CASHCOAL

On Thursday, July 9Th, at 6 P.
M. the Cash Coal out slugged the
West Omaha Boosters to the tune
Of IL to 5 at Fontenelle Park.
Scott hit two home runs for the
league leading leader. Jack Wright
was the finger. The game was
b~roadcasted from Station KOWH.
Sunday July 9th at $3.50 P. M.
at River Park, the Harmony Bar
and the Cash Coal hooked up to
battle for the lead of their league.
Harmony Bar won out in the 10th
by a score of 10 to 9. The game
was packed with thrills and frills
On both sides. The Cash Coal was
the most erratic on the field The
boys threw away 2 runs by erat-
tic base running. 1t seems like
the Cash Coal boys get excited
when they are on base. Charley
Crump and Jack Wright earned
the tissue paper frying pan for
the prize boner of the season.
Crnmp tried to steal home with
the ball in possession of the catch
err. Jack Wright muffed a beau
tiful double play by not knowing
what to do with the ball after he
caught it. Net results, 5 runs
came cross the plate. The actual
ly should have read 9 for Cash
Coal and 4 for the Harmony. If
the Cash Coal expect to stay in
the running they must get to-

Jury Finds A Right
Hand Punch Kills
Opponent
CoLORED BOXER FREED
AFTER RING DEATH OF
WHITE OPPONENT

Lea Angeles, June 30 CAMP
Shaken with grief over response
bility for the tragedy, Hut Thomp-
son, middleweight boxer, declares
he will never fight again following
the death of his opponent, Lou
Gomez, 20 year old white boxer,
at San Diego June 2. Gomez never
regained Consciousness after a
Knockout in the second round and
died shortly afterwards.
The coroner's jury freed Thomp-
son, declaring the fatal blow was
unintentional being given in a
competitive sport. The autopsy re
vealed that death was caused by
q hard right hand blow to the
solar plexus which caused contu-
lion, resulting in paralysis of the
respiratory system and inter hem
orrage.
Thompson gave all of his small
purse for the preliminary bout to
the relatives of Gomez.

NEED FOR BETTER HOMES

Richmond, Va. July 10. Samuel
Solomon, the youthful undertaken,
of Miami, Florida, who led 1000 of
his fellow Negro citizens to the
polls to vote last May 2, despite a
terrorist drive on the part of the
local Ku Klux Klan, told his story
to the $500 delegates and visitors
attending the opening of the thir-
tieth annual N. A. A. C. P. confer
ence in the Mosque auditorium
here June 27.
He told it in an unexcited, we'll

deep conviction and courage that

gether among themselves and stop
wasting so many runs. Every man
on the team wants to hit home
funs. Nobody wants to sacrifice
a man to second to put him in
scoring position. That chance came
to them d or 5 times Sunday. It
seems to me that they would pro-
lit by their past mistakes. Some
of their mistakes was putrid. If
that was a bunch of grade school
kids play, you would expect to
e such base ball. But all the boys
aave had years of base ball ex-
perience as a faithful fan and
roo5er, | am asking you boys to
please get together and get some
harmony among you and some
signals and abide by them when
given to you by who ever is in
charge and who ever is coaching
to please watch the ball and stop
wasting runs. The players that
are playing in the geT E should be
alert at all times. Stop wasting
runs. The two runs that was
wasted Sunday would won the old
ball game for you. | am still root
ing for you and still believe you
will win the pennant. So get a
hustle on, all of you. Come and
win some more ball games. Re-
member harmony and signals will
go a long ways toward helping
win a ball game.

MORO WIDOW OF WHITE MAN
GETS HALF OF ESTATE

Manila, Philippines, July 13
(CNA)-Kentucky's ban on inter-
racial marriages was not valid in
the Philippines, a Manila court
ruled this week in awarding me
half of a white Kentuckian's $780,
900 estate to his Moro widow.
The court held that David Slap
les, a white native of Kentucky,
was legally married to Maria Ri
vera de Staples, a MORO woman,
before a Moro Datu Mohammedan
priest in 1918.
Charles Staples, a brother of the
deceased, contested the case, claim
ing the marriage was not legal,
since Kentucky law does not per
nit marriage between white and
colored persons. The court held
the question of validity rested in
the PHILIPPINES, not Kentucky.
