women of the Twin Cities may
point the truth of that observation.
Negroes may utilize housing
and dormitory facilities of the Uni
versity."
Dean Guy Stanton Ford, acting
president, late Monday gave The
Minnesota Daily copy of a letter
dated December 20, 1887, and ad-
dressed to VIM. T. Middlebrook,
comptroller, which made this deci-
sion.
The above, taken from the Feb
ruary l, 1888, issue of The Mime
sofa Daily, the University daily
newspaper, brings to a satisfac-
tory solution a problem that long
has vexed University authorities
and been the source of much bitter
embarrassment for Negro students
of this institution.
In his letter to the Daily, Dean
Ford calls attention to a recent
vote of women students in the coop
cottages who voted 60 to A to re-
fuse to admit Negro girls into the
cooperative dormitory. Comment
ing upon this incident the Dean
adds these significant conclusions:
"Once person airs prejudice,
a false consistency may make him
think he has taken a stand on a
principle for the rest of his life.
This is very easy and very unfor-
tunate in questions like those of
race and color, where emotions
need to be buried deeper each day
by an additional spadeful of rea-
son and fairness and tolerance 1.
there is no place for intolerance
based on the things about (people)
that they cannot change by any act
of their own"
The dean might have said that
the attitude of many of these
young white women who voted to
bar cOlOred girls from Opportuni-
ties offered by this tax supported
institution, has its base in some
equally preiudiced minds of higher
University officials who have en-
cOuraged them to believe they be-
long to some specially endowed
group, instead of declaring with
final emphasis that the University
and all it has to offer is the COM
mon possession of all Minnesota
people without regard to color or
creed, and those not satisfied with
this fact are privileged to go else
where.
Many students, however, express
very different attitude and cor
daily welcome any minority group
into fullest fellowship and oppor-
tunity.

saved its earnings for a year, they
would have $S52.8O. With this
amount of cash money the club
could get around 100000. A
store, an oil station, or woman's
hat shop would have good start
with $1,852.80 worth of stock.
This 100000 could be borrowed
through the Associated Negro
Credit Union at very low rate of
interest. Thus the buying clubs
would be building business insti-
tuition and credit union at the
same time. Since the credit union
is the financial body of the CO.
operative movement, this would be
a practical way that it could func-
ton. This is something the people
can do in their own communities
without gifts from wealthy people.

blalr, Mort said. Used to be county
commissioner. Got defeated last elec-
ton. Must be he's drunk, or he
wouldn't be speaking to any one. Ugly
cuss as a rule"
There was something about the way
Mort looked and spoke that made me
want to ask more questions, but Just
then the match started and, along
with 10000 other fans, I became alb
sorbed by the efforts of Champion
Red Stranger to maintain his title.
1t was good bout, running an
hour and forty minutes. On the way
home We talked about it. dropped
Mort at headquarters, and didn't see
him again for three days.
The next morning 1 read in the
papers that Simon Ellis, a promin-
ent banker. had been found dead in
his apartment. Foul play was sus-
pected. I remember that Mort was
with me at the matches when the
murder, If it proved to be murder,
was believed to have occurred, and
wouldn't he be sore.
It was in my mind to drop in and
see Mort that day, but events didn't
make it convenient. The evening
paper stated that nothing had been
discovered Of consequence concern
ing the death of Ellis. except that it
had been definitely established that
1t was murder. No suspects were
named. The police had little to go
on.
THE following morning I read that
Mort had arrested Toby Blair,
and in the first evening edition there
were headlines to the effect that
Toby had confessed to being respon-
sible for the killing.
Naturally I was curious. I re-
membered the look on Morris face
and the tone of his voice when he
had identified Blair on the night Of
the wrestling matches, but as far as
I could see. and the newspapers, too,
Mort had no reason at all for con-
Meeting the ex-commissioner with the
crime.
got in touch with Mort as soon
as I could. He invited me down.
We'll. how did you do it? What
made you think Blair had anything
to do with it?"
He grinned. Every one won.

