Wilkins Is
SkepticaI
Press Meet

NEW YORK. N. Y.-Roy Wilkins,
Crisis editor, declined this week the
Council for Democracy's invitation
to participate in a conference called
by the council May 7 and 8 to dis
cuss the Negro Press.
Explaining that he could find
little purpose in the proposal Of the
Council for Democracy to sponsor a
conference to aid the Negro press
after the publication of an article
by one of the councils staff men,
bers castigating that press. wilkins.
who is the assistant N.A.AC.P.
executive secretary, said:
IF the Negro press is as vicious;
dangerous, inaccurate, irresponsible,
biased and unpatriotic as DR.. Brown
declared it to be in January, il is
odd that in May the Council for
Democracy should want to aid that
press in getting advertising and in
other ways"
Following the appearance OF the
Brown article in two national pub
locations, Walter White, NAA.CP.
secretary, resigned last winter from
the board OF directors Of the Coun-
Gil for Democracy when the council
refused TO retract the assertions
made by Brown.

against 26 defendants collapsed
when Clifford Tavernier, prominent
southside lawyer. refused to testify.
was recalled last week in the APP

Jail sentence given Tavernier for
contempt was upheld.
Tavernier was ordered to jail
and fined $1,000 by Judge John A.
Scarbaro when he refused to testi-
fly at the trial on the ground that
he himself might become involved.
He had, however. previously testi-
fed before the grand jury that de-
cided the 26 indictments.
The Appellate court said in part:
I'm our opinion, the court acted
reasonably in requiring Mr.. Tav-
ernier TO answer the questions pro-
pounded to him. The court did not
err in concluding that the answers
would not tend 10 incriminate him.
The questions propounded to the
witness before the grand jury and
his answers to them were read tc
him in open court and were incor-
porated in the order by reference

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Neigh
borhood House, recreation
health and civic center at 10Th
and Cole streets, has been
designated for the exclusive
use Of Negroes, it was learned this
week by the Defender.
Samuel Plant, president OF the
Neighborhood Association, which
formerly owned the place, stated a
survey had been completed that
showed the population near the Ave-
story building TO be 80 per cent
Negro.
"A total absence OF social agen-
cies and practically no organized
activities for children or adults"
he said, lin a neigtborhood OF
dingy houses and bleak yards. made
the area seed-bed for delinquency
crime and broken homes"
LAS a demonstration of good will.
Plan. said. "the association decided
to convert the l6-year-old center
TO Negro use rather than dispose
Of it for industrial purposes"
II is the hope Of the organization
that race groups will develop such
activities to help in eliminating un-
wholesome conditions.
The Neigh borhood Association
building houses gymnasium, an
auditorium. workshop, game, class
and club rooms.
II will be handled entirely under
trained race members.

Like Rogers Hornsby, the only right-hand hitter who approached him, Wagner stood as far back and away from the plate as he possibly could and remain in the batter's box. He gripped the bat like Cobb, hands inches apart, and ready to be shifted with the pitch.
 Just pitch the ball and pray" John McGraw once told a young pitcher who wanted to know how to pitch to Wagner.
 With Wagner at bat, and run ners in position to score, it was practically impossible for a pitcher to waste one. Old Honus did very well for a so-called bad ball hit ter.
 While he wasn't a sprinter, Wag- ner got there with his awkward stride. and his l90 pounds coming into a base was something with whicIl to be reckoned. He made baSe-running appear as simple as he did batting and shortstopping Only Cobb, Max Carey and Eddie Collins surpassed his 720 stolen bases.
 But, unlike Cobb and other hyper aggressive hase-runners, Wagner re- carving to get there first. Lightly fused to resort to ne-breaking and built Charley Dooin of the Phillies blocked Wagner, who was on top of the plate before tine ball reached the catcher. The Dutchman could have knocked Dooin up into the stand, but attempted to slide around him, missed the plate and was tag ged out.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-04-02


 Tyrus Raymond Cobb and John Honus Wagner, greatest of the ball players, were opposite in all respects except ability.
 " Cobb was fiery, Honus Wagner phlegmatic. Cobb was everlastlngly in trouble-with players, umpires and fans. Wagner was the most in- offensive athlete who ever played the game. Cobb took the stand that the baselines belonged to him, spiked opponents 'in self defense" " While no pantywaist, Wagner per- mitted himself to be put out rather than run the risk of injuring a player attempting to tag him. Cobb was boulavardier, Wagner retiring, Cobb wound up millionaire, Wag- her broke.
 The Flying Dutchman came along too soon. He was the best ball player alive when the Pittsburgh club paid him $S50 month in 1900 and. while he was the highest-sal- aried performer of his time, the most he ever got was $l0,00O a year.
 Wagner was the greatest all.round player of them all. He did every thing but catch. His selection as the all-time all-star shortstop goes unchallenged,
 WAGNER THE TRIPLE THREAT
 Wagner was the most feared right-hand batter who ever stepped to the plate, yet he was a better fielder than @ hitter, and ran the bases best of all.
