Homer In LIST and 5 Hits In FL
nal Inning Are Costly. En-
rors Are Helpful.

After almost banking opposing
batters for seven innings Bower
Severt tasted defeat for the first
time Saturday evening when the
powerful club at Fries, in their
own back yard, handed him his
first setback.
Outside of a homer by Sumner,
who was the first man up for
Fries in the initial inning and a
single by Bolton in the second,
no other Fries runners reached
first base on safe hits until the
seventh when Pack singled to
break the ice. The 9Th, however,
was different story. Davis, Sec
ond baseman for Fries, tripled and
was followed with safe bingles
by Fink, Pack, Anders and D.
Hester. BY the time the dust from
this innings bombardment had

cleared from the score board the
Fries boys had collected a total
of 4 runs.
A surprising thing about this
loss was that the Caps massed
II clean hits to only 8 for the OPP
ponents. Bolton did the singing
for Fries and was able to sit only
two Cap batters down for the
three-count, while Severt bested
of the 30 batters to face him.
AS was stated in last weeks pa
per relative to the Wednesday
game with Ivanhoe there, Ray
Blevins pitched no-hit no-run ball
until the final inning when he
was chased for 4 hits and 10 runs.
The Caps were able to out-hit the
opponents but were good for only

DITORTAL~-
The Herman
Lewis Case

Tuesday of last week the Omaha City Council,
after three days of a hectic trial of Herman Lewis
on charges of Interfering with officers and resist
ing arrest, by unanimous vote, dismissed Mr.. Lewis
from the fire department, thus ending his seven
years of service.
The dismissal of Herman Lewis or any other
fireman is not in itself important. But the dismissal
of Herman Lewis because he questioned the right Of
a police officer to invade his home without a warrant
and make an arrest without seeing an offense COM
mitted in his presence, is a violation Of the rules Of
law and Justice.
The evidence in the trial of Mr.. Lewis disclosed
a practice which should be terminated at once.
The unanimous vote against Herman Lewis has
no reasonable explanation; it was brutal; it was I'M
just; it smacks Of COLOR PREJUDICE; it reveals
endorsement of incompetent leadership.
The case should be appealed and every legal
remedy exhausted to right the wrong done Mr. Lew
is by the Council. Indeed the COlored People must
see to it that police officers themselves obey the law:
that they shall not force their way into homes Of
Negroes without legal right and arrest anyone illeg-
ally in their homes or anywhere else. They must see
to it, also, that Nazi Gestapo police methods under
which persons are imprisoned, without right of trial
by a court shall not be permitted here in Nebraska.
Reference was made to this very important principle
of civil liberty by counsel for Mr.. Lewis.
MI. Lewis should pursue every legal remedy I'M
der the constitution and laws. ALI of us should re-
member that the question of civil liberty here involv-
ed is vital and transcends all questions Of jobs inside
the fire department Or our of it.
We WARN THE NEGRO that it is Herman
Lewis today, but it will be someone else tomorrow.
And although the Omaha City Council has brushed
this vital right aside where a Negro was involved,
other Negroes who are not subject to their prejudic-
es. must fight to vindicate the civil rights of a min
GRITTY group.
Here is a fine opportunity for the Omaha
Branch of the NAACP. to Justify its existence.

The actual campaign, in prog
ress during the ten day period of
July 21-30, has drawn excellent
response in the organization stag

Practically every community is

this week.
In a speech at Lincoln Saturday
afternoon, Governor Dwight Girls
void outlined the campaign and
told of Nebraska's part in the Ma

said. "Our surest way to pres

is to be sure that the machines So
sorely needed by Great Britain
reach her"
He told of the organization OF

lined the work this committee has
been doing. He termed the cur

1t was the feeling Of those who
have carried on the fight for an
effective committee that the group
be composed of eminent. cit
lzens, black and white, of such in
dependent character that they
couldn't be inundated by employ
ers, labor or government officials.
For this reason, the suggestion
was urged upon Mr.. Hillman that
If representatives of the two wings
of labor must be on the committee
those representatives should be
Phillip Murray president of the
CLIO. and William Green, President
Of the A. +. Of L. These men. it
wa pointed out, would bring the
prestige Of their offices to the
committee and would compel res
pect in the whole labor movement.
