The Kansas City Monarchs have their Satchel Paige the Homestead Grays have their Josh Gibson and the Black Yankees have their fam ous fireballer, John Stanley. Equally as great as there and particularly right now. is Dave "Impo' BarnhiiI, great pitcher of the New York Gu. bans, league leaders of the National Negro League, who meet Fred Dayl S Brasseos here Saturday night under lights a. the Municipal Stadium.
 Last season, Barnhill was men" tioned frequently as the colored bali player who would most likely get the first opportunity of playing With A major league ball club. That op- portunity hasn't presented itself as vet, but those close to the big leagues know that it may happen one of these days and they know or nobody whom they would rather see get the break" than the likeable Barnhill.

New York. Aug 3-This third war year has brought out some unusual baseball stories not the least extra ordinary of which is that of Eddie Roland.
 The Washington club literally picked this lsft-hand hitting and throwing outfielder out of the ashcan.
 The club representing New York's Department of Sanitation was one of five semi-professional outfits with which Roland per- formed.
 Washington, in the spring the choice of many to win the Ameri- can League pennant, could inter- est Roland for no more than several weeks. When the Nationals were left shorthanded by Roberto Or tiz' return to Cuba, the 3l-year-old Roland volunteered to give them a hand while on vacation from his steady job as clerk in the Depart ment of Sanitation.
 Major league baseball could not complete with the annual game between the teams of the Sanita- tion and Police Departments at the Polo Grounds, Sept. 2. Roland told Clark Griffith he would have to return to his sanitation post the latter part of August and be ready for the big game.

CARDINALSTOP
 RIP SEWELL IN
 NIGHT CONTEST
BY CARL LUNDQUIsT


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 3.-tUPD-Lame- armed Elmer Riddle of the Clncin- natl Reds Is going to a hospital in- stead of the ball park today, there by putting a climax to the most ironic story of the baseball season. because he is the one guy who might have kept his team within striking distance of the St. Louis Cardinals.
 It would be assuming a lot to figure that any National league team could have beaten the omnipotent Cards out of the pennant this year, yet the Reds with Riddle as effec- tive as in lo43 when he won 2l games, might have figured to make a closer race of it.
 The irony involves Manager Bill McKechnie, conceded to be base balls top handler of pitchers, who rarely in his long career has had a sore-arm hurler.
 What happened to Riddle is a riddle, but the day his arm went dead in a game early this season may well be regarded as the one which blasted the bare chance the Reds had for dethroning the Car. dinals.
 Whether the operation for removal of a calcium deposit in his right shoulder will enable him to pitch again will be a sequel story, but it is certain that he can't help the Reds of l044 at this belated date.
 Cincinnati is now l6 games be- hind the Cardinals and hes been all but mathcmatically counted out.
 The Cardinals picked up another half game at Pittsburgh last night, defeating the Pirates 8 to on Max Lanier's five hit pitching job. The Pirates made all their runs in the third when they made 2 hits count for four tallies. St. Louis, tapping three Pirate pitchers for l2 hits gave starter Truett (Rip) Sewell his ninth beating of the year.
 The Philadelphia Athletics split a duoble bill at Chicago, winning the first game 9 to 5 with a seven run rally in the ninth inning and dropping the second, 2 to 3. Lunlan Harris pitched his ninth victory for the As in the opener, which was a pitching battle until the last in- ming explosion. Hal Trosky hit a homer to account for two of the White Sox runs. Johnny Humphries with some releif help from Gordon Maltzeberger, won the second game although the As made l2 hits.
 Chicago at Philadelphia in the National was postponed because oi the transportation strike ana tnere were no other games scheduled.

and in time he can retire on half pay.
 Roland spent l936-37-38 W it h Buffalo, which club he quit in dis guest following a salary dispute. Steve O'Neill of the Tigers guided the Bisons while Roland was with them. assured Ossie Bluege that he would do better than all right.
 There are outfielders in the big leagues now who aren't as good as Roland, and a lot of them can't hit as we'll" stressed O'Neill.
 Roland, who was with the Phil lies in l934-35, lived up to the rec ommendation by stepping directly into the Mats regular outfielding

This year Thursday nights saw him with the Pioneers of Stamford, Conn. Friday nights he was with Cedarhurst. Kings Park had him on Saturday afternoon. He got in Sun day afternoon double headers with Mt. Vernon and was back at Cedar hurst on Sunday nights.
 For an outfielder the semi-pro- fessional scale is $l5 a game and S25 for douhle-headers, and Roland got in six and seven gamse week.
 Eddie Roland was in shape when he joined the Washington club, but prefers to be a cleanup man at home.

Dewey's Plans

Reading the reports of Deweys speeches his
campaign tour raises question to his plans ne plan
ming become Dictator is he basng his proposals for
legislative enactment of broadened social security provisions
in the laws republican democratic congress? Or are
the made by him in Los Angeles what Wilke once
classed campaign oratory?
If nearly all of the republican senators and members
the representatives and the bloc of eaconary south
democrats could be replaced with LIBERAL progressive
and and assuming for the sake OF argument that
eys statements anything but campaign oratory then if
he elected President there might be chance of enact
ment of broader social security program.
The first plank in Deweys proposals, as voiced by him
Angeles according to the Associated Press embodes
some proposals in the Wagner Murray Dinge BILL
damned and dcued by the controlled and certainly not
supported by the reaonary members OF Dewey party in the
national AS reported this first plank called for
Expansion of old and survivors coverage for farm
domestic workers. employees of nonprot enterprises self
employed government workers domestic help and
memeb of the armed forces whose benefits would be reduced
by their service"
Mr. Dewey in the second plank his proposals. advocated
"Wdenng of unemployment insurance to include the groups
which unprotected.
1t be apparent to every informed citizen that this
all piece with the commitments made by Harding in
his campaign speeches. that the United States would become
active member of the League of Nations he elected
Hardngs promises proved to have been merely campaign
oratory".
1t is recognized that Deweys "sympathies lie with the
wealthy His record does not disclose great for
the underprveged They why this sudden flare of social
consciousness?
Very likely he and his advisors that there
are lot people this broad country who cannot be
reached by criticism of his opponents foreign pocies who
concerned with their immediate personal situation
and security than with international finds
politically expeden to make such statements the he
made Angeles. And of his wealthy and priv
eged supporters probably don't what statements he
just he wange votes from this class They are
political reasts recognize that campaign oratory
demanded by the situation.
Perhaps this is unfair to Mr.. Dewey Perhaps he is sin
which, in the light of his record and
that of his party cannot believe If he is personally sim
making these proposals. then he must be planning to
put them into effect without the approval of recacrant
majority of the members of his party Does he imply that he
will bring these reforms about by edict?
Wasn't there fellow by the of Hitler who once
lot of promises to improve the working mans lot
when he climbing the ladder to power?
