pARNELL IS IiURlING RED
 50x TO WINS
Philadelphia Athletics in Two Wins Over CIeve-
 land on Sunday
By JOE REICHLER

Marse Joe Mccarthy and his pennant hopeful Boston Red Sox can thank their lucky stars for pitcher Mel Parnell.
 Red Sox fans hate to think where their favorites would be to- day were it not for the stylish left handler from New Orleans. It's a oinch Boston would be much worse off than its current l4-l4 sixth place rating.
 While the rest of the pitching staff has keen laundering around, Parnell has been well nigh sensa- tional. The 26-year-old sophomore has made seven starts, and won all but one
 One of his triumphs came yes terday when the blond six-footer had to wait until the 12th before he was able to eke out 3-2 de- cision over Virgil Trucks and the Detroit Tigers. To make it perfect day for the favorite son of the Louisiana Parnells, Mel drove in two runs including the game-win- ring tally with 18th inning single.

HOLLYWOOD
 kEEp50N TOP
 INp(LEAGUE
By JIM HUBBART

How will the Hollywood Stars hold up when the heat goes on?
 That question is being banded about the Pacific Coast league as San Diego's resurgent Padres open their drive on first place. The amazing Hollywooders, of course. have other ideas. They bobbed to the top early in the campaign and for the time being. anyway, they don't plan to vacate.
 The Padres played to the largest Sunday crowd in Coast League his tory-23,366 paid--as they split their double header with San Fran cisco at Seals Stadium. San Fran cisco took the opener, II to and San Diego won the second game, 10 to 2 for 4 to ? edge in the series.
 TANNERS, STARS SPLIT
 At Seattle, meanwhile, Hollywood took two extra innings to trim the Rainiers, to 2, in the second game of their twin till. Seattle copped the regulation opener, 6 to 5, but lost the series, to 3.
 The second game went into over- time when Frank Colman and Al Lyons hit successive homers for Seattle in the seventh to knot the count at 2-all. These and an earlier single were the only hits the Rain- iers were able to get off Willie Ramsdell.
 TWO WINS FOR BEAVERS
 The oft-pummeled Portla n q Beavers rose from the mat long enough to register a surprise double header victory over Oakland, to 2 and 4 to 1. Portland took the series, three games to two.
 The venerable Ad Liska and southpaw Roy Helser combined their pitching talents to give the Beavers the second game. Port land collected only six hits off two Oakland hurlers in the opener, but all were for extra bases. Vince Shupe got three of the five doubles and Eddie Basinski poled his third homer of the season.
 Los Angeles and Sacramento split their twin bill by identical scores of 4 to 3. The Solons annexed the short series, 3 to g.
 Young Bob Kelly twirled three hitter for the Angels in the night cap.

Hartford Has First Cuardsman

over with and nothing more has been heard about the subject. If the two parties were really anxious it would be less than simple to find quite a number of local Ne groes who have the character, .edu- cational background, experience, and intestinal fortitude to serve on any school board. A few are Mrs. Viola Coin, Dr. Marshall, Edward Coin, Mrs. Sarah Lee Fleming, Dr. Fred Smith.
 All of us burn gas, use electric ity, but have you ever seen a Negro employed in either utility CO.,, other than in the capacity of a menial? The New Haven Water Go. has in it's employ one Negro who is listed as clerk, and the reason he is there is owing to his father who worked there for years, thereby creating an "entire." The Southern New England Telephone Go. has several of our group in their employ.
 The over all picture is not a good one for our group in New Haven. It must be obvious to many of us that in many instances we here are retrogressing instead of progressing. Perhaps a few have reached pinnacles that no one dared hope for, but, the masses, truth fully now, what about them?
 This newly formed council has tremendous job ahead of it. The community certainly should help this organization fight for us, and those who are to follow us.

New Haven Scribe Reviews Needs Of .City's Negroes
By A. B. JACKSON

NEW HAVEN-Fridav evening, final plans will be made for the forming of a new council to handle discrimination, housing, and the various other complaints that be- set New Haven Negroes. The meet ing will be held at the Dixwell Community House. Representatives from forty organizations and clubs have been invited to attend.
 The writer finds it difficult to remember when there was quite so much talk about discrimination. In past years New Haven Negroes could be found in most any section of greater New Haven, excluding the ultra. ultra, sections of town.
 Negro families who owned homes or rented in these various sections lived with peace and harmony with their neighbors, and without any vigorous objections. In recent years the attitude has changed. No long CT is it possible to buy a home where you want to. Too often real tors inform us that no Negroes will be accepted. This feeling has become decide1y pronounced in re- cent years, so much so that it makes one wonder if the term de- mocracy is nothing more than a mere, i'll used word.
 Now, lets take look at our government projects, Elm Haven for instance. Who can deny that segregation is practiced there.
 Consider the school set up in New Haven. Many rumors have been circulated about a certain member of the local board of edu- cation. Allegedly he appoints as few Negroes and Jews as possible because of his intense distaste for both groups.
 Said They Wanted Negro
 Speaking of the school board re- minds us that previous to the last city election the politicians sup posedly were so terribly anxious to find a qualified Negro for the school board. The election is long

Prefers Dummy To His Spouse

BOSTON-Maybe she just talks too much.
 Anyway, twenty five year old James Johnson, of this city, South End would rather be married to a pet dummy than his wife.
 The decision cost him a sus- pended two-month sentence, but Johnson was stuck with his dummy and stuck by his decision.
 It all happened in this fashion.
 Johnson's wife, who feels it's worth something to be married to a man, appeared in Municipal Court and asked Judge Joseph Riley if he didn't think her husband ought to contribute to her support.
 Perhaps to dramatize his pre- ference for a companion who can not speak, Johnson, ventriloquist by trade, appeared in court with his dummy under his arm.
 Judge, do I have to live with herr" he asked, as a sort of com pliment to his wife.
 The judge came back with:
 "You married her. I didn't"
 As an afterthought, he declared judicially:
 "Mavbe you should have married the dummy. am making an order You must choose between your wife and the dummy"
 Without a moments consldera- tion, Johnson selected the dummy and the Judge imposed two month sentence which he promptly suspended.

Walter Little First To Join Guard

Wednesday May 11th, Walter l.. Little of 48 Bellevue Square, be- came the first Negro to be sworn in as a member, of the Hartford unit of the Connecticut National Guard. The occasion took place in the Division Headquarters at Brainard Field. ..
 As far as can be ascertained at the time of going to press, recruit Little will be assigned to the D1- vision Headquarters as a clerk. The oath was administered by Lt. Col: Bennett D. Farnham and witnessed by Capt. George G. Tillery.
 Veteran Of Pacific
 Mr Little is a veteran of a long period of war service in the Pa cific theatre, starting from Aus tralia, through bases Tn Ne" !e Guinea to a station in the Pnlla- ppines at the time of the cessa- ton of hostilities. Before being dls- charged, he was assigned to a unlC attached to the 9th Air Force Ill the Yokohoma area, Japan. Since he has been home he has been aI- filiated with the Reserves.
 The new recruit showed that he annreciated the value of National Guard membership on a practical and patriotic basis without >regard to color. He likes things military. He appreciates being paid to do the kind of things he enjoys; HIS ell, tire attitude was entirely devolu of race-consciousness. He talked as if the decision to join the un1t nag been made simply on the basis or advantages offered. He anticipates no more racial difficulties than are encountered in ordinary daily as- sociatiOns.
