Few baseball pitchers have won
greater acclaim from the pitching
mound than Bill Holland, now lab
oring for the Black Yankees of the
Negro National League.
1t was just twenty years ago that
Bill, an understood chap with an
agressiveness equal to that OF a
lion. came laundering out of Indi-
an to hitch his wagon to Tenny
, Blount's Detroit Stars. He immedi-
ately became a permanent fixture
through the ability OF his supple
right arm. plus razor-sharp
brain.
Under the careful tntelage of
Bruce Buddy Petway, one of the
smartest players ever to wear a
catcher's mask. Holland developed
fine fast ball, disconcerting
curve. and change of pace that
was confusing to the batters.
For three years Holland baffled
the batters Of the league with his
exploding fast ball. and his fine
assortment of curves.
He was rated on equal basis with
Wilbur (Bullet Rogan, Ady Coop
err, and John Donaldson.
Holland packed his clothes In n
travelling bag In 1924 and, with
The late Frank Warfield, raced off
to the East, joining the New York
club. then known as the Lincoln
Giants.
Saw Holland stop the Washing
ton Black Senators dead in their
tracks as the Black Yankees de-
feated the Washingtonians, S to 2.
Holland, although bit gray A.
round the temples, evidenced the
same cunning and deception he
displayed while a member of the
Detroit StZrs in the early 1920's.
Holland proved his worth in the
ninth frame when the Senators rail-
lied, and with two Of the Washing
tonians on the bases, Calvin Clark,
a young washington high school
graduate, was sent in TO pinch hit.
The willy Holland "chunked" the
first pitch close to Clark's chest to
drive the batter back, and then be-

quired three week waiting period?
A. No. The waiting period can
not begin until the unemployed
worker has registered and filed a
claim for benefits after July 1st.
Q. How can a worker assure
himself he is employed by an en-
ployer paying contributions?
A. Every subject employer is re-
quired 10 post a notice informing
his workers of the fact that he is
subject and Is paying contributions
The notice must be posted In a
prominent place, according to a
commission regulation.
Q. What steps may worker
take to protect his interests II he
is dissatisfied with the determina-
tion OF his benefit claim?
A. He may make a written appli-
cation for a reconsideration OF the
decision and may carry his appeal
through Commission procedures
and on into the Civil Courts II
that becomes necessary.
The next installment will deal
with employers questions.

Motorists Protest
Bad Luck Plates

Lansing Mich--As a variation
from the annual deluge OF letters
from motorists who want certain
automobile license plate numbers,
Leon d. Case. secretary Of state,
has recently been getting strange
protests from people who vow
they can't drive with the numbers
assigned them.
Inevitably. these people want diff
ferent plates, but state law prohi-
bits such transfers, Case points
out in his answers. But last week,
one man with the courage of his
convictions, got himself new plates.
Few people want their plates chang
ed as badly as he did.
