Scllelners Blast
 Way Into Finish

On the wings of two thrilling last inning rallies, the Schemers Softban team thundered into the finals of the Boston Amateur Soft ball Association Invitation Tourna- ment which opened at Franklin Field Sunday. The tournament fin als will be held Sunday, Septem- Der 29 at 2 p.m., on the Boston Common. The Schemers will op- pose the Boston Feds, claimants of the Park Department Cham pionship.
 The first game was a slugfest with E. B. Auto Body team finally gaining an s-6 edge as the Sche- mers got up for their last raps. Andy Wells singled, Walter Moore walked, and the injured Lou Isaacs doubled both runners home. Fran kie Bonitto running for Isaacs scored the winning marker on Max Schwartz alphabetically
 In the semi-finals the Schemers faced Esso Colonial Beacon, HUB League champs. ESSO had just obliterated Hunt-Spiller 12-1. This game was replete with tight field ing and minimum of base hits. Nip-and-tuck for five innings, 3-3, ESSO went ahead in the 9th on hits 4-3. Andy Newton tripled to open the Schemers 9th, but died there when the next three batters popped. Bonitto opened the last of the final inning with a high fly to short right and speedy running landed him on second when the ball spun to the turf. Walker grounded him to third. and the game was tied when Bonitto slid in safe after Wells fouled to right. Newton bashed out his sec- ond straight triple to open the last of the first overtime stanza. Schwartz topped a slow roller to bring Newt in with the winning run. (Whew, againD

reiterated the need for leader
 ship from the White House, say
 ing that the decent people in
 Georgia and other areas are con-
 fused and need the clarion voice
 of the Chief Executive - that
 should President Truman speak
 out on this subject, it would
 bolster the morale of liberal forces throughot the world. The delegation presented Presi- dent Truman with the following statement which was signed by all the members present.
 "While representatives of the United States today labor at the Paris Peace Conference and in the United Nations to create a world of peace based on human freedom and justice, their words and actions are made a mockery by and unprecedented wave of mob violence in the United States, and can do more to in- iure our country at home and abroad than any other single evil. American citizens, and in particular Negro veterans of the late war for human freedom, have been done to death or mu- tilated with savagery equa1led only at Buchenwald. At least the excuse was given for the torture and execution in Nazi concen- tration camps that the victims were enemies of the State. But recent victims of American lynch CTS were in numerous instances men who but recently returned to the United States after having fought for it's preservation over seas. Instead of gratitude they have been paid off in savagery.
 "We come to you today, MT. President, however, not to plead the cause of any one segment of the American people. We repre- sent various parts of the people of America-church, labor, manage ment, minorities - and we are, confident we voice the sentiment of all decent Americans when we emphasize the obvious fact that unchecked mob violence can do more to injure our country at home and abroad than any other single evil.

In Rhode Island
by Al fOCCer MANAGERS AND COACHES
By Al Potter

The sold-out World Series in Boston is virtually all that remains of this ball season. All local semi pro ball teams had pretty fail season, and now here word fol the managers and coaches of these Rhode Island Clubs:
 After some dissension in the 'tfront office" during the early part of the season, the Invader A. C. played top-notch ball during Aug ust and September under the guid- anee of Bennie Gill and Jeff Coach man, who finally had a shakeup of the team, and by placing players in their proper positions came through with a winning combina- tion. According to MT. Gill who has worked hard for the teams success, the Invaders are looking forward to big things in AT. He has contacted the New York Black Yankees for a July 4 exhibition contest.
 Louis Wills and "Red" Smith direct the diamond destinies of the Providence Eagles. The team, or the verge of collapse after the Warren game at Hope Field, was rescued through the efforts of the hard-working, but unassuming Wills, who obtained new players to finish out the season. Meanwhile Smith obtained slugging Dick Har- ris from the Invaders, and Harris is definite asset. to any team or which he plays.
 Tony Farmer" Santos started the Holy Rosary team in April with only a 11-man squad of "iron Folkes 6 rhode island sport circles men," The team got off to a bad start in it's first few games, but Santos exhibiting great patience brought the team along to amply avenge those defeats and hit it's winning stride. At the end of the season the Holy Rosary's infeld is the same man for man and posi- tion for position as it was in April. Frank Jackson, who joined early in the season, and Ju Ju Comes, who finally decided to play in July, were used as outfelders to rest the pitchers. Farmer" who is both

I '"The names of a number of mob leaders and participants have been gathered and turned over to the Department of Justice. But for variety of reasons, includ- ing. we freely admit, the made quacy of present federal legisla- ton, there has been no visible ac- ton in the form of arrests or convictions. This abseree of ac- ton is serving as green light to organized and unorganized mobs and subversive organizations which seek to substitute the law of the jungle for the democratic process.
 "We, therefore, respectfully petition you, Mir. President, to take the following steps:
 1. To insist that the law of en-
 forcement agencies of the
 Federal Government concen-
 trate upon securing evidence
 against and prosecution of
 
 appeasement of any politi-
 cal, sectional, or other de-
 lenders of mob violence. 2. That you rouse the Ameri-
 can people by radio, press,
 and other media to oppose
 actively every form of mob
 violence.
 3. That you call upon the Con-
 gress to reconvene to enact
 such legislation as it is
 necessary to enable the Fed
 eral Government, in CO.,
 operation with the states, to
 stop lynching and to punish
 1ynchers.
 "We are convinced that only prompt and unequivoca1 action by the Federal Government can pos sibly avert a disastrous squirting of this evil which is victimizing not only members of minorities but is threatening to engulf all America"
 Those invited to participate in the conference with the President who were unable to go but sent telegrams were: Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Bishop Bernard J. Shell of Chicago and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.

