Race Discrimination
Hit by Speakers
From ; Faiths

Representatives of the Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish faiths joined in
condemning race discrimination and
segregation as being contrary to
religious principles at a Lincoln's
birthday celebration in Pierce Hall,
Fifteenth and Harvard streets NV,
last night.
Mrs. Theodore o. Wedel, chairman
of the Committee on Christian Social
Relations of the United Council of
Church Women, told the meeting
discrimination is prevalent in the
Protestant Church In the North as
well as in the South. She explained
1t is not deliberate, however, but the
result of tradition.
More Protestants are becoming
aware of the inconsistency of Our
position" she said. "A Christian
cannot accept the theory of dis
elimination between races"
Discrimination Held Heresy.
The Rev. DR.. Wilfrid Parsons,
chaplain of the Catholic Inter-racial
Conference, said 1t was Christian
doctrine that all men are sons of
God and brothers Of Christ.
There is only one kind of mem
bership in the church-flrst class
membership" he said. with us
race discrimination is heresy. It
means two kinds of church member
ship"
Rabbi Solomon II. Metz of Adas
Israel Synagogue told the meeting,
sponsored by the League for World
Brotherhood, that "as far as Juda-
ism is concerned, we do not know
what 1t is to discriminate because
of race"
He said the Central Conference
Of American Rabbis had adopted
platform stating that "all racial dis
elimination and segregation should
be banned by law by the States and
by the Nation"
A hope that every one in Wash
ington" would read the recent re-
port on race relations prepared for
the Council of Social Agencies was
expressed by DR.. E. B. Henderson,
vice chairman of the Committee
for Racial Democracy in the Ma
tion's Capital.
Direct Action Advocated.
He called for abolition of the dual
school system which creates a gulf
between the groups" makes white
children feel superior" and colored
children inferior" The prohibi-
tion against mixed sporting meets"
also was condemned by DR.. Hender-
SON
Mrs. Jean Campbell Clements,
chairman of the Subcommittee on
Discrimination in Public Places of
the Committee for Racial Democracy
in the Nations Capital, said her
group favored direct action tech
niques." She said the plan was to
win a victory in the theater field,
then progress to the restaurants
and department stores.
Other speakers included DR.. Joseph
H. Douglas, executive director of the
Washington Urban League; Miss
Constance Hook, executive chair
man Of the League for World
Brotherhood, and DR.. Leroy A. Hal
bert, league vice president, who pre-
sided at the meeting.

AM-S+ors Lose In
AAU Tournament

The Local IL All-Stars dropped
the first game in the Northwest
ern Ohio A. A. u. Basketball
Tournament, Tuesday night at
Scott High School, to the Sny-
Ider-Saam team by the close
score of AZ to 81.
The game, however, was pro-
tested by manager Harvey Robe
Ideau who states that no stop
watch was furnished by tourna-
ment officials and that an ordi-
nary wrist watch was used by
the official timekeeper.
Ezra Moore, diminutive guard
of the All-StarS, was easily the
outstanding player of the game.
Moore broke up several of the
ISnyder-Saam plays which looked
like sure baskets to the spects-
tors. Besides playing a whale of
a game at guard, he accounted
for 18 of his teams total points.
Bob Aultman played his usual
fine game at center, while Ray
Myers and Eddie Hill performed
well at the forward positions.
Johnny Manore did well at guard
and broke through the Snyder
Saam defense for a few Spectac-
.ular plays. Manager Robedeau
used several capable substitutes
in Jeep Ehrbright, Bill Provon-
sha, Don Schuette, Jim Aultman
and Chuck Swinghammer.

