New York City. — Matchmaker Tom McArdle of Madison Square Garden has arranged to send the winner the shirt to the school match against Andre Routis in a world featherweight title match, Aug. 22, in the Yankee Stadium. He signed Routis, Monday, with that understanding. This move would appear to give the Garden moguls the upper hand in the fight between Jack Dempsey and themselves for the Chocolate-Singer bout since the Hill was been eager to oxy the little Frenchman in the title. Then, too, Dempsey signed the Cuban to box Singer at 127 pounds, one of those unusual weights that the boxing fathers do not favor. All Want "The Keed"" New York City.—The promoters' war looms over priority rights in the much discussed Kid Chocolate Al Singer bout. Dempsey took the initiative, several days ago, by signing Chocolate for the fight at Ebebes Field, Brooklyn. The Cuban signed on the assurance that Dempsey would have no trouble landing Singer, since Hymie Caplin, the Bronx fighter's manager, had promised that he would put pen to paper as soon as he could see his way clear of Caplin, however, not only changed his position, but ped into the Garden and signed Singer to box Chocolate at the Polo Grounds in July at 130 pounds.

New York City.—Kid Chocolate, stiff punching Afro-Cuban, knocked out Tommy Ryan (white) of Buffalo in the first round of their 10-round match in the Broadway arena, Monday night. The "Keed" weighed 122. Ryan 128. He smothered his heavier rival (Ryan) from the opening bell. "Black Bill", Cuban flyweight, stopped Routier Parra (white) of Chile in the eighth of the scheduled ten-round semi-final. Chocolate also scored an easy decision victory over Vic Burrone (white) of New York, in a ten-round match at the St. Nicholas Arena, last week Monday night. He outboxed and outfought his opponent in every round but did not seem particularly to knock him out. Burrone was dropped several times for no count. "Gorilla" Jones, Akron, O., clutter, swapped punches with Joe Leegray (white) at the Madison Square Garden, last week Friday night. "The Greatest Fighter". *The Greatest Fighter*. When Joe Gans went to Goldfield, in 1906, to appear in the first fight staged by Tex Rickard, he was a man of muscle and bravery. He knew it. Only he and his manager did know it. He was a gaurt figure when he faced "Battling" Nelson in that ring under the blazing desert sun, but nobody knew how really sick he was. Certainly he did not show it in that fight. They might have given that bout to Gans on a foul in the first few rounds. Twice Nelson kicked him deliberately in the shins and spat at him. From the start, Nelson was charging Gans and "boring in" like an enraged rattled savage, but Gans seemed to be rolling the punches aside with ease, shuffling about flatfooted with apparent language. He locked in with Love when Rudolph Berg and I were sitting and kept up a running fire of conversation, which exasperated Nelson for a few rounds. Then he started to destroy Nelson's features deliberately and effectively. CHICAGO ALDERMAN HEADS GAMBLERS. Relationship Between Politics and Jobs—A Survey Disclosed Underworld Knows How to Get Out Vote. Durham, N. C.—The underworld is most effective in getting out the vote, because many people get their living that way, declared Dr. Wm. E. DuBois, speaking of the relationship between politics and jobs in the Fact-Finding Conference here, recently. In Chicago, he said, Bishop Carey is one of the civil service commissioners and holds his job because our people vote the Democratic and Republican tickets. Anybody who Prof. Wm. E. DuBois. wants to gamble, sell liquor or run a house of prostitution, DuBois said, cannot afford to be at odds with the civil service commissioner. One of our aldermen is head of a gambling house, and the hundred of the hands of dollars and assets one of our largest banks, DuBois continued. People who are opposed to vice and crime, he said, find themselves in a difficult position. They cannot get jobs any other way. I have nothing to say of Alderman Dan Jacket and his detritus against him", DuBois added. **Billed for** Philadelphia In Philadelphia, where 90 per cent of our people vote and where an Afro-American Democrat is a rare specimen, DuBois said, the situation is different from New York and Chicago. Only a few jobs are given out in Philadelphia, but by giving them jobs or mental positions at $1,200 to $2,000. Two members of the legislature there, he said, were selected by white bosses, like in Cleveland, O. Our people number 85 per cent of the voters in one ward which has a white councilman. Jews and Italians, he said, get more. There are 314 Afro-American Democrats, but no sergeants, lieutenants or captains of police. There are also firemen but no fire lieutenant. Richmong. Va. In Richmond, Va., only five per cent of the vote is Afro-American. None are Democrats and also none in office, he said. The segregation ordinance was started by the white churches because our people moved into their neighborhood. Women, he declared, do not vote. DuBois said that if the G. O. P. is reorganized, Afro-American will not be benefited. Anthony Overton, Chicago banker, said many of our papers are represented by a Chicago advertising agency which has a higher rate for Afro-American advertisers than for white. The Illustrated Feature Section, issued by this agency, now run by the Chicago company, is also controlled by white people and edited