water, sewer systems, in mosquitoes,

It's like politics. The unions of New
York can be menaced by legislation
offered by a Congressman from any
other state. Labor interest in politics
became national long ago. Now it has
become international.
Many unions have become interest
ed in capitalization plans-all to the
good. The next step is health to keep
members and their families OUT of
hospitals.
A slum area can endanger the health
of whole city. Labor's interest is as
broad as the public interest. Labor
ought to act on that premise always
and everywhere.
There's no other safe premise. Dis
ease doesn't care where it strikes, no
matter from whence it comes.
Labor nationally has made it policy
to work with councils of social agen-
cies. That is good place to join the
effort, for in every council of social
agencies there are many units devoted
to health work.
Such councils cupport or prod health
departments. Community meath is
tackled as a community wide prob
lem. You cannot improve community
health on the basis Of any unit smaller
than the community. And in many
cases the community health problem
is larger than the community.
Air travel has helped to make it so
There are too many labor leaders
who have yet to learn to think ani

CHERRY TREE,
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes Hippantly, some
times recklessly.

John L. Lewis has raised an issue
that merits lot of thought through
out organized labor That is HEALTH.
Whether Lewis is proceeding sound
ly, or even automatically, is not the
question here. Let that be another
matter, for now at least.
Unions have long had their sick
benefit funds and their burial funds.
Some even have had their hospitals.
They have contributed to better
health and longer life by their con-
slant battle for better working condi-
tions and higher wages, out of which
have come better living conditions. By
these means their contribution to bet
ter health has been beyond calcula-
ton.
But there is something to consider
besides the health of the immediate
membership. That is public health.
Lewis apparently is fighting for a
health program for his members. But,
you can't live on an island of health.
Immediate membership health is a
lot, but it isn't the whole thing.
Contagion can come from any
where. And often it does.
There can be menace in milk, in

act about health. They consider their
job has been done when they have
done the traditional things. Tradition
can be killing thing. 1t can freeze
thinking.
Well, when officers fail to lead as
they should, the membership has its
chance to go into action-and on health
that's exactly what it should do.
Many cities have formed health and
hospital councils, to bring about clos
er cooperation between public and pri-
vate organizations working in health
fields. These can eliminate duplica-
tion, prod sleepy organizations and
generally bring community health

program into being on proper basis.
Labor should be represented capably
in every such council. Labor can offer
an invaluable leadership where it is
on it's toes and where it selects men
on the basis of ability and energy. Any
other basis is futile and leads to a
discrediting performance, or lack Of
performance.
Labor nationally has put its seal Of
approval on going full tilt ahead in
this field. It has done an intelligent
thing, even if perhaps belatedly.
Labor in communities should follow
this lead. They will reap their reward
in better community health, which

Get Twin Victories

Fast returning to their pre-war form, the hard hitting Wolverine Nine nipped the fast-stepping St.
 Lazarus aggregation in an eleven inning dual Sunday afternoon, at Moves Park by a score of 8-7. St. Lazarus, two times victors over the Boston Colored Giants this
 year, took an early 50 lead and appeared we'll on their way to vic tory. Undaunted, the Wolverines scored one run in the 9th and an- other in the 9th, to get back into the running, but the East Boston lads tallied twice in the last half of the latter chapter to maintain a fve-run advantage at 7-2. A long double by Davis, however, in the stretch session with two aboard added to the locals cause. The Wolverines succeeded in tying up the game in the 9th at ? all, to send it into overtime. The 10th remained scoreless, but in the 11th, Joe B'racey slammed a 390 foot homer to deep center to break up the ball game. Lefty Tyler, who relieved Chet Adams in the sec

Sclenlers Top Esso lnL League

History in local sports was made last week when the Schem- CTS trounced the undefeated ESSO Colonial Beacon softball team A tc 9. The vaunted ESSO club went into the skirmish with an
 unstained record and had only to polish off the once beaten postal clerks to cop the first half title of the Hub League. The Schemers, representing the first colored en- try in Boston Park League soft ball, extended it's fine record by whipping the oilmen and conse- quently tie them for first half honors. Timely hitting by Burt Walker, Andy Wells, Capt. Lou Isaacs and Manager Frankie Be- nitto got the Schemers off to an Ill lead in innings over the befuddled ESSOs. The strong belting oilers finally got the range, but the letter weilders early foot was too much to overtake. A play eff game is now necessary to de- eide the first half. The 'Schemers roster includes Walter Moore 1st, Warren Reid c, Andy Newton ss, Mox Schwartz of, Les Ford 1st.

