HU5kIES LOSE TO G0pHER5, ALSO 1
 OF BEST PLAYERS

SEATTLE, Sept. 26 D. The University of Washington may have lost more than a game to Mime sota Saturday. The 48-20 defeat by a powerful Gopher squad may also have cost them the services of Hugh McElhenny, flashy hard-running fullback, for while.
 The star sophomore, who gave Washington a brief lead with 96- yard runback to score with the opening kickoff, hobbled on crutches when the squad arrived home yes terday. He sprained a foot severely on an end run late in the second quarter.
 pr. John Greehan, team physician, said it was unlikely that the sprain would be healed in time for McEl- henny to go against Notre Dame this Saturday.
 The Husky fullback's long run, third longest on record by Wash- ington player, stunned the Minne- apolis fans hut stung the Gophers into action. Eight minutes later the score was tied with Billy Bye cap ping a 60-yard march by crossing from the three.
 The Gophers crossed into pay dirt four times in the second period.

RED 50x TIED FOR TOP I
 AMER. LEAGUE
By RALPH RIDDEN

When Tom YaWkey, millionaire owner of the Boston Red .Sox said,
 Those darn palookas of mine are going to l. e the American League champs" everyone thought it was a good crack.
 Well those palookas are tied with the New York Yankees for first place in the American League today a position they expect to better by nightfall.
 Lefty Mel Parnell pitched the rampaging Red Sox into a flat footed tie yesterday as he downed the Tanks, Al, with a reat four hitter before bowling mob of 35,5l7 fans at Boston. The Red Sox take on the Tanks in the Stadium today with Lefty Maurice McDermott (5-4 sched- uled to go for the palookas against New York's Tommy Byrne Q5-D.
 A triumph for either party would just about settle the issue. Fol-
 lowing today's battle both teams will have five games left to play including two at the New York park next Saturday and Sunday
 In between meetings the Red Sox play three games with last place Washington and the Tanks three with the pesky fifth place Phila- delphia Athletics.
 NATIONAL LEAGUE
 While the Red Sox stiffened the Tanks yesterday the St. Louis Car dinals zoomed into a commanding one and one-half game lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers in the Ma tional League race. The Cards beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-1, while the Philadelphia Phils slit the Dodgers, 5-3.
 St. Louis and Brooklyn mark time today.
 Parnell's triumph was his 18th of , the season against seven defeats.
 It was also Boston's ninth straight
 and their 21st consecutive at home. Allie Reynolds pitched well for the Tanks but not good enough. The Sox reached Reynolds for two runs in the second when Johnny Pesky singled with two out and the bases loaded.
 l Reynolds hung on gamely until the seventh when Ted Williams ended the Yankee hopes with a
 4OO-foot homer, his 43rd, into the 1 rightfield stands.
 Ralph Branca started for Brook
 lyn and pitched seven brilliant in- nings. Branca allowed only five hits and famed nine but blister forced | him out of action.
 Jack Banta took over and the
 Phils quickly went to town. In the National League games the New York Giants downed the
 Boston Braves, 3-2 and 5-2 and the Pittsburgh Pirates clipped the Cin-
 cinnati Reds, 7-3, and 5-3. i Bob Lemon turned in his 21st vic tory for Cleveland with 7-l vic- tory over the Detroit Tigers. In | other American League games the Philadelphia Athletics beat Wash ington, 9-5, then bowed, 40, and
 the Chicago White Sox defeated
 the St. Louis Browns, 7-5, and then 1 lost. 6-2

cans.

from across the country. They arose
AS one man. They waived aside
in their country's hour of need the
years of discrimination and pre-
iudice as unimportant and irrele-
want.
Volunteered for Combat Service
Ten per cent of the Japanese-Am-
erican population in Hawaii volun-
teered for combat duty. If the same
proportion had volunteered in the
whole of the population of the ma
ton the selective service draft would
not have been required in so far as
securing manpower for the Armed
Service is concerned.
Although they and their fam
lilies on the West Coast had been
placed i'm relocation camps, they
volunteered from behind barbed
wire. In view of the circumstances
IL speaks highly of their patriot
ism that they were willing to vol
unteer at all. Many who did not
volunteer were subsequently draf-
ted and made every bit as fine .
record as those who first offered
their services.
And SO they came to fight their
country's battles because it was
their country.
The motive of patriotism was suf-
ficient in and of itself. but we find
another motive, another battle to

