 Moose ..., 2 % 3 2 900 12 Douglas. 000 5 O 2 000 0 2

The Moose picked up the seasons longest game in the first of the tenth last night when they staged a last frame rally to bring in five runs, break the ninth inning TT tie, and send the Douglas Fire men home the losers in a close one. Lawrensen then settled down to fan the Douglas batters as fast as they came to the plate and cin- ched the game.
 In the last of the. ninth it look ed as though Douglas had dumped the league leading Moose when Littlefield connected with two men on and the same number down, but quick fielding pickup by John Floberg had the ball on first in front of Littlefield for the third and decisive out.
 Exceptional fielding was staged by Krause and Dodson, who were doing their share when bringing down the impossible" ones.

JOE LOUIS IN NEW
 ROLE OF "IF" NOW
By JACK HAND

NEW YORK, June 15--tR--Joe Louis looks strange in his new role of Big If" for the return heavy weight title bout with Jersey Joe Walcott June 23
 Always before the champ has been the solid, known quantity. The chal- lenger has been the question mark. Things have changed since last De- cember.
 About Louis and his knockout power, they're not so positive any moro.
 Has he lost his punch? Has he slowed down? Can he get into tip top shape? Have his hands lost their speed? Can he solve Walcott's pro- yoking style.
 Those are the questions they're asking about the Brown Bomber who puts his crown on the line for the 25th time a week from tomor- row in the Yankee Stadium ring.

SELF-MJURY THRU
RACE PREJUDICE

The U. s. Supreme Court re-
Gently ruled that the State OF
Oklahoma must provide as good

Negro woman who was refused

The Negro applicant is an honor

where she took preparatory cour-
SEES. She was refused admission
to the State University two years
ago because Oklahoma's constitu-
ton sanctions racial segregation
in schools. The State Supreme
Court denied the young Negro
students appeal, but the United

The Rugged Road

1t was rugged individualism to

Men and women learned self-rel-

to fight their own battles, to
make their own way. Here, in
America, we live in the stubborn

in America, we live in a tradition
of self-reliance, where we may
succeed or fail according to our
own efforts.
Even as the tempters scurried
along the Bethany road to ensnare
the Christian pilgrim, we oft hear
the voices that say, Surrender
your opportunity for the certain
ty that you shall always have
bread" as If man lived by
bread alone; as if our country
were better served limiting all to
mediocrity instead of assuring to
all a chance to rise by their own
efforts, conscious of their obliga-
lions to others.
The miracle of America, like
unto the miracle of Bethany, is in
the faith and loyalty of its peo-
pie. The American way of life
really is America. Let us keep 1t

Are You Freezing?---
Call President Truman

WASHINGTON The Fred
Harris household here ran out
of fuel oil during the night and
couldn't get any more delivered.
So Mrs. Harris telephoned the
White House and asked to speak
to President Truman.
Somebody told her the Presi-
dent was in conference and sug-
gested she send a telegram. Mrs.
Harris, whose husband is a Negro
day laborer, did so.
I'VE don't have any oil here"
she telegraphed Mr.. Truman. I'VE
are freezing. Tried to get some
and could not. VIII you see what
you can do for us right away"
Four hours after Mrs. Harris
first called the White House 1000
gallons of oil was on the way to
her and her neighbors Then,
just to make sure, the district
fuel co-ordinator dispatched an
other 1900 gallons.

BLACK BABIES

Twill a dark child result from
the union of apparently white
parents, one of whom has had
Negro ancestry" asks DR.. Curt
Stern, University of California
zoologist.
THE scientific answer" he con-
tinues, in the current Journal OF
Heredity, sis in contradiction to
belief very widely held by lay
men that black children may re-
suit from such marriages" The
science of genitics brands this be-
lief as false. There is no evidence
that any marriage of white and
part-Negro ever produced a child
darker than the darker parent.
But the "black throwback" leg
end is firmly planted in many lay
mems minds. Typical. says DR..
Stern, is the ease history pre-
scented him afer a popular lee
ture on eugenics. Several mem
bers of the audience came up to
the lecture platform and told him
they actual knew Of a really dark
baby" born to apparently white
parents. Tha black baby, it was
claimed, had caused divorce of
the socially prominent" parents.
The mother, said Stern's inform
ants, was white and the father
Southern with white complexion
but presumptive Negro back
ground" Another reported the
father was white, that it was the
mother who had Negro blood"
In the second version the "black
baby" also was replaced by very
dark twins"
Tracers
DR.. Stern and his assistants
adopted detective methods, quizzed
almost everyone in the community
to get at the facts. They even
found and questioned a member
of the family in which the sup
posedly black baby had been born.
The facts, as they finally emer-
ged: Late last century a white
man had married a woman with
known Negro ancestry. Probably
one of her parents was white. The
marriage yielded four children who
were outwardly white, though one
had dark, kinky hair. One of these
four, a daughter married white
white man with no Negro ancestry.
Error
This marriage ended in divorce
and the only child (quite white)
went to live with his father This
was source of the rumor that the

cision to visit here as bid to

on which the u. s. were founded.
Those who practiced racial pre-
JUDGE apparently do not realize
its subversive influence. It is in
furious to the progress of the
nation, for when any section of
the population is denied good
educational opportunities. In the
long run the nation will suffer
in one way or another. Had the
United States provided equal OPP
portunities for education and econ
onomic security to Negroes and
other minority groups, its develop
ment would probably have been
accelerated.
There is no scientific support
for the theory that white people
are superior. On the contrary,
there is much evidence in the
U. s. that Negro children are often
born with exceptional ability, IL
given the opportunity, may turn
out to be geniuses. The late DR..
Carver became a genius in science
despite the handcaps which slav-
cry and poverty placed on him
in his youth.
There are other examples: -
three-year-old Margaret Harris of
Chicago recently gave a concert
playing Bach and Mozart COM
positions; 11-year-old Phillipa
Schuyler has composed a SYM
phony which was performed by
the New York Philarmonica Or
chestra; Craig Work, the son
of Negro Social Workers, became
the country's Youngest Phi. d. at
the age of 10. When he was 10
years old his /. @. was reported
to be 1908. He is one of the few
Negro scientists doing research
at the U. S. atomic bomb project.
And there might have been many
more such able workers had they
been given chance.
