If Bob Repass doesn't improve

Mats may be forced to dispatch Scout
Joe Cambria to Guatemala or
Borneo in search OF a capable short
stop specimen. And if Cambria re-
turns with something that wears a
bone in his hair and plays in bare
feet Grif1th by that time never
theless may be inclined to grant him
trial.
Repass' complete collapse is one
of the more battling items in con-
nection with the hapless Mats. Those
who viewed The smooth, effortless
action of Repass in Florida are re-
questing another introduction, for
Bob isn't resembling the fellow they
met. He is good player playing
horribly, but it's a question of how
far Grifith and Manager Bucky
Harris win be content to string
along with him.
Bob is an intelligent. wise-crack-
ing, nonchalant fellow who Is giving
opportunity a neat kicking around.
A sensation In the South, he thus
far has fizzled in the Mats early
games, batting .219, committing six
errors in IL games. participating in
only two double plays and forcing
First Baseman Mickey Vernon to
rescue him from numerous errors.
He was labeled a better shortstop
by Harris than last years improved
edition of Cecil Travis. who was
giving the Mats a steady brand of
fielding. He'll make more plays
than Travis" predicted Harris, who
now is seeing Repass merely make
more bad plays.
Harris wasn't taking an optimistic
outlook, though, for Repass' flne
Florida play wasn't the fabrication
of reporters imaginations. Bob was
covering a sizable chunk of geog-
raphy, throwing accurately and
making enough hits to be stamped
as a tolerable sort of batter.
Newsom Also Disappointing.
There is no assurance Repass will
snap out of it, but off what he
showed in exhibitions Harris hope
fully is bearing with him in the de-
lightful dream that he'll revert to
his Florida form. Harris hasn't
much alternative, what with the
notoriously weak : hitting Jimmy
Pofahl as his only shortstop replace
ment.
Sandwiched between the Cuban
Roberto Estalella and the Mexican
Jose Gomez, Repass has been dis
playing his own version of the
rhumba on grounders. Normally a
relaxed but alert performer, Bob
currently is taut. He is pressing"
and it's affecting his play.
RepaSs merely is one of the Mats
more damaging disappointments.
however, for burly Buck Newsom is
reaping no gobs of glory with his
pitching. Until Buck proves other
wise he must be fndexed as ex-
excellent pitcher, for he's being
hammered hard and frequently.
Buck has hurled 81 innings for
the Mats, permitting n hits in stag
gering TO one victory in three starts.

ember 26. Robinson was rushed
to the King County Emergency

were taken over his left eye, and
examination showed a fractured

The accident occurred at twenty

twenty mile driving zone where
it seems that fifty miles is the
very least the average motorist
can do. Robinson said that he
looked in both directions before
starting across the street and saw
no car of any kind and that the
young man must have been ira
yelling at a tremendous rate of
speed to be upon him so quickly.
Robinson was confined at the King

entertained the delegates to the

Forensic Contest at the College.
Throughout Saturday the prelim-
mary competition was held, elm
mating debate teams and contest
ants in oratory and extemporane-

The debate teams from Mary

a member on their team, Miss
Ruth Robinette, a Negro girl en-
rolled at the school in Spokane.
During the competition of the
day the team of which she was a
member competed in five debates,
winning all five of the contests.
The finals were held on Satur-
day night at the Y. L. /. Club
house at 18th and Spring Streets.
The teams drew lots as to the
side, affirmative = or negative, of
the question they would debate
and Holy Rosary High School of
Seattle chose the affirmative side
and the Mary Cliff High School
therefore, had to take the negative
side of the question. After having
debated the affirmative side of
the question all day, Miss Robin
cite was called upon to debate the
negative side of the question at
the finals on Saturday night.
At the Saturday night session
of the contest, Miss Robinette and
her teammates were up against a

Red Cross Reveals Whites Blood

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The recur-
rent flare-ups in various cities, re-
/ Gently, when Negroes. responding
to the call of the Red Cross for
blood donors, found that the blood
of Negro people was not desired
or accepted, have brought forth
an explanation.
Evidently some misguided bour-
bons felt that the injection of
processed Negro blood into their
sons veins might change their ra-
cial identity. In any event, the
army and navy for whom the Red
Cross. was collecting the blood, is
sued a memorandum to the effect
that only blood of white people
would be acceptable.
The Red Cross, faced with the
task of informing Negroes who
wish to donate their blood, that it
is not desired, issued a memoran-
dunn on the subject.
