to add another score. This made the score Az. In the eighth the Traums got three more runs off walk, single and a home run by Curry with the score 7-2. The game ended in the first half of the ninth when the All-Stars failed to push over a tally.
 The second was a thriller, with Santello pitching Init ball to win 2-1 for Puerto Rico. Santellos, a master of control, appeared to have in his possession a no-hit game until big George Dixon of the Brewers smashed a double into right field in the last of the seventh. He scored when Smith walked and a wild pitch by the All-Stars' third baseman, Garcia, allowed Dixon to score for the Traums. Santellos walked one, struck out IT and allowed 1 clean hit. His mound appearance seems to show big league calibre.

Ice-Skater
 Has New Jump

Hollywood (Calvin's News Ser vice)-Mabel Fairbanks, the youth full brown iceskater, reputed to be the worlds greatest of her race, has gone and done it again. She's leaping now to a new jump, an original which she has named 'The Atom Smasher" - only she's the smasher!
 When Mabel first arrived in Hol- lywood, three months ago, onlook- CTS believed the greatest they had ever seen were the Flying Waltz Jumps" in which she leaps gracious ly and carefreely over the ice. They swore that these waltz jumps couldn't be duplicated - nor sur passed.
 But now it has been surpassed and by Mabel herself. When she begins smashing away at the ice, her audience stands in awe. They whisper "What will that Fairbanks girl do next?"
 Mabel shyingly says: "Now that I've perfected the "Atom Smash er," I think it's twice as terrific and lots more fun to do. The Waltz Jump is just another jump to me now"

State Guard Activities

The Camp of Instruction is now only one month away. It will be held at Camp Edwards, Bourne, Mass, from August to 10, in- elusive. From here it looks as if this will be the best camp of all, and incidentally, it will be the last camp of instruction as State Guard. By next summer we will be well organized as National Guard. According to information we have received the 27th Infan- try will occupy the land used as the Rehabilitation Area, when Camp Edwards was a Federal camp. This means that there will be recreation facilities in profu- sion. There is a swimming pool, tennis and volley ball courts and many other features of recreation. An extensive program of athlet- ics is being worked out by the Battalion Special Service Officer for the men during camp. There is room in all companies for from 15 to 20 men each, to bring the 27th Infantry up to full strength This is an opportunity for a weeks vacation with pay and subsistence, and an appeal is addressed espe- cially to veterans and former 372nd Infantry men to join us and help to make this last camp the most impressive of all. Join up any Wednesday evening from g to 10 pm. at South Armory, Dartmouth Street, opposite Back Bay Station. If after returning from camp, you find it impossible to attend drill, you can always be released for business reasons.
 TAe new National Guard proc lamation was issued July 1, 1946. Colored troops have been recom- mended for a Medium (Shermane Tank Battalion and from all we can hear that is the type unit that we shall receive. The splen- did work done by the 761st Tank Battalion of General Patton's 3rd Army, while attached to the 18th Massachusetts Yankee) Division, in breaking through the Siegfried Line for the 26th had much to do with the decision to allot a tank battalion to colored troops in the new National Guard set-up. There will be approximately 34 Officers and over 506 enlisted men, among whom there will be many special ists and technical ratings. We hope that those former 372nd men and other veterans who are inter- ested will join up now and be pre- pared to take over some ratings when the transition occurs.

