For the past 5 days, the crowd
at the race track have beer, in
creasing right along. The horses
have been doing right well by
nome haw been buying hay. You
know the horses must eat. I notic
ed quite a number of the ladies
attending regularly. Some are out
of town visitors. I had the plea
sure of meeting Mrs. Ernestine
Postles formerly of Omaha, now a
resident of Detroit, Mich. Mrs.
Postles is 'the charming daugh
ter of Mrs. and Mrs. Clarence Sirv
gleton, local dentists, here on a
visit and to attend the wedding of
Mr. James I*ee and Miss Mabel
King. Mrs. Melba Stewart, Mrs.
Carrie Harrison, Mrs. Asalee Dix
on were also out to the races hav
ing a wonderful time picking the
winners. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
Murray, Mr. Willie Shelton seem
ed to be doing n/cely. I noticed
them in the line where they pay
off. The Decoration Day crowd
brought out 1400 patron". I noticed
quite a number of devotees to the
sport of kings. Mr. and Mrs.
Georgo Blair, Mrs. Grace Stanley,
Mrs. Eva Lawson, and Mrs. Mbry
King. The day was just lovely only ,
the sun worked overtime and made
it awfully warm. But when your
horse ran out on you, you got
about 40 degrees hotter.
Well fans, there are good horses
going to the post in a few days
and they are going to win, be
cause they came here ready and
fit for instance, Down Under, is
ready. He only needs placing. So
watch out. Also Jack Greenock, his
next out and Laroged fans. These
3 horses are r*eaily for the word.
Don’t be caught asleep when they
come in. bast week I had the good
horse Oakhan for you to wabch.
He won before the paper came
out, So keep your eye on the 3
mentioned above. You got some
good jockeys riding for your 2
bucks That boy H. Kees is very
good. He rode 38 horses in 1939.
7 wins, 3 seconds, 1 show, 27 un
placed. Percent 18. That rating is
a« good as any eastern jockey. L.
Whiting rating is 97 mounts, 20
winners, 16 seconds, 13 'thirds, un
placed 61 times Percent, 21. The
highest rated jockey at the Aksar
ben track so fans you watch these
two lads do their stuff.
I notice that passes do the race
track don’t seem to be so plenti
ful arming the colored people this
year. I am trying to get about 100
passes for the Omaha Guido read
ers. I will let you know next week

UNITED CASH COAL WINS
■ AGAIN
by RICHARD STANLEY
Before a largo crowd of about
3000 fans at 16th and Boyd Sts.,
the United Cash Coal and the Har
mony Bar Baseball teams put on
a wizard exhibition, although the
Colored boys won there were nu
merous misplays on both sides.
Both teams were handicapped in
the outfield by mud and water—
balls that were hiv in the outfield
could have been ea*y outs but
there was mud and water to
prevent both sides fiom catching
Uall8 that —went foi hits, other
wise could have been taken. The
game started off like the Colored
boys were going to be a lazy vic
tor—they made 4 runs in the first
inning—Lawson up in the first,
singled to right then Young work
ed the pitcher for a walk, then the
ever dependable Manley strikes
out. Then comes Tanley who
doubled to center—Law so a scored
Young goes to third then Scott
singled scored Young and Tapley.
Then comes Grady Frye who scor
ed Scott on an infield out, Scott
stole second, went to 3rd on a
pass ball—Hall up, out to pitcher
at first—net results 4 runs on 3

