GRAND JUNCTION. Tenn, Marck
5.-Peerless Par, a setter owned by
r. z. Rookie of woodsboro, Tex, and
Norias Aerofiow. a pointer owned by
w. c. Teagle of New York, moved
into the spotlight of the national
field trials today. Both were down
for morning runs.
Their work was watched the closer
because of the strong championship
bids made by Ariel and War Admiral,
pointers in yesterdays afternoon
heat.
Ariel, one of the three entries Of
A. G. G. Sage of New York. showed
ability to run, hunt, find and handle
game in a brilliant race most i'm
pressive during its first two hours.
He was credited with five bevy finds.
The Admiral, entry of DR.. Thomas
G. Jones of Chicago, finished strong
ly, scoring all his bevy finds in the
last hour and eight minutes.
Followers noted the two, along
with Bobbitt's Peerless Pride and
Mercer Millie, earlier performers. as
perhaps the strongest contenders to
date.
Mississippi Broomhill Jake, entry
Of B. C. Goss of Cleveland, Ohio,
found nine bevies yesterday morning,
but dimmed the luster of his work
by showing only fair style and going
out of hands at times. His brace
mate, Mack's Lady Glory, entry Of
G. z. Walker of North Little Rock,
Ark, roamed away from her handler

Eagles and Generals Scramble.
The game between Gonzaga and
Washington-Lee was more OF a
scramble with the eventual loser also
stepping into an early 40 lead with
two baskets by Rod Gaumnitz. Con-
zaga's defense frightened after that,
however. and those were the only
successful floor shots garnered by the
Generals in the entire first half as
the Eagles worked to a 6-5 edge IN
the opening quarter and a l5-9 mar
gin by intermission.
Bernie Nolan with three successive
baskets took a major part In Con-
zaga's early drive and after the half
Center Bob Mulvihill got his eye in
and took over the teams scoring
leadership to run up 13-point total
for the game.
If anything. the Generals played
a better game in the last two periods
than they did the first, but the
Eagles likewise stepped up the pace.
John Grinnell kept his Generals
close with five buckets in the last
two periods but Gonzaga's half-tlme
edge carried it through. Ruoe Nc
Nab, the Virginia schools all-State
forward, was watched closely all
through the game and tailed not a
point. Another usually good player
having an off night was Gonzaga's
Frannie Counselmsn who scored only
one basket and two foul tosses.

In both contests last night the
eventual winners gained most of
their edge in the second half after
being pressed closely all during the
first two quarters.
Landon Quickly Goes to Front.
Crandall Afford and Ted Brawner
supplied a pair of goals to give
Landon a lead right at the start.
Roosevelts more experienced and
faster team overcame that to go in
front, 81, at the end of the first
quarter, but 1t didn't clamp lock
on the game until well into the third
quarter, despite its half-time lead
of 20-14.
The game was exceptionally clean
and sharp, with neither team making
many errors or fouls. Only six were
called, three on each team. Landon
converted all its charity tosses and
Roosevelt missed one.
Charley Howard. Roosevelt's
sophomore center, and Frank Ciango,
it's all-high forward, led the early
Rough Rider drive and kept up the
pace during the second half to out
distance Landon. Howard took high
scoring honors with IA points, shad-
ing Ciango who came along with
four field goals in the final half for
13 points. Hymie Perlo also played
q prominent part in the Rider at
tack and counted points.
Playing a particularly good floor
game for Landon was Capt. Paul
Baker. the schools tall center and
one of the leading schoolboy cagers
In the Washington area. All OF
Landon's points were supplied by
three lads-Brawner, Afford and
Baker.

