Frances underground army has

Mr.. Cot claims, first because the

Joe Louis Sends Radio Message To Nations Mothers
Second Guessers Rate
Barnhill Over Satchel

Impo Barnhill, mound ace OF the
Cuban tars, is ranked by experts
as pitcher who is better than Le-
Roy (SatcheD Paige was in the tall
Alabamisn's best days. Which is
quite record.
But Barnhill has established him
self with the experts and fans with
his sterling performances during
the past two years. In that time
ne has been one OF the most talked
about pitchers in Negro baseball.
However, he will need all OF his
cunning and diamond craft when
he faces the Baltimore Elites at
Briggs Stadium. Sunday, June 7, in
one game of the doubleheader. The
Elites are one Of the strong teams
in the Negro National league.
The return OF Bill Fright, fleet
outhelder, and Sammy Hughes, rat
ed as the peer OF second basemen,
has bolstered the Baltimore team
and made OF them one OF the seri-
Gus contenders for the champion
ship in the league.
Wright is not only a crack out
fielder, but he's one of the best hit
tiers in the circuit. He's a power
hitter who rates along with Josh
Gibson and Buck Leonard, those
mighty batters OF the Homestead
Grays.
The return OF Hughes permits
Manager FELTON, Shows return to
his old position at third base. This
change will add fielding strength
70 the Elite inheld.
The game will also produce
lively battle between two OF the
best shortstops in Negro baseball
Henry Butts, Elites, and Martinez.
Cuoans. Martinez was selected as
a member of the East All-Star team
in the East-West game last year.
This selection was made on expert
ence as Butts, only 20 years Of age,
