BODY OF DAVE COLGATE FOUND BY SEARCHERS

The body of Dave Colgate, which was found by Andrew Pe- terson of Salmon Lake and re- ported to the U. s. Commissioner Jim Adams and Fred Rohn who were out looking for him, was brought to town late Monday, from Banner station.
 The old man, the only pioneer Negro resident here, has operated the U. S. Roadhouse on the raIi- road for about 20 years, taking it over from Albert Watson in 1929, was 79 years old. Always courte- ous and friendly, he was well liked in the community. The last few years he had become almost blind but continued to live the lonely life of a prospector.
 He was found lying alongside his sled with his gun. All four dogs of his faithful team stayed with him although they had not had food for eleven or twelve days it is estimated. The body was placed on the sled and pulled to town by these dogs with the addi- ton of leader from Fred Rohn's team.~s

Urge Wallace To Seek Presidency

NEW YORK, (P-Former vice president Henry A. Wallace was urged formally last night by the Progressive Citizens of America to seek the Presidency next year on an independent ticket.
 The action brought the resigna- tion of Dr. Frank Kingdom, P.C.A. co-chairman, who cast the sole dissenting vote in the organiza- tion's executive committee.
 Kingdom, explaining his resig- nation, said he had no criticism of Wallace and that he had advised the former cabinet officer to seek the Democratic nomination for President.
 The P.C.A. is a consolidation of a number of liberal organizations including the National Citizens Political Action Committee and the Independent Citizens Commit tee for the Arts and Sciences.

CLEVELAND, July l8.-The
Mats Stan Spence has blasted
four home runs at Detroit'S
Briggs Stadium this season, each
into the upper right-tield deck
and each with Mickey Vernon on
base. The first pair was made
successfully off Stubby Overmire
and the second set also Socked-
successfully off AL Benton.
In five games against Detroit
the Mats scored II runs in the
first inning alone, but pathetic
pitching offset the batting sprees.
Jerry Priddy and Umpire Joe
Boyer exchanged heated words
Wednesday, with the Mats sec
ond baseman inviting the UNI
pire to trade blows under the

remark to Boyer about, a close
play at the plate and Boyer re-
piled, You guys are all alike.

led to several hundred others.

Browns Hope Negroes
Twill Lift Club From
Leagues Cellar
sy the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, July 18.-The st.
Louis Browns have become the third
modern major league ball club to
open the door to Negro players,
joining the Brooklyn Dodgers and
Cleveland Indians with the signing
Of two men and the purchase of an
option on third.
Infielder Henry Thompson and
Outfielder Willard Brown joined
Harold muddy Ruel's club last
night, with Thompson seeing action
at second base against the Phila-
delphia Athletics-but he went hit
less in four batting trips and
chalked up an error on a grounder.
Both players came to st. Louis
from the Kansas City Monarchs in
the Negro American Baseball
League, where Thompson was hit
ting .347 and Brown 1888. Owner
Richard Muckerman of the Browns
said the two players were signed ito
help lift the Browns out of the
American League cellar"
0ct opSlOu OH DAVIS
Shortly before the announcement
of the signing of Brown and Thomp-
son, Bill De Witt, the Browns gen.
eral manager, said the club had pur-
chased 30-day option on Negro In
fielder Lorenzo CPiper> Davis of the
Birmingham (Ala) Black Barons,
but he will remain with the Birming-
ham team during the period while
the Browns continue to scout him.
To make room for the two new
comers the Browns optioned First
Baseman Jerry Witte to Toledo of
the American Association and young
Perry Currin, shortstop, recently
taken from Westinghouse High
School in Arlington, Va, went to
Springfield, Ill, in the Three-I
League.
Outfielder Brown was considered
to be the prize package of the lot
with only his age against him.
Brownie officials reported his age
as 26, but he was believed to be at
least 30. He has been with the
Kansas City club for more than 10
years and spent 31a years in service.
Both Brown and Thompson were in
the European theater during the
war.
Brown Is Hefty Player.
Brown is nearly feet tall, weighs
around 200 pounds and bats and
throws right handed. Thompson,
81, was playing his first season with
the Monarchs.
Brown and Thompson were intro
duced to the rest of the team shortly
before last nights contest and both
men were given the same reception
as all newcomers.