1t is generally agreed that
Leo is heading for a great fall
unless there's a strong enough
influence to deflate him. Not
even Prexy Branch Hickey
has enough control over his
team manager, it is under
stood, to make Leo see that
he's heading right out of base
ball unless he makes a fast
change in attitude. His radio
contract, and his invasion"
of Hollywood are considered
the greatest factors in max
ing Leo what he is today.
When he led the Dodgers
into a post-season series with
the Cardinals last season that
overshadowed the Worl d
Series itself for interest and
excitement, Leo's ego went
sky high.
Whenever Leo and Branch
Hickey talk, Branch comes
out second best. Leo says he's
running the club, and Branch
can take it or leave it. Maybe
Hickey will leave it. 1t
would be a smart move, at
that, since Dixie Walker is
around ready to jump into
the breach most any time,
and baseball--the sport-can
do well without Leo.

sessing one of the toulest
mouths in baseball. He could
abuse player in about seven
different languages in one
sentence. Arky Vaughan, the
third base candidate, was the
recipient of one of Leo's ver-
bal lashings, and no matter
what anyone tells you,
Vaughan quit the team in
1943 because he couldn't
stand the unwarranted Wifi
cations hurled at him by Du-
rocher.
Even the Dodger coaches,
Ray Blades, Clyde Sukeforth
and Jake Pitler are not ex-
empt from Leo's abusive
tongue. He doesn't hesitate
to tell the coaches-in un-
pleasant terms - that they
don't know a baseball bat
from a pogo stick. Just i'm
agine what the situation is
going to be when the season
starts!

gained the close judges verdict
because of his devastating left
jab with which he constantly
bothered the Union ringman.
The dicision was loudly booed
by the crowd.
Art Rae, the heavyweight en-
trant from Toledo and also a
member of the Local IL boxing
stable, also won his first fight
and then was eliminated in his
second bout of the evening. In
the first contest, Art Rae started
strong and was on top of his
opponent from the opening gong
and scored many solid blows to
build up a sizeable margin of
points over Bob Killing, Fort
Wayne, Indiana.
In his second bout of the eve
ming, the Local IL fighter ran
up against a very tough oppo-
nent in the person of Richard
Hagan, of Chicago, and after a
close round, was sent to the can
vas for the count of eight. When
Rae again regained his feet, he
ran into a furry of punches
from the Chicago battler, and
the strain of two flights in sue
cession was too much for the
Toledoan and he lost the deci-
sion on technical tko. 1t was
discovered, after the fight that
Rae had broken his collar bone.
Buddy Carr, light heavy
weight of the Toledo team de-
feated two opponents, and with
another Times winner Pat
(Spunky) very, flyweight,
who won his two bouts on the
first nighte of the tournament,
were Salted to fight in the
quater-finals Wednesday night.

Old man winter is obllglng
with plenty of good near-zero
weather for that bravest of out
door sportsmen, the ice fisher
man. The latest reports are that
the ice conditions at Bolles Har-
Dor, Detroit Beach, Irish Hills
and Sandusky Bay are very
good.
The high winds and below nor
NAL temperatures made fishing
at its worst at Bolles Harbor
last Sunday. Edward Turski
Chuck Rodgers and myself were
out on the ice at the crack OF
dawn and fished until noon
without getting as much as one
little nibble.
Sammy Moore of the Auto
Lite Unit reports the nimrods
that fished the Sandusky Bay
and Catawba Cliffs areas did
not do any better, although Sam
did say he saw couple of swell
pike caught near Catawba.
Strange as 1t seems, while
fishing last Friday at Little
Dewey Lake in the Irish Hills,
my neighbor, Joe Miller, and
his wife caught IL large perch,
the smallest measuring better
than 10 inches in length. Some
people have all the luck.
Here's a bit of dope on the
care of your outboard motor
when you take 1t out of the
moth balls this spring:
When you plan to run 1t for
several hours on end, 1t pays to
add more oil to gasoline than
the instruction specify-up to
twice as much. II is better to
dirty up the motor a little, rather
than chance burning out bear
ing.
The Outboard Boating Club
of America issued a recent warn
ing that is worth needing. They
urge the use of an oil especially
made for outboard motors by
several large companies, and
now being marketed.
Modern auto oils, the club as
serts, contain agents that are in
tended to prevent the formation
of sludge. These ingredients
scrub" sludge from vitals of en-
gines whose oil remains In the
crankcase. and so does not con-
tact sparkplugs or piston heads.
However, the club says that
when such an oil Is drawn into
the cylinder head of outboard
engine, the lubricant is likely to
turn into a substance that re-
varnish.
It's interesting to know that
the government has finally rec
ognized the rapidly growing in
terest in outdoor recreation.
Six federal agencies, each active
in one or more phases are mem
bers of a newly organized Fed
eral Inter-Agency Committee on
Outdoor Life and Recreation.
Establishment Of the commit
tee recognizes the need of vol
untary coordination and CO.
operative leadership among the
various agencies to assure the
usefulness of lands
valuable for recreation. The
new program will give special

