Gerald Cox, the Crusader for "clean cricket" in Massachusetts, had a successful day, too, last Saturday by scoring S7 runs add ed to 53 made by Benn.
 Wanderers suffered likewise in a match at Franklin Field two weeks ago when Universal CC met them for the first time and smoth- cred the club for the meagre score of Is. Two disgraceful defeats are enough to make Wanderers win all other matches for the rest of the season. Especially if the re- liable Pop Herbert, Spike Far mum, Ed Layne and Donald Folkes, Callendar and young Bynoe, and Rev. Durant get in a huddle with the advice of Pres. Percy Foote. No other club, not even Windsor second eleven, should be able to bring water. Of course, Wander CTS in USA in June 1946 scored 19 runs; Wanderers in Barbados, BWI, scored 99 runs in June 19- 46, a contrast! Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties.
 The future for todays matches are as follows: Wanderers vs Newton at Newton; West India vs Windsor 2nd XI at Franklin Field. A possible match maybe Univers- al and Windsor XI at Franklin Field.

I sympathize with the Wander ITS co, who participated in State Cricket matches for many, many years and who are now forcing it's way through to maintain it's strength this season, but much as do regret it, still think the csuse of failure to make more runs in the matches with Univers- Il CC and West India last Satur- day is partially due to the indif- ference of the active membership of the club. I wonder if Wanderers case is "twhere the few is sacri- iced for the greatest good" If so, let it not be said that the heri- age which Joe Worrell, Iron Man' Holder, Ed Collymore, O. Norris. Bobby Burns, and Ed Me Cla7n left, be disgraced to such an extent that Wanderers could not reach a round score of even 20 runs.
 Lester Benn 5 Not Out
 The brilliant score of 53 not out bv Lester Benn maintained his reputation as West India's biggest bet for batting this season a "not out record" is good for an indef- mite number of runs. 1t was re- grettable that Calender and Brown were not respected ss far as the effect of their bowling is concerned. The batting by Benn was cinch.

Elks Giants Top State Health Team
By "DOc'' Hurley

Hartford-The victory-conscious Elk Giants continued their win- ming streak by taking an easy win from the State Health nine, before large crowd at Colt Park. "Speeoball" Stathon's four-hit hurling, a hefty clouted single in the pinch by catcher Herman
 Poole, and tight defensive. play were all combined to bring the Giants their sixth win of the sea- son.
 The Giants were the first to draw blood in the Tall game, when lead- oc man Freddy Ware, in the latter half of the first inning collected a free ticket. Ware stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Then Holms pulled a bunt and Ware scored on a felder's choice.
 In the fourth frame, the hard fighting health Staters tied the score when pitcher Kaminski laced a spinning grounder to Jackson with the bases choked, and Scott scored when Jackson fuqnbied the ball. At that point, time was called by Coach Dick Barlow, who went in conference with pitcher Sta- thon. From that time on, the South-Enders rally was short lived, with two strike outs by Sta thon, and a grounder kill from Jackson to Porter. Coming right back in the last half of the fourth inning, the Giants opened up their attack again. Both Porter and Will son drew charity tickets and then Poole on the second pitched ball. banged hard single to center field scoring Porter. Then to put his own game on ice, Melvin 'Speedbalr' Stathon drove a lustv double to center field, sending Will son and Poole home. For the re- mainder of the game, Stathon was in trouble only once, but beau tiful twin kill from Ware to Regis ter to Porter settled the suspense.

Holy Rosary Loses
By Al POtter

Providence, R. With Lefty Paulus getting fine support the Riverside Merchants of the Provi- dence Amateur Leag defeated the Providence Holy Rosary Gu 84 Sunday at Riverside Field. The winners combined hits and smart base-running to SCOTT runs in the initia frame, after which Joe Ramos settled down to some effec- tive pitching to hold the Merchants to 4 scattered runs while the los CTS scored two in the 4th and two more in the 7th. The game was featured by some sensational field ing plays by both teams. Newell Roberts hit his second home run of the season into deep right cen- ter fell. Incidentally, Roberts has been playing a stellar game at 3rd b7se, being possessed of one of the finest throwing arms seen around these parts in some time. Frankie Jackson, who covers lot of out field, pulled down several long drives in the centerfield area after long runs.
 Games scheduled by the Invad- CTS and Eagles were cancelled.
 With three teams in the Provi- pence area it might not be a bad idea to pick an All-Star team near the seasons end to stage contest against the cream of the Baseball crop of Massachusetts. Baseball wise men like coach Holloway of the Invaders could be in charge of getting the aggregation in shane.
 Sunday the Holy Rosary plays at Onset, Cape Cod. For schedules of the other teams watch the daily papers.

