JULY 29, 1942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY MAJOR LEAGUE RESULTS: Brooks, Cards Split Twin Bill; Giants Take Two From Cubs Doomed Ja p W ar ship T hrough Periscope By HALE CHAMPION From Associated Press Summaries The last chance for the St. Louis Cardinals to catch the Brooklyn Dodgers has passed. Not that many people thought they had any kind of a chance, but there are always diehards. Yesterday a hot St. Louis team came charging into Ebbets Field de- termined to sweep a three-game ser- ies and seriously challenge the Dodg- r lead. They took the nightcap of a doubleheader in order to save their faces, but that's about all. The Bums from Brooklyn are still seven games to the good. The Chicago Cubs have long had designs on the New York Giants' fourth-place position, but no sooner do they gird themselves for a hand- to - hand struggle than the Polo Rival AFL, CIO . Pickets In Pontiac Let Fists, Eggs Fly PONTIAC, Mich., July 28-(A)- Police Lieut. Charles Thayer said to- day that the first outbreak of violence in connection with picketing of Pon-{ tiac food stores had ocurred this afternoon in a fist fight between a CIO unionist and a rival AFL picket; in the downtown area. Thayer said fists flew in a scuffle when the CIO representative at- tempted to take away a banner from the picket. Police intervened but no arrests were made. Thayer declared further that pick- ets in other sections of the city had been the target of eggs hurled by un- identified marksmen. Another development of the day was the marching of junior pickets along with retail clerks (AFL) union-; ists who are.seeking recognition in dozens of independently owned stores. While Pontiac is a predominantly CIO union town, none would say where the youngsters, none much more than 12 years old, came from. He 'Just Pulled Him Out' BLOOMFIELD, Neb., July 28.--P) -Tommy Luke, five years old, proved himself a hero. He saved his small brother, Billy, three years old, from drowning in a livestock water tank, into which the little boy fell head first while reaching for a stick. Asked how he did it, Tommy said, "I just pulled him out." Grounds boys deliver some of their vaunted power and the Cubs sink back into the mire of the second division. It happened again yester- day as the Giants combined power, and pitching to take a twin bill, 9-5 and 3-0. Brooks, Cards Split St. Louis ......101 022 000-6 9 3 Brooklyn .....500 100 01x-7 8 3 White.

Major Lea ge Standings Varsity Whips Local 'Giants ' Nine cores 10-2 Victory Over Ann Arbor Stars Another victory was racked up by the Wolverine nine Monday night. this one at the expense of the State Street Giants. 10-2., The Giants possessed the big names, but it was Coach Ray Fisher's boys who did the run-producing in the most colorful game this season. After garnering one run in the first off the offerings of Bill Albertson, Kiski prepper who will enter school this fall, the Wolverines opened up in the third and scored five runs to put the game beyond the Stars' reach. The inning's big rally was highlighted by Harry Anderson's lusty triple with two on which cleaned the bases. Andy also dou- bled in the sixth to pace the Wolver- ine attack. Michigan tallied four unnecessary runs in the sixth, these runs being made off the former Maize and Blue hurler Cliff Wise. Wise did not possess his usual stuff. having been inactive most of the season. and the Wolverines hit his pitching with ease. The All-Stars collected only four hits off three Michigan pitchers. A hit and an error gave the Giants a run in the second and they com- bined two hits to push across their other run in the fifth. Don Smith, Jack Redinger and Bob Saxton all saw service for the Fisher nine. m !J', And What's It To You Sir? FORT DEVENS.

This unquestionably will make baseball history. Never before in the annals of America's favorite pastime have Negroes been given a chance to compete in Major League baseball. We can think of no greater thorn in the side of racial tolerance than this practice of baseball moguls of barring Negroes from baseball. We have heard time and again that baseball teaches the youth of our nation fair play and sportsmanlike habits. But to believe this is sheer folly. How can anything or anybody teach right from wrong that ignores the very basis for fair play ... the right of all to have an$ equal chance to compete. Stock Arguments Yes, we all remember the stock arguments that are used whenever this subject is brought up; they wouldn't be able to stay in the same hotels, the Southern baseball players would object, Negroes 'aren't smart enough to play big-time baseball and lastly, they don't really want to. Any broad-minded person can see that those arguments are merely rationalizations for the undemocratic principles of Major League officials. Negroes compete on college teams throughout the nation today and have little trouble finding the proper sleeping and eating accommodations. We all know from such colored stars as Sachel Page that some Negroes have all the ability necessary to play in the American or National League. Negroes want to play in the senior circuits but never ivoice this desire because of its apparent futility.. Southern Player Status This leaves only one objection un- answered-the one concerning the Southern players' intense hate for all Negroes. There can be only one solution to this problem. Either the Southern players (who are often too dumb to sign their own names) ac- cept the Negro'as a fellow player or the Southern whites should get off the team. We cannot let any minorie force their undemocratic ideals no matter in what field they exist. In times such as these it seems al- most hypocritical that some people will fight for something at home and fight against that very thing abroad. Mr. Benswanger reminded his fel- low baseball men that, "Negroes are American citizens with American rights." Such talk is one of the strongest weapons in assuring the rights of free peoples everywhere. Outcome Of Vital Interest, Before important Major League baseball games the band plays the "Star Spangled Banner" but what field above which the flag flies cer- tain groups are barred because of racial discrimination? The outcome of Mir. Benswanger's experiment will be of vital interest to un-Americans as well as Ameri- cans. Let us hope that baseball can teach us the cardinal principle of any democracy-"fair play for all." * * * Cracker Crumbs: Johnny Gillis and Norm Call, two ex-Michigan athletic stars, were sworn into the U.S. Coast Guard service yesterday.

Theatre CHICAGO, July 28--P)-Secretary of Agricllture Wickard today urged farmers to send a big share of their new herd of hogs to market earlier than usual this fall to avert a serious shortage of pork. He also informed them that, once the run of pigs becomes Ieavy, it must be kept at a steady flow to avoid swamping the slaughter houses. Wickard, who already had adjusted lease-lend pork prices to bring small processors back into normal operation to relieve a scarcity of meats in some areas, conferred with war board chairmen and extension service offic- ials from ten midwestern states on steps to ensure adequate livestock production for the nation and its allies in the months ahead. The Secretary reported that Amer- ican farmers were raising about 20,- 000,000 more hogs thah last year, an increase of almost 25 per cent, and that the number of cattle on farms and ranches was the largest on rec- ord.
