SOUTHERN PACIFIC R. R.
EXPLAINS NEGRO JOB MOVE:

BIRMINGHAM, July 3O-(AN
P)-S. J. Brown, general agent
here for the Southern Pacific lines
has released the railroads official
statement explaining failure of
the recent caravan Of workers be-
ing sent to work for SPL, on the
Pacific coast. Several hundred
Birmingham Negroes were includ-
ed in the expedition to the far
west.
Railroad officials declared:
Charges Of lack Of work are alb
surd, as the railroad has urgent
need for track workers and there
are jobs for all who will and can
take them"
The roads official statement said:
'"The Southern Pacific paid all
transportation to jobs. Some of
the men explained that they were
not provided with food en- route,
others that the Southern Pacific
did not provide work at destina-
tiOns as promised. Railroad and
commissary officers say that hotel
meals were provided upon arrival

OF the men at Ell Paso and Ogden
and box lunches thereafter, except
at certain important transfer
points, where meals were again
provided"
The statement continued: "Sou-
them Pacific records indicate Is
percent deserving enroute; Is per-
cent refusing to work after they
arrive on the job and 20 percent
quitting after working a short
time" t-
The Southern Pacific said that
Of the $500 workers sent West,
SO percent were Negroes. AS an al
tentative, in settling the dispute,
the company has tried to import
Mexican track workers.
w. H. Kirkbride, chief engineer
for the Southern Pacific, COM
menting on the present situation,
said that in view of the "practi-
cal failure" of the experiment
Chat Of getting workers to the

Satchel Paige Thrills $4,000
Baseball Fans Sunday Afternoon

| boys who lost no time in showing
their superiority both at bat, OF
the mound and afield.
Grand Finale
The grand finale Of the day
however, was furnished by Satchel
Paige himself. After receiving {
large floral offering, many pres
ents, including a watch, a suit OF
clothes, a travelling bag and other
useful articles, and having his say
over the mike, Satchel took the
mound as the Monarch's pitcher
in the nightcap.
Most everybody expects Paige
to- win all his games. But after
the way the Memphis boys has run
over the Monarchs in that first
game, some had doubts that even
a Satchel Paige could stop them.
Added to this was the fact that
Paige's opponent was the great
and youthful southpaW, Verdel
Mathis who, up to Sunday had
had only one loss chalked up a.
gainst him.
Paige Cunning
One of the reasons why Paige
has had such great success as a
pitcher is because Of his amazing
cunning He studies his men al
the plate and he studied the men
on the bases. He soon showed
that he had no fears of the heavy
hitters of the Memphis team,
causing them to pop up fly balls
or roll easy ones to the infielders.
Just to show that he can hit as
well as pitch, Satchel got the very
first hit of his team when he went
up to bat. He later scored the
first Monarch tally Of the second
game as a result Of this hit.
Robbed of ShutOut
Paige held his foemen at his
mercy and would have scored a
shutOut had not the second base
man made wild throw in an at
tempt to make a double play The
ball went way out into right fielcs
over the foul line and struck the
wall. Memphis scored on this mis-
hap and robbed Paige Of a sure
shutOut victory.
Nevertheless, the Monarchs won
the nightcap by 4 to 2 score, and |
everybody went home happy to
have participated in "Satchel Paige
Day" out at Wrigley Field.

Navy Wants
Good Musicians

Lieut.. David N. Goldenson, in
charge Of navy recruiting in the
Chicago area, admitted reluctant
ly yesterday that his office fac
ed a dilemma. -..-
The navy needs % more Ne
gro musicians for a band for col
ored naval units but is having
difficulty finding them. eve have
interviewed at least 100 prospec-
tiv players. All can beat out
eight to the bar, boogie-woogie,
or triple tongue on trumpets.
Many can improvise on any tune
after hearing it once. But only
six could read music" Lieut..
Goldenson related sadly.
What we need are men who
can read military marches; we
can't have sailors jitterbugging

There are liberal-minded white
people living in these villages but
continued pressure seems to 81
lence them as far as Negroes are
concerned. Only a few, like the
attorney who appeared in court in