cans and Japanese aliens in this
country. The records show their
place in our civilization and it is
an honorable record indeed
Statistics Back Aliens
For instance, in 1910 less than
eight hundredths of one per cent of
the alien japanese labor forces in
this country were on emergency
relief work compared with almost
five per cent of the general popula-
tion. Less than three per cent were
unemployed, compared with almost
ten per cent Of the total population.
This is remarkable record.
In the matter of crime we have
similarity gratifying record. The
number Of arrests for 100000 popu-
lat1on on the average for the five
year period 1858 for all persons
of japanese descent was las as
against SIG for the general popula-
ton. The rate per 100000 for major
crimes is 88 for those of Japanese
descent compared with 20S for the
general population.
Those statistics speak well for
the upright moral character of these
people.
Such is the record. Such are the
Nisei soldiers and their families.
Such did they do during the war.
In such ways did they silently, with
out complaint, set about to prove
their Americanism. No other class
Of citizens has ever been called upon
in this country to wage such an up
hill fight to prove their loyalty. But
10 it, they did.
Proved Their Loyalty
What was accomplished by this
record? Did these men whose names
are here enshrined lose or win their
second battle, their battle against
discrimination and prejudice.

not, there was a basis for a good
deal of resentment on the part of
those who were moved into the in
terror. There it might be expected
that such resentment as there was
would produce some adverse Incl
dents. But that is not the record
The record clearly shows the true
Americanism and understanding of
those who were under suspicion and
many of whom were not citizens.
II has been abundantly estab-
Iished through the records of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Army and Navy Intelli-
gence that there was not a single
case of espionage or sabotage by a
resident alien or Japanese meri-
can before, during or since the
attack on Pearl Harbor. This is
true in Hawaii where Japanese
aliens were not placed behind
barbed wire and the mainland
where they were so concentrated.
Many even helped in vital war
services. They served as map draw
ers and makers, as Interpreters
and translatOrs, as documentar-
ians and even in counter-espion.-
age. Their iOyaltles Were with
the United States and they help
ed defeat the country to which
many of them owed their techni-
cal allegiance.
And then we have other factors
which nave come to light to show

have been talking about the
soldier on the fighting fronts. But
that is far from being the whole
story of the activities of Japanese
Americans and Japanese aliens dur
ing the war Those Of you on the
home front did your share and
more. You, too, had two battles to
win. the battle against the external
enemies, Germany and Japan, and
the battle against the internal enc
mics, intolerance and discrimination
And how did the home front wage
its battles? The record is very clear
With little publicity, and with no
glamour or glory the home front
in it's way did as spectacular a job
as did your sons.
Let lis see what that record is.
Remember that many, if not most,
of the fathers and mothers of these
soldiers were not citizens of the
United States, the law of the land
prevented them from becoming
citizens.
The RumOrs Were False
Many of them had lived in this
country during most, if not all, of
their lifetime. At the start of the
war those on the Pacific Coast were
moved inland away from their homes
and their means of livelihood There
were rumors afloat about spies and
sabotage, suspicion was every where.
That these rumors proved later to
be false didn't help the situation at
that time. Whether or not the re-
movals were justified is not for me
to decide. But whether justified or

The record of events since the
end Of the war clearly indicates
they did.
AS reported. by the Department
Of The Interior in its report People
in Motion:
Five years after evacuation,
the most obvious economic effect
of that order is a change from
dependence for livelihood on an
economy fundamentally within the
control of the Japanese cOmmu-
nifty to general dependence by
the REPRESENTATION people
everywhere upon employm ent
found in the general community.
with few exceptions, the able
bodied have secured well paying
employment, both In the East
and on the West coast. IN years,
public sentiment has changed
from one Of deep suspicion TO that
of favorable acceptance in most
sections of the country. without
question, by. the end Of 1916, more
Japanese Americans were employ
ed in work for which they had
been trained than ever had been
the case before the war, and those
working in positions requiring less
skill or training are as well off in
this period of full employment as
other Americans"
There have been cases of discri-
mination and it still exists. But the
first skjrmishes have been won-the
enemy is in full retreat. I think
we have turned the corner. The
American people in their collective
sense of justice have corrected. and
are correcting the early mistakes,
