a Texas Lacquer back of second,
scoring Conyers and Manarik, with
Burns taking third and Griefzu
holding up at first. That's all for
Poffenberger, Stamos now pitching.
Ankrum then hit a high foul back
of the plate. Crumling caught it
and umpire Rose (where have l
heard that name before) called An
krum out. This brought a vigorous
protest from manager Bell, who
claimed that the ball hit the screen
and bounced off. A big argument
followed and Rose reversed his de-
cision, ruling that the ball had hit
the screen before Crumling caught
it.
Ankrum then fouled out on long
high fly near the third base line,
with Griefzu going to second after
the catch and Burns holding third.
Manager Griffiths then instructed
Stamos to throw the ball to Jenis at
first, claiming that Griefzu failed to
tag up at first after Ankrum's foul
fly was caught. But base umpire
Graft overruled him Stockhausen
up next and he drew an intentional
walk, filling the bases for the third
time in the inning,
Piercey up for the second time in
the inning, popped high foul back
of the plate, which Crumling dropp-

Piercey then popped to short to end
the agony, after four runs had been
scored to give Harrisburg a 6-3 lead
Harrisburg added two more in the
sixth for good measure, on Koer-

ering crowd of $50 fans, with the
temperature around "a degrees.
Owcar pitched the full game for
Hagerstown, giving up four hits
including a home run and double;
walking five men Zone of whom was
hit by a pitched balD and striking
out three Baxter, who won the
opening game of the season for Har-
risburg, started for the Senators and
although he got credit for the win,
he wasn't around when the game
ended, being relieved by Charlie
Supple in the sixth, with one out,
after giving up three runs in the
inning.
Sipple, who won 10 and lost seven
for the Senators last season, was
sold to Wilkes Barre, who returned
him to Harrisburg on Tuesday,
just in time to get into the game.
After a scoreless first inning the
Senators jumped out in front in
their half of the second, when, with
one out Ankrum got base on balls:
Stockhousen dropped Texas Leag-
er in short center, with Ankrum
going to third; Baxter flied deep to
right. Buell. then doubled off the
fence in center field, and Stock
hansen scored all the way from first.
Koerner flied to right to end the
rally, giving the Senators a 20 lead.
In the Owls half of the Second,
Yeash singled with two away, but

in their half of the third, but Har-
risburg came up with three more
runs in their half.
Conyers walked to open the inn
ing. Manarik sacrificed him down
to second and he went on to third
when Owcar's throw to second went
into center field. Burns then walk
ed on four straight balls Git was

next and he lifted one over the
scoreboard in left field, scoring be-
hind Conyers and Burns, to give the

only one hit, single by Stockhausen
in the sixth.
The Owls got their first run (and
their second hit) in the fifth, when
Jenis opened the inning with walk.

Oren Sterling received a letter
from Tony Matarazzo on Tuesday,
in which he said he had changed his
mind about quitting organized ball
and wanted to play again. Mr..
Sterling wired him Immediately to
report at once and he may have ar
rived here by the time you read
this.
Pete Kantor, the promising young
catcher, has been sent to Rome, in
the Canadian-American League,
where he will be able to catch reg
ularly.
Pete Stamos, the pitcher, has been
sent to the Troy Club, in Alabama.
Bunny Griniths likes the new
catcher Elmer Swanson, sent in by
Williamsport, on option. He told
me that he was very fast for a big
man and that he had plenty of
power.
The best crack about that track
meet" in Allentown on Monday
night came from the Owls dressing
room in the Stadium on Tuesday
night, while the boys were chang
ing clothes after the opening game
with Sunbury had been postponed
due to rain, when one of the play
ers turned to me and said: eff we
had only been able to kick that
field goal in the last quarter, Doug,
we would have at least tied the
score" You will remember that the
final score was 1916.

guilty of treason, we have never
tried to kill a President neither

measure these gentlemen by their
worth and not by where they come
from.
Neither Rev. Nelson nor the
NAACP can expect people to take
them seriously in their mouthings
about legislation against separate
schools and unfair employment
practices which cannot be passed
without very great help from
white friends while they speak dis
courteously about the too few
white people who now are assist
ing us in other and highly impor-
tant matters. Their relationship
to which Rev. Nelson refers as
white leadership" is regarded as
friendly cooperation and Christian
brotherhood by intelligent and Sa-
gacious Negroes.
We shall neither assaSsinate our
teachers from the south nor alien
ate our white friends. Any pro-
posal to the contrary marks its au-
thor as a menace to the general
community.
Where our schools fail to offer
equal facilities we should not hesi-
tate to take necessary action which
is not always via the courts.
Other forms of segregation and
discrimination should be fought
vigorously, with clear thinking,
careful planning and diplomatic
action.
Emotional and windy speeches
that only excite the masses are
never helpful. Ours is a difficult
task which can be made more diff
ficult by foolish and needless
utteranceS.

