with anything less than $780,

kept the two teams apart since
Memorial Day. In IL outings
this season, the Dodgers won six
and the Giants five. Whitlow
Wyatt will be Brooklyn's start
ing pitcher for this evenings
joust, which opens a four-game
series.
The Giants helped the Dodg-
ers preserve their nine game
lead yesterday by splitting
doubleheader with the second
place st. Louis Cardinals, which
is all the Dodgers could do with
the Chicago Cubs.
1t took the Dodgers ten in
nings to turn back the Cubs, 5-4,
in the first game. Pete Reiser
hoisted long fly with the bas-
cs loaded to decide the issue.
In the second game, Claude Pas
seau pitched the Cubs to TO
triumph, but he had to have
help in the ninth when the
Dodgers rallied for three runs.
Carl Hubbell pitched the Gil
ants to a IL decision over the
Cardinals for his fifth straight
win as Mel OFT blasted two
home runs, one with the bases
liaded. Then Mort Cooper tossed
four-hitter at the Giants and
the Cards won, 3a2.

with the Boston Braves. AL Jaw

The Pittsburgh Pirates dump

In the American League, the
New York Yankees downed the

run in the second, another was
added in the eighth off Dottie
MacDonald's and Ferris con-
secutive doubles. Smilnak struck
out 10 batters, Cent? eight.
Billy Cent? and Harrington

with 500 marks in four trips
while Tenniswood and Bricker
both had one for one figures for
the losers.

A Resident AnS1gerS Back To
Trouble In Highland Park
Cause of Youth Is Championed As Adults
And Columnist Are Taken To Task
By DR.. Richard S. McGhee

In a letter to John Wood, Michi.
Gan Chronicle feature writer, DR.
Richard S. McGhee, Highland Park
physician gives a residents explain.
alton of Trouble in Highland Park"
which has been running in series for
the past five weeks.
The letter, printed below, supports
the views Of the writer OF the ar
uclcs and makes some points not
brought out in the series.
Dear Mr.. Wood:
In your articles Trouble in High
land Park" much has been writ
ic7 about the youth of our COM
munity, holding them up to the
readers of your paper as being a
gang Of "jitterbugs" hoodlums or
what-nots, organized for community
destruction and devastation. Parts
Of some Of your articles are true
but other parts are fiction.
As one of the property owners
and taxpayers of this community
Of which you write | wish to cham.
pion the cause of our over publ
clzed youth.
First we take it fro granted that
the referred TO Highland Park"
is that portion bounded on the east
by Hamilton avenue and on the
west by 18th street; on the north
by Kendall avenue and on the
south by Dawson. Within this space
are many youths who are bound
together by blood ties and inter-
marriages of families within this
space. Again, the composition OF
our community is made up mostly
Of parents and grandparents from
The eight Southern states and their
offspring in this .neighborhood
have much in common so this would
constitute an organization of youth
Like All Other Youth
Their dress is like that OF the
youth of the area found anywhere
in the United States OF America
colored or white Their actions
are mostly mschievous with only
a few exceptions which are prompt
ly handled by the authorities of the
law and no organized gang destruc.
ton has occurred in many years
in The Park" as is reported in
St Claire Shores and the Chene
Steet district
Fighting is an occasional factor
among our youth because they are
mostly inter-related Very. very
few serious accidents are the out
growth OF such fights but like your
self and myself am our elders we
have all, especially those from the
city, banded ourselves together at
one time or another 10 prevent in
trusion of outsiders into our neigh
borhoods seeking girl companion
ship and this should not be any
cause for the "alarmist."
Whereast the presence OF Negro
policemen in this community or
any community for that matter
would not be resented I disagree
with you that it would solve any
problem. II you don't think that
the Petosky and Highland Park
police don't know what fe trouble
makers that might appear occasion
ally in this district. you Just go to
these stations and get educated as
! did when first entered this COM
munity.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE
TO MEET IN BAL |MORE

