Final contenders for The Stars
boy and girl singles net champion
ships we're to be determined at Co.
lumbia Country Club and Friends
School today while six junior play
ers battled to reach the semifnal
round of their division at Columbia.
Because of the uneven progress
of the junior and girl doubles COM
petition and the weekend recess,
which was to start this afternoon,
all title matches have been sched-
uled for next Tuesday, thus leaving
Monday for the cleaning up of pre-
liminary odds and ends.
It. however, will be either Britt
Schweitzer or Henry Hales against
Sidney Falk or David Sterling for
the bows title and either Margot
Parsons or Ruth johnson against
LaJeanne Echols or Julie Fisk for
the girls crown after today's semi
final pairings.
Schweitzer Is Standout.
SchWeitzer. Calvin Coolidge Highs
14-year-old No. l player. is stand
out to capture the boys crown after
his straight-set defeat of Dets
Cotton Smith yesterday, Ut
among the girls it appeared to be
a toss-up. Miss Parsons was the
defending champion. but Miss john
sen, sister of the Middle Atlantic
mems champion. eliminated third
seeded Ann Powell yesterday and
was a distinct threat to Miss Par
sons today. The Echols-F'isk match
loomed as a close one. with the
vastly improved Miss Fisk a slight
choice over the girl seeded two
notches above her.
Because he is in Richmond with
Washington Hotchkiss Cup team,
Bobby Bensinger is not scheduled to
play his quarterfinal Junior match
with Bob Miller until tomorrow
morning. but three other semi
finalists were to come from the Bill
Helfrich-Bill Gaines, Ben Fisher
Bob Hall and John Waite-David
Smith encounters.
With all but Smith in the quar-
ters without the loss of a set-and
Smiths lone loss coming yesterday
during his defeat of eighth-seeded
Griffin Holland-there wasn't a
standout among them. Helfrich
and Gaines of Wilson and Coolidge
High Schools, respectively, had spe-
cial reasons for wanting to win to-
day. The victor probably will be
paired with Bensinger in the semi
finals, and they want crack at
the champ.

match of the tournament thus far.
Hall, though, is said to be cratic
a trait which might cause him
trouble against steady. second
seeded Ben Fisher today.
This mornings third quarterfinal
sent another southpaw, John Waits
of Bethesda Chevy Chase High,
against David Smith. Smiths
chances rose yesterday when he
rallied to eliminate Holland, 3-6,
GO. 6-4, but Waits was the logical
favorite in view of his fine play
to date. He stopped Alvin Dulcan
of Friends, 6-4. 6-1, yesterday.
Schweitzer won" the boys cham
pionship. in the opinion of most,
when he defeated Cotton Smith.
6-3. 60, yesterday. No other
rival is thought to have the game
that was Smiths and only the Off
cials' lack of knowledge put them
both in the same bracket. Hales,
Schweitzer's opponent today, may
surprise as he wasn't expected to
beat Harry Ong yesterday, yet did,
6-3, 46. 81.
Falk, Sterlings opponent in the
other semifinal never played tennis
seriously before this year, but did
all that was asked of him yesterday
when he whipped Gordon Linke,
60, GO, and then proceeded to
defeat Leroy Morgan, 6-3. 6-3.

earlier match, defeating Billy Raj

that juncture Buddy Lewis looped

lead over the New York Yankees to
two games.
Cramer currently is suffering the
miseries of a slump, carrying a string
of 16 hitless trips to the plate into
today's contest, but those IA hits the
Mats produced off Al Smith. Harry
Eisenstat and Clint Brown offer evi-
dence of generally harmonious hit
ting.
Poor Pitching Is Offset.
The Mats weren't receiving much
pitching from Sid Hudson, who
staked the Indians to a 80 lead
in the first four innings. Ken
Keltner drilled tremendous homer
high into the left center field
bleachers with nobody on in the first
inning and the Indians added single
runs in the third and fourth.
Washington sliced Cleveland's adj
vantage to 80 in the fifth, though,
and tied the score in the sixth. BY
the eighth inning the Mats had con-
structed a formidable 6-3 lead,
which vanished when Walter Mas
terson weakened in the ninth.
Walter walked Keltner, pitched a
single to Gee Walker and a double
to jeff Heath and in came CarraS-
mel whose first act was to toss a
single to Soup Campbell that scored
Walker and Heath and knotted the
count.
Cleveland hammered Washing
ton pitching for 16 hits, including
four by Heath and three by Walker,
while Bloodworth poked two singles
and brace of doubles for the Mats.
Lewis contributed two singles and
a double.

