STRAND

Performances tonight conclude the engagement at Warmers Strand of Broadway Melody of 1888" with Robert Taylor and Eleanore Whit ney, also Bad Guy" with Bruce Cabot.
 Dead End" Samuel 0oldwyn's film production based on the Broad- way stage hit by Sidney Kingsley, comes to the Strand tomorrow with Sylvia Sidney and Joel McCrea in the starring roles.
 This powerful drama of Q day in the lives of Q handful of humans who inhabit a "dead end" city street. where fashionable apartments rub elbows with the squalid tenements of the waterfront, which set records in its Broadway run and was cheered from Coast to Coast, reaches even greater heights in the film version.
 Sylvia is seen as Drina, the Slum girl who is battling desperately to raise herself and her small brother Tommy to a better life; McCrea plays Dave, the poor architect she loves, who, in turn, loves Kay, (Wen- dy Barrie), who has found way out of the slums into luxury and won't return even for love; Humphrey Bo- gart is seen as Baby Face Martin, the gangster with Q price on his head, who braves death in the slurn where he was spawned only to fnd that his own mother hates him and that Francey (Claire Trevor), his boyhood sweetheart, has taken life the easiest way. Allen Jenkins Is seen as Hunk, Baby Faces" hench- man, the Dead End kids from the original New York stage cast, Billy Halop, Gabriel Dell, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, Leo Gorcey and Bernard Punsley, relieve their famous char. acterizations of Tommy, TT.

dashes, and tied for first In the

third in both the running broad
Jump and the hop step-and- jump
He accounted for "a points.
Saturday at the eleventh annual

the 440-yard dash. He was third
in the 100, second in the hop step
and jump, second in the running
high Jump. and second in the run
ming broad jump. He scored eight
points.
Probably Gaines showing can be
attributed TO the sloppy condition
OF the track. A heavy downpour.
plus the marching OF the patrol
men. flying motorcycles, added to
the poor condition OF the track.
Detroit defeated the Toronto
Boobies as more than 10000 sat In

SEMI PROS PUT.
UP RACE BARS.
Future Uncertain For
Colored Players

Chicago-As you know, there has
been growing agitation by the col.
ored press and some white sports
scribes for the use of dusky base
ball players in the big leagues. II
was a shock, therefore. to read re.
Gently in daily papers that the Ma.
tional Semi Pro Baseball Congress
was planning an barring - mixed
teams from competition after thi:
years national tournament al
wichita.
Realizing that this would be
huge step backward and the sue
cess OF such mixed teams could nc
longer be pointed to as an argu'
ment for lowering the National and
American league color bars, con
tact was Immediately made with
Hans Wagner. the immortal Pitts
burgh shortstop. who is commits
sioner OF semi-pro ball
Replied Mr.. Wagner. There
must have been some mistake In
the article which | never saw. We
feel colored players are not only
good as players but also good
drawing cards
Raymond Dumont OF Witchia
president of the semi-pro congress
wrote at the request OF Hans Wag-
ner stating: "No official action will
be taken in reference TO drawing
the color line in the National Semi.
Pro program until a meeting Of
state commissioners tentatively
scheduled for Chicago In February
Any ruling will be voted upon by
the commissioners and which, oil
course, must be approved by tho
high commissioner. Honus Wagner
at this writing We are not ex-
pecting to eliminate Negro teams
AS far as mixed teams are con
cerned. there has been some agi-
tatIon among the commissioners re-
garding this feature. However, no
thing official will be forthcoming
until the next meeting. at wiicf
time we will be pleased to give you
| the exact ruling"
The future therefore. Is uncer'
tain. But is will be no credit to the
state commissioners II they decide
to outlaw mixed teams. nor to
Hans Wagner II he okays such a
step.

will be held in wichita from Aug
