GOVERNMENT GIRL ON TOMORROW AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Teaming lovely Olivia de Havil- land with the new film find" Sonny Tufts, Government Girl" comes to the Capitol screen to- morrow as hilarious and romantic presentation of the hectic life be- hind the scenes in the nations capital
 Miss de Havilland has the title role of Smokey" Allard, a capable secretary with the War Production Board, and Tufts plays the part of Ed Browne, a two-fisted busi- ness executive brought to Wash ington as a dollar-a-year man to head a building program.
 Dubious over the size of the job, Browne is encouraged to tackle it by Smokey's persistent prodding. His efforts get things done in rec ord time, and before long the bomber program is well ahead of schedule-but to accomplish this record Browne has to break a flock of rules and ride roughshod over priorities and personalities, natur- ally making some powerful ene- mics.
 As a result, he is haled before a Senate Investigating committee, to learn that Smokey has unwillingly
 
 helped the other side gather mate rial against him. Appalled, at what she has done, Smokey makes a dra- matic appearance before the com mittee and triumphantly vindicates her boss and at the same time re- vealing to Browne that she is in love with him.

what may be break"
Phil Wrigley, owner of the Chi
cago Cubs of the National League,
admitting to a committee of citi-
zens called the Chicago Committee
for Indignation of Negroes Into Or
ganized Baseball that the time is
not far off when colored players
will get their long delayed chance
to play big league ball, tentatively
agreed to hire a scout to look over
colored talent with the idea in
mind of using a player or two on
the Los Angeles Club. Wrigley,
however, said the time isn't
ripe" for organized baseball to
change its aged rule of Jim Crow

gressive." Pants Rowland of the
Los Angeles team was present at
the meeting, indicative, some

on using colored players on the

Behind the Play
By Don DeLeighbur

NEW YORK-It's smart to keep
your eyes peeled for developments
in baseball. Baseball has moved
to the No. l position in Importance
to colored Americans during this
war, going ahead of professional
boxing, basketball and football be-
cause baseball, that is organized
baseball, has yet to lower its color
bar and admit qualified colored
players. Boxing has done more
than its share toward equality. Its
list, long and impressive, of cham
pions in every division proves this.
Negro athletes once dominated pro-
fessional football back in 1920
when Fritz Pollard, Ink Williams,
Paul Robson, Duke Slater, Dick
Hudson, Sol Butler and others laid
the groundwork for the present
National Pro Football League, only
to be unceremoniously kicked out
when the gates got good.
The colored athlete has been
great in basketball except in the
Big Ten; he has held his own in
collegiate football, track, collegiate
baseball, tennis-practically every
sport, including the difficult la
crosse, except swimming. But in
organized professional baseball he
has been consistently barred. That
is why the happenings of today are
so fraught with possibilities and
potentialities and bear close watch
ing.
