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.

Mr. Johnson is well trained in the

the younger ones, should take ad

know that in our district we have not
one junior player that is capable of
of stepping out into fast competition

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

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.