and managed in their own interest. It was one of the most vivid exhibitions of a bout between the perfect type of boxer and the perfect type of fighter that I ever saw. This continued for 40 rounds. By that time Nelson had nothing that resembled a human face. Gans was just a trifle leg weary, but his reflexes were working perfectly. He never missed and he never seemed to be hit. I always felt that he might have knocked out Nelson any time after 30 rounds, but he did not seem to care for this. He wanted to pay him back for those kicks on the shins. Both of Nelson's eyes were closing, and if it had gone on much longer the "Durable Dane" would have been removed entirely tightly. The expression on the face of Gans never changed. I can see if it, Gans was the greatest fighter under Queensberry rules, the most consummately clever lightweight that ever lived. W. O. McGeehan in The Cleveland Daily News, May 1, '29. St. James A. M. E. church will begin a campaign, Sunday, to raise $25,000 to pay off the mortgage indebtedness of the church property. It is proposed to raise half of the money from the members of the congregation and the remaining half from friends of the church. The property was purchased, several years ago, for $88,000 and the congregation has paid off $22,-000 of this amount. HOSPITAL DR. BYRD SAYS "FORGET IT" AND "MEASURE UP" AS CITIZENS. Virginia's "Assinine Display"—"Best White Citizens" Flog Man and Return Him to Jail—Reprehensible as Lynching—Elks' Scandal. Jersey City, N. J. May 1, '29. (Special to The Gazette) The Gazette is rendering fine service to the cause of equal manhood and privileges of our people in its battle against separate hospitals for our people in Cleveland. The moment a separate hospital is launched, that moment an inferior institution will be put into action. Inferior accommodations and equipment also, require things a "race" hospital is still LILLY to begin where hospitals care for "humanity". Why should our people desire themselves shunted aside into some "race" hole where inferior persons will seek to do for them what skilled and the most accomplished people do for other races? Our men and women, coming from the south into the northern section of the country, should leave their southern inferiority complex institutions behind them! Let our compassionists make the fight to be admitted to the practice in the hospitals of Cleveland, the city where the treatment they haven't had the training to warrant hospital practice, let them attend special schools where they may equip themselves. In taking our position in this matter, it is not elevated on the association that we are elevated by associating with any other group, nor are we craving for the association of other groups, but when the city or state or community prepare certain accommodations or institutions for all the citizens why should ours say by their actions that we are not citizens? Everything the city should prepare for ours means that we should mean ALL cities without regard to color or race. Editor Harry C. Smith is a tower of strength in his fight for the right of equal opportunities, equal recognition and accommodations for all our people of Cleveland. All good citizens should back him! The Most Assinine Display! The Elks' Scandal Our grand lodge of Elks presents a serious question to our people, every where. Namely: does it pay? Has this order strengthened the morale of the race? Has it conducted its affairs so as to attract intelligent young men and women to unite with it?

Quite a number of our singers attended the rehearsal of the Cleveland Music Festival at Public Hall, Sunday afternoon. The Gazette's editorial of last week had a very salty effect upon Messrs. Metcalf and Williams, managers, the latter also director, of the festival chorus. Councilman E. J. Gregg's resolution urging President Hoover to pay equal attention to the 14th, 15th and 18th amendments to the U. S. Constitution was adopted by the city council, Monday evening. The councilman might at least try to do something for his constituents. They need so much. Better street-car service on Central and Scovill Ave. street car lines, for instance. Councilman Clayborne George might interest his colleagues, Rev. R. S. Brown and Gregg, and accomplish the end desired. The Gazette was pleased to see the determined and organized effort to secure the election of Mrs. Mary Brown Martin as successor of Mrs. Virginia D. Green, deceased member of the school board. If we never contend for representation, our people are entitled to, it will never be secured. That we do not always suc- Every Sunday School, Organized Class, B. Y. P. U., Boy Cadet and religious worker interested in Front Line Sunday Schools are urgently requested to meet me face to face in the Sunday School Congress in Cleveland, Ohio, June 5-10, 1929. Let us leave no stone unturned in our very definite program for the extension of His kingdom here upon earth. There is much work to be done. The harvest is truly great, but the laborers are few. I feel it encumbent upon me to urge upon the Sunday School Force to take advantage of this opportunity to do something in their day and generation to plant the banner of King Emanuel on high heights, to spread the gospel everywhere, to put a piece of Baptist literature in every home, to see that the Bible is no longer a secret Book, but make it accessible to all. Reduced round-trip rates on the