolton
dragging his big bat to the dish the
Mats are far more dangerous.
Especially is the prospect of Bolton
banging hits as of yore welcome at
this time. BY winning again yester-
day, and, incidentally, running Grit
fifth A. C. winning streak to five in a
row for the first time since 1898
Washington gained more ground in
the second-place battle. They picked
up a full game on the Indians, who
lost to the White Sox, and gained
half a game on the third-place tt
gers, who broke even in a double
header with the Browns. The Mats
now trail the Indians by four games
and the Bengals by three and one
half.

CATCHER, IN TRIM,
PROVES BIG HELP
Responsible for Five Runs in
90 Game in Which Had
ley Is Bumped.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

- TILL in the process of confound-
ing critics who were counting
them out only week or so aso,
~ the Nationals today found cause
to view their future with fresh jubi-
lance and new sense of security.
The big bat of Cliff Bolton is booming
again.
Silenced three weeks ago, when the
stocky little catcher sustained a
cracked finger in ST. Louis, it sounded
anew yesterday to enhance the Ma
tionals' second straight victory over
the Yankees. In fact, the prospect OF
Bolton again supplying the lower end
of the batting order with his normal
punch almost overshadowed the run
ming of the Washington winning
streak to five games in a row.
Belittled as Bottoms backstopping
may have been for the last couple
seasons, there is no denying his wallop
of the tee. With a bow to Walter
Miles, it must be stated that Cliff
was missed when his finger lost de-
cision to a foul off Sam Vests bat
on July 26. Yesterday, while the
Griffs were beating the Yanks, 9 to 2,
he furnished shred of evidence as to
his value Hale and hearty for the
first time since his injury, Bolton
cracked three hits, scored pair OF
runs and batted across three more to
jazz up a Observation-Disclosures
had been showing signs here and there
Of faltering.

local mittman in several months. Out
weighing the 196-pound Burke by two
pounds, Tymosko won every round.
Carmarata's decision over Ingram
evened matters between that pair, as
the latter recently won by the same
narrow margin here two weeks ago.
Camarata fought heady battle, win
