AL AWARDS were Dy unanimous
vote of the committee. The certifi-
cate is an engraved diploma which
can be suitably framed and bears

dent and the board chairman. Re-
cipientS of the coveted awards were
as follows: DR.. Leon A Ransom.

Springfield. Mass; Rev. E. c.

Comment describing the achieve
mentS of the reciDientr was in
part, as follows:
DR.. Leon A. Ransom IS a lawyer
and has given mis- talents to the
work of the NAACP for years.
This Award of Honor is not. how
ever, given him in simple recogni-
ton of the legal services who serve
the Association. only lawyers would
get any award in almost any year
ard certainly all six OF the awards
granted this year would 60 to at
torneys. But Leon A. Ransom's
special merit is that he gave his
services without charge, not
simply as an attorney, but as
loyal member of the NAACP
Mrs. Sarah Meriwether Nutter,
wife of one Of the most active
and long loyal officers of the
NAACP, of Charleston, West Vir-
ginia, is not being honored for that
reason, but has earned this Award
in her own right: by years Of de-
voted service through the greatest
Branch in her state, and by crown
ing this meritorious career in 194C
by managing a great concert with
Miss Marian Anderson, out OF
which $1,000 came to the National
Office and another ST., 900 was put
into the treasury of the Branch
Mrs. zella M Taylor-The COM
mittee experienced the keenest
pleasure in making this award tc
Mrs. 1ella M. Taylor, repre-
sentative of the far west, and
woman. Mrs. zella M. Taylor
represents a career interested i
the NAACP: she was once an as
sistant secretary, associated with
one of our best secretaries, also a
woman, who sickened and died.
Since that time, Los Angeles Mrs.
Taylor has carried on as secretary.
Through George c.. Gordan, of
Springfield, Mass, we can give
honor to an entire city. Some

their activities. ....

One might think that the struggle

rought into play this is belied by

minority group that the nation can
safely depend upon is the Ameri-

SEATTLE, Nov. 15.-The State
of Washington in 1910 boasted
two championship professional
baseball teams, each of which
has had a three-year stranglehold

Seattle won the Class AA Pa

tie finished second in 1938-first
year of the present ownership
headed by Emil Sick. Here are
the Seattle attendance figures:
1938-449,111.
1939-541,058

Spokane won the Class B

Seattle hit its peak in 1889
when it won its first pennant in
Is years. Cold and rain held
down attendance in the early
stages of the 1910 season, and
when Seattle went some II games
in front by mid-AuguSt, interest
dropped off in the lopsided race.

soFTBALL AND BASEBALL


sports are at a critical stage in
Key West just about now. What
has brought about this condition
has been the main topic of. discus
sion among managers for the
past few weeks. Many reasons
have been advanced, as well as
corrective ideas. But still the
waters remain as muddy" as
ever. Cooperation is lacking.
Jcalousies and animosity pre-
dominate. Petty grievances are
nursed until they become noun
tains of hate. With these faults
it is not hard to understand the
situation. 1t is our belief that
if each and everyone directly
connected with sports would con-
suit MIR. Webster as to the
meaning of "sportmanship" and
carry out the spirit of its defini-
ton, there would be fewer "un-
desirable" faults and better, more
wholesome feeling towards one
another.

Battles For Tonight
In Opener;

Twin Bill

A pair of excellent, hard
fought softball games will be on
tap tonight at Bayview Park.
The fur will fly when VP53,
leading ten of the Service League,
tangles with the us. Army in
the curtain-raiser of a regular
Key West Amateur Softball AS
sociation doubleheader. beginning
at 700 o'clock.
The air and ground forces of
the United States have a friendly
feud among themselves and to-
night will tell the tale of who
can do the mos effective shoot
in .. Sgt. George Nodine, cap
tain of the Soldiers, has issued a
warning to r. T. Thompson, man
ager Of the VP53's, that the
Army's Big Berthas" are we'll
oiled and primed for battle. Not
to be ohtdone, and in no wise
admitting the superiority of the
enemy, Mr.. Thompson brushes
ASIDE the warning and retaliates
with the claim that his bomb
ing racks are practically releas-
ed already and you just watch
those landlubbers scatter when
the missiles go whistling past
them.
AS proof of their prowess the
the Aviators point to their bonn
bardment of the Campers We'd
nesday night, 1911. 'Three-point
and two-point landings" were
aplenty as the Airmen went to
work against a pair of CCC
moundsmen. However, talkative
Nodine claims that display of
power is phoney against the
ArTny's 1910 trouncing of the
Conservationists last week. ''We
blasted three homers in that
game, besides many triples, dou-
bles and singles, too numerous
to give the exact amount, No
dine declares. 'If the VP's are
looking for a battle, they'll get
one tonight.
NavStas-Plumbers
An equally hard-fought and
exciting contest will develop in
the nightcap when the NavStas
visit against the Peppers
Plumbers for the leadership of
the Civilian League.
Losing a chance to practically
tie the Peppers Wednesday night
by letting the Bombers come
from behind to knot the count
at 9-alI at the end of the game,
the Naval Station employees are
confident of victory tonight.
Well be sitting on top of the
league when the battle is over
tonight. is the sentiment of the
NavStaS.
On the other hand, the Peppers
claim the contest will be "just
another game" that will go into
their victory column. With Clar-
ence Gates in shape tonight, the
Pipe-Fitters can't see how they
will lose.
Regardless of which team wins
in either game of the twin bill,
fans may rest assured they will
be furnished a real evening of
softball entertainment.
Here's how the standings will
be should the Army and Nav