chance Of antagonizing their

Nearly thirty thousand fans
baseball hungry fans-turned out
on last Sunday to pay homage to
the ace pitcher of the Kansas City
Monarchs baseball team, Leroy
(Satchel) Paige. 1t was "Satchel
Paige Day. at Wrigley Field, and
the occasion was fttingly observ-
ed by all who attended the game.
The opening game of the dou-
BILE header saw the powerful
Memphis Red Sox send Hilton
Smith, second best Of the Mon
arch's staff, to the showers with a
barrage of hits along about mid
way the fracas. It also saw the
MISUNDERSTANDING Moss hold the
heavy hitters Of the Monarch team
almost helpless until the late in
nings OF the game, when they were
able, by hard work and good luck
10 chalk up three markers to add
10 their lone score made in an
early frame Of the game.
This fellow Moss truly was a
master on the mound, and seldom
found himself in trouble. But all
OF the credit must not go to him
for the 10 to defeat he handed to
the naughty Monarchs, for he re-
ceiVed superb support. J.
The Memphis infeld clicked like
a well regulated clock, and as for
the outfield, it lacked very little of
being perfect Especially good
was the centerfelder who ran wild
all over the lot to snare what to
many seemed to be sure its tc
the outfield. Once he ran from
deep center to left field to snare
a long fly ball that should have
been caught by the left fielder.
In that first game the Monarchs,
who boast some Of the heaviest
mace Wielders in the circuit, look !
ed like a bunch of helpless kids
against the powerful Memphis

Parkfairfax, a nine-square develop
ment of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. in Northwest Alexan-
dria, were issued this week, A. r.
Lash, city building inspector, an
nounced.
The permits provide for the con-
struction of five two-story buildings
of % units and seven two-story
apartments of 40 units in blocks
four and six. These will cost $146,244
and $229,398, respectively.

will cost $500 900, Mr.. Lash said.
Contractors are Starrett Bros. &
Eken. He said construction was well
under way on the first seven blocks,
but added that the occupancy date
would depend on how soon interior
fittings could be secured under Gov
eminent priorities Construction on
the last two blocks is expected to be-

at any point. A good coat OF paint
will protect the wood from deterior-
alton and make shovel and rake
handles and the wheelbararow last
much longer. Store these all in a
dry, cool place so next spring will
find them ready for action.
Take Care Of Equipment.
BE q miser with all your equip
ment which makes your garden
grow. Save the flower pots, the
stakes, roll up the wire edging that
protects the seedlings as well as the
labels. Mend the watering can with
soft plugs. Paint it inside and out to
preserve it.
Put up two wooden pegs on the
wall and place the hose over the
pegs to prevent sharp bends. Tape
worn spots and give the whole thing
a coating of rubber preservative to
keep it safe.
All these odds and ends take time.
But materials and new equipment
will be at minimum next spring.
The garden will be more interesting
than ever as we will all spend SO
much time at home, so plan now to
make next summers garden enjoy
able.

Bv MARGARET NOWELL.

It's time to put the garden to
bed for the winter. The sunny
week end after the first frost makes
everything look forlorn and pathetic.
A good cleanup with rake and wheel
barrow will clear out all the debris
SO you may make your. plans for
next summer.
Cut off dead stalks on the peren-
mails. Trim them down to within
inches Of the ground. The an
nuals that are dead after the frost
should be pulled up by the roots
and burned along with the peren-
NAL stalks and leaves. The ashes
of all of them may be shoveled back
into the garden to add a bit OF
food to next years garden.
Edge the flower beds with the
edging tools to make it look neat
and shipshape. Rake over the sur
face of the beds to form a uni
form top so gullies will not develop
during rains or when the snow
melts this winter. Shrubbery or
rose bushes may need to be mulched.
Fallen leaves, fertilizer and straw
may be used to give the necessary
protection from freezing and thaw-
ing.
.Spade-in Fertilizer.
1t is good plan to spade-in fer
tilizer in the fall so it will have
become thoroughly rotted by the
time spring planting is due. This
is also the time to set bulbs and
move shrubbery to new location.
All these things will make the
spring garden work much easier.
1t also gets perennials and shrubs
nicely settled in the new location
before it is time for them to start
growing.
Walls, steps and walks should
have general checkup. A brick
or two out of place permits water
to seep under the walk with con-
siderable damage from frost be-
fore spring. A wall that needs re-
pair will be practically demolished
if permitted to go over the winter.
All these small items keep the
yard in good order until the grass
grows green again. A yard that is
brown and unkept from frost is
sorrowful enough, but broken walls,
uneven walks and the odds and ends
that collect when the fall winds
blow make an unhappy picture to
contemplate from the house.
Inspect Garden Drains.
The garden drains should be in
spected and cleaned of leaves and
debris, so that water run-of will be
assured all winter. Gutter drains
from the roof also should have at
tention to prevent roof water from
washing out the garden.
When everything out-of doors Is
in good order it would be wise to
give the garden tools little atten-
ton. Tools of all types are valuable
these days and yours may be all you
can get for the duration. Clean
all the metal parts thoroughly. Steel
wool and kerosene will remove rust
after the dirt has been loosened
with water. Clogged grease and Oil
may be cleaned from moving parts
with kerosene. A good grade of
machine oil should be used for the
lawn mower and the clipping shears.
Wooden handles should be taped
if they are cracked or appear weak
