others seated on the platform, re-
ferred to the visitors in the audi

Carolina points, and took cordial
note of the white guests whom
we are glad to have"
To the visiting members of his
own race he said, "Your coming
is a fair testimony Of what has
been done for you in the erection
of this building"
Praising Mayor Edwards in the
highest terms, he asked Mr.. Wa
tiers to introduce the mayor. He
did so, characterizing him as i'm
bued with "a desire to provide for
the colored people the new build
ing, for which he worked diligent-
" and faithfully"
Mayor Edwards responding de-
clared that the new school build
ing and gymnasium was no mira
Gle of his own but that he had
had the support of the entire COM
munity and the city commission
and school board in pushing it to
completion.
He pointed to it as evidence of
confidence in our colcred people,
which is not misplaced. They are
God-fearing and home loving, and
the large part of them are doing
their best to meet their obliga-
tons" He said it was being pro-

enjoy it and go forward with their
Christianity and citizenship"
He said the administration ex-

that 1--WE find in our colored citi-

Mr.. Waters, following the may

"The value of the investment
placed in this building all depends
on what you do with it. We are
ready to go forward with you and
provide whatever educational ia

to use. We hope that the training
that will be provided here will
give you a general background
and elevate your tone of dealing
with one another and that this
center will bring general eleva-

out the entire community. L. you
want an accredited high school,

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-It takes only
few extra base hits and couple of
well pitched games each week to trans
form manager from the fans despair
to wizard of the diamond The
Pirates are doing it for Pie Traynor
and the Brooklyn Dodgers, Of all peo-
pie, are doing it for Burleigh Grimes
Your agent finds that Burleigh. once
greeted with such subtle thrusts as

by the Flatbush faithful. This leaves
Grimes very cold indeed No one
needs to tell him that after a few de-

Listen" said Grimes. I've been

that stuff means, but that don't mean
I'm not going to keep this club
hustling. Well be in the first division

This seems mild to the fans who
figure first place is none too good for
their heroes but If Burleigh does man
age to get his club into the first four
he will have accomplished one of the
great managerial feats OF the year.
Dodgers Sorry Collection.
For the Dodgers are a sorry collec-
ton of old timers, none too impressive
rockies and jonrneymen ball players.
Not even Larry MacPhairs lights, foot
races and other attractive didoes can
obscure that. The one outstanding
star. Van Mungo, has been about as
useful as spare first baseman on the
Yankees and if he returns to Brooklyn
next year everyone. including Grimes,
will be very much surprised
What Grimes has done to super
lative degree is infuse the Brooks with
some of his boisterous belligerency.
He is a big guy who was a fighter as
a pitcher and is fighter as manager.
If he thinks an umpire has missed
one he is not backward about saying so.

job No guys right all the time and

R|zz0'S BAT CHIEF
ASSET OF PIRATES
Bucs' Lead Principally Due
to Home Run ProWess of
Garden Rookie.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

While the pep" boys. Lee Handley
Brown, the great rescuer of the Pitts
burgh mound staff, have earned and
received plenty of credit, perhaps the
main reason why the Pirates are hold
ing onto the National League lead Is
because Jawn Rizzo can knock 'em out
of the park.
Rizzo has proved to Pittsburgh fans
there's no argument like home run
is hard to beat. Last season the Bucs
hit only Al komers all season. This
year they have AZ to date with SO
games still to play. And an even
dozen of them have come from Rookie
RizZo's bat.
Johnny Hangs Up Twelfth.
Johnny provided the big poke yes
terday with that 18th homer to help
beat the third-place Chicago Cubs, 20,
after Gabby Hartnetts wrecking crew
had won the first two games of the
series. The rest were in there working,
too, for Brown had to rescue Russ
Bauers with two on and none out in
the ninth and the Bucs' infield pulled
its fifth double play to cut of the
threatened rally.
Despite the victory, Pittsburghs lead
was clipped to Az games as the New
York Giants romped to double VIC
tory over the Phillies, 1l-0 and 1916.
Besides their own "a hits, the Giants
got the benefit of IA passes and 10
Philly errors.
The Yankees stretched their Amer
ican League margin to 71a games over
Cleveland by turning back the Ath-
letics twice. 4-3 and go. while the
Indians came through with single
ga decision over the Chicago White
Sox. The real feature of the American
League day, however, was the one-hit
game hurled by Buck Newsom of
st Louis.
Newsom, the Browns one successful
finger. whitfield II Detroit batsmen and
Tebbetts, in beating the Tigers, IL, in
a double-header opener.
Detroit came back to earn 3-3,
nine-inning tie in the nightcap when
Tebbetts made pinch single behind
doubles by Rudy York and Pete Fox
to complete two-run rally.
Yankee Clouts Win Pair.
The Yanks made good use of their
favorite weapon, the homer. to beat
the AS. Lou Gehrig smacked one in
each game and Bill Dickey in the first.
and George Selkirk broke up the opener
by hitting for four bases in the ninth
inning Cleveland followed suit against
the White Sox as circuit swats by Ken
Keltner and Earl Averill made up for
the fact they had to use four pitchers.
Good pitching marked a pair of
divided National League bargain bills
The Dodgers split with the Bears, and
the Reds with the Cards.