In thrilled-packed double header played at Bulkley Stadium Sunday, the Traum Brewers and the Puerto Rican All-Stars split, in what might be called two in and out games of suspense.
 The first game ended 7-2 in fa- vor of the Brewers only after a barrage of hits in the seventh and eighth innings, ably assisted by three costly errors cha1ked up by the all stars. Up to the seventh the score had been deadlocked at II, but at the last of the seventh three of the Traums, Kapura, Dixon and Banks collaborated with a walk and 2 singles respectively. Then costly error by Gricia of the Stars allowed two more runs to make the scare Al. In this half of the 7th the stars ace, Gri- cia, connected with a double and short-stop Santogers bounded a hot Texas leaguer over third base

Wolverines Romp To Victory 9-1

The Wolverine Baseball Club, being away from the game for three years, came back with a mighty bang to handily defeat the we'll known Armstrong A by a score of g to 1 at the Carter Ball yard on Sunday afternoon.
 From the outset of the contest it was evident that the Wolves were in no mood to be trif1ed with, for Joe Bracy, slugging catcher, lined one over the centerfield wall to ring up the first tally. However, the Armstrong Club came back in the opening of the second inning to garner their only score of the game, when a tremendous double off the centerfeld fence and a single accounted for the lone run. From there in, the Wolverines took charge banging the white pellet all over the park to score eight more runs, concluding with a mighty homerun by Gene Wood, far over the long leftfeld wall. Pitching honors were shared be- tween Lefty Drewery and Nate Tyler, who gave up only five hits between them.
 The Wolverines will oppose the Blue Sox in return game at Car ter Playground Sunday, July ', starting at pm.

BILLY CONN WAS SCARED AND JOE WAS BEING
 CAUTIOUS

New York-Even though you weren't one of the lucky suckers who held one of the tickets sealed from one hundred bucks down, for the Louis Conn fight you'll stand a pretty good chance to see the pictures, and when you do, try to look them over twice. The first time you'll be tense and anxious. the second time, keep your eyes glued on Billy Conn. You'll have to watch him anyhow because Billy is all movement, getting away from the lethal dose hiding in ev- cry solid Joe Louis wallop.
 Conn has perfected the art of running away in the ring until it is almost an exact science. He danced around for almost eight rounds, and when you consider that he knew what was coming to him after a while, it must have been a nervous and tiring half hour he spent in the ring at Yan- kee Stadium.
 Before, during and after the fight, all of the sports celebrities spoke of Conn as a game little challenger, and who am I to dis agree, but while paying tribute to his gameness, I reserve the right to put down what I saw. Conn was scared. He was frightened with the controlled fear of a man who fac es doom as an inevitable end. He never had chance because he was beaten before he stepped into the ring.
 Conn Couldn't Hide
 As you what him in action you will note that he is behaving like a burned child who dares to play with fire again, hoping that his previous experience will keep him from getting singed. Subconscious- ly, he knew he wanted to rum out on the whole business, but some thing sporting inside him, kept him in there feinting and faking u CHS CIldu1p enough to get in lucky wallop.
 It wasn't a pretty spectacle, to watch Joe stalking an opponent who was scared in a controlled sort of way. The fight was slow and dull, at times almost motion less except for the puproseful ad- vancing of Jolting Joe. Conn tried tricks and circus antics, paying too much attention to the myth that Louis is dull-witted and easily be- fuddled. He danced around like an insane man in a lions cage who hopes to punish the lion by get ting him good and mad before he has his dinner.
 Conn was sickly white when he stepped into the ring, and with the first sock in the puss he got jut a pretty crimson in his com plexion. He tried endless numbers of times to throw Joe off balance with feints and dodges, but Joe

Youth Leader Busy
 .EnrOute to Farley

New York-The brief visit of Bernard Jackson, president of the Boston NAACP Youth Council and national president of the organiza- tion's youth conference, was crammed with many events when he stopped here enroute to the NAACP convention in Cincinnati.
 MT. Jackson addressed the Man haitian Youth Council of the MA CP Sunday, June 23, declaring: "Only an all-out battle against the forces of native fascism on all issues will bring total democ- racy." He advised: "We must have an unbreakable alliance with or ganized labor, so that the forces of liberalism may march forward together"
 Monday, June 24, he spoke at 9 luncheon meeting given in his honor by the American Prepara- tory Committee for the Interna- tional Student Conference, which will be held in Prague, Czecho- S1ovakia in August. He stressed the famine in South Africa, as sailing the press for it's failure to .acquaint the American people with the sufferings of the native peoples, concluding that colonial exploitation must go" since eff we are to have world peace we must have world freedom"
 At the inaugural meeting of the Young Citizens Political Action Committee Southern and Western white delegates hailed Jackson as one of the most progressive youth leaders in the nation, nominating him as one of the twelve vice chairman. He was unanimously elected to serve until after the November elections when nation al convention of the Young Citi- zens PAC will be held. Rev. Rich ard Kuch, associate director of Unitarian Youth, was elected chairman of the national council.

