BASEBALL—READ AND SEE WHAT YOU HEAR Were you there Charlies, and Johnnies and Cousin Hugos? “Where?1, you ask. At the first practice baseball game of theCopper Gals. Did they play ball or did they just play? Seven innings of run ning and trying to outhit the Metz team. Jessie going strong and Beulah not bad, that Mar vo pitcher doing her stuff with catcher, Wifighf hacking her up, but it wasn't good enough. Why? Because the Metz girls hit and our first base, Bell, and our 8rd base, Bose, and short stop, Equator, were the only ones who could hold a hull. W’hat happened to Cutie Gel* aldine, Mighty Mary and Baby Ruth—that's what we would like to know. Coach Hale says “practice1' so we must go now; hut the nex^ game the score will he in our favor with no errors. We don't want our names to be changed like Butterfingers Ruth, Slowmotion Geraldine or Won'trun Jessie. Cornhusker Golfers Plan ManyTouraaments A concentrated drive for an active summer campaign has been launched by the members of the Cornhusker Golf Club. Boyd v- Galloway, club presi den^ and veteran linksman, says that a series of city and inter club contests are planned as a means of keeping up continued interest and developing better players for competition in the intercity tournaments. In addi tion to the Omaha series of eon ; tes.s, four sectional games have already been scheduled with clubs at Kansas City, St.Louis, Des Moines and Minneapolis. All of the many tournaments, ranging from nine to 72 holes will be made especially attrae tive by 1 he awards of trophies and medals. The city schedule is being drawn up by the Rules Commit.ee composed of Billy Davis, Sabert Hanger, and Ben ny Murray. It is being so ur ranged that the “not so good“ player will have an equal op portunity to win his share of awards. According to the president, special effort will he made to cultivate a better understand ing of the game among the mem bers of the ladies' auxilary which is opened to membership of all ladies interested in the game. A mixed tournament is planned for May. All golfplayers who desire to join the Cornhuskers are urged to be present at the next meet ing which will be held at the Urban League Center on April 30th. At this time all seasonal committees will be selected and a general outline of the 1937 activities will be given.

Metz—Rabes' Hottentots Before a large crowd Sunday, April 18th, ihe Hottentots af ter one day's practice, were de featod by the Metz Girls (white) at Falsiaff Park by a score of 12 to 6. Due to the poor base running of the Metz Girls, the Hottentots were able to keep the score so low. Ten errors and some hard early season hitting allowed the Metz Girls to score in each inning except the 2nd. The Hottentots are working out each evening at Lake school with the hope of redeeming themselves this week when they meet Malashock Girls Thurs day and Metz Sunday at 2:30 p. m. at 30th and Wirt Sts. E. Wiliams, captain, lias been shifted to second and Wrighi will play shortstop, A. Lyles. 1st b; and R. Gennison 3rd b. All the girls are great players and by hard work are fast ting into mid season form. Gev aldine Washington has signed with the Hottentots and will add much strength, to the pitch ing staff, in place of J. Brown, who resigned. Miss Washington will easily win the hearts of soft ball fans by her slugging, which so far liap been hard. The catching staff and outfield are a little slow to round into form, but with a little warm weather, watch those Hotten ots go. On Thursday, April 29th, a game will be played at 20th and Lake Sts., between So. Omaha and No. Omaha. A. Lyles will captain the So. Omaha team. A banquet will be given the win ners by Metz Brewery and Carl Rabes, proprietor of the Rabes* Buffet.

The schools serving Negroes arc almost wholly neglected. Practically all funds spent dur ing this school term by the Board of Education for improve ments, have been spent in the north and west sections of the city. It is time for some definite action to he taken on the part of the East Side taxpayers. Kespeet fully, (Signed) Wm. II. Clusterson, 2037 N. 21st St. THE LIQUOR STORE 24th and Cuming Sts.