Evening star., 1938-09-14

Il told you Blair was ugly. 1t wasn't
his habit to greet friends so pro-
fusely. 1t wasn't his habit to speak
to any one. 1t wasn't even his habit
to attend wrestling matches"
"Well?"
Well got thinking about it. I got
thinking there was reason for him
acting that way. Men don't do things
that aren't their habit without rea-
son."
F.. so you figured he must have been
trying to establish an alibi?"
Sure. And why? Well, there was
only one thing that happened that
night that any one would want to
establish an alibi for. The murder
OF Simon Ellis. But what did Blair
have to do with Ellis? Nothing. That
is, nothing that any one knew any
thing about.
THEN I remembered that once I'd
seen a rat named Sam Hall rid.
ing in Blair's automobile 1t wasn't
Blair's habit to take rats like Sam
Hail for ride. Hall is petty thief
maybe worse. Little things like that
stick in my mind. It's my business
so I had Hall picked up. We
questioned him. He broke easy. the
sniveling, whining rat. He told me
to go see Deke Kovark Now i knew
the trail was getting hot. Kovark is
known as the killer.
I'VE picked up Kovark. We worked
on him. He was tougher than Sam,
but he couldn't stand the gaff. We
accused him OF the murder OF Blair;
then we promised leniency II he
turned States evidence
There's no honor among crooks.
Kovark saw We had him. He decided
to do what he could to save himself.
So he told us Blair had hired him
to do a job on Ellis Sam Hall drove
the car. Blair wasn't taking any
chances on being implicated, so he
established his alibi by being seen
at the matches.
1T seems that Ellis knew about
Blair fllching some money from the
county during his term of ONCE as
commissioner It was stored in
Ellis bank. Ellis had told Blair that
unless he split he'd squeal. So Blair
decided to have him bumped of.
There it is. all sewed up" Mort
shrugged and smiled. You can take

fame along with Billy Knox of Phil

Wis; Jack Karstens, Fort Sher-
idan, ILL.,, and Carl Mesenberg,

Schalk, although weighing only 140

Rogers Hornsby has finally land
ed another baseball job, this time

Polish Behen1oth

Stanislaus zbyszko, ancient Pole
who was formerly king of the
heavyweight wrestlers,. is back in
the United States, not as a wrestler,
but as an impresario. Somewhere
in the hinterlands of Poland he
caught up with a giant named
Wladyslaw Talun, who is first cousin
to- the missing link and who,
Zbyszko believes, will be the next
heavyweight wrestling champion.
Z. Talun, towering six feet, eight
inches in height and weighing 278
pounds was a lumberjack in one of
Poland's vast. forests. Zbyszko
took the youngsterto South. Ameri-
ca with him several years ago. This

Two months ago Zbyszko brought

sentimental reasons he would like

Rudolph Preston York, Detroit
Tiger catcher who halls from Atco,

One is to break Babe Ruth's record

Confident that they would have an
adequate defense man in Andy
Kerr, reserve goalie of the New
York Americans, the Hawks were
dumbfounded just before game time
by maneuver of the crafty Connie
Smythe, the Leafs manager. With
the connivance of league officials
English Allie" Moore, castoff vet
eran, was foisted on the Hawks
although his afternoon had been
spent in a tavern and his orders for
more ale had been frequent. : But
by some magic, Allie played a
whale of game, made himself
hockey hero and held the Leafs to
one goal while the Hawks were
scoring three.
League politics again interviewed
and Moore was declared ineligible
for the second game. Paul Good
man, an inexperienced recruit who
had never seen a major league
hockey game, was substituted.
Goodman was easy for the Leaf
marksmen. Red Horner, the Leafs
bad man, contributed to the rout by
breaking the nose of Doc Romnes
and cutting Hawks Roger Jenkins
and Louis Trudell to the skull with
his stick. The Leafs won to /.
Back they came to Chicago for
the third and fourth games. Mike
Karakas was back in the nets, his
broken toe protected by a special
steel guard. With the score tied
at goal apiece late in the game,
Doc Romnes, who earlier got re-
taliation from Horner with his
stick, gave the Hawks the win with
a long hard shot.
In the final game the Blackhawks
who couldn't possibly do it, won
easily, taking the now demoralized
Maple Leafs by score of 4 to /.
So Bill Stewart is happy al
though tired man. And if he misses
a few close decisions in the early
days of the National league season,
maybe it will be because he's think
ing of hockey instead of baseball.

ords, because he has crashed one
down already. He drove out 10
home runs in a single month
August, 1937-which was one more
than Ruth ever recorded for a SIM
liar period.
His total home run production in
1887 was IS. York had been tried
out around the infield and found
wanting. Detroit was desperate for
catchers after the accident to
Mickey Cochrane, so they put Rudy
behind the plate. When Cochrane
told him he was to be the clubs
regular catcher, he began a batting
stampede that made history. The
season was then about two-thirds
over, but he socked the ball at a
clip that sent his average up go
points. When the season closed he
was the only batter in the league to
average better than two bases
every. time he connected for a hit.
