MISSoURPS DISGRACE
Kansas City journal

In Sikeston. Mo-, a Negro who
had attempted an attack on a
white woman was shot and grave
ly wounded by police officer. He
was placed in Jail and confessed
the crime. There was every evid-
ence that he would meet justice
at the hands of the law.
A cowardly mob of 800 broke
into the Jail, seized the Negro and
dragged him through the streets.
His clothing was saturated with
gasoline and the mob triumphantly
looked on while his body burned.
AS long as this lynching goes
unpublished, the state of Missouri
has no right to boast that it is
one of 48 states participating in
an international crusade for de-
cency and justice. Hitler can sneer
at our hypocrisy and we can only
bow our head in shame.
TWO CRIMES AT SIKESTON
st. Louis Post-Dispatch
There was little question as to
the guilt of Cleo Wright, 30-year-
old Negro, who was dragged from
the Jail, drenched with gasoline
and burned to death on street in
Sikeston recently. Authorities say
the paroled convict admitted stab
bling soldiers wife in her home,
as another woman fled in terror.
With a second knife, he slashed
and seriously injured Sikeston
policeman who arrested him. AS
there were witnesses, the attacker
doubtless would have been con-
victed and speedily required to pay
the full penalty of the law.
But this probability, however
strong, can be no justification for
the lawlessness and brutality of
the Sikeston mob. That, as Gov.
Donell said in immediate condem-

 MEETS SID WOOD
Francisco Segura South= amptOn's Star Opponent
 in Round Robin Today

Southampton, N. Y, July 31.- (UP)-Sidney B. Wood. Jr., of Southampton and Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Cal, both with divisional titles apparently clinched, meet their most formidable opponents to- day in the Meadow Clubs round robin tennis tournament.
 Wood won the group two title yes- terday and Schroeder went so far ahead he all but clinched the group one championship.
 Wood plays Francisco Segura of Ecuador today and Schroeder meets Ladislav Hecht, former Czechoslo- vakian champion now registered from New York.
 Wood, former Wimbledon titlist, beat Billy Talbert of Cincinnati, 6-2, 8-6, for his fourth consecutive straight-set victory yesterday. The title went to Wood when Segura was forced to three sets by Seymour Greenberg of ChicagoJ, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Segura has won three of his four matches but even a straigt set vic- tory today would leave him behind Wood.
 Hecht, upset by Charles Matt mann of Forest Hills, 6-4, 6-3, main- tained a slim mathematical chance of nosing out Schroeder. Schroeder beat Alejo Russell of Argentina, 6-2, 60, and leads Hecht in net sets, 7-3 and in net games, 33-15. Hecht must limit Schroeder to three games in two sets today to win the group one title.
 The leaders of the two groups play in tomorroW's final.

PACN SHEA OUT
 AS TRIBES BOSS

Last night Mgr. Packy Shea an- hounced his resignation as manager of the Tribes, with Johnny Rock scheduled to take over the reins. Just who will be in uniform for the Tribes Sunday contest will be ehld until game time but it is expected that Fred Jacavino will chuck for the Tommies with Mike Pisani do- ing the catching.
 The Overlooks, coming back last week to pin back the Hearts after dropping a heartbreaker to the Brooklyn A. C., will again hold down the feature game spot, this time meeting the Washington Hills. The Looks are the best hitting team of the circuit this year by 8 wide mar gin with two of the clubs stickers boasting averages over the 400 mark. Bob Malone, one of the leagues leading hurlers, will toe the slab for the Banzigermen while Red Gladney of the Hills will probably send Handsome Patty Quilter out. The Looks pulled a 7-6 affair out of the fire in the first meeting of the clubs as the Looks came up with four tallies in the ninth.
 The feature of the second diamond will show the Sacred Hearts and Mill Plain clashing at o'clock, with Lefty Colopinto slated for duty with the Hearts while Jack Thompson will go for the plainers.
 Danny Grump and Eddie Di- Napoli, co-handlers of the league leading Brooklyn A. O., expect little or no opposition from the Avigs in the opening contest of the day on diamond No. 1. The boys from across the bride will in all probabil- ity send Teddy Grabeck to the hill with Mike Haiday behind the bat. Angelo Basile will go for the Avigs with Phil Masi catching.
 The Tribes were given the oppor- tunity to replace their "profes- sionals" during the week, but thus far no announcement as to new players has come from the Baldwin street club.
 Four games are on the schedule Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park in the weekly City Amateur league get-together, but just how many will be placed Is 8 question a lot of peo- pie are asking.
 The Tribune A. C.. who dropped 8 90 forfeit decision to the Avigli- anese a week ago for failure to field full team, is slated to take on the the North End Thomas club in the opening game of the day on diamond No. 2, but whether the Tribes will

 The Tribes lost four standout per- formers two weeks ago when Bobby Ray, Billy Moore, Razor Doran and Irv Pichette performed with the Davi Brasscos and were later barred from further competition in the loop. The following Sunday the team, under Packy Shea, had tough time rounding up nine eli- gible men to play, but after forty minutes of anxiety 8 ninth per- former did show up and the sched- uled game with the Mill Plain A. c. went on with the Tribes pulling out a 10-1 decision. Last week the club was slated for a contest with the Aviglianese, but only eight eligible men showed up and the game there fore went to the Avigs by default. During the past week another Tribe star, Catcher Billy Petrillis, left the club and poined the Brasscos, ada ing another name to the list of in- eligibles.
