On the home front, as was the case
in baseball this Summer, Mr..

operate the Globetrotters this COM

WEIGH added the team would be
called together in few weeks and
it figured to be squad in keeping
with famed Globetrotter tradition.
While the Army and defense work
have taken a number of the Trot-
ters' standbys of recent years,
SaperStein has the nucleus of
another great squad and has his
eyes on several new outstanding
prospects.
However" WEIGH said, "this
will be a good time for players of
ability to contact us as the battle,
for positions will be wide open. All
requests should be sent to 1872 N.

Saperstein or myself, and we will

stern action. Unpires were not ro-
tated. Teams kicked on some, and
they weren't sent there. All bad
stuff.
Baseball in the plant league the
past season was played on a semi
plus-pro basis rather than as eth

siona1-minded players, some with
doubtful status in the league, found
way to appear in ineupS.
The league was corrupted to the
use of those VINO have shown no
healthy interest inthe development
of baseball. Such hook-ups are
harmful to all forms Of baseball
and should be eliminated next year
There should be no triple status
players, who on Saturday are semi

TO back up the advisory COM

members at-large, namely, l.. F.
Berry, of L. and NJ; Sam Miller

Before getting away from base

information: Most if not all, the

Burton, ex-Black Baron tWirler, is
the most improved team in the

It's team of youngsters. 1t rep

encouraged to go in for baseball

Plan Merger
Of Tennis
Association

ORANGEBURG S. G. - (SNS>
A new enthusiasm has come in the
s. nth Carolina Tennis Association
which is a member Of the American
Tennis Association. This enthusi-
asm has resrl'ed from p opos9 Is of
a me ger of S0uth Carolina, North
Carolina and Virginia.
The South Caorlina Tennis AS
ISOLATION became a member of the
American Tennis Association in
1886 at Wherefore University
Chic, and in two years through the
support and encouragement receiv-
ed by the administration at Caro-
lira State College and the active
participation of clubs at Columbi'
Charleston, Oarngeburg, Camden,
Spartanburg, Greenville, Rockhill,
voorhees, and Sumter; champions
in the junior divisions were devel-
oped.
In 1899 at New York, Robert
Ashford, Booker Washington High
student at that time, and now a
sophomore at South Carolina State
CO llege became New York State
Open Junior Champion. III 1910
at Wilberforce, Ashford became
National Junior doubles champion.
At the Silver Jubilee Of the
American Tennis Association held
in A gust 1941 at Tuskegee, John
Rhodes, Jr., of Orangeburg became
National Roy Champion. Other
players, all juniors or boys Which
have gained 8 national rating since
1885 when the state association was
organized include: Carl Williams,
Orangeburg; Robert Clagett,
Orangeburg; William McTeer,
Orangeburg; Charles Lewis, Jr,
Orangebu 6; Walter Palmer, LYDIA
Bell Green, Kathryn Neal, Vivian
Russell, Katherine Watson of Co
lumbia and Roslyn Daniels and

At Lincoln University in Penny
sylvania proposal to merge into
state associations in groups of three
to p ovide for more effective Sec
tional associations was favorably
discussed with leaders from South
Carolina, North Carolina and Vr-
ginia.
Now under way is a plan to have
clinic, tournament, exhibition and

If plans are carried through there
will be greater activity in tennis in

A BIG JOB


Actually executing the reform
program voted by the YMCA In
dustrial League is going to be a
big job for the advisory commit
tee. Greed, corruption and evils
are not easily uprooted.
It will take courage for them to
do what is necessary to clean up
the umpire situation. They have
all of the facts needed for either
guidance Or correction. They can
find a cure for corruption, but as
for greed, it is simply unbeatable
and incurable, as my essays on
greeditarianism at Parker High
School have shown. The men of
greed will have to be thrown out
of the league into something by
themselves where they can eat
each other up.
Umpires have often complained
to me, and diseased others with
their infections, about partiality in
assignments. I went SO far as to
hint one of the general complaints,

of the complaint, that there was
bit of irregularity growing out Of
a rather poor, lax and unsoientific
system of umpire appointment.
Later on, I gather, umpries re-
sorted to bringing badly influence
ed pressure to bear on those handl-
ing the assignment of arbiters, and
that, in one instance, a certain
umpire went to his duties more
than once breathing alcohol.
Some of the umpireS have proved
their lack of equipment, mental,
physical and emotional, ever to
make good arbiters. Rather than
progress, a few who possess the DO
tential qualifications, have soothed
on their fading prestige.
League officials are guilty of
backing away from duty when in
the face of these evils. they vast