identification certificate plan have been applied for. Cleveland is assuring us that she will receive us with open arms. Every Sunday School, every religious organization that feels able, may send a personal representative, a messenger from all of their classes, all of their auxiliaries to this gathering. There will be no strangers at the Congress; it will be a Summer Sunday School of Methods; it will be a workshop for Sunday School workers—five days of actual instructions, five days of institute work, five days of extension program, five days of real training. Those Sunday Schools who cannot come in person may be represented through their enrollment. If you are interested in the extension of the kingdom through our denominational work and activity, communicate with me. If you want a railroad identification certificate which will enable messengers and dependent members of their families to secure the rate, write to me for one, or for any other information in a denominational way, that you think I can give you. ceed is no reason why we should not at least make the effort to do so. We may succeed next time! Whether we do or not, we simply must keep on trying. Petitions signed by several hundred Clevelanders of both races, in Mrs. Martin's behalf, were submitted to the board, Monday evening, by Norman L. McGhee and Mrs. Iola Wimbs Ellis. Mrs. Martin should prepare to stand as a candidate for the school board at the next opportunity to do so. MRS. ANNIE E. MALONE. Under the auspices of eight of our local churches, Mrs. Annie E. Malone, head of the great PORO COLLEGE of St. Louis, presented the intensely interesting and edifying film, "Poro College in Moving Pictures", at Mt. Zion Cong. temple, Thursday evening. The house was crowded, of course, and the large audience was also treated to a short address by Mrs. Malone which all Mrs. Annie E. Malone. thoroly enjoyed. The proceeds of the entertainment de luxe went to the churches and is but an indication of the splendid generosity that has for years characterized the greatest philanthropist of the race, Mrs. Annie E. Malone. The editor of The Gazette, on special invitation of Mrs. Malone, was one of the fortunes who was present at the opening of the great $350,000 Poro College, years ago, and several years later attended also the opening of its $150,000 annex, again on her special invitation. The entire plant she built and paid for promptly when finished. A beautiful $500,000 business plant which has been materially added to since—the greatest in the possession of the race. And the work of a modest, intelligent, Christian woman of the race. A wonderful monument to her and an everlasting busi- ness guide and encouragement to Afro-American business. It houses, too, scores of our intelligent and progressive young men and women, employees. Long life, unlimited success and more power to our leader in the business world of this country. Mrs. Annie E. Malone of St. Louis, Mo. larly. The commissioner was present at the hearing but not one of the councilmen. Editor Harry C. Smith was not in attendance because he had no knowledge of the "battle" until the two ladies came to his office to tell him of it. Then, too, it was the councilmen's duty he would have usured had he knowledge of THE COMING BAPTIST CONGRESS Practically all of our local Baptist churches, under the direction of Rev. Ernest Hall, pastor of East Mt. Zion Baptist church and his ministerial, laymen and other associates in the management of the arrangements for the coming of the great Baptist Sunday-School Congress, June 5 to 10, are working like "trojans", and the anticipations of our people of Cleveland are running high because they realize that the Congress is really going to be something out of the ordinary in many respects, something never before witnessed in this city. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., promoter of the great gathering, is a "live-wire", full of enthusiasm, aggressive and exceptionally capable as a leader. He knows how to get results, which accounts largely for his many splendid successes in such efforts in the past, extending over many years. Mr. Boyd invites every Sunday-school, organized class, boy cadet, and religious worker to meet him at this great conference, and urges that no stone be left unturned for further expansion of the great S. S. work yet to be done. The delegates to the Congress from all sections of the country may rest assured of the generous hospitality Cleveland is noted for, far and wide—the very best possible—and follow their leader and the Congress' official staff into this city with the utmost confidence of experiencing a wonderful time in the service of the Master. "On to Cleveland" is the slogan. WHAT KEPT EDITOR SMITH. Editor N. Y. Age:—Our answer to The Age's question—"What kept Editor Harry C. Smith out of the fray"—having reference to the splendid fight two of our local women made, recently, before a Council committee investigating unfairness in the appointment of persons who had taken city civil service examinations, were eligible and yet were ignored, is this: Cleveland has three Afro-American councilmen and a member of the civil service commission who are expected to at least "look after" their own people in such matters, particu- Visit Niagara Falls, Canada and the East via C & B Line Palatial Steamers WHETHER traveling by train or auto, enjoy an all night's ride on beautiful Lake Erie.