Truman Vows To End Mob Violence In U.S.A

President Truman today held {
 conference at the White Hous,
 with a delegation from the re
 gently formed National Elmer
 gency Committee Against Mol
 Violence. The Committee, formed
 at the call of the NAACP, repre-. sents AT national labor, church
 women's, publishers, lawyers civil rights. and fraternal organiza- tions. Its delegation was warmly received by the president. His interest in the subject was so great that he spent thirty-fve in- stead of the prearranged 15 minutes discussing the situation with the group, which included Dr. Charming H. Tobias, Frederick E. Reissing of the Federal ,Coun- cil of Churches of Christ in America, James Carey, Sec. of the CQO, Boris Shishkin of the AFL, and Walter White, Secre- tary, and Leslie Perry, Admins trative Assistant, of the NAACP.
 Serving as spokesman of the group, MT. White urged the presi- dent to act to stem the rising tide of lynchings and violence against Negroes. He described to the president circumstances leading up to the blinding of Isaac Wood ard, calling attention to the fact that Sheriff L. M. Shull of Bates burg. s. C., boasted that it was all his handiwork. MT. White fur ther pointed out the fact that the NAACP has submitted to the De- partment of Justice the names of participants in the quadruple lynching in Walton County, Georgia, and the blow-torch, meat-cleaver lynching in Minden, Louisiana-emphasizing the fact that the Department has not yet moved for indictment. The plight of the defendants and counsel in the prejudices-ridden court in Lawrenceburg, Tenn, was de- tailed to the President, and MT. White cited the remark of Dis trict Attorney Bumpus that he was going to wrap a chair around that t'nigger' lawyers head if he didn't stop contradicting him, re- ferring to NAACP defense coun- selor Dr. Leon A. Ransom.
 The President said that this wave of violence has been one of his greatest problems. Visibly moved by the story of Woodlands blinding, he said that nothing he could think of could justify a sheriff doing what this one did - that there must be some law un- der which the sheriff can be han dled. He promised the group that he would take up the matters discussed with Attorney General Clark the next day.
 Doctor Tobias told the Presi- dent that he had just returned from Africa via London and that, abroad there was great admira- tion for the United States, but everywhere he went where the papers played up this country's 1ynchirgs, he could see that America had lost a great deal of it's prestige.

Philadelphia Hotel Makes
Apology To NYU athletes

at the Benjamin Franklin it was
necessary for the six Negro stars
and two white companions, who re-
fused to remain at the hotel if the
Negroes could not do so, to seek
lodging at the University of Penn
sylvania.
1t was not until late at night that
the men were given a place to stay
in an unheated dormitory room.
There was no linen on the beds
they were given to sleep on, and not
even enough beds. Some of the men
had to sleep on mattresses on the
floor.
Because the men were not able to
get their proper rest and because
of the strain they were placed un-
der the track team of NYU made
it's worst showing in 26 years in
COIHpcClClOu.
Counsel for the Benjamin Frank
lin hotel apologized for a hotel en-
ploye's refusal to rent roms to the
Negro members of the team. On be-
half of the owners they declared
the action was unauthorized. They
promised that there would be no
further acts Of discrimination on
the part of any employe Of the hotel
or the hotel management, and
agreed to have that statement put
in writing, signed by the officers

Louis and Conn will weigh in at
Madison Square Garden this
morning with spectators limited to
the press and radio people. And
then there will be nothing to do but
show up for the fight.
Considering all the angles, it
should be a terrific battle, if their
war experiences haven't taken too
much away from either or both. If
it isn't good fight, it won't be for
lack of interest or effort-as it

$4,000 Will SEE CHAMPIONSHIP Fight
Louis And Conn Meet
In Renewal OfOld Feud

NEW YORK, June 19.-(SPl.)--
Joe Louis and Billy Conn are going
to keep an engagement at Yankee
Stadium tonight-one set back four
years by the unfanthomable for
tunes of war.
Ring time is 10 pm (EDT) or 8
pm. Dayton time.
Conn, the smiling Pittsburgh
Irishman, gets his second, and prob
ably last chance to wrest the heavy
weight championship Of the world
from Louis broad and dusky shoul-
ders.
For the privilege of seeing these
two ring-rusty veterans in action,
upwards of $4,000 people are pay
ing the highest fight price of all
time, but they will comprise only
a minute segment Of the millions
Of fight fans. And ordinary people
intent on learning the outcome of
this battle. Seldom has an event,
sporting or otherwise, had the bene-
fit of a natural buildup over as long
a period of time.
Five years ago, Conn, fighting
his first major bout in the heavy
weight ranks, by whirlwind speed,
kept away from the lethal "sleep"
in Joe's fists, and with a rapier-like
left jabbing the champs face, had
him on the run through the first IL
rounds.
But in a memorable thirteenth,
Conn tossed caution to the winds
and tried to trade punches with
the bomber-a fatal mistake, as he
was knockout victim before the
end of the round.
Whether Conn could have won
the title on points that night will
always remain a hotly debated, un-
answerable question-but the nat
ural solution was a rematch.
The rematch was delayed because
the pricipals involved had another
kind of fight on their hands, and so
during the war years, through
dozens of inferior fights at initiation
prices, the big topic of conversation
among ring fans remained Louis and
Conn. Without the expense and ef-
fort of promotion campaign Mike
Jacobs had a natural building up.
Conn had been looking forward
to it, because he is firmly convinced
he is the next heavyweight champ.
Louis has been looking forward
to it, for he has long resented the
inference that Conn was beating
him in their first fight, and is anx-
ious to put Pittsburgh Billy to sleep
