Controlled French
Press Appeals
For German Aid

GRENOBLE, France, July "a
CUP) - The closely controlled
French press appealed to Germany
today for aid through the coming
winter and called upon the French
people to maintain a loyal atti-
tude" toward their conquerors.
The authoritative Petit Dauphi-
nois said in a front page editorial
that France was faced with a ser
iouS shortage of fuel and food and
that the solution rested in the
hands of the Germans.
"One cannot expect miracles
from the French government the
newspaper said. The (German)
armiStice commission holds by its
decision the fate of all Frenchmen
in the coming months-that is to
say that upon the loyal attitude
toward our occupants depends our
existence"
The newspaper pointed out that
the population in unoccupied areas
was several millions greater than
it was before the war despite the
efforts of the government to return
refugees to occupied territories.

ROWING ALONG SPORTSDOM
BY MABE K0UNTzE
Majors Fear Draft
BY MABE K0UNTZE

The army draft may be a good wind
for colored ball players in the upper
age brackets. On the increase is the
major league draft problem slowly
seeping in the press. The new PM
newspaper strikes an optimistic note
with, Big League Baseball Ignores
Draft" But the y. Y. Sunday Work
er's Bill Newton scoffs at the PM story
and writes in part as follows: "PMs
article viii certainly be news TO a num-
Der of young minor league stars who
find their contracts are not being
bought by major league clubs because
the draft may intervene. l don't know
what the magnates plan to do about
cOnscription. But you can bet your
boots they're not ignoring the draft "
Well, Fans, just suppose the draft did
sweep up the white major and minor
league players from 21-35 years during
1941-1945. Of course it would also
sweep up the young colored ball play
ers too.

The Cambridge and Medford boys
first began in fun back in 1925 when
the University city walloped the Boat
city $50. Medford silently prepared
and in 1927 came back to score a 12-O
victory and then swept on through the
1928 and 80 games with a 60 margin
in each. Then Cambridge really pre-
pared and went to town in 1881 and
'32 with 1910 and 60 triumphs. Came
1888 and the city rivals fought score
less tie. Medford barely won the 1884
contest 60.

Could Use Paige

But when it comes TO ball players in
the upper age bracket, you can't beat
the colored race which has ball players
who are ike COP Man River. They
jest keep rollin' along! And if the
majors ever come to the point where
they need veteran players it is a cinch
that the colored race can more than
supply the market. .. In this class of
immortals 1 recommend pitcher Satchel
Paige and first baseman Mule Suttles !;
outfelder Turker Stearns, and catcher
Larry Brown and, well, why use up
the whole column? The amazing
truth is that most of the colored "old
timers can play rings around most of
the younger paleface talent now in the
majors. And they seem to "wear"
longer, too. Indeed, life begins at
40 for a good many colored ball play
ers who, as far as I can observe, actu-
ally grow better with age. Franny
Matthews, as a young sensation had
very hard time replacing aged Mule
Suttles of Newark, as a marked ex-
ample. Suttles can still pole out
500 #. home-runs and he is only one
example of numerous colored veterans
who could be drafted into the majors.

there'n never be another ike it. :.
Practically all of the 372nd is made up
of athletes of past and present. The
Senior Capt. Ned Gourdin, ex-Har-
ward, was the first man to broadjump
25 feet. Major Alexander R. Davis
is a rabid rooter for the 372nd basket
