Satchel Paige went II innings
to win the second game of Cleve-
lands Sunday doubleheader.. Man
ager Lou Boudreau batting for
Satch in the last of the 18th sing
led home the winning run to beat
the Chicago White Sox 2-1.
The ageless highlander proved
to Boudreau that he is one to be
reconed with when it comes to top
flight hurting. His win gave the
world champs their first win in
eight games and was masterful all
the way.
1t was the second start for the
former Kansas City ace, who has
been bothered with stomach all
ings throughout the this season.
With Bob Teller and Bob Lem
on still among the doubtful start
ers, Satch must be counted on to
bring the Indians back to their
championship calibre as the seas
on grows.
Dayton Dunbar showed none of
their championship form in the an

finished in the eighth slot and
failed to take a single event.

he blasted one into the bleachers,

Neighborhood
Terrorized by Gun
Battle

The disgraceful spectacle on
Germantown St. this weekend
must cease if the west side is to
become a respectable place in
which to live. We refer to the
incident in the backyard near the
junction of Washington and Ger
mantown St., when two grown men
commenced shooting at one an
other as if they were enemy SOL
diers in a war battle.
One Of the men had a pistol,
the other a rifle or shotgun. They
sniped wildly at each other in
the backyard. Brandishing his
weapon all the while, the man with
the pistol ran out on the sidewalk
and walked up to the corner fran
tically, as if he were being stalked
Meanwhile, the neighborhood was
terrorized. For awhile bullets
were flying everywhere. 1t was
only a miracle that someone was
not hit. More so since it hap
pened at an hour when the area
was at its busiest. Many were
doing last minute shopping before
the stores closed and many were
on their way home from work.
The police were unable to dis
cover who tn e participants were.
No n cooperates with them. This
is shameful, for these men were
placing dozens of lives in jeopardy

err Abyssinian Baptist Chruch E.

nounced the unanimous action of
the Ohio State Baptist Convention
opposing the Bartunek-S eibert
bill, SB No. 345.
SB 345 is the bill now before

would require all ETAOINNNU
would require every organization
to register its membership with
the state, and it would restrict
the ballot to practically all but the
two major parties.
"This bill would subject all sup
porters of FEPC or other social
legislation to heavy fines and op-
pressive Jail terms unless they
would register their membership
officers and minutes with the state
Rev. Plummer declared.
."SB 345 sets up the Registra-
ton State in Ohio, he declared.
"You cannot deprive any spe-
cific minority of it's constitutional
rights, no matter how much you
disagree with them, without at
the same time depriving every
other minority Of it's constitution
al rights"
Delegates to the convention also
signed a strong statement to the
press and presented to the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Included in
the signers of the statement were
Mrs. August Shaw of Dayton.

An examination Of population
trends between 1887 and 1947 re-

while Western Europe, excluding
Western Germany, has increased