Harris Has Shot
AT Own Discus
Record Today
Negro's ia Foot 83A
Inch World Mark One
Of Targets on Coast
BY ROBERT MYERS,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
PALO ALTO, Calf, June 2l.-
Girded for record-shattering per-
! formanceS, 200 of the finest ath-
! ietes in America ring down the cur
tain today on the 1941 track and
field season with the big meet of the
year-the national collegiate cham
pionships.
With one world mark already
placed in the discard in yesterday S
qualifying trials-a tremendous
discus throw by Indiana's Negro
star, Archie Harris-today's finals
brought together representatives
from SO schools in Stanford Uni
yersity's great sports stadium.
Harris mighty effort with the
heavy platter measured 174 feet 80.
inches. The recognized world rec
ord is held by Germany's Will
Schroder-174 feet 2l2 inches, set
in 1885.
More Thrills Due Today.
Spectacular as Harris achieve
ment was, more thrills were expect
ed today. Champions back to de-
fend their 1910 laurels were Nor
wood EWell of Penn State, the
1910 sprint king; Indianas Camp
bell Kane in the $50; Al Blozis of
Georgetown in the shot put; Cali
fornias Martin Biles in the jave-
| line; Johnny Wilson of U. S. c., CO.
champion in the high jump; and
Harris, given another chance to
outdo his own efforts of the trials
Yesterday.
Opening attraction in the track
events was the mile, with Leslie
MacMitchell of New York Univer-
sity standout. Kane was seen as
his closest rival.
The quarter-mile run promised
another battle, pitting Grover
Klemmer of California against a
field that included Hubert Kerns
of U. s. c., Bill Lydia of Oklahoma,
Bob Smith of Washington, Harold
Bogrow of New York u. Gene Lit
tier of Nebraska and others.
Individual star of the meet was
Louisiana States one-man track
team. Lankv Billy Brown. Runner
up in broad jump. Brown placed in
that event as we'll as in the two
sprints.
Ohio States great high hurdler,
Bob Wright. had a strong field
against him today, but was expected
to win.
Center of attention in the high
jump was Les Steers of Oregon. the
lad who startled the sports world
with a leap of 6 feet II inches last
Tuesday and who hoped to reach
the 7-foot mark today.
Misfortune Dogs Several.
Misfortune dogged several per-
formers. Bob Peoples of U. S. c.,
the great javelin thrower in the
country two years ago, may have
taken his last fling yesterday when
he qualified with 2l2 feet So inch.
He reinjured his sore arm and said
he would let that mark ride through
the finals. He leaves for military
service tomorrow.
Texas lost its best sprinter when
little Carleton Terry, hampered by
illness for several weeks, missed out
in the qualifying He had been eX-
pected to give Elwell and the rest
a hard run.

cord with union principle Unionsm is in re,
sponse to desires of individuals for higher oppor-
tunites to direct their lives accordingly. Union
of individuals brings poWer-and hence response
bity.
The whole nation depends upon unions to main
tain Americanism on the labor front. 1t is futile
Ito fight the dctatOrs on the military front if we
abdicate the labor front to the Communists and
those who follow the Communist party line.
The right-abOut face Of the Communist party
since the Nazi invasion of Russia constitutes no
"eason for us to alter cur attitude toward them
Our policy is based upon their opposition to free
dom of speech and press, freedom Of assemblagee
freedom to organize into independent free trade
unions and freedom to worship in accord with the
dictates of our cOnScienceS.
Communists support Of the defense program
lin order to aid the Soviet Union does not remove
the reasons why labor fights them as deadly enc
mies. Whatever foreign policy the adminlstra-
ton may follow as military eXpedient, there can
be no revisal Of our unrelenting opposition to
Communists within our democracy.
x x
Let us not be deferred from our determination
to defend our American institutions by such spur
ious charges as purge" or "redbaiting" by those
who want special privilege for the Communists
What we are coltending for is infinitely more than
eradication Of Communists. We are contending
for and ready to defend opportunities for personal
freedom and personal living. We must have the
moral courage to deal with the foes Of uniOniSm
and democracy.
We desire for ourselves and our children to
keep open opportunities for continuous progress
and intellectual freedom. We know that these
opportunities will continue available only as we
use them with wisdom and concern for the con-
sequences Of decisions upon others.s
Self-discipIine is essential for the maintenance
of democratic institutions and is vitality essential
to unionism
New unions are suddenly conscious Of the
great power that exists in any organized group
That power, if wisely directed brings continuous
progress. Used for selfish interests and for dem
onstrations Of power, it invites repressons and
curbs.
In this time of worldwide peril to the cause
of human freedom, it is fitting for revival OF
unionsm and individual determination to put the
cause Of human freedom above all other consid-
erations We can keep our hard-earned oppoI-
tunites for freedom by the dignity and integrity
with which we keep the trust that democracy
implies.
Let me commend to you the last message to
trade unionists by the founder Of our movement
Samuel Gompers:
'Say to them that as | kept the faith ] expect
they will keep the faith. They must carry on
Say to them that a union man carrying a card
cannot be good citizen unless he uphoIds Amer
lean institutions, and he is a poor citizen if he
upholdS American institutions and forgets his OBJ
legations to his trade associations"

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. - With

Texas A & NJ fullback. signed fol-
the 1871 season. Douglas c. Hertz
owner of the New York Yankees
of the struggling American Pre-
Football League. today challenged
the long-standing pre-eminence Of
the National Football League but
at the same time left the door
open for cooperation.
"In the interest of the sport
ing public, 1 believe II IL neces-
sary for the two leagues to get
together and operate under
single set Of rules" Hertz said
after signing Kimbrough.
"They have taken the attitude
that we are outlaws. Their at
titude Is natural. The National
League is an old and well-estab-
lished circuit and Is making
money. They have a large in
vestment and are anxious TO
protect their investment.
Being a member of the new

would be presumptuous for me
to make the first move toward
getting together with the Ma
tional League crowd"
