NAACP Makes Plans For
National Rights Drive

Plans for a nationwide drive to
secure enactment OF civil rights
legislation early in the second ses-
sion of the 8lst Congress were
formulated by the emergency civil
rights committee of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People which concluded
its two-day session Saturday MORN
ing in the Associations offices, 20
West 40th Street, New York.
The committee, authorized by the
NAACP 40th annual conference
in Los Angeles last July, prepared
for civil rights campaigns on the
local, state and national levels,
invited the cooperation of organiz-
ed labor, churches and other
groups, agreed to initiate a regis
tration drive, and made plans for
bringing delegations into Wash
ington for a mass meeting and a
series of conferences with repre-
sentatives and senators, january
1917, 1850.
with the end of the first ses-
sion of the 8lst Congress at hand"
the committee said in a statement
of policy and detectives, it is
now apparent that campaign
| pledges to pass effective civil
rights legislation have been OPEN
ly and flagrantly repudiated. If
this legislation is to be enacted in
the second session of the 8lst Con-
gress, the people of America must
be modified as never before to
this end"

JUNIOR M0UNTAINEER
 SETS PACE FOR PARTY
 CLIMBING MI. JUNEAU

A youngster set the pace for a party of mountain climbers Satur- day, but it was too fast a clip for the adults.
 You folks are too slow!" was the cnly complaint made by John Elkins, 7-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. w. A. Elkins. As tie adults
 took it easy" on the steep slopes of Mount Juneau, Johnny would call from ahead, Come on, you guys, what are you waiting for?'
 One of the group, Miss Mary Louise Crowell, wonders if John may be the youngest climber to inscribe his name in the record book at the top.
 In the group were John and his parents, Miss Crowell and Mrs Urban Nelson They made the ascent in about five hours, and came down in three and a hail.
 The trail is in fine condition, and Leautiful flowers in many varieties are to be seen, they report. They saw lots of ptarmigan-but not one bear

Baffing in
 Nail. League

NEW YORK, July 26-lR-St. Louis devilish duo-Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter-went on a batting tear during the last week but neither as yet threatens Jackie Robinson's grip on the National League batting leadership.
 Musial isn't even in the top ten although he boosted his mark from .29O to BOA with a sensational eight for IA at Brooklyn's Eh~ets Field. Slaughter, however, shot up from 18th to tie for third with another Redbird teammate, Al (Red) Schoendienst.
 The hustling Cardinal outfielder collected IS hits in 30 times during the week and raised his figure to 1928. That was still 36 points be- hind Robinson's league leading .35e. The brilliant Brooklyn second baseman fell off a bit, shedding seven points from his .366 of a week ago.
 Robinson's closest pursuer was Willard Marshall, the stocky out fielder of the New York Giants, whose .332 entitled him to second place.

FLAG K ACE GETS WARM,
 7 LEAGUES
By JOE REICHLER

Throw the first three months ou of the window, boys-the Nationa League Pennant race is just be ginning.
 It took IA weeks, but not tn wheat has been separated from tn, chaff, the same old bitter rivals 5he Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Loui Caldinals-are battling for tn coveted prize. That's been the stor in six of the last eight years.
 At the moment, the edge lie with the Cards. Back home Iron successful l2-game Eastern jaunt the Redbirds are in first place to- day, a half game in front of the slumping Dodgers.
 The rampant Redbirds, who tooh over first place from Brooklyn by knocking off the Dodgers three st1ight in the Brooks own back yard, begin a 19-game home stand today.
 In the meantime, the Dodgers will play IT games on the road beginning with a trio in Chicago.
 IN AMERICAN LEAGUE
 The American League race ie showing signs of becoming hum- dinger, too Cleveland has won it, last five games, including the zig one last night when they whipped the Yankees, Az, before 71,354 a. the Yankee Stadium. That cut the Bronx Bombers' lead to only three games, with the two teams clash ing again Wednesday and Thurs day.
 The Indians delivered one-twc punch last night. Not only did they defeat the Yankees, but thes turned the tables on Vic Raschi who had whipped them four straight times this year. The Yan- kee ace went the route for the l5th time, but was tagged for Il hits and went down to his fourth de- feat. He has won l5.
 Righthander Early Wynn regis tered his eighth victory against two setbacks, but needed help from Satchel Paige in the eighth.
 Tn the only National League game, the Dodgers, striving to save something from their disastrous series with the Redblrds, had u settle for a nine-inning tie as the Cards overcame a 3-1 deficit in the sixth.
 With two away in the sixth, Sta' Musial doubled, Enos Slaughter walked, and Ron Northey scored them both with a two-base hit Rocky Nelson's two-bagger brought in Northey to put the Cards ahead 4-3. The Dodgers tied the score ir their half of the sixth on pincf hitter Gene Hermanski's home run
 No other games were scheduled in the majors.

50L0NS KEEP ON WINNING,
 p. {. LEAGUE
lBv the Associated Pressl


 The surging Sacramento Solons keep right on surging.
 They trimmed Los Angeles 5 to 1 in the Pacific Coast Leagues only Monday night game. The win gained the Solons a half-game on Hollywood, the idle league-leaderS The Stars are five games in front. The win was the Solons 18th in their last 21 starts.
 Ken Holcombe's arm was the principal reason for the Angels downfall. The Solon hurler spaced five hits and allowed only one Angel past first base after the first in- ming.
 The Angels pulled a triple play that appeared and then disap- peared in a matter of seconds. Um- pires Gordon Ford and Pat Orr overruled Umpire Ira Gordon in nullifying the triple-killing
 The disallowed play started when Angel outfielder Clarence Maddern made a going-away catch of Jim Tabor's hard hit ball into deep Jeff. His throw trapped two Solon run ners who were going around the bases like mad. Gordon called them cut
 However, Ford and Orr ruled that Maddern trapped the ball off the wall and reinstated the runners Tabor was credited with a hit.
