tRy the Associated pressl

The Pacific Coast Leagues an- nual summer lynching party is on in deadly earnest today, and the guest of honor has arrived little early this year
 That would be the San Diego Padres who. by custom, stick their necks in the moose along about July every season and wind up the cam paign dangling in the second divi- sion.
 During the last two weeks, the Padres have lost everything but the deed to the ballpark. And if the present state of affairs continues the Oakland Acorns may foreclose the mortgage before the week is out
 San Diego lost it's seventh straight game last night, lowing again to second place Oakland by count of 4 to 3. In so doing, the Padres slipped into fourth place, one per- centage point below Portland.
 Hollywood, meanwhile. main- tained it's four game advantage by shading lowly Sacramento, to l, behind the neat four hit chucking of Ben Wade.
 A four run eighth inning gave the Portland Beavers to con- quest of San Francisco Harry Feld- man yielded five singles during that fat eighth.
 At Los Angeles, the Angels bela- bored the Seattle Rainiers, 12 to 3, as Bob Muncrief scattered seven hits and struck out 13 men with his sweeping curves.

Political Leader
Buried I'm Missouri

LEADERS BURIED IN Ne
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (ANP) DR..
J. R. A. Grassland, 80, one of the
nations pioneer and great Negro
politicians and for more than so
years a practicing physician, was
buried here last week.
A tall, erect, imposing, and do
minating figure during his life
time, DR.. Grassland lived a dyna-
mic life as a leader in politics,
medicine, and f%raternal orders,
and in both Negro and white af-
fairs.
At the beginning of the Goth
century during the heyday of
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and
William Howard Taft, DR.. Cross
land was one of the nations lead
ing Republicans.
He served twice as delegate-at-
large and twice as alternate dele
gate-at large to Republican nation
al conventions during that era. He
also served as U. S. minister and
consul general to Liberia during
that period.

will not be so lucky the night Of
Feb. ID when he meets Ray
(Sugar) Robinson.
Pep, still a clever and great
boxer, just does not have enough
on the ball to halt the relentless
pursuit of a Sandy Saddler. The
dislocated shoulder loss of his title
may make him a martys to some
fans, but those who seem to know
feel that time and Saddler would
catch the elusive Willie before the
Is rounds e up.
1t seems that impotence is the
,one weakness Of Saddler, especial
ly when he meets a fellow like
Pop. He just can't wait to get
next to him. Too often when he
swings he finds hat Pop is the
little man who isn't there.
When they meet again in Feb
ruary, Saddler should not become
too wild, and he probably will
kayo the Connecticut flash. Then
he should go on to take the light
weight title from a slower and
less efficient Ike Williams. After
stopping Pop, he will have nc more
challengers in the featherweight
division.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-09-27

At his death he was a 33rd de-
gree Mason holding high office in
the grand lodge; and he also held
office in the odd Fellows and
Knights of Pyt las.
With the African Methodist
Episcopal, he also was o power.
He was elected three times a dele
gate to the quadrennial conference
of the church, and served rs years
as a trustee of Western university
at Quindaro, Kas.
In the field Of medicine, DR..
Grassland also achieved. He served
twice as assistant city physician in
st. Joseph. He came to ST. Joseph
60 years ago, and has practiced
medicine most of this time.
He holds degrees from Shaw
university, Walden university, and
Meharry Medical college. He serv-
ed as president Of the Pan-Mis-
souri, Medical Association of Ne
gro Surgeons and Pharmacists.
His career is spotted with num-
erous unusual stories. For exam
pie, early in the 192O's he present
ed a memorial to President War

ed to by leading bankers and

after erecting a new nurses home.
Depression Hits
Hospital Hard
The depression hit both hospi-
tails hard, and finally leaders got
together to talk merger. In 1948
they became the present Marcy
Douglass HOSPITAL, the first inter-
racial voluntary hospital in Penn
sylvania and the second in the
nation. Sydenham in New York
was first.
Since the merger, debts have
been reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000. Credit had been cut off,
but the hospital has paid current
bills as they arise.
The new hospital will contain
ESQ beds. Here, Negro physicians
will have a chance to advance,
achieve and work.
In explaining why this new in
stitution is needed, DR.. Minton
said in Pennsylvania of 1856 in
ternes only three are Negroes, and
of 592 RESIDENCES, only eight are
colored.
He said this will be a great adj
vance from the days SO years ago
when DR.. M~ossell, first Negro to
be graduated from the University
Of Pennsylvania, founded the
Douglass hospital.
At that time, he and % other
young Negro physicians founded
the hospital because they were re-
fused opportunities at the estab-
lished hospitals.
