Four rookie pitchers celebrat-

ries today but the biggest thrill
went TO AL HollingsWorth, "a
yearold veteran of II baseball
campaigns, who graduated into
the 1914 win by boosting the ST,

HollingsWorth's relief chore

tie Washington and went on to
a 4-3 verdict in IL night innings.
AS Joe McCarthy's clan had
fallen before Detroit, 90, in the
afternoon, ST. Louis moved into
a percentage point tie for the
lead at ST. although they have
played seven more games, won
four more and lost three more
than the champs.
Forrest Orrell engineered De
troit's third straight over New
York in relief role as pinch
hitter AL Unser belted Walt Du-
biel for a bases-loaded home
run with two out in the last of
the ninth. Orrell, bought from
Portland last year, was credit
ed with his first win in the big
show.
Specs Klieman Of the Cleve-

Scores IS Out
OF Possible
II Sirikeouts
Covered Wagon
Pitcher Breaks
Former Top Score

A new city record for strike
outs in seven-inning game was
set last night by Henry Duckert,
Covered Wagon pitcher, but he
missed the feat he was trying
most for, that Of hurting a per-
feet game.
Hank was really moving
them down IN tilt with Mount
Clemens Rose Gardens. He sent
ID opposing batters back TO the
bench via the strikeout route,
two more than the previous
record held Jointly by Quincy
Schnaufer and Dannie Warner.
He had just one more man to
retire IN the last of the seventh
inning in order to achieve the
coveted honor of perfect
game, but that one man spoiled
II for him. After striking out
the first two batters in the sew
enth, Duckert tried TO slip the
first pitch over on Bat Ikegani,
but the Greenhouse catcher
Topped Texas Lacquer to short
left center field which fell for
a double. Bill Nichols followed
lkegani with fly to left field
and the latter scored when the
ball was bobbled, permitting
Nichols TO reach second. Jack
Mlzafuka then popped TO short
stop ending the inning.
10 IN A ROW
In four frames, the second,
third, fifth and sixth, Duckert
retired the side on strikes and
at one time bad string of 10
victims in a row.
Mizafuka, Rose Garden hurl-
or, also made a creditable show
ing, allowing only three hits,
but wildness with men on base
and loose fielding on the part of
his teammates was, in a sense,
the difference between the two
clubs.
The Trailers jumped to two
run lead in the first inning
when Don kolp walked with
one out, stole second and scored
on Duckert's single. The latter
stole second. went to third on
a passed ball and wound up by
stealing home.

les" and he argues that the
colored minority group "has
learned painfully in the past
that those who hate Catholics
almost invariably hate our race
(colored) sooner or later, more
frequently sooner"
Now, whether I hate Catholics,
or love them, is neither here nor
there. What likelihood is there
that I am, or will become, a
hater of the colored people?
Every man is the sum total of
his background and of his tradi-
tons. From my earliest child
hood my attitude toward the
colored people was determined
by my father. During the Civil
War two colored regiments were
enlisted by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts,. One was the
F'ifty-fourth, the other was the
Fifty-fifth Massachusetts, Volun-
teers, in which James Monroe
Trotter, father of THE GUARD
IAN editors, served as an officer.
My father held a commission as
Lieutenant in the Fifty-fifth.
His brother, my uncle, Garth
Wilkinson James, was Adiutant
to Colonel Robert Gould Shaw
Of the Fifty-fourth. He was
wounded in the assault on Fort
Wagner, where Shaw was killed.
My fathers commission, signed
by Governor John A. Andrew,
hangs today on my wall, to-
gether with my fathers sword.
These two black regiments
fought for the freedom of the
black race. Those were the days
when men believed in freedom,
and fought for it, and when a
war for freedom could be fought
by volunteers.
How much chance is there,
with all that back of me, and
with Emerson and Thoreau,
Garrison and Phillips rubbed
into me from infancy, that I will
ever become a hater of the coll
ored peopleP
Mr.. Richardson, you are fol-
lowing a wrong scent.

1t is foolish to adhere to the ignorant belief that any
one race, creed color is superior whether such is
preached by Hitler, TOTO Rankin Colored races have
contributed much upon which other peoples have merely
built and we may reasonably expect colored races to
contribute more today and in the future Until the day
comes when our schools colleges and universities also
our Congress become fair enough to give due credit

Week to stimulate outside research and revelations per-
