In that way Commissioner L

throws out the ball; the com
missioner can throw out the
whole ball game.
Anyway, the free-lance sugges
tons as to World Series sites in
clude: Cd Taking the series on a
tour Of the service camps in this
country; 90 Taking the teams
overseas: 80 Playing all the games
in some neutral, centralized spot,
such as Cleveland, and "a Alter
ing the usual schedule so that the
original starting point in case the
teams wouldn't go back to their
series went more than five weeks.
The first proposal is just re-
issue Of suggestion made last
year. Nothing came Of it then,
and more of the same will come OF
it this year.
The idea of taking the series
teams overseas is new this year,
but it has been short circuited by
a decision to take au-star teams
on the trip, the government being
willing. The government has main
tanned discreet silence about
the whole thing except for admit
ting "informal' discussions. That
can mean nearly anything. as is
illustrated in Harvard's plan for
an ''informar' football team. The
boys get acquainted with their
opponents by whistling at them in
stead of waiting for introductions,
no doubt.
As for playing all the games on
neutral field, the idea was to
conserve transportation We don't
think this would work out as IL
stead of having so or SC ball play
ers railroading back and forth
you'd have the St. Louis and New
York fans making the trip to the
neutral ground. and it would be
lot easier to take the games to
the fans than to take the fans to
the games.
They have tried before to curb
travel to sports events but without
much luck. The only successful
effort along those lines was the
Arrny-Navy football game last
year, where by control of the tic
kets the government made trip
to Annapolis useless. Without some
such check the fans are going
where they want to 60 despite
OPA, CPA and XYZ. The various
bowl football games this year and
the Kentucky Derby proved that.
All these ideas for portable
World Series seem destined to re-
main just ideas. The only one of
the above proposals which seems
feasible and that would seem to
have chance of being considered
seriously is the one providing for
only one trip between the two COM
peting cities. no matter how long
the series runs.
That might make it little tough
for one of the towns, as if it was
a seven game series md two games
were played in the opening town,
the other town would get five
games, and if three games were
played in the first town and the
series ended in four games, the
other town would get only one
game. However, st. Louis and New
York fans should be pretty well
stated with World Series by now,
so it shouldn't make much diff
ference.
Our guess is that Lands will
meet shortly with the league heads
and contending team representa-
tives, and it will be duly announc-
ed that the first game will be
played in the American League

Rookie Al won mis- fifth triumph

Bias Charged To
N. Y. Hospitals

NEW YORK-(A N P)-Private
hospitals here refuse to accept Ne
gro nurses despite the critical
need for trained nurses, Mrs. Mabel
e Staupers, executive secretary of
the National Association of Color
ed Graduate Nurses, charged to-
day.
ut isn't a matter of giving Ne
groes chance but of serving
humanity" Mrs. Staupers told the
committee on public health of the
Women's City club. The city operat-
ed hospitals are the only ones to
admit colored nurses, she asserted.
Mrs. Staupers said that the
army, Notwithstanding its need
for nurses, still accepted Negro
nurses on a quota basis and the
200 who are now serving in the
armed forces have been assigned
on a segregated basis, all with
Negro units. None has yet been adj
mitted to the navy, she declared.

There was no day for him now.
and there was no night; there was

Though they carried him from

though they threatened him. per-
suaded him, buIlied him. and

fused TO speak. Most of the time
he sat with bowed head, staring
at the floor; or he lay full length
upon cot with the pale yellow
sunshine of February sky falling
obliouely upon him through the
cold steel bars of the Eleventh
Street Police Station.
Food was brought to him upon
trays and an hour later the trays
were taken away, untouched. They
gave him packages of cigarettes,
but they lay on the floor unopened
He would not even drink water
He simply lay or sat, saying moth
ing, not noticing when they entered
or left his cell. When they wanted
him to go from one place to an
other, they caught him by the wrist
and led him; he went without re-
sistance, walking always with drag
ging feet, head down. Even wher
they snatched him up by the col
lar, his weak body easily lending
itself TO be manhandled, he looked
without hope or resentment, his
eyes like two still pools of black
INK in his flaccid face. No one had
seen him save the officials and ne
had asked TO see no one. Not once
during the three days following his
capture had an image of what he
had done come into his mind. He
had thrust the whole thing back
of him, and there it lay, monstrous
and horrible. He was not so much
in a stupor, as in the grip of a
deep physiological resolution not
to react TO anything.

Hard on the heels of the order
which was read to Negro officers
here advising that none could be
promoted beyond the rank Of first
lieutenant, comes word that army
officials in Washington have de-
creed that. no Negro officer muse
ever be placed in position where
he viii have white man serving
under him. As incredible as it
seems, there are those who win
vouch that the army has issued or
derS Of this sort.
Pressed by inquiries regarding
the order that Negro offices are
limited to ieutenancies the depart
ment admitted that such an order
has gone forth. The explanation
was made that the order Was APP
plicable at Ft. Huachuca because of
the .'block system" of appointing
officers at this station. The claim
was made that the order would not
prevent officers from being
recommended for promotion
beyond the rank of first
lieutenant but if they are so pro-
NOTED the officer in question could
no longer serve here.
That explanation is difficult to
comprehend. If a commander
recommends a good officer for pro-
motion he is lost TO the 93rd. A
commander WouIG not dare recon-
mend an inferior officer. Ergo he
will not recommend anyone.
So far as is known, no such order
limiting the possibility of promo
ton and making a dead end beyond
which officers can advance, exists
in any other section Of the army
where Negro soldiers are involved.