 For the first time since I have been following them I found the Giants so helpless. The boys from Bridgeport started out with a bang in the very first inning with one run. Middletown's only run came in the second inning after Baker : triple.
 It was fine playing by the Bridgeport fellows. Come again soon. l am sure that the attend ance will be greater .next time. You have shown that Middletown can be stopped.
 Earl Baker and Fletcher Henry are the only Negroes playing with the Middletown Giants now. With Baker behind bat and Henry on first the spectators are always in for some fine playing.

Mansfield Is Victim Of Thief

'Cleveland-Emanuel Mansfield, tenor, enroute to Denver, Col, via Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio, was robbed of his suitcase having his complete formal attire and all per sonal accessories while stopping for an hours rest at the home of his uncle, Walter Middleton, 352O E. Scoville, here.
 Mansfield and his accompanist, Bob Evans left Washington D. C., tomake the 1900 mile trip by auto to Devens to fill a seven-con- cert booking in that vicinity. The extremely close time schedule did not allow an attempt to report the theft or any change of possible re- covery. Asked wha was of most value, MT. Mansfield said his per sonal diary containing many valu- able personal and business con- tacts and references was probably the most valuable not to mention the personal discomfort of being left with only the clothes on his back while on tour.

Eagles Split DoubleEleader
By Al Potter

Providence, R. I. - Before one
 of the seasons largest crowds the
 Providence Eagles came out even
 at Hopkins Park Sunday by de-
 feating the Sharon AC 6-5 after
 losing to the Hartford Vets 7-2 in the opener of a double-header.
 In the initial contest Hartford
 garnered five markers in the 1st inning on errors and walks; three of the runs coming when Leonar- dos long fly ball to left field was r1isjudged, clearing the bases of the three runners. They picked up two more runs in the 7th. The Eagles scored once in the 4th and once in the eighth. A fast double play from Skiera tc Pima Skiera; 1st to End, back to 1st, was the feature. of the g"me. Batteries were Gubato anI Torai for the Vets and Ernie lewis and Bourne for the Eagles. |,
 In the nightcap Prieston of tine Eagles opposed McNair Of ;he Sharon AC. Sharon opened the scoring in the 2nd. The visitors scored again in the 5th on walk, a sacrifice, and wild throw, Whit ney scoring when McNair's grounder went through Gagnon. The Eagles held big rally in their half of the 9th to get four runs. Jimmy Lewis opened the frame with a hard drive to center.
 Outstanding throughout the two games was the defensive work of diminutive Pete Pima, Eagle shortstop, whose circus catch of Markets texas-leaguer ball in the eighth was the best play of the day. His namesake, Bart Pima, took care of the hitting with time | y singles.
 It was the 2nd time that Fries 5on has set down Sharon, having handed them a 1O-4 setback on ;Ee 4th of July at Sharon.

POST SEASON TRANSFORMING TOUR WILL WORK OUT NEGRO
 BASEBALLERS

New York = Shortly after the last million hot dogs and several tons of hot roasted peanuts are consumed by the rabid partisans of both leagues during the final games of the Worlds Series, Bob Teller, wonder boy pitcher of the Cleveland Indians, will hit the road with a picked aggregation of stars from both major leagues to ex- hibit against the best of the Ne gro baseballers. Not only will the addicts get chance to view Eel ler's havoc-raising freball, but in addition they will see some of the best talent in the majors going through their paces under pressure from the crack performers of the Negro big time.
 Teller has selected a tentative combination of stars, the roster of which reads like Who's Who in the great national past-time, and ev- cry game should provide hundred thrills and a million arguments about the calibre of the opposing players. Serving with Teller on the mound will be the Yankees Spud Chandler, Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Tigers, and Jack Kram- CT of the St. Louis Browns. It is probable that others will be added later, when final arrangements are completed.
 As it stands now, the tour will start in Cleveland early in Octo- Der and extend to at least 16 other points. Los Angeles San Francis co, and Oakland will be the chos- en spots for the Pacific coast with stop-overs planned for New York, Chicago, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Omaha, Kan sas City, Louisville and Balti more, to mention a few. Line-Up Incomplete
 The lineup for the Negro stars has not been completed to date, but the pitching staff will be shaped up with Satchel Paige in the lead. Jackie Robinson, Mon treal ace, will show plenty on the second sack, and Josh Gibson, strong-armed keystone guardian, will hold down the main catching assignment. With all of the bril- liant material on tap on the Ne gro circuits, a strong combination

Wise, the project pitcher lost control and passed two batters in the fourth inning. Santillo of the club boys banged a scorching hit towards first, first baseman Joe Johnson made a one hand stab, wheeled and hurled the ball to Eddie Burns, who tagged second and he in turn whipped the ball right back to Johnson who tagged first for another forced out retiring the score. It was one of the best plays pulled off in some time. The kids are good.
