RACE BATTER HAS NOTHING

By Jimmie N. Jones

Jake "Pants" Powell, a trivial
baseball player, noted for his re-
marks toward Dayon Negroes in
an interview, back in 1886 when
he told reporters his hobby in off
season periods was Clubbing Ms
over the head. Powell told report
ers he was a Dayton Police and
he enjoyed hitting them over the
head. Following his remarks over
the radio brought untold protests
to the then Commissioner Mount
ain K. Lands and was fined and
suspended for the remarks. Pow
ell never was a Dayton Police
man and his blow-off made him
the most unpopular personality in
the city. He has been in many
run-ins with the law and has at
last run out in his diamond car

Officials Can
Recall Only One Cross
Burning in Is Years

A report emanates from Wash
ington that is a whopper to local
citizens. 1t concerns a statement
of Dayton Police Inspector Krug
before a congressional committee
inuiring into the causes of the
Univis dispute.
Herbert Hirschberg, ~Interna-
tional Representatives of the
United Electrical Workers, de-
clared that the local police ignor-
ed two Khan cross burnings dur
ing the strike. The dates were
July 4 and July 8 (Hirschberg
was reported as giving July IL
as one of the dates, but actually
it way July 81
Krug, under oath, denied that
he could recall only one cross
burning in the 25 years he has
been on the police force, and
that was twenty years ago.
Technically Krug was correct,
the b%urnings were just outside
the city limits in the county. But
had the police concerned them
selves, Krug would have mention
ed this fact to the committee in
stead of trying to make it appear
as if there we're no cross burn
ing at all. Furthermore, Krug's
memory cannot be so short as to
forget the cross which was burn
ed within the city limits last year.
1t happened near the new Robe
son Homes.
H~irschberg raised an ecellent
point in mentioning the camplete
inactivity of city and county au-
thoritles on these anti-Negro,
terrorist activities by the Ku Klux
Khan. Local union officials repre-
senting over 10000 workers made
an official protest, and a demand
for action to combat these sub
versive Klan elements in our mid
st, but not even a press notice
was granted, let alone police act
ion.
We repeat the demand for act
ion before violence flares up as
a result of the Khan challenge to
the Negro.

Bloody Saga Of Early Kansas

TULSA, OKLA. "A warrant for
the arrest of the three Dalton
brothers and five of their compan'
ions who blazed a trail of stage,
train and bank robberies across
Oklahoma and Kansas is now in the
hands of a Tulsa man.
Had the warrant served its pur-
pose, the bloody end of the Dalton
gang at Coffeyville, Kan, might
never have occurred. The paper
shows that a U. S. deputy marshal
wandered from place to place for
two months in an effort to serve the
warrant, which charged the gang
with the S11 900 robbery of a Wells
Fargo Express company office at
Red Rock, Okla.
Bill Tilghman, whose reputation
as a competent law officer was wide
spread, was handed the warrant Ly

On October 5, 1892, the Daltons
rode into Coffeyville. Bob and En-
NETT robbed the First National bank
and escaped with $4,000. At the
same time Graf Dalton, with hench-
men Bill Powers and Dick Broad
well, went to the Condor National
bank. There a teller stalled them
long enough for Coffeyville citizens
to be alerted.
A party of vigilantes surrounded
the bank and the Daltons were
trapped. Powers and Broadwell
reached their horses, mounted but
were cut down before they could
get away.
In the same alley, Bob and Graf
Dalton were riddled with bullets as
they vainly tried to reach their
horses. Emmett Dalton, still in his
teens, was wounded seriously.
Today, Coffeyville residents show
visitors the alley where the furious
shooting match took place.

CLEVELAND --(ANP)- Leroy
"Satcher' Paige, the legendary
right-hand hurler formerly with
the Kansas City Monarchs, I'M
corked visible evidence before his
new boss, Bill Veeck of the Cleve-
land Indians, of his unique Prov
ess with the league ball here last
week. veeck, who has signed
Paige for the rest of the season
as relief hurler on Bob Feller's
recommendation, was somewhat
dubious about the many stories
he had heard of the hurler's ac-
curacy and deceptiveness with
the ball.
Facing new teammates in try
out, Paige tossed SO pitches from
the mound to men like Lou
Boudreau, Cleveland manager,
and some of the regulars. Out of
the so, he slipped A strikes over
the plate. That was enough to
convince Veeck that he still has
enough stuff left to be dan
gerous to the Indians opponents.
Satchell, however, is not new to
the game of facing major league
batters. He has pitched against
such greats as Dizzy Dean, Bob
Teller and many others, in ALI
star games.
Born in Mobile, Ala, between
80 and so years ago, Paige at
tended Tuskegee Institute for a
short time, and is remembered by
few of the oldtimers around the
school as a tall country boy who
ambled down Greenwood Avenue
toward the administration build
ing-and he has not lost that
country walk yet.
His fast ball brought him into
prominence while with the Bir-
mingham Black Barons in 1928.
Later he signed with the Amer
lean Giants, then drifted to the
Pittsburgh Crawfords where he
became famous as battery mate
for the late Josh Gibson. From