some stuff. I don't think I ever
kicked on a decision I didn't really
feel was wrong. I'm not in the busi-
ness to pick fights"
Occasionally the jumps think Bur-
leigh goes a bit far Like the time
he blindfolded himself with a red
bandanna after he thought Umpire
Larry Goetz had missed one. Burleigh
walked around like the star of game
of blind mans buff: the fans shouted.
1T could happen only in Brooklyn"
and Getz, who didn't think it was so
funny, waved Grimes out of the ball
game.
But Burleigh is no clown. He is a
survivor of the old rough. hard bitten
days in baseball when the game was
played right up to the hilt. He'd
rather be hanged than admit it, but he
loves baseball.
In the manner Of a magician pulling
things out of hat. Grimes has come
up with some very startling things this
year. Ernie Koy was cast loose by
the Yankees and the Dodgers bought
him. A lackadaisical player with the
champions. he is filled with pepper,
spirit and base hits on the Dodgers.
Kiki Cuyler. who is so old he knows
the words to all the Spanish American
war songs, is whaling the ball at a
great rate. Leo Durocher. no chicken
himself, is playing shortstop like a
master.
Durocher, scrappy little guy. is all
for Grimes. I'VE may not have the
best ball club. see," said Leo but
that guy keeps us in there all the time.
Nobody walks all over us"
In Brooklyn where all was sorrow
and sadness a couple of months ago,
the boys have gone optimistic again.
Many an ale is quaffed in praise Of
Burleigh grimes. the man who turned
circus into a ball club.
"You gotta keep in there plugging"
says Burleigh in explanation.

BERLIN, Aug. 15.-America' track
and field forces divided for fur
ther transforming tours today after
having conquered Germany. l22 points
to 90. in the first international dual
meet ever held.
The American team, which had
amazed German fans by its youth as
compared to Germanys veterans of
the 1896 Olympic games. won every
running event except the 800 meters
and placed its entries one-two in six
of them. 1t displayed surprising
strength in the distance runs.
A heavy rain. starting 40 minutes
after the opening of the second days
events yesterday, hampered the Ger
mans considerably, but over the 2-day
span they won five out of eight field
events. losing only the shotput among
the weight-tossing tests.
The rain failed to keep the fans
away from the Olympic Stadium. how
ever, and 10000 sat through yester-
days 10 events. The visitors cap
tured eight Of the tests and took five
seconds to earn their good margin of
victory.

81 feet 10 27-32 inches. Lutz Long
was third in the broad jump, won
by Fritz Leichum.
Americas long distance triumphs
came as surprises, although they had
been conceded their victories in the
sprints and the relays. Greg Rice, the
husky Notre Dame runner, staged a
great finishing sprint to win the
5,000-meter run from two German
rivals in 1885, while Forest Efaw of
Oklahoma A. and M. and George De
George Of New York took first and
second in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

for Germany Saturday.
The Americans also took the first
two places in the 200-meter dash with

RUNNER-UP TRIBE
WITHIN REACH, TOO
Pitchers Pitching, Hitters

JekyII-Hyde Griffmen.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

The Senators had an of day in the
schedule today to ponder. If they
would, a question something like,
How high Is up" The chances are
they won't dwell on it a moment be-
cause how can anybody explain why
the Washington pitchers consistent
ly throw five and six hitters at the
enemy in the home ballyard and yet
get their ears beaten back once on
the road?
Consider, if you please, the cir
cumstances. The Senators are fresh
from clean sweep of the Red Sox
series. In the process they chopped
three games off Boston's lead in the
race for third place. They now show
80 victories at home as against Is
defeats and tie. And their pitchers,
in the last 81 innings, have given up
the total of only l9 hits and three
runs, one of which was scored on a
wild pitch.
Grifith Stadium must have
Fountain of Youth tucked away in
some corner. Monte Weaver, who was
blasted for 13 hits, who gave up
eight bases on balls, and who left Is
runners on the bases in Chicago a
week ago, held the Red Sox to seven
scattered hits and won a 4-to-1 VIC
tory In the series just ended Dutch
Leonard who has been no wizard on
the road. also won on a seyen-hitter.
Harry Kelley yesterday went them
some better when he held the Red
Sox to five hits.
Red Sox In Bad Shape.
Manager Bucky Harris used to
ponder the problem. but he long since
gave up and is quite willing to for
get it until the next road trip. Bucky
commands the staff which has lock
on the DR.. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde champion
ship Of the year. He should know
his pitchers better than anybody. But
how is he going to explain his pitch
ers' action during the Red Sox series?
Only a couple of weeks ago, in the
West. he needed to change pitchers
% times during an eight-game
stretch.
The Griffs came out OF the Red
Sox series convinced that third

The Griffs have "a games left to
play at home and the same number to
go on the road. But IA of their next
20 games are slated for Griffith Stadi-

able to catch the Red Sox and possibly
the second-place Indians. 1t could
happen.
Not even the invading Yankees are

so far, both at home and in New York.
