 clever East Providence ring veter- an, gave Jean Richard, tough Can adian fighter a boxing lesson last Wednesday at Nanny Almeida's
 Arcadia Downtown AC before 1860 fans.
 The Taber- Richard set-to, while not as fast-moving as their mi tial match, was nevertheless packed with excitement, and saw Taber out-smarting and out punching the Montreal gamester in almost every department. As in the last bout Ta5er again foored his opponent in the second stanza, this time with a right hook to the body that fioored Richard for the count of eight. Richard struggled to his feet, and remained covered up in a crouch while Taber belab- ored him with rights and lefts, trying for a knockout. The Can adian regained his wind and went on to finish, but was never able

The Department of Justice, which makes gestures by sending !FIBI men to watch the Georgia polls but which does little else be- sides to enforce the 18th Amend ment, is run by Attorney General Tom Clark of Texas. Mir. Clark and his right-hand man, J.

 Worst of all, our foreign policy with it's bulldog batting of Russia and with it's fevered preparations for World War III, is run by 8 man of Babylon. He is President Truman's old and intimate friend Secretary of State Jimmie Byrnes who comes from the lynch-crop country of South Carolina. MT.

 Green, incidentally, proved ev- cry inch of his worth in the game He is the hard-hitting white lad who had already piled up an en- viable record with the Canadian Northern League before he joined the Giants. His five hits accounted for three of the Giants six runs.
 Priceless Price, the lovely fe- male representative on the team, was an instant hit with the packed stands. She went up in the ninth as a pinch-hitter, but was too late to save her teammates from the inevitable drubbing.
 Jit Taylor, despite the fact that he is one of the oldest veterans still active in the game, did fine job on second base for the Giants.

Universal Cricket Club of Cam bridge and Wanderers CC of Bos- ton clashed in a game of cricket last Saturday on the North Brighton playground. Wanderers lost the game to Universal after many disputes caused iby the un- fair decisions and indiscreet tactics of Umpire Eraithwaite of the Uni versal Club.
 The cricketers of this state is again reminded that cricket is a gentleman's game an ds'hould be treated as such at all times. This column admits that misunder- standings created by anxiety to win the game will occur; but it must be executed with decency, good judgment and an extra DOT tion of common sense. If the Mas sachusetts State Cricket League cannot find a remedy to heal this wound then a change of officers of the League is needed.

 It was an afternoon of great jubilation at Franklin Field last Saturday by the cricket lovers of Windsor CC when they witnessed the defeat of West India in the second match of the season with Windsor. The bowling of Isaacs was terrific, the fielding fair. West India scored only 29 against Wind sors 99. Tom Norman did his best. Lester Benn missed his mark.

 New York and Boston Game
 Last Saturday night the Boston o'clock arriving in New York at am. The match started after 10 o'clock in the afternoon at Van Cortlandt Park. Boston went to the wicket first and rolled up a score of 139 with G. Campden Cox the skipper making top score. Af- ter luncheon New York batted and scored more than 40 runs for the loss of wickets. The early stage of the winning the score board showed 80-1-12 for New York. The bowling of Boston was inef- fective the fielding was not too good - which in my opinion is due to the physical ability of the home team. After a few hours from a match at Franklin Field on Saturday, then a bus drive to New York, another few hours and the game was called for play It is now reasonable to accept that Boston had a tough going, yet they made a good showing which was permeated with good sound sportsmanship. A large number of cricket lovers watched the game. A banquet after the game and Boston again took the bus for home, arriving in time for those who had to punch the time clock at 8 am.
 The match between Universal co and Windsor CC at Franklin today ought to be one of the best contested games of the season,

Last Sunday at Bulkeley Stadium, the Nutmeg Elks, one an even split with the fast Traum Brewers, local white semi-pro team whose roster is studded with stars from the Eastern and other minor leagues.
 The Brewers with Flood on the mound won the first game 6-5. Lefty James Black was on the mound for the Elks and although he allowed only 8 hits to Floods II, a wild throw by catcher Her man Pole proved the undoing of the Elks.
 In the second game, Obie Mar tin allowed the Brewers g hits but kept them scattered while Lefty Joe Bonk, the Brewers finger allowed 8.
 The Elks with some fine heads up baseball, some nifty base-run- ming and timely hitting, won the second game 7-3.

soJTTH OF THE BORDER IS WHERE THE AMERICAN WAY REALLY WORKS

New York-To Horace Greeley goes the credit for the continuing exodus of young men into the West. It was his blunt, ''Go West, young man, Go West" "that ln- fuenced the destiny of countless migratory souls who poured into the uncharted regions to grow up with the country. Not having been around when the great Greeley ut tered the words that started the human stampede, it is difficult fol me to know exactly what he meant, or why he was moved to speak the words that were to change the course of history. How ever, I was very much on the scene when the affable brothers Pasquale extended a cordial lnvl- tation to all of the ball-playlng gentry to hit the trail for south of the border, and happy I am about it too, for I am privileged to see the American way really working in a part of America that is not the United States.
 When the Pasqual brothers real ly got going on their program to build baseball in their native land, they didn't handicap their efforts by asking the color of a mans skin, but they did show anyone who was interested, the color of their money. They introduced a new angle into the big game by giving the boys who did the work and drew the crowds a fair hunk of the profits instead of utilizing the. American system of paying off with glamour and newspaper clip pings.
 At the moment, the Mexican League is doing very nicely, thank you, and the color line, which seems to be the major distinction of the American game, is nowhere in evidence. A Negro short-stop by the name of Dandridge is the talk of the eight team circuit, and he is a hero to the Mexican fans who are warmly demonstrative and can outdo Brooklyn fans in enthusiasm when they have some thing to shout about.