Giants WaIlop Cassiidys, 9-l

BOSTON, July 3 - Putting 6
 double clincher on their title as
 the best baseball team playing the
 East this season, Bob RusselPs
 Boston Giants walloped- their tra-
 ditional enemies the Cassidys in a
 one-sided 9-1 score Monday after
 noon.
 The twilight game was played
 at the Giants home park, Carter
 Field, before one of the largest mid-season crowds that has turned out this year.
 The game brought back after l an eight-year retirement the old veteran Elmer Monroe. Monroe, for many years one of the out standing New England schoolooy moundsmen who later played for the Giants and other teams, has recently been throwing a b,N OF two at the Airport where he works. A few days ago he asked Manager Russell to let him pitch a game; Against the toughest opposition you've got" he told Bob. Bob let him face the Cassidys, ready to pull him after an inning or so when he got into trouble. Instead, Elmer let the Cassidy batsmen have scant five hits scattered throughout the innings where they couldn't do any harm. and struck out several of the normally hard-hitters from the invading nine.
 Elmer is one of the few living colored hurlers who can boast of having beaten the justly famous little Danny McFayden, one of major league baseball's all-tine greats.
 The Giants move to New York, where they play one of the games of Fourth of July double header at the Polo Grounds. They return for another game at Carter Play ground next Monday afternoon.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

just kept rolling along. Billy want ed to win. He knew he couldn't win with his much-vaunted boxing skill and speed, he hoped for a miracle, miracle that would make Joe beat himself.
 Joe Sized Up Billy
 Joe could have knocked him out at any time from the second round on, but Joe never underestimates an opponent. Conn had prepared for the fight in a thorough man ner. When he stepped into the ring, his chance to win was equal to Joe's, so far as hitting and ducking goes, so Joe had to feel him out, analyze his purpose, be- fore he went in for the kill. Louis was being cautious, he had been out of the ring for serious pur- poses for almost five years, and while he had confidence in him self, he also realized that what he planned to do, could also happen to him.
 There wasn't a person in the Yankee Stadium who didn't believe. after the first round, that Joe Louis would rock Billy to sleep before the evening was over, and there aren't as many as you might think who are disappointed in the way most of the sports writers say they are. True enough they wanted to see Billy Conn show enough fight to make it an inter esting contest, but few of them agree with Brooklyn's Congress- man O'Too1e that the fix was in. O'Toole, let me say in passing, comes to the public's attention for the first time during his tenure. I have never heard of him before, and I daresay, neither have you. He's in the limelight now through an unfair accusation, and Joe Louis is still the cleanest, most sports manlike champ the game has ever had.
 Zenith Of Joe's Career To Date
 When the tumult and the shout ing have died down a bit, and the fans take cooler look at the pro- ceedings, they will realize that they saw the greatest Joe Louis of his entire career in action against Conn. At 32, Louis has reached the peak of his develop ment as the best fighting machine of all time. He outboxed Conn, and he out-thought him all the way. He kept his balance with the ease and grace of an adagio danc- CT while shuffiing flat-footed to cor ner his man. There isn't a heavy in the world who can beat the champ, although there are dozens of contenders who can get into the ring with him and make it more interesting than did game Billy Conn. If there was anything wrong with the fight, it could be that Conn was scared, and Joe was cautious, and you can't blame either of them.
