MAJOR LEAGUES
By MABE K0UNTzE

A little white boy watched me lace
on my battered spiked shoes last week.
The youngsters mind was filled with
hero worship of Ted Williams, the Di-
Maggie Brothers, and Jimmy Foxx.
Baseball shoes are seemingly a sign
f something "extra special" to the
average red blooded boy, for when I
completed my ceremony the little
boy gazed with marked admiration
and asked a question that was stag
gering in its blue eyed honesty.
Master" asked that year old boy,
Master, are you in the Major
Leagues ?"
Now, 1 am definitely of sun-tan of
kind and quality that won't rub off.
This year am more sun-tanned than
ever.
But our little white chap didn't care
about color.

DIAMOND DOPE

BALTIMORE, Md.-Here am back
after weeks absence. We will Just
call it my vacation although it wasn't
much to rave about. When Saturday
rolls around your man Lefty will be
rolling into Briggs Stadium, Detroit,
for a doubleheader against the Grays
This will mark the first time that
league clubs had access to this fine
park. Nothing would please me more
than to engage in doubleheader this
summer in Fenway Park.
This corner must first give the east
a twenty gun salute for defeating the
west most decisively by the wide score
of 81 before the unheard-of crowd of
$4,000. The report comes in that thou
sands were turned away, putting the
colored classic on par with the white
all-star game. Dependable Buck Leon
ard, first baseman for the east, poled
a home run to thrill the overflow crowd.
Buck, like "Mule" Suttles in other
years, can almost always be depended
upon to thrill, in the all-star games.

Rockingham Riffs
By "TRIUMVIRS"

Going into the second week of the
18 day summer card at Rockingham
keeps New England an all time high
spot for Americas horse racing fans.
Narragansett and Suffolk tracks pro
vided the build-up and the far-sighted
Granite state racing moguls are point
ing the way to a great triumph. Tour
lists from all sections of the nation,
together with bangtail devotees of the
Northeastern range are making the
turnstiles click like the running brook.
They crowd clubhouse, grandstand,
paddock and the rail like nobody's
business.
Saratoga's mammoth racing en-
porium also is going strong, but Rock
ingham apparently does not feel the
keen competition. The "spa" is a
worldwide horse-racing tradition, yet,
there is a don't care expression on Lou
Smiths managerial countenance. The
fans are getting their moneys worth
and more to boot as they breathe the
free mountain air. Everything is on
tap, even the Yankee drawl of New
Hampshire's home folk. The Upper
over-hawled farmers and their country
gals can be seen in the surging lines
leading to the windows buying tote
tickets. They stack their lunches like
old timers, who cram their tips on long
shots as we'll as favorites. Inside in
formation is a "scimption" and not
"by-play" when they calculate the
tote-board flashes. 1t is all in a day
to them, leaving the plough and harrow
as secondary consideration. Mixing
with the people of racedom is their
whole hearted desire.
If one seems to see a disinterested
spectator, don't be surprised to learn
that the governor is also taking a
squint at the races. Every angle of
horse-racing is covered from start to
finish at what was known in days of
yore as one of the most famous horse
trotting and harness tracks in Amer
lea. Now it is one of New England's s
leading horse-racing meccas.
On with the races: Horses to watch
next week and TODAY. YOUR BID,

It looks like additional taxation on
dog and horse racing in Massachusetts,
is legislative dream. Leaders Of old
age organizations have put their
thumbs down on this gesture to in
crease these payments from dog and
horse track revenues. The heat was
on for long period, but apparently
has cooled off. 1t may get hot again
A soldier of fortune, we'll known tc
bangtail racing fans, is alleged to be
casting his eyes on widow, who re-
Gently inherited $4,000. His flow Of

he lands the prize. He could buy

sensational one hundred and forty
pound Skinny Barnhill. When six and
one half innings were completed the
Cubans had one hit and no runs and
the Elites, no hits and no runs. Mgr.
Snow opened the seventh with walk
and all-star left fielder, Bill Hoskins
lined a triple to the right-feld wall
and first sacker Washington singled
Hoskins for the second run and the
game, the nal score being 20. The
Elites got two hits and the Cubans
four. Barhill struck out IA Elites.
I've noticed that the annual old
timers game was played the goth. Pm

or not every one had a nice time be-

myself no end. The one person that l
know that everyone will miss will be
Nose Sisco who passed one. Nose
always looked forward to playing in
these games and everyone expected to
see him perform as he was the most
colorful of all the New England play
ers.
The Elite Giants were supposed to
play in Lynn last Wednesday but the
western trip forced a cancellation until
a later date. Watch for this as all-star
players Byrd, Hoskins, and Campa-
nella, will be in the lineup.-LEFTY.

POWERHOUSE PAXTON SMACKS
OUT HOMER AS SCHEMERS WIN


Charlie "Hepped" Holmes, newest
recruit right-felder of the Hep Cats
softball team made mighty lunge but
in vain for the ball was out of his
reach and ''Powerhouse Paxton circled
the bases for a homer with two men on.
The final score, Schemers 10, Hep Cats
6.
The game took place July % at
Carter Playground. In the first inning
the Hep Cats with Dynamite Desuze
leading the artillery, started off with
a bombardment scoring four runs.
However, the Hep Cats mass assault
was short-lived for the Schemers
counter attack was soon under way
and with a great defense behind their
pitcher, Jimmy "Speedball" Jones, the
Schemers more than held their own.
Returning to the Hep Cats line up
was Wilbur Pinckney, star first and
second baseman, also Charlie Holmes
who is vacationing in Boston. Holmes
is one of the country's leading saxa-
phonists, formerly playing with Louis
Armstrong. He has the potentialities
of great softball player and it is
expected that he will greatly strength
en- the Hep Cats team.

CAMBRIDGE-Rapid Ray Guild,

Because of the National Defense,

FIGHT TOGETHER

There never can be any race riots
where the races mingle with inteIli
gence and understanding.
The main weakness of our democ.
racy has been the tendency of those
in power to prevent the mingling NJ
the races until a time of emergencv
such as the present.
One of the ironies of this present
crisis is the fact that Hank Greenberg
and other major league stars NAV rub
shoulders in the U. S. Army with col.
ored boys who never could become
major league players although thew
were just as good as Greenberg and
all the rest.
In other words, colored and white
men are expected to fight together but
not to play together!

0KAY WITH KIDS

Well, 1 started to tell the paleface
youngster that colored men could not
play in the Major Leagues. I felt
like making a speech about it.
But l didn't. He was only little
bambino. So far as he was concerned
colored men OUGHT to plav in the
Major Leagues and so far as I am con-
cerned it is best that the younger gen
erations keep on believing that colored
men OUGHT to play in the Major
Leagues.
Such beliefs are good for the soul of
American Democracy.
The Major League color ban is very
unpopular with the younger (white)
generations l have come across. They
can't understand it.
The only people who understand
the Major League color ban are GER
tain "adult minds" who teach the
younger generations the same things
that Hitler teaches the Nazi nations.
Race hatred.
But for these "adult teachings" it
would be all right with the white kids
if cOlored kids shared equally in our
democracy.
