Double Win Of
Sunday q Games
(By Associated Press

The Pacific Coast League seldom
does things by halves.
There was nary split yesterday
as Oakland, San Diego. San Fran
cisco and Seattle swept double head
erS.
League-leading Oakland retained
its 5h game margin over San Diego,
thanks largely to Bobby Huffman,
who ciouted homer in each game,
the second breaking 3-3 tie to give
the Acorns 4-3 nightcap decision
over Los Angeles. The Oaks took the
opener, 8-4, as George Metkovich
and Frank Baumholtz also homered.
Maumholtz, the high-flying An
gel bidding for a 400 batting mark,
got six hits in seven trips.
San Diego got a three-hit 20
shutout from George zuverink in
the en-inning affair, then wallop-
ed Sacramento, 81, over the regula-
ton route behind Hal Saltzman's
five-hitter.
San Francisco two-timed Holly
wood, "a, and 20. on slick south
paving by Ted Savarese and Al
Lien. The former, rookie who looks
something like old Tony Freitas, ex-
Sacramento ace, took his second
straight since coming up from Ia
coma.
Hector Brown and Jim Davis were
Seattle's winners against Portland
Ga, and 90. Davis posted five
hit whitewash over the short route
The Beavers Luiz Marquee got
orders to report to his draft board
in Puerto Rico. The 24-year-old ace
of the Portland outfield will leave
today and may be lost to the club
for a week or more.
Series winners were Oakland, Sc
attic, San Diego and Hollywood.

BIG DELTA BISON

er applied Tor a special permit 10
hunt elk on Afognak Island under
the limited provisions of the AL
aska game laws. and he will not be
able to do so unless ten men from
Kodiak and Anchorage change their
minds.
Lou A. Hudson of Juneau is that
one hunter-the only one from
these parts of the 70 applicants
to the Alaska Game Commission. AS
the 1850 game laws specify that only
so hunters will be licensed for the
Afognak season, applicants names
were drawn from a hat this morn
ing, to determine impartially which
licenses would be issued. Hudson
is the tenth alternate. All other APP
plicants are residents to the west
ward. Names of 20 alternates were
drawn.
The name of A. j. Cichoski was
the first drawn. Tiny" who is q
good foot tall, is q well-known
:
Kodiak hunter.
Object of the special hunt is to
| remove SO useless bulls from the
herd which was estimated at 212
animals in the 1948 count. Afognak
was stocked with eight elk in 1929.
The drawing to decide which Is
hunters will be licensed to shoot
bison in the Big Delta area left the
season strictly in the hands OF
sportsmen from Kodiak, Anchorage
and other places to the westward
Even the seven Cordova applicants
and one Valdez hunter were left
out. No Southeast Alaska hunters
were among the 295 men and women
who applied.
The name of Constant H. Morse
! Fairbanks, was the first drawn.
Between october l and 15-the
same season as that for elk on AT

will be permitted in the Big Delta
buffalo refuge, as provided in Sec
, ton 1852 of the game laws.
| This hunt will be to remove 2s
F., surplus, old, nom breeding bulls
Hunters will be acompancied by
Game Commission agents, who will
designate the animals.
The special hunt is one of two
measures to reduce the herd at Big
Delta, where the winter range has
been seriously overgrazed and bisor
are interfering with Army opera
lions. The other program is to trans
plant some young stock to the Up
per Copper River as nucleus of
new herd. In 1923, the district wa:
stocked with % bison. The 194f
count showed 1926 animals.

COMMITTEE to
Discuss Town Bias

NEW YORK CAMP Mayor
announced here last week that a
committee would be appointed to
meet with officials of the Metro
politan Life Insurance company
to talk over the matter of elimin-
ating racial discrimination at the
company's 8,759-unit Stuyvesant
Town housing project.
This announcement acted as a
stopgap to the city council't bill
Of force acceptance Of Negroes in
the project. The bill, recommend
ed by the welfare committee, was
sponsored by Stanley M. Issaacs
and Earl Brown, Republican-Lib-
erial, and Democrat respectively
of Manhattan.
It would have made a misdemean-
or the discrimination of prospect
i've tenants because Of race, color,
religion, national origin or an
cestry." In addition, it would have
applied retroactively to housing
projects which the city had assist
ed in any way. Violators would be
punishable by $500 fines.
Said the bill sponsors, "This
shows that the Metropolitan Life
is going to yield to public opin-
ion. We have confidence that this
blot onthe city will be finally and
permanently obliterated."

