Itoosevelt, wife of the President, told sixty boys and gills students from this country and abroad that persecution of the Jews in Germany and the Negro people in this country was inherently simi lar. Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to the group of students at the first Work Camp for Democracy in West Park, N. Y., opposite Poughkeepsie, as they swarmed about her to tell her what they were learning of democracy. She was eager to know. Negroes and Jews are both min ority guoups, Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out in reply to a question whether there was not a similari ty of attitudes towards Jews in Germany and the Negro people in the United States. The possibility of likeness in prejudices both groups encounter was inherent, whereas the problem of democia cies was to make all groups work together, the First I-ady declared. —-®0» "GROGS .RESOW A L L I E FIEND SERGE I N, HERE COMES THE COPS About 2:29 AM. the Main Event was a crowded house.

I noticed just gangs of beautiful maidens pouring in the Dreamland. My first thought was there a conven tion going on. No said James. Don’t kou know Red Rivers and his Cats are going to swing out tonight. So up stairs I went and what a treat I got. About 200 young people and flocks of elders swaying themselves into a frenzy. What a time they were having, j Everybody was happy and tne dance going like clock work. I Everybody dancing that wanted •■o. The crowd about evenly balan ved. All the critics that are al ways harping about the young folks should have seen those kids enjoying themselves. No there was no cop there. Didn’t need any because every one there was happy. All those kids know Jimmy and respect him because ho is one of them. He is kind but strict. One violation of the Dreamland rules and you are barred who wants to be barred from this dance palace. Miss Geraldine Smith and Mr. Jessio Hamilton stole the show when Geraldine and her partner started to jitterbug. The whole dance floor stops to take notiie. Boys and girls. She can dance.

Bill Tapley, ho hard hitting 2nd hare man ' it one of the longest home runs f believe ever was hit out broad vay park. For his feat Bill was c warded with a brand new sky niece which he won fairly. That home run was the first in 5 years, ihat cleared the fence that far recording to the umpire. About '00 colored fans really supported 'he beys with cow bells, tin tubs. Everything else that would make ■ vi e. At this writing the Coal hoys are | >ing into the finals i vilh Carter I.«ake, if support will am Omaha to yell their lungs I re. I can t praise no one man n the team because they all did heir level lies' and deserved to vin because they wmt into this urnament the under dogs. You eould have gotton 20 to l that hey didn’t win two games. They onled even the officials of the •urranient. The team that beat them for the championship in Omaha only won one game here hoping they emerge victorious in he finals. » * #■ f..ate.- results— ( VSH COAL' LOSE 6 TO I The Cash Coal boy? got Labor day confused with Chistmas. The pre-holiday spirit got into the Coal boys heart and they gave Carter Lake a great big ball game. That game meant so much to the colored people of Omaha, Just think, the first time in his tory that colored boys from the sand lots in Omaha went to the finals in the national known S. W Tournament. Why Carter Lake thought themselves that they were going to lose. In my personal opinion the Lakes only earned 2 runs. The other 4 was a gift on a silver platter. Even in the last half of the 9th the ball gamo could have been won or went into a extra inning. The boys seemed listivCs when -be hind. Too much dissention among themselves on the hall field. Well the chance to earn a national re putation have gone forever I be lieve. Too bad. Well we hops the boys will have a better team next year and may the past ex perience serve as a lesson to the next manager of any Negro ball team Leave friendship and per sonal feeling at home regardless of whom the player is. If he go bad and contrary to orders let the bench greet him in the next inning. You must have discipline even in your home or there will soon be no home. Good luck to the whole team regardless to what the fans have said in the past. You are still one of us and we love you. « * SENIOR EPENTS Team Standing: HSS, 30; Metz 26; Woodson Center, 6.