JACK JOHNSON BROUGHT LITTLE GLORY TO HIMSELF
 OR HIS RACE

New York-Jack Johnson, who never got over the jealousy he felt because of the esteem in which Joe Louis is held, has the distinc- tion of having been the first Ne gro heavyweight of the world. When he died recently as the re- suit of an automobile accident, he was a bitter and frustrated old man who had held the chance for greatness in his hand, but who let it slip away. As nearly as old timers can recall, and on the strength of the record, every fight in which Jack Johnson engaged was clouded with suspicion and unhealthy rumor. It has been said time and again, that Jack John son had his price, and was not 'cbove listening to a little proposi- ton. He was a clown in the ring, and an insufferable show-off in his daily life; albeit, there are few who will deny that he must be given first consideration as the greatest heavyweight of all time.
 Wren he defeated Tommy Burns in 1908 after 14 rounds of thrill ing fighting in a Sidney, Austr alia ring, Johnson gained the power to defeat American racial prejudice. Had he used it wisely, the good that Joe Louis has achieved would have come almost forty years earlier. When Johnson came upon the scene, mixed bouts were far from popular with the promoters and gamblers. The fans then, as are those of today, were only in- terested in seeing the two best men scrap it out, 'but white su- premacy was a physical thing in those days, and the guardians of hat fear-born idea saw to it that Negro fighters stayed in their places.
 As 9 curious mixture of the new Negro and Uncle Tom. Johnson had a terrific conflict within him self. He can never be accused of being a race patriot, but he could not escare the fact that he was a Negro. Add to this fact that he wanted nassionately to ilnrress the white folks, and you have the measure of the man.
 Much of the criticism of John son in the white press during his reign and in later years was be- c9use of his involvement in M7nn Act charge that grew out of his ma, riage to a white woman. That, 10 me, has always been a matter of concern only to the contracting parties, and contrary to the gen. eral opinion, I don't believe it was the cause of Johnson's unpopular ity. Not having been around when he WIS champ, I don't have any frst-hand information about his exploits, but since fighting was his business, I am inclined to believe he lost his prestige in the ring and not in the boudoir.

$ AQFR SPORTS & 5.
THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

Some ot the boys who write the deathless pose for sports history hold to the opinion that Jack John son got a neat little sum in ex- change for which he was to have keeled over at an appointed time in his fight with Jim Jeffries. Johnson won that one, and the chcmp was credited with a double cross. That's the way it was with him. You could never tell whether he was going to double-cross YOU or himself. During the time when fixed fights were no rarity, Jack Johnson was considered to be a most approachable guy.
 Johnson cove, ed himself with a shame that will keep his memory perpetually alive, in 1915 when he lost his heavyweight title to cow boy Jess Willard in Cuba. As usual, the talk before the fight was confusing and chiefly con- cerned with the business of a "fx." It was expected that Willar6 would win since he was younger and in top condition. Johnson war f1abby and had the marks of dis sipation stamped heavily upor him, yet, because boxing was gamblers racket anything coulc' happen. After 26 sun-baked rounds big Jess knocked Jack to the can vas, and after due process, he was acclaimed the winner and new champion.
 Few fans suuawked about that decision out of sheer love for Jack Johnson, but there was sometime smelly about the fight, and tn aroma still fingers in the air. There is still a lot of talk that says Johnson laid down, and it didn't help matters much when a picture showing Johnson laying on the canvas and shielding his eyes fror- the sun was trotted out. A mar who is earnestly fighting to win md who is the worlds champion will not show the grace necessary to keep the sun out of his eyes when he's knocked down.
 Jack reportedlv admitted that he sold out in the Willard fight, and immediately opinion took another turn. The boys reasoned that if Johnson, who enjoyed the reputa- ton of being the most unbeliev- able fighter in the business said he had laid down, the reverse was probably true. They pointed out that h~d he intended to lay down he most certainly would not have waited 26 rourCs to carry out the assignment. No one knows what the truth is, and at this writing, few persons really care. As things were then, and as they stand now it doesn't matter much who won or whether or not Jack Johnson ever won any of his fights. For all of his great fighting ability, he left no glory for himself nor thf race from which he came. He is gone now, and the kindest thine that can be said for him is that h came along during tough period, and he couldn't take it.