GiantSOn Short End Of Bad One

Brockton, Mass, July 30 - New England's first professional inter- racial baseball team suffered its first major defeat this season here at ,Brockton Park last Sunday when the Taunton Lumber Nine defeated the New England Inter race Giants 16-6 in a game that was thrilling every step of the way despite the one-sided score.
 The Taunton team, while not too well known outside of Massachu- setts, is really big-time competi- ton. The Interraces realized this in the first part of the initial in ming. (Taunton has already defeat ed the crack House of David team this year). However, behind the pitching of three Giant hurlers - Dorset, Miller and Tyler and the excellent fielding of George Green,

 Babylon Vs Mankind

1 believe that MT. Byrnes' for eign policy alone shows that Baby lon is out to rule the whole world and to turn the whole world into a second Mississippi. Maybe, up- on us who have been the prisoners of Babylon is laid the responsibi- lity of saving the world from total destruction by hammering down Babylon's main jailhouse - the white Southern Democratic party. Which doesn't mean, of course, that we shouldn't go into the Dixie Democratic primaries where ever we can and help elect those who follow the principles of Lin- coin and Roosevelt arther than the policies of Byrnes and Babylon.
 The place where the hammer can be swung the hardest in is Georgia which has already made such fine human gains under Gov ernor Arnall. Georgia was testify ing for the living South when it abolished the poll tax and the chain gang, extended the vote to the 18-year olds, adopted a new state constitution, increased school appropriations, and took the lead in fighting for indqstrialization of our homeland by fighting to smash discriminatory freight rates.
 Durinp the last four- years the forward-looking people of both Georgia as a city set on hill colors in Dixie have looked to with it's lights shining as a beacon of hope for the whole South.
 Let's hope that Georgia will pi- oneer politically as she has pion- eered in other fields. Let us hope that the people of Georgia will not let their lights be drowned out by Gene Talmadge's tarbucket.
 Let's get going, Georgia.

Holy Rosary Team
 Defeats Invaders
By Al Potter

Providence, R. 1.-The Provi- dence Holy Rosary baseball team scored a 1O-S victory over the Pro- vidence Invaders Sunday at Took wotton Park in a see-saw contest marked by the daring base-run- ming of the Holy Rosary players. Ray Edmunds, the winning pitch CT, was wild in spots but received fairly good support to win his 9th victory. Aston Dortch, losing hur- Ter, showed fine control, and linn tied his opponents to a scanty number of hits, but received poor support from the Invaders infield.
 The Invaders opened the scoring in the 1st inning when Eraxton was hit by pitched ball, stole second, and scored on Don Fay lor's sharp single to left. The Fox Pointers came back with three tal- lies in the third, when Pima reached on shortstop's Robbie's err TOT of his bounder, stole, second, then third. Ernie Duarte stole sec ond after being hit by a pitch, and both men scored when Braxton booted Jackson's grounder around the infeld. Jackson scored from third on fielder's choice.
 Luke Fears single, followed by Jimmy Roses double down the right field fowl line accounted for another Invader run in the 9th. Don Taylor walked, and Blues triple cleared the bases of both Rose and Taylor to make the score Invaders 4, Holy Rosary 8. In their half of the sixth Holy Rosa ry came up with seven runs when the East Sider's infield fell apart. an error and 2 hits brought the Invaders 4 runs in the seventh after two men were out, the score 1O-8 in favor of Holy Rosary and winding up the scoring for the day.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

time long enough to know what he is talking about says there are at least a dozen Negro players or Mexican cams who could go into the lineup of any of the Ameri- can or National League teams anC make good without warm-up.
 It must be a source of keen dis. appointment to some of the sports
 writers who tried from the begin
 ing to Ourlesque the Mexican League. They hit at the climate
 and the customs of the people trying to show the boys how diff ferent things would be down Mex leo way. What they didn't realize
 is that the boys wanted something different from what they had beer accustomed to at home.
 In the United States, the fans wax rabid and talk a good game but they are indifferent to the cal ibre of player they see perform for the millions of dollars they pour into the ccffers of the base ball barons each year. They are satisfied that they are seeing the best men in the business in action, but a trip down to see the Mexican League in action will make them dissatisfied with the best they have at home.
 When the players don one of the uniforms in the Mexican League, it can be truthfully said that they are playing out of sheer love of the game, because the money end of the deal has been taken care of so that thy won't be playing for marbles. There is no limit to the high degree of baseball perform ance to be seen in Mexico. Because they are no racial barriers, no mans ability is barred. A good Negro player can be as certain of a berth as any other player.
 Consequently, it is not surpris- ing to hear reports that the eight teams in the Mexican League will show more class in a season or two than the hest we have to offer in the States. Baseball will have to take on a truly international as- pect and include the Mexican League if it wants to maintain it's big business standard.
 One of the most noticeable things about baseball as it is played over the border is the fine spirit that prevails on all of the teams. The boys "talk it up," with real spirit, and team morale is higher than that which presently in gringo land. Maybe it's a bit early to make such a predic- ton, but I'll go out on a limb and say that unless the Dodgers put 1im in the league legitimately this season, Jackie Robinson will lend an attentive ear to offers to take his stuff to the land of tamales and enchilladas. The Pasquale brothers are not missing any bets when it comes to getting the best, and they have had their eyes on Jackie for long time.