TUSKEGEE. fANP)-Baltimore
has been selected as the conven-
ton city for 1913 for the National
Negro Business league The dates
are August 25, 26, and q
This oction was taken by the
steering committee in its meeting
held at Tuskegee on Monday,
Nov, %
Concerning the 1913 convention
there was full discussion as to the
advissbility otholding the meeting
due to the limitations OF travel by
rail and automobile. 1t was decid-
ed, however, that since the league
has a definite contribution TO make
towards the prosecution Of the war,
the holding the convention would
expedite the leagues wartime
service end detectives.
In connection with the proposed
nation vide observance OF the an
niversary Of Booker T. Washing
toms birthday in April, 1913, DR.. j.
E. Walker, president Of the league
and president Of the Universal Life
Insurance company, exhibited the
1913 calendar just released by Uni
versal Life in which Booker T.
Washington. birth date is con-
spcuousiy printed. This was done
in response to a suggestion offered
az a previous committee meeting
BY S. B Fuller. regional vice-presi-
dent and president OF the Chicago
Negro Chamber OF Commerce, that
all Negro concerns which have
calendars printed to emphasize
April 5 as the league founders
birthday
Three Good Suggestions
Following the suggestion OF Ros-
coo c. Dunjee. steering committee
member and editor OF the Black
Dispatch OF Oklahoma City, rhe
group expressed unanimous opin-
ion that Negroes. now engaged in
war industries, should invest in
war bonds, and in farm lands and
city property
Many Of our people" said Mr..
Dunjee. who have beer-on relief
rolls are now making from $50 to
500 a week These people should
be encouraged 10 make at least a
down p1ymen; on hone and pay
the balance as rent instead OF
throwing money away as many are
now dong
Upon motion Of G. D. Rogers, re
gional vice-president and president
OF the Central Life Insurance com
pany Of Tampa, Fla a committee
composed OF President Walker, DR..
Patterson, Mr. Duniee, Mr.. Rogers
and Mr.. Holsey was appointed to
draft such statement for release.
Srch a statement will also include,
upon recommendation OF Mrs. Peck,

consumer cooperatives and plan
whereby the league may serve as

TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

Please permit the Office of the
Michigan Chronicle to make a cor
recuon. On November 81. 1912 the
Chronicle ran a picture stating that
Mrs Mamie Spann had entertain
ed a character of the rorgy and
Ress play. The above statement
was not true. Mrs. Layivian SIM
mons was the person responsible
for the entertainment. The Chron-
icle j. glad to rectify this error.

tscks in the various churches about
the street corner gambling, Strange
10 say, there were no political voic-
es raised against these practices and
only very light religious denuncis-
ton, but il was the participants
themselves who decided TO take
their games elsewhere, and the
scourge came from the residents and
not those engaged in gambling on
the corners. Thanks to time that
these practices lave been erased.
Takes Columnist TO Task
Third, there is our news column
Highland Park"-strictly a class
distinction and an attempt at social
levels, or our five churches with
h a radius OF four square blocks
more distant reader would think
or be led to believe that only one
church existed. Many births,
Deaths and, marriages occur but only
few get special mention.
Our youths sell the Michigan
Chronicle and our youth buy and
read the column and 1t is only re-
Gently that an appeal has been made
to all youth and the exclusives
omitted. Does that have any in
fluence on our youth? Hear their
side of the story. While some
mothers babies never get mention
of ever being born a few mothers
names are always before the public
about their babies, Yet we say the
press is a moulder of sentiment.
Youth an End Product
Fourth. then. it appears that the
youth are used as an end product.
The trouble IN Highland Park, Mr.
Wood, is in the failure of the lead
er TO consolidate, coordinate, and
cooperate wi'N each other for the
sake of well rounded out and pro.
gressive program for the youth.
Lastly, the trouble in Highland
Park is that no common meeting
place is provided for its citizens.
