POLL TAX GROUP, SOUTHERN
CONFERENCE RE-AFFILIATING

WASHINGTON, June 22.
(ANP)-Jennings Perry and DR..
Clark Foreman announced that the
National Committee to Abolish the
Poll tax is re-affiliating with the
Southern Conference for Human
welfare. The two men are chairman
and president, respectively, of the
two organizations.
The time of re affiliation will
depend upon the time table for HR
Z in the United States senate. Every
effort is being made to pry the bill
onto the floor, before the senate re
cess. It's chances for passage once
it is up are excellent, according to
Mr.. Perry, but it is fighting for a
place on crowded schedule after
long months of earlier delay.
After the merger the name of the
National Committee will be the Ma
tional Committee to Abolish the Poll
Tax of the Southern Conference for
Human Welfare. The committee
will continue to operate as a sep
arate entity, keeping its present
executive board and sponsors. This
is in recognition of it's thoroughly
national character. 1t will continue
to capitalize on the educational
work it has done in every state.
The National Committee began
as civil liberties committee of the
SCHW when that organization was
founded in 1888 in Birmingham.
Rep. Lee Geyer (D.-Cal), recog-
nizing the poll tax as a national is
sue, developed the Independent
NCAPT after he had introduced
the first anti-poll tax bill.

business Of issuing no bases on balls
came as a delightful surprise to
Bluege, although Kennedy has been
insisting he was wild in previous
trials with the Mats only because he
was nervous.
Kennedy's Hurting Sparkles.
Kennedy's pitching was outstand-
ing, but barely overshadowed the
slabbing by Vernon Curtis, Bill
Lefebvre and ROLAND Miller. Curtis
was nicked for four hits in the
three innings he worked and yielded
the only Brooklyn run, but it was
unearned. The Dodgers scored of
him in the first inning when PeeWee
Reese beat out grounder to short
and continued to second on Charley
Roberts wild throw. Gene Herman

Lefebvre and Miller each gave up
only one hit in three innings and
further complicated the pruning OF
the Mats squad, which will be cut

Hokie Smith, captain of the pace
setting Hi-Skor team, accounted
himself lucky today to be leading the
District League after shrinking his
average to 127-51 for 70 games with
a 356 set.
The former league champion,
making a brilliant comeback this
season after three years of retire
ment, got big break last night
when Bub Guethler, Lucky Strike
southpaw, striving to overtake the
Hi-Skor ace, could muster only a
352 set which dropped him 27 pins
behind with a 1924 mark.
Despite the tough night for Hokie,
igh-fying Hi-Skor continued its
spectacular pennant march by
whitewashing the champion North
east Temple as Bill Buckner came
to the rescue with 139 and 400. It
was Hi-Skor's second sweep over
last seasons flag winners.

made such an awesome impression
on every one who has seen them

pective absence of such a key

Gordon, injured in Tuesdays

sidering the nature of the injury

The fact is, Of course, that the

a second stringer on second if they
knew Gordon would be ready even
