A letter received from Spencer
E. Brader, Minnesota enrolment
officer of the C. C. c., would indi-
cate that recent protests against
the exclusion of colored enrollers
was both justified and effective.
The letter states that in the past
two enrolment periods Minnesota
had more places to fill than it
found men to fill them. 1t follows
that there was no reason to send
colored boys out of the state while
yet unable to get men enough to
supply its quota.
This situation has now been cor
rected and colored boys are invited
to apply.
An applicant must be a single,
unemployed youth between the
ages of II and 20. He must not
be on probation or parole. If he
has served in the C. c. c. before, he
must have been discharged at least
twelve months prior to his apply
ing for re-enrollment, and if he
has served eighteen months, he is
no longer eligible for re-enroll-
ment.
The lessening of the depression
has made possible the employment
of many more young men, causing
considerable gaps in. the c. c. c
camps. That may explain why col,
ored boys are now more welcome
Whatever the reason it is still true
that the advantages of C. C. c. fol
colored youth are obvious and this
paper urges eligible young men to
accept the invitation which Mr.,
Brader touches in the following
language:
eff you know of any boys who
desire to apply, kindly refer them
to the Information Desk, 1st floor,
GOT Third Avenue South"

TOURNEY TITLE.

Well, Mrs. Betty Meckley once

the Middle Atlantic sector, but no
one better than Betty today
realizes what a battle the cham
pion had yesterday to dispose of
the rising young Manor star,
Marion Brown, up, in the final
match for the championship. The
match was played over her home
course, Indian Spring.
Mrs. Meckley, ever the resource
full player, was met with a facer on
the eighteenth green. She met the
situation in typical M e C kley
fashion, and thereby hangs the
tale of her victory.
Marion, battling furiously to
hold her own with Betty, putted
delicately on the eighteenth green.
She had a 1O-foot putt. The ball
stopped at the lip of the cup.
Meckley was Stymied!
The resourceful Betty chose a
niklick and calmly proceeded to
jump her ball over the stymy. It
gave the champion her margin
Two up at the fourteenth, Mrs.
Meckley saw her lead wiped out

green. Betty's experience saved
her from losing the seventeenth,
but, just when she needed a great
shot. she delivered. Her tee shot
found trap but trickled through
and came to rest on the bank pro-
tecting the trap. It seemed that
she would be unable to gain a par

delivered a sensational shot which
brought her a par 3 and saved the
day thereby.

BOSTON, Oct. 16 Q.N.S).
Tony Lazzeri, player-manager Of
the Boston Bees baseball team for
1888.
Observers steamed up that pre-
diction today largely because they
could see no other reason for Laz-
zeri's unconditional release from
the New York Yankees after IL
consecutive years of sterling base
ball as regular second baseman.
Reports were current that Bob
Quinn, president of the Bees
knew Tony's release was pending
before it was granted, and offered
the managerial berth of the Ma
tlonal League club to the veteran
baseball player.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Tony
Lazzeri, for IL years the regular
second baseman and an outStand-
ing player in the recent World
Series, held his unconditional re.
lease from the New York Yankees
today.
Col. Jacob Rupert, owner of
the club, decided upon the release
after another major league club
approached the Yankees with an
intimation it would like to dicker
with Lazzeri. Identity of the Sec
ond club was not revealed.
Ed Barrow, Yankee business
manager, said Lazzeri would be
offered berth as coach or some
thing better" The club gave as
Surances it was not interested in
Tony as a player. To clear Laz-
zeri'S path to negotiate, the Yam
KEGS asked waivers on him and
all of the other Is clubs, informed
OF what was going on, granted
the waivers.
Lazzeri is expected to reach his
home in Milbree, Cal, today. An
airmail letter from Colonel Rup-
pert will be the first official news
he will receive that he no longer
is a member Of the Yankees.