walks the first 3 men to face him.
He made the 4th man fly out to
Bill Young and the 5th fly out to
Hall in short.
The basses still loaded with two
outs then old pitchers lost his con
trol again and walked in the white
boys. First Tally then this Hall
made a brilliant stop to peg his
man out at second to retire the
side. I am telling you fans that
was a hetic ball game Why in
the Hirst of the ninth the white
boys knocked the ball all over the
lot to run in 6 runs, then Mr. Wal
ker was relieved of his pitching
duties in the ninth with one on and
two out. The whole team went
into conference on the pitcher’s
mound. They decided to trust
Mr .Don Morton to bring them out
of their woes. The first man he
pitches to he walks. Oh! oh,
cried Soup Lawson. Woe is me.
The next batter Mr. Morton don’t
like his looks. He hauls off and
hit him with the ball. That put
2 men on and two out. The third
man up flies to Tapley to end the
ball game. What a relief to the
Dyed in the wool fans wjio journ
iod out to see the boys play the
Gold trophy goes to Louis Grant
the best rooter the Colored boys
ever had. Why he walked one
mile twice for a bucket of water
to cool the boys’ tonsils and kick
ed up 1 ton of dirt. Aitta boy,
Louie, keep it up. The rooting
they need and lots f more fans
like you. The game ended 15 for
the Colored boys—14 for the white
boys. That makes 2 wins and one
loss.
P. S.—Clannie Leo got 3 hits—
what was wrong Clannie—Grain

DRISCOLL IS BOYS TOWN
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

country and throughout the
work!? Air conditioning, sound
deadening, modern lighting! Take
them and rebuild the world,” chal
lenged Mr. Driscoll.
Continued Mr. Driscoll, “As for
exploration, only abouj. one third
of the earth’s surface has ever
been seen by man. A start has
been made on the polar regions,
but the vast area under the ocean,
constituting two and one half tim
es as much land surface as all the
dry land in the world, has hardly
been glimpsed by man. And, I as
sure you, out of every slight ex
perience at the bo tom of the sea,
that there is no more romatic or
exoiting job ahead of the human
raco than this conquest of this
great new unexplored frontier.
Elixirs and medicines to cure the
bodily ills of men, truths yet un
guessed by science are there.
“We stand upon the brink of
great discoveries. New machines
are coming, and we are told that
they will make us free, the new
forms of government are in birth
and that they will make us free,
that laws are about to be 'assed,
and that they will make us free
and happy.
"Please do not be deluded, c/my
the truth will make us free and
the problems of the world will
never be solved by passing laws.
I hope you will free yourself now
from the dreadful superstition of
the law passers. The good laws
come out of good living, and not
good living out of laws
We cannot be saved from wars,
depressions, or calamities by
treaties set down on paper and
fiigned by scheming diplomats.
Fast airplanes we have, but where
are we going in them? The mag
ic of radio we have, but what have
we to say to the listening multi
tudes? A better world waits not
upon laws, nor yet upon inventions
What then? If you must have it
in short and simple language, it
waits upon that, ancient sacrifice,
a broken and contrite heart.
“We could afford a moratorium
upon material program and law
passing for a generation, if in
place of those activities we could
have a generation devoted to ed
ucating 'the human race in the
recognition of those values that
have been set forth for you boys
by your teachers here in Boys
Town."
Mr. Driscoll recalled a state
ment made by one of his college
teachers, “whatever you think
most about, that you will put into
your life, that you will become.”
He cited the story of two 28
year old New Yorker* to pror*
the truth of his teacher’* remark.
The boys were classmates at (the
University of Florida. One was
Douglas Leigh, who had to quit
school before (he had completed
his college course. Let Mr Dris
coll tell the story.
“Leigh found a job with an out
door advertising company, and
learned about electric signs. On
commencement day, this young
man returned to the campus, wit
nessed the triumph of his friend,
and offered his congratulations, i
And as he shook his friend’s
hand he said to him, “Sam, you
have great talent as an actor. I
am just a sign painter, but some
day I am going to put up your
name in lights on Broadway. Sam
was sure his friend would succeed.
Last fall Sam Byrd produced a
play on Broadway His friend
provided the neon lights to an
nounce his play.” Whatever you
think most about, that you will put
into your life, that you will be
come, added Mr. Driscoll.
A part of the commencement
exercises, including Mr. Driscoll's
address, was broadcasted by the
Mutual networks from coast to
coast, ithe program originating
from KOIL, Omaha.
The Reverend Joseph H. Ost
diek, Superintendent of Schools of
the Omaha Diocese, gave the In
vocation, and the Reverend Charl
es Durden, of the First Baptist
Church of Omaha, offered the
Benediction. The Boys Town
Choir and band played. Richard
Alvey, class president gave the
Salutory speech, while Thomas
Smith, the class’ outstanding schol
ar, delivered the Valedictory ad
dress. Father E J. Flanagan,
founder and director of Boystown