the final period leading, 1918.
Sherwood came back to outscore

.ConleyBoomed For City Clerk
 On GOPTicket

One wing of the Independent Democratic party was today re- ported to be negotiating for pc iitlcal trade whereby 1t would back the Republican ticket In the city election this fall if the G. o. F. agreed to nominate William Zip per" COnley for city clerk and re- nominate COnmlss :oner John J. Kearney for the board of educa- tlOn.
 The negotlators were understood Co have approached both repre- sentatlves of the regular Repub- lican organization and supporters of ex-Mayor Patrick M. PerTlellO, who Is currently the leading con- tender for the nomination for mayor. Thus, far, however, no definite agreement has been reached.
 The terms of the proposed agreement would indicate that Commissioner Kearney has turned down Republican Overtures that he run for mayor. Previously pro- mlnant as an Independent Demo- crat. he was elected to the school board as a Republican two years ago and said recently that he rec gards himself as . Republican.
 The purpose of the Conley nom- ination would be to place him in the campaign against City Clerk Joseph M. Shea, Democrat, in the hope of splitting the heavy Demo. cratic vote in the AbrlgadOr and Washington Hill sections. Mir. Conley, long active an an Inde- pendent Democrat, was one of three candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination for state sem ator In the l6th district last year, He ran third, behind Senator Ed ward F. Egan, the nominee, and ex-Senat0r Joseph IT. Lawlor, but his votes were credited with win ming the nomination for Senator Egan.

Dr. Walker Suggests Congressional
 Probe Of Alleged Racial Prejudice
Negro Troops Training Regarded
 President Petition Send Colored Youths l Northern Camps - Magazine Joins in Protest

An appeal to the citizens of Wa terbury to bring pressure to bear on President Roosevelt and the Con- gress for improvement of the pres- ent treatment of negroes in the United States army has been voiced jointly by Mrs. Leila T. Alexander, director of the Pearl Street Neigh borhood house and by Rev. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Con- gregational church and chairman of the local inter-racial commit tee.
 Both Mrs. Alexander and pr. Walker cite evidence which has reached them from all parts of the country of a present universal pol- icy of segregation of negroes from white drafteeS. This policy they denounce as the very negation of democracy.
 Widespread Evil
 The racial discrimination which they deplore Is Q widespread evil according to reports, but Is particu- larly acute tl1 the south, as might be expected. Both Dr. Walker and Mrs Alexander feel that the removal oi negro troops, particularly those whose homes are in the north, from southern training camps, is most ad- viSable under these circumstances.
 Dr. Walker urges that in view of the frequency of reports of perSecu- ton of negroes, aIid of racial prej- udice against them, a Congressional investigation would be in order.
 Mrs. Alexander, who is well-known in Waterbury for her long years of service at the Pearl Street Neigh borhood house, and her devotion to the solution of social problems, as- sertS that the maintenance of dem- ocratic principles is as important an issue in this country today as is our much-nlore- -publicized foreign policy.
 She urges those persons who are deslrous of doing something to rem- edy the situation to write the Presi- dent and members ef Congress rec ommendtng the removal of negro troops from southern training camps, and the abolition of the pres ent racial segregation in the army.
 To subStantiate this appeal, Mrs. Alexander submits an editorial from the September issue of Opportunity, @ periodical devoted to the interests of the negro in this country, which discusses the present system of dis- elimination.
 Dr. Walkers letter to The Demo- crat reads as follows:

tressed and alarmed, therefore, by reports to the effect that negro soldiers have been subjected to discrimination, segregation, and Intimidation at various times and places, more particularly of re. cent date and in the south.
 We submit that our negro friends who are called up or vol- unteer for the armed forces of Che United States should have the same rights ard privileges as other American citizens. How can we expect our negro fellow-citizens to show any great enthusiasm for the defense of democracy If they are repeatedly denied their just rights? If VIC make a far:e Of democratic rights and privileges, If we deny them to Q great group of our fellow citizens are we not ufl- dermining the morale of both white and negro soldiers.
 More particularly we are inclin- ed to question the wisdom and the justice of sending negro soldiers from the north to army camps and posts in the south. North ern negroes are not accustomed to the jim-crow methods in vogue in the south. Misunderstanding and friction are bound to result. It is surprising that there has not been more trouble than has so far been reported.
 It seems to me that negro troops ought to be removed to northern training camps unless there is some disposition for compromise and adjustment in the south. Of course to be democratic in any decent and honest sense we ought to abolish racial segregation in the army and elsewhere. I suggest that a Congressional investigation