RAZOR SHARPENED WIT OF HISTORIAN Biography Tells of Rhodes' Life in Cleveland and the Help of a Local Barber. If there is a lesser hero buried in the pages of "James Ford Rhodes, American Historian", my published, that hero is George A. Myers, proprietor of the Holldenbar barber shop A. M. W. Howe, author of the Rhodes biography in this particular length how Myers aided Rhodes in various ways in Rhodes' "History of the Civil War", which won the Pulitzer history prize. Incidentally, the tale brings out the very human side of Rhodes, whose writings on the Civil War period stand as the work of a master in this particular field. In 1857 Rhodes, who was born in Cleveland, May 1, 1848, and who died in Brookline, Mass., Jan. 2, 1927, returned from a trip to Europe and set himself up in pleasant quarters at 901 Euclid Ave. Myers came every day to shave him. Moted Books and Razor. "If the ministrations of Mr. George Myers." How states "were constantly needed by Rhodes at the time of his wearing the 'Pleadilly weepers' that preceded the Van Dyke beard of his later years, Myers on the other hand was indebted to Rhodes, together with a few other substantial men of Cleveland, including Mark Hanna, for setting him up in business in 1885. The bearing of all this on Rhodes as historian and author of the Civil War in Dr. Harvey Cushing's anecdote of his first meeting with the Civil War authority in a chair in the Myers barber shop, when its proprietor declared of the historian's books: "He did the easy work on 'em and I did the heavy. Every morning when I went out to his house on Euclid Avenue to shave him, I had to stop at the Case Library so's to be the shade of things he wanted. I did the heavy work on those histories." When Rhodes was working on the McKinley and Hanna regime at Washington, Myers, who knew his Ohio politics, proved a valuable source of information. — Sunday's Plain Dealer. CARD OF THANKS.

Harry C. Smith, Raitor Gazette, Cleveland, 0. Dear Sir:—I am somewhat sur- prised to read your editorial “Not Time” of April 6th publication, an Absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rey, Russell S. Brown. It will be hard for me to believe that Rey. Brown reported such a false- hood, for 1 have high regard for him vs a Christian gentleman. 1 believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that, I have more confidence in moral suasion and diplomacy as methods of achievement than radi ealism, Very truly yours, EB. J. Gregg, M.D. Councilman Gregg says he didn’t say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity be- tween the gentlemen named, with two against one. ‘Therefore, the pre- ponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever “labored hard for ‘Negro’ advancement in Cleve- land” we have failed to learn of it, tho we have watched his career here ever since he landed, trom “down home".— Editor. Sia | tien gieteiea (gi atacteD Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, 0. Dear Sir:—I appreciate your call- ing me over the telephone and ap- prizing me of that part of Dr. Gregg’s letter to you which refers to me. I did not give you the informa- tion which was the basis of your edi- torial but J presume you got it from some oue who had talked with me about the matter. First. let me give you the “heart” of the resolution referred to: “That a special committee of three members of this Council, to be ap- pointed by the mayor, is hereby au- thorized and directed’ to investigate the operation of the City Hospital and any contracts of the city with any institutions or agencies with a view of ascertaining whether full and equal opportunities are accord- ed all citizens for training in medical and nursing professions”. This was discussed in a meeting among a number of friends. It was at that meeting that Dr. E. J. Gregg opposed the resolution on the ground that it was untimely; that there ex- isted an organization of white nurses which would not allow their mem- bers to work with colored nurses, and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might dis- rupt the morale of the entire hos- pital. I maintained then, as 1 do now, that an official investigation and re- port on the matter will give us a basis on which to work. It is both timely and right to open the City Hospital to our boys and girls, This is as near as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were not the only members of our race Present. Atty. Clayborn George, councilman, was also present, Please call him and ask him to relate what he understood Dr. Gregg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. Very truly yours, Rawell:§. Brown: George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, "29. Hon.

Why don’t they go on back “down home” and revel in “jim- crow” hospitals and about everything else. They are making nuisances of themselves here, trying to not only impede our peoples’ progress in this community but positively trying to make them retrograde. Shame! BROWN AND GEORGE. ARE NOT LIARS! Our local contemporary, quotes Councilman E, J. Gregg as saying, last week, in reference to what Counciimen Russell 8. Brown and Clayborne George say he said at that caucus of Republican members of the Cleveland City Council, several weeks ago, referred to on page 4 of ‘this paper: “Did you make such a statement? Gregg was asked", said our local contemporary, last! week. “No, that’s a damned ite", replied Gregg, according to said contempor- ary. er. Dr. R, S. Brow, pastor of Mt.