Tricky Wafer Annoys
Kelly in Defense Of
U. 5. Rowing Title
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, July 18-Rowing's big
tWo-day national regatta opened to-
day on the Detroit River with 400
amateur oarsmen on hand to form
more than 100 crews in the 27-race
program, but all eyes were on young
John B. Kelly, jr., the 20-year-old
University of Pennsylvania fresh
man who recently realized his ia
ther's dream by taking the Diamond
Souls at Henley on the Thames.
Fortified with rowing's most priced
individual championship, young
Kelly is here to defend his national
single SOULS title won a year ago at
Philadelphia.
Joe Angyal of New York, Joe Nc
Intyre of Philadelphia and Theo
Dubois Of Winnipeg, former ma
ticnal champion, stood between
Kelly and his second straight ma
tional championship, but the young
Philadelphian's only worry con-
cerned the surface of the Detroit
River at the Detroit Boat Clubs
regatta course.
That tricky water had me wor-
ried," Kelly declared after practice
turn on the river. "It twists and
turns the shell, making steering diff
ficult. I have to hold the oars much
firmer than usual and that could
tie up the muscles in my arms"
Kelly also was afraid the rough
water might cause his light, .28-
pound shell to split under pressure
but observers along the river saw
no cause for alarm as he sought to
maintain a record of never having
lost race in the United States.
While top interest centered on
Kelly's title defense, so many en-
tries were on hand for the other
events that qualifying heats were
scheduled in four of the features
to swell the program to 27 races
Eight of the II championship events
were scheduled for today with the
remainder Saturday.
Detroit Boat Club, defending its
club championship won last year at
Philadelphia, was favored in only
one event, the senior IS, which will
close the regatta program late to-
morrow

League Mark Tied Yanks Eye Major Win Record
Bombers Need 7 More
To Match Giants 26
Straight Victories:
By Joe ReichIer
Assoeio'ed Press Sports Writer


The New York Yankees merci-
less victory march in the American
League had even the rival National
League clubs jittery today.
With 10 straight victories under
their belts to tie the American
League consecutive win record, the
Bronx Bombers are casting covetous
glances at the only two winning
streaks exceeding theirs-the 81
straight by the 1885 Chicago Cubs
and the major league record of 26
polled by the New York Giants in
1916.
The Yankees made it 10 in a row
yesterday when they defeated the
Cleveland Indians in both ends of
a double header, 81 and To, at
Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. The
double victory enabled them to
equal the 41-year-old standard set
by the Chicago White Sox in 1906.
The opener was a special occa-
sion for Bobo Newson, the much
travelled pitcher who finally landed
with the Yankees last week after
having been with seven other big
league clubs. Old Bobo scattered
nine hits effectively to register his
second straight win in Yankee
uniform, his sixth of the season and
the 2Ooth of his big league career.
McQuinn Heads Yank Attack.
Vic Raschi, q 29-year- old right
handler recalled recently from Port
land of the Pacific Coast League,
doled out six hits in the second
game to gain his second victory in
a week. Veteran First Baseman
George McQuinn was the batting
star, getting two hits in each game,
one tWo-run homer.
The double win enabled the Yanks
to maintain their 11h-game lead
over the second-place Detroit
Tigers.
The Boston Red Sox remained a
game behind the Tigers by winning
two from the White Sox in Chi
cago, Al and 6-3, the second game
going ii innings. Joe Dobson, who
has become the number one pitcher
on the Red Sox staff, won his 10th
game with a six-hit effort in the
opener.
The Philadelphia Athletics, lead
ing 7-2 going into the ninth inning,
Whacked, across nine more runs to
trounce the st. Louis Browns in a
night game in st. Louis, 1872.
A queen trumped a king on the
diamond when Mel Queen, newest
pitching member of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, won over Clyde King and
the Brooklyn Dodges, II, at Ebbets
Field. Queen scattered eight hits for
his first victory of the season as the
Pirates made it three out of four
against Brooklyn.
Cards Close in on Dodgers.
The fourth place st. Louis Cardi-
nails moved within Az games of the
National League leading Dodgers
when they defeated the Braves in
a night game in Boston, So. The
Braves, in losing, remained in sec
ond place, ~ games behind the
Brooks and only a half length in
front of the third-place New York
Giants. -
HARRY (The Cat) Brecheen scat
tered nine hits for his 11th victory
and drove in the first two Cardinal
runs. Brecheen, after having been
hit by a batted bah for the third
time in the game, had to be taken
out after eight innings. Brecheen
said later in the clubhouse that the
pain went beyond the wrist of his
throwing arm.