JAGGED LOVE
By Herman J. D. Carter
CHAPTER I
The eonduclo? Stepped upon the;
train coach’s step and yelled:
“Board!” Then he waved his
forward signal to the engineer,
who pulled the throttle. There was
a steaming sound, and the train
moved slowly forward.
“Good bye!” cried a rudy faced
girl, apparently sixteen as she
waved good bye to another girl,
who leaned against the inside coach
window. They waved at each other
until the train passed under the
bridge and soon the station at Roa
noke was in the distance.
“She must love you very much.
I saw she was crying.”
The girl turned sharply to meet
#ie smiling gaze of Carl Smifli who
reclined in the seat behind her.
“Yes, my kid sister. She’s cry
ing because I’m going away. First
time we have ever been separated.
“May I help you put up your
bags?” he asked rising to go to
her seat.
“Oh thank you.”
"Don’t thank me. I should offer
thanks to you.”
The girl blushed cutely and mov
ed into the isle.
"(iomg very iar r ne asuea.
“Yes, qui s c distr.uc f’.ie re
plied protectively, yet politely.
Carl snapped for words to con
tinue. He felt a peculiar feeling
shroud him. She seemed kind; but
hot too eager to meet strangers.
“Thank you again,” she said with
a smile and took her seat and open
ed a magazine and began reading
as Carl returned to his seat.
“I've got to meet her!” he mused
to himself; “but ...”
He didn’t finish. An idea struck
him, and he left his seat and walked
to the water cooler at the front
end of the coach. He glanced at her
as she showed an apparent interest
in the passing scenery. To further
attract her attention, he opened the
vestibule door and stepped outside.
The loud popping of the rails surely
would attract her attention, h e
thought, but still she didn’t mind
his act.
,l “Hard number,” he whispered to
himself as he stood on the steel
platform of the outer vestibule.
Soon he returned, and stopped at
the water cooler and took another
drink. He gazed at her long and
lustfully while drinking from the
paper cup. His strong gaze should
have instinctively drawn he r
glance; but she held on. Something
seemed to move about within him
aa he puzzled his brain for another
method to seek her acquaintence.
And not brand himself as a meddler.
He walked back to his seat. His
Ignored him.
“Restlessness sometimes breeds
curiosity,” he thought, and racily
arose and strode to the water cool
er and forced down five small cups
of water. Then after his final
cough failed to get her attention,
he filled a fresh cup with the cool
liquid and walked to her seat, de
termined to win or fail. He stood
igainst the arm of Tier seat, arf#
starred down at her. She fidigeted
a bit and finally her curiosity be
came a tormentor and she faced
him, wearing an expression of mys
tification.
“Won’t you have a drink Miss?"
he asked. “I know you must be
tired after lugging such a heavy
suitcase as that one,” he said nod
ding towards her luggage.
“No thank you. I’m not thirsty,”
she answered with an air of indif
ference.
His courage arose, and the sonl
burning desire to form her ac
quaintence increased.
“I don’t think its fair for a girl
to accept difficult courtesies from
strangers, and not take the littlo
courtesies from the same strang
ers,” he added, raising his eye
brows wittingly.
She turned with a subdued smile
trying to hide her bored or sur
passed feeling, and reached for
the water and drank it thirstily.
She finished and smiled handing
him the cup.
“Another?”
“No thank you.” - -
He sat on the arm rest of her

Blue Ridge Mountains?” he asked.
“About an hour perhaps,” he said
glancing at her wrist watch. Then
she turned towards the passing
scenery leaving him sitting on the
arm rest.
His body felt chilled and his mind
again became clouded.
“I hear they are very beautiful
and I’ve longed to see them. Many
writers have penned off master
pieces about them. I might get the
same inspiration.”
“Do you write?” she asked, fac
ing him pleasantly, her countenance
showing a different expression.
“Well, I have a small booklet of
poetry which I published last year.
It isn’t very much; but some dayj
I might do something worth while,
if I ever get the inspiration from!
