CUDAHYS DEFEAT NORTH OMAHAS 18 TO 7 By EDWARD LANE SPORTS WRITER REX IN ORGANIZED BASEBALL * * * « Cudahy Rex, five times champions of the colored lea gue, have set a precedent for future Negro amatuer ball players to uphold. The Omaha Amatuer Baseball Baron finally opened the door to organized play and the Rex have eagerly accepted the challenge. This gives thorn the opportunity to show their worth. Much can be ex pected in the way of real baseball from our represent atives. From various sources it has been gathered that the Rex should go places and do things, but from the standpoint of close observation much can be said pro and con. On paper the Rex have one of the strongest ama tuer teams in the State. Five times champion in eight years of play in and out of the State. Put them in a class with the snappy City Clubs and thlm Carter Lakes. We also find the Rex the only team to defeat the Prison team two out of two last year, while the best the City Clubs, Carter Lakes and a host of other teams could was to lose every time they plijyed them. They boast a hard hitting aggregation with Fry, A A A A Manley, and Clements the big guns. Liggins, a newcomer in the first game has shown that he is going to be a dan gerous man. The infield shows exceptional defensive strength with Fry, first base; Hodges, second base; Smith, shortstop and Lee ,third base. Manley will be on the re ceiving end of the pitching staff. Charlie Crump is prob ably the outstanding pitcher, but as yet I fail to see where he is going to last more than seven innings a game, but with Walked in the relief role, he should be able to win some games. * * * * The outfield that combines speed and power leaves nothing to be desired. With Liggins, right field Cle ments, center field; and the flashy Wheeler left field With such a set up and an ezcellent mamager in McClutch-' en, it is no wonder much is expected. * * * * Nevertheless it must be remembered that Negro champions have yet to win a first City Series play-off, is obvious as a sore thub, it is that muscle ball has been the predominate feature of all Negro teams. As before men tioned with such a set-up the possibilities for a baseball achine capable of winning a championship can be assured by only one thing. There must be a stressing of funda mentals that combines drilling on defensive and offensive precision. Whether this will be done is a matter of con jecture. Future contests and plaiy will bring out the truth or false there is that statement. One thing is cer tain Cudahys play in the American League cannot be used as a measure of effectiveness due to the fact that they are playing under their standard and should be in a high-' er association. V T T T This fact is recognized by every sports writer and fan and the play of our representatives will be closely watched. With the big test, should win the title, coming again in the City Series.

Thomas Hurls No Hit Game FIDMAN ALL STARS SHUT OUT N OMAHA Max Fidman and his All-Star turned in a dazzling perfoifmaru^ in turning back the claay North Omaha aggre gation 10 toO in six innings, at 21st and Paul streets. Tuesday night. Scoring four runs in the first, two in the second and one in the third, the All-Stars behind steady pitching and great defensive work settled down to take their second no run victory of the season Marty Thomas, ace of the Stars J performed great, allowing no hits and ; no runs in six innings for his second shut out victory. Bolden and Stewart played beau tiful defensive ball showing precision and form in covering their respect ive territories and making sensation al stops. Bolden, Harvey, Stewart, Thomas and Fidman showed power at the bat and indulged in clever base running to comple ten runs in the six innings _ CENTER TENNIS CLASS SMALL j __ The Tennis Class of Mr- Charles Johnson, director at the Mid City Community Center, was very small when they met last Tuesday , in the auditorium. Only five or six being present. Mr. Johnson is well trained in the field of tennic anil the boys, especially the younger ones, should take ad vantage of this opportunity. You know that in our district we have not one junior player that is capable of of stepping out into fast competition and bring in some prizes. This opportunity that the Center is offering should not be missed. DOINGS AMONG THE AMATUERE By C- A. STEWART Well folks, I guess you thought there would be no baseball recreation j this season and things did look pretty i bad for a while, but however by a little effort and our wide acquaintance we were successful in one great thing, and that was, we quote Mr Robert Phipps, sport writer for the World Thusly, “And for the first time since the egg was laid, there will be a Negro team playing in the league.” A well earned privilege according to Mr. McClutcheji and his team of all teams, the Rex have been the most consistant, have had the best disci pline and always representative in appearance. Omaha fans will help keep this re cord- You know folks, all colored Nebraska s on trial- There should be no divided opinion, no arguments on the fields, no razizing of the um pires and no cat calls at the opposing teams- In fact will be the greatest display of sportsmanship shown by us as is also shown bydhose managers who elected to play with us- Now I am telling you, so keep a cool head Some quips— Wheeler scored the first run of the season, Crump the first strike out; Elliot the first triple, Liggins the first hit, Hodges and Lee the first double; Manley the first stolen base; Korney the first error; Lynch the fist fly ball. Manager Fiecthmeier- j of the North Omahas, had only nine t men out Sunday- He has the ability of makning real teams- He will come back, perhaps with five aces Pokie Liggins is hitting thekn hard and far. He got 5 out of 6 Sunday Champion, former pitcher from South Hiigh, deserves much credit, errors were against him but as all champs he neve gives up. Crump showed rare form. Too many curves may hurt so early in the leason, Charlie Elliot of North High took Crumps fast one to right for 3- Wheeler traveling fast between the cars saved a homer. Wilkinson took a liner in a dead run to pull the applause Say Earl, tell that boy how, when two are in a chase get somebody. Pokie made two errors in left- One gave Korney 3 bases Wheeler hit a homer that went for threee bases when he missed third. Two umps that know their curves and strikes are Daley and Garvin Spratt came out suited up Dr- Goodwin, former president of the Colored League, says its a fine move boys, and did he enjoy that game I’ll say all smiles So long, I will be seeing you soon OMAHA UNI WEIGHT STARS SCORE IN TRACK MEET Lincoln, Neb., April 21—Peru Tea cher’s college galloped away with the quadrangular track meet at Wesley an with ten firsts- They totaled 73 points to Omah’as, second 37 and Doane’s. third. 33 Omaha weight men did the best for Omaha, scoring nine points in the shot,five in the javelin and ten and one-half in the discus S’fmmarips: 100-vard dash—Won bv Cowell CPI; second.

Washington— (Cl'fS)—The Bank head cotton control bill in the form it first passed the House will prob ably become a law before May 1- The Senate amendments to safeguard in some measure the livelihood of tens of thousands of the “ittle fellows” mostly Negro tenant farmers have all been rejected by the conferees. The measure's aim is to limit the cotton marketed from the 1934 to 10,000,000 bales. Here are the principal provisions of the latest draft of the measurer The bill’s life is limited to one year, but if two-thirds of the cotton grow ers favor such action it may be ex tended another year by presidential proclamation. The tax on cotton in excess of the 10,000,000 bale allotment is 50 per cent of the value of the staple- The levy will be applied at the time the cotton is sold and not at the time it is ginned. The measure contains still penal provisions for violations- These were riddled in the Senate bill and re stored in conference. The Secretary of Agriculture will allot each State and county its quota. The allotment will be determined on the basis of the average number of bales produced during the past five years. The Senate had changed the allot ment period to 10 years- The House base was five The allotments to the individual farmers will be determined, officials said, by the county committees set up under the voluntary cotton reduc tion pi'ogram which was intended to limit planting this year to around 25,000,000 acres.