The People Speak
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
AS an active member of the
NAACP I wish to express my deep
resentment to parts of the NAACP
announcement which appeared in
the April 18th issue of THE ARR
IONA SUN.
Most vehemently do l and many
other we'll wishers of the NAACP
object to Rev. Nelson's senseless,
unprovoked and un-Christian as
sault upon our many fine teachers
of southern birth and training who
have brought to our community a
veritable wealth of refinement,
culture, training and scholastic
ability. To attempt to create SEN
timent against teachers on the
basis of sectionaliSm is a crime
against common decency that our
community will not tolerate.
Our NAACP is supported by
people from all parts of the coun-
try for the purpose of bringing us
together in a common\ fight against
segregation, discrimination and in
justices imposed upon us by others.
We do not support the NAACP
for the purpose of creating dis
elimination and division among
ourselves.
Well prepared teachers from
Georgia or any of the southern
states are no less Objectionable
than a preacher who comes to us
from Mississippi via Tennessee.
Mississippi, the state of Bilbo, Ran
kins, and illiteracy.
The local secretary of our
NAACP, so they say, claims the
distinction of Louisiana birth. The
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas ct al are we'll represented on
! it's several committees and it's
board. And our distinguished
NAACP leader, Walter White is a
Georgian by accident of birth.
Shall we discriminate against
| these?
1t is a safe assumption that the
large majority of our able minis
ters are of southern origin. Shall
we run them out of town when 1t
is generally known that in every
instance they are men of high
Christian principles and are offer
ing us type of leadership that is
not excelled in other cities of COM

THE strength of democracy lies
in the wisdom and eligehtment of
it's people. This fact was discovered
many generations ago, and for this
cause, our nation set out to pro-
vide educational opportunities for
it's citizens. America has lost
the strength of thousands of
Negroes because they have been
denied the right to knowledge and
training. Racial discrimination in
education has been the most eff
fective weapon in the hands of
those who would keep the Negro
fralf-slave and half-free. BY deny
ing the Negroes the opportunity
to attain the Skills of leadership,
the prejudice White element in
America insures itsself against the
danger of any large number OF
Negro professionals, Lawyers, Ed
ucators and officials of ever be-
coming outstanding leaders over
them. If the Negro were given an
equal chance in the educational
field, there would be none to excel
him in any phase of leadership.
There are two major ways by
which the White m a n can
can hold the Negro down. and the
sad part about it, the White man
knows it, but most Negros seem
not to yet realize it: Cd BY al
lowing him only an inferior ed
ucation: 90 BY keeping him
divided within his own race. Have
our children ever read in their
school books toay, that one out
of every ten american citizens is
Negro? No. that is too dangerous
for them to know. It is safer for
them to hang around some beer

Carver MOnarchs To Enter Relays
Tomorrow Night
BY WILLIAM MAXWELL


The second annual Arizona Re-
lays will be held tomorrow night,
beginning at 7:15, at Arizona State
College at Tempe. The Carver
High thinclads have entered and
stand a better than average
chance of coping one or two of
the six relays on the program.
Carver's entries are as follows:
440-yd. relay: McNear, Gray,
Davis and McCuin.
88O-yd. sprint medley: McNear
(220), Davis Q1O, McCuin Q1O
and Giles (440).
One mile medley: M C N r
(44O), Davis or Gray (220), Nc
Cuin (22O), Giles $500.
1t is possible that Carver may
also enter the one-mile and shut
tie hurdle relays, depending of
course upon the opposition in these
and other events. Carver may
have to limit her entries, for it has
to rely upon the same few boys
to carry the schools colorS in all
of the events. Carver'S individual
entries are:
lloyd. high hurdles: Hagler.
100-yd dash: McNear.
High jump: Christopher, Bonner
and Gilbert.
Shot put: Christopher, Relf and
LeF'orbes.
