The favored EM played like the the Yankees of 1927 in their ami hilation of the Officer all-stars in the series concluded this week. The competition was one of those best two-out-of- three affairs and it was evident who the winners would be after the first game.

FIGHTERS FACE TOUGH SCHEDULE THIS WEEK

After being idle for almost a week, the Bradley Fighters return to the diamond wars tonight at Waterbury where they will cross bats with the strong Waterbury Brasscos under the arclights. Slick Johnson is all primed to continue his winning streak against the me tai workers and the team, as a whole, is anxious to get in there and swing against some "juicy" pitching again.
 Tomorrow, the Fighters travel to Wethersfeld to take on the Prison team there. Game time is slated for 1400 hours and Walt McMahon will toe the rubber for the Airmen.
 On Tuesday, before the capacity crowd expected to attend the "Open House" on the Base, the Fighters have scheduled the strong New London Sub Base aggregation. The fact that August first is the birth day of the AAF should spur the team team on to great heights in this tussle. .-..=
 Next Friday, the Fighters will travel up Chicopee Falls way to do battle with the Westover Flyers. Earlier in the season, the Flyers visited this Base and went home to lick their wounds after 26-4 drubbing at the hands of the Brad leyites. Since then, Westover has strengthened it's team immeasure- ably and Fridays game should be humdinger. Game time is set for 1730 hours.

Mix this with your Spam souffle and chew on it a while.
 Has service in the Armed Forces impaired the athletic efficiency of professional sports stars? Will CT Joe DiMaggio still pack sthat old wallop when he returns to the New York Yankees? Has Sgt. Joe Louis preserved the coordination which made him unbeatable in the ring? Will Shipwreck Kelly's legs hold out for a fast set of fagpole sit ting?
 This IS the $64 question that has become stuck in the craw of many of the best minds of our day and also those of the athletes them selves.
 Part of the answer already has been supplied by such returning stars as Willie Pep, the feather weight, and Dick Wakefield, the outfelder. Pep, discharged by the Navy, hasn't lost a fight since his return to the ring. Wakefield, also discharged by the Navy, returned at once to the Detroit Tigers out field and clubbed out a double his first time at bat. ...: "=.--4
 Further light may be cast on the subject when Pete Reiser, the Brooklyn Dodgers brightest pre- war star, gets the ODD he expects from the Army and when Ray Robinson, already discharged with a CDD, resumes his nose bending career in the lightweight ring. In the meantime, sports fans can catch an occasional glimpse of such CT stars as Pfc. Frank Kovacs, who trimmed Bill Tilden and Don Me- Neil in smart fashion during a re- cent Red Cross benefit tournament on the grass courts at Forest Hills, and It Ben Hogan, who plays golf on week-ends and still hits one of the longest balls in the game.
 Most of the CT athletes seem confident that they will be as good as ever when they come back. Some of them, like Zeke Bonura, the big mahout of the North African League, even think they'll be bet ter. "My legs are stronger than ever," says Zeke, whose fielding for the White Sox was as messy as the walters apron at the Greasy Spoon Cafe. "I should be able to kick in more runs than ever before"

In naming the progress made

Seattle the full confidence and

Minneapolis lynn"
Drops Race Bar
In New Policy

Rev. Robert W. Kelley, pastor of
Border Methodist church, became a
member with full privileges of the
Minneapolis Y. M. C. A., downtown
branch last week. This branch
heretofore has not accepted Ne
groes as members except with re-
stricted participation which barred
them from the use of the swim
ming pool and number of other
facilities.
Rev. Damon P. Young, former
minister at Border, and Rev. C. F.
Stewart, former pastor of St. Peter
AME church, held such restricted
memberships.
VIM. F. Rietzke, executive secre-
tary of the downtown branch, ex-
pressed the desire some time age
to personally issue Rev. Kelley's
membership card. Mr.. Rietzke said
the change in policy of this branch
is due to the attitude of the Ma
tional Y Board which now grants a
three month free membership to
all service men returning from
overseas duty, regardless of race
color or creed.
In some quarters, it is believed
that Al Jordan, associate executive
secretary of the Minneapolis branch
had hand in the iberalizing of
the organization as we'll as Clar-
ence CLANCY, present Y. M. C. A
president, who was for years presi.
dent of the Minneapolis Urban
League.

the Associated Negro Credit Union
got off to a big start Sunday at a

instructor, gave a fine address en-
phasizing the need of Negroes

He described how Maggie l..

an, started a penny savings club
which today is bank with over one
million dollars in assets. The
speaker urged the need of thrift and
pointed out the necessity of post
war planning by every Negro COM
munity.

were Rev. B. N. Moore, w. B.

chairman of the member drive; Rev.

ton of A. V. Hall, and the Wares
Treble Clefs.
Presiding at the meeting was
Rev. S. E. Ware, pastor of Pilgrim.
The meeting was the first Credit
Union affair sponsored by a joint
committee of ministers and laymen.
1t was highly successful.
Rev. Moore's talk, "Save for Sc
curity," gave 10 reasons why Credit
Union membership is profitable and
desirable.
A similar meeting will be held in
Minneapolis at Zion Baptist church
some time in March.
Forty-three new members were
secured by a committee composed