"Have Mercy On
Our Children"
The writer was one of a COM
mittee to appear before Gov. Bat
tie of Virginia to make what is
perhaps the final plea that the
sentence Of death by %electrocu-
ton for the Martinsville boys he
comuted to life imprisonment.
It was a weighty occasion and
the whole atmosphere was sur
charged with an intense serious
ness. The Governors office being
too small for the committee, he
repaired with them to the senate
chambers where plea after plea
RtfNffy
was made by able and ~conscienti-
u men and women for a COM
mutation Of the sentence of
death, a sentence which even the
Supreme Court of the United
State refused to countermand.
The first speaker was a white
Presbyterian minister who, by the
way, was born in South Carolina;
a white priest of the Catholic
church also spoke as did two white
women. Of course, it was expect
ed that Negroes would speak and
they did with q point and power
that apparently made a deep i'm
preston on Gov. Battle. The
whole hearing was conducted by
Attorney Martin A. Martin with a
proficiency that evoked from the
governor the remark, 81 have
never had to appear before me a
committee that was more restrain
ed and dignified".
There were Negroes on the
committee who felt keenly that
the Martinsville boys had not had
a fair trial; but was this a time
to argue or a time for serious
pleading? Little by little the
speakers revealed their skepticism
of the kind Of justice meter out
in the MartinsviHe trial but each
speaker wound up or a note,
pleading for mercy. The most dra-.
matte moment Of a dramatic oc-
casion came when a mother Of
n of the boys was asked to
make her plea.
It was difficult to understand
how a woman Of such evident
good breeding and Of such nat
ural good breeding and Of such
natural beauty could be the
mother of a boy condemned to
death for rape. She arose with a
calm dignity but with evident re-
strained emotions and began slow
ly. She told the governor that she
had tired to bring her boy up right
but he went astray as boys some
times do.
She made it clear that there are
some parents who do not want to

punish them. Out, said she," I
feel that the boys ought to be
punished for the foul deed, but
electrocution is rather severe and
l am therefore pleading with you,
Mr.. Governor, to have mercy on
our Children. AS she sat down
there was a ripple of emotion that
swept that ancient hall and strong
men were seen to reach for their
handkerchief; and in the throat Of
this writer there was a subtlechok-
ing feeling to witness the dram
attic effect ofthe plea of a mother
for her child's life-for the life Of
all the boys.
The pity of it was there were
so few to hear the plea of this
anguished mother in one of the
most critical hours and moments
of her life. The life of her son and
the lives of six others are hang
ing in the balance and only the
mercy Of Virginia's governor can
save them from death in the elect
ric chair.
We can cry all we want about
these "times are different" and
that this is ga new day" in which
children are given free rein to run
the gauntlet Of the follies Of
youth without serious attempts to
restrain them. But it is more than
passing strange that in the midst
of all the follies Of flaming youth
there are children that are being
brough up in the old fashioned
way.
Children can be taught the more
excellent way of life, if the par
ents had the courage to do SO. In
other words, children do not have
to "run Wild; for there are many
who do not, and this bellies the Oft
repeated statement that nothing
in particular can be done to re-
strain flaming youth. Progressive
education or no progressive educa-
ton, children ought to be made to
conform to the practices Of good
manners and comedy behavior.
AS the late D. J. jenkins great
Orphanage Man Of Charleston Of
two decades ago used to have one
Of his boys recite; "You first ap-
peal to a boys conscience, and if
this does not work, you appeal to
his pride, and failing this, you ap-
peal to his hide" An intensive
and vigorous appeal to many a
child's h id e would spare many a
mother the agony that is crushing
the spirits and lives of the mothers
of the Martinsville boys. "Have
mercy on our children.
