Many fans believed the Hospital
League Softball All-Stars would
have scored Us first victory over
the Col. Young All-Stars Sunday
if Richard Johnson, starting pit
cher, completed the game. He
was relieved by Lefty Long. The
Hospital team turned in their
best effort in four outings. The
Col. Young All-Stars were sot
up to par for the contest. War
rior’s Willie McGee, starting
pitcher for the Col. Young Stars,
was way off. Crystal’s Frank
Paul, the shutout artist, who
relieved him had difficulty with
the Hospital team. Bruins, Harry
Davis, Rooins’ Bucky Taylor and
Doll's Bobby Simmons checked
the Hospital team with the co
operation of excellent field
ing. The fielding of the Hospital
team was superb.
The decorated park at 145th St.
and Lenox Avenue gave fans a
’world series’ atmosphere.

Crystals Split In Softball
Bronx Crystals held on to its
slim lead in the Col. Young Soft-

145th St. and Lenox Avenue di
amond Sunday. The Robins won
the opener, 5-2, but dropped the
nightcap, 3-0.
Robins’ ace moundsman, Bucky
Taylor, with the aid of matchless
fielding, defeated Crystals’ top
pitcher, Frank Paul In the opener.
A three-run homer by Gregory
Marshall in the sixth inning, was
the deciding factor in the con
test.
In the nightcap Crystals’ stocky
moundsman, Vincent Creque, with
the aid of pinch hitter, Don
Green, who walloped a three run
homer in the fifth defeated Rob
ins’ Bobby Hayden.

Income Gap
Grows Wider
The gap between the white
wage earner and the Negro wage
earner Is “widening—not narrow
ing,” a labor official disclosd
last W’eek.
“Five years ago, the average
white worker earned about $4,300
a year, and the Negro about
$2,500. Today, the figures are
$5,400 and $3,000 respectively,”
said James B. Carey president
and secretary-treasurer of the
International Union of Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers.
Carey made the statement while
speaking Saturday to two dif-,
In his speech to the first group,
he said the labor movement
should not be condemned by the
public for the race-discrimination
sins of the minority.
He said “the public must ex
amine the problem of race re
lations and economics when it
thinks of civil rights in terms
of unions and college education.”
No Labels
He added that he thought it
was dishonest to label colleges
and universities “segregationist”
simply because some fraternities
and sororities prohibit Negro
membership, as well an the labor-
movement because of a “few,'
isolated unions.”
“I do not condone or excuse
racial discrimination by or in
any union” but “I think, however,
that a fair perspective would
show that the bulk of labor either
fought discrimination or have
actively aided” the fight against
discrimination, Carey said.