the outdoors.

Hall BowIers
Beat WHY'S;
Mather Wins ;

In the mlQQle OF the SedSOii
there wasn't too much atten-
ton being paid to the Mather
Spring bowlers, who were
looked upon as just another
team to finish nearer the bottom
in the standings in the Mems
Local IL loop which operates
each Monday night at the Bowl
O-Drome alleys.
Within the past few weeks
they caught a winning spark
which the other teams, includ-
ing the leaders, are having a
tough time to check. After
climbing to within three games
of the second place Bingham
Stamping last week, the Mather
hopes reached a new high pitch
when they trounced the Por-
celain Enamel team three games
while the league leading WHY'S
Ovrland bunch lost three and
Bingham Stamping came out of
their meele with Pressed Steel
winning two, the first by seven
pins.
In making the clean sweep the
Mather's had four men with
creditable 500 series, giving
them high three game total for
the season. Hank Malkowski
having SIS on games of 221 and
200 after a 154 start paved the
way for thewinners. He had help
from Syl Matuszak with $50,
Tony Kosnek 545 and Andy
Dobrochowski a $40 series, for
team total of 2721.
The leading WHY'S team ran
into a hot Hall Mfg. crew who
had four of their bowlers hitting
the 500 mark by fairly good
margins. Fritz Raabe was the
pace setter with 557 followed by
anchor man Bill Waters with
one pin less and Hank Stoway's
551 and Ollie Wysocki who had
sos.
Ollie OwcZarzak and Jim
Czerniak were the high scores
for the Bingham team in win
ming the pair from Toledo
Pressed Steel who had Walt
Szafarowicz and Vic Bieniek
putting up the high individual
totals.
The other match had the
Standard Commutators taking
two games from Gordon Bumper.
Led by Frank Molik shooting
545 and Walt Wodarski 538 and
Cliff Dunn just five pins less.
Ray Lewan's 582 was the big
total for the Commutators.
High scores in the Women's
were at a premium Sun
day afternoon at Hagerty's
alleys.
There wern't any 400 series
and highest single
game effort was put up by |
Roberta Krohn of the DeVilbiss
No. team which gave her the
only victory against Toledo
Industrial Rub Der. Virginia
Flowers rolled a 100 and Dolly
Valigosky l52 for the Sprayers.
Addie 10th came through with
1877 and Eva Upton a 157
game to give Willys No. / the
lone win against the Auto-Lite
team who had Pauline Proch up
with l57 and Florence Kubat
matching that single game score.
Standard Commutators found |
the l59 game by Jean Augusti-
MAX of some help in winning
two games from Lakeside Bis
cult. Owen Ploughman had a 154
game as high among the Laks-
side bowlerettes.
Willys No. l found the ISL
by Margaret Belegrin of
good assistance when they won
TWO games from DeVilbiss No. 2
5eam. Cathay Thornton came
through with 158 to place high
on the DeVilbiss team.

Dodgers might truly have been a happy
family, set to head off the World Champion
Cardinals as soon as possible, and to build
up big enough lead by July 4 to be able
to almost coast through the rest of the

There isn't a player on the squad who
