Friday of every week by the Inter-State January 26, 1926, at the Post Office in New Ye Political Realities OVER fifty thousand Negroes in City next election day. It is to express their choice and opinion administration the place of the years is a long time, so the Negro intelligent use of his ballot. To vote intelligently, the certain questions before entering particularly to his problem City. For example: transportation to every person who works at any increase in the price of the means a lot to him in four years ask himself whether the politicmitted to a policy of low and high. Next in importance is house himself which party to his know in his city to protect him from by enacting legislation prevent. Every citizen should really extent that each week's surplus show. Thus, if a man or woman expenses amount to that much ing. If the citizen has five or expenses, then he or she is the item in living expenses being pay disproportionate rents because due to race prejudice which landlords, any effort made by landlords from boosting rents come. It means putting money. Then, the citizen is or ought of the younger generation. In far from ideal for child raising better we mean, more playground traffic regulations and more off. In casting his ballot the Negro things. In every municipality there are about 47,000 employed by it should not be discriminated at there is any chance for us to get getting well-paid jobs for Negro vote for the political party who best in that regard. The question then, as man whether this or that candidate talk like that around election meaning to those conversant is no matter how "good" a candidate democracy without the support less of a man's personal ideas to go along with his party if he. It is his party that puts him in after he gets there. The logic himself is, then, not "What man as political realists, it appears of New York City will best serve the Democratic administration in the five-cent fare; it passed especially to prevent the gougier placed or is placing traffic light has increased the number of Negro when the Republicans left office an aggregate salary of $3,852,000 lieutenant, police surgeon and certified Negro physicians and nurses of equality (unheard of elsewhere of Negro policemen, including a $6,937,098 for public improvement. The intelligent Negro voter his best interest to keep the city the Democratic Party. OVER fifty thousand Negroes will go to the polls in New York City next election day. It is their one chance in four years to express their choice and opinion as to the sort of municipal administration the place of their residence should have. Four years is a long time, so the Negro voter should be sure to make intelligent use of his ballot. To vote intelligently, the colored citizen should ask himself certain questions before entering a voting booth; questions relating particularly to his problems as a resident of New York City. For example: transportation is a most important question to every person who works any distance from where he lives. Any increase in the price of the necessary ride to and from work means a lot to him in four years time. Therefore the voter should ask himself whether the political party he is voting for is committed to a policy of low and reasonable carfares. Next in importance is housing. The colored voter should ask himself which party to his knowledge in the past has done most in his city to protect him from the rapacity of grasping landlords by enacting legislation preventing excessive increases in rents. Every citizen should realize that he is only living to the extent that each week's surplus over and above his expenses can show. Thus, if a man or woman is earning $25 a week and living expenses amount to that much, then that person is merely existing. If the citizen has five or ten dollars left after paying all expenses, then he or she is living to that extent. The biggest item in living expenses being rent, and Negroes being forced to pay disproportionate rents because of excess of demand over supply due to race prejudice which places them at the mercy of the landlords, any effort made by an administration to keep these landlords from boosting rents already too high is certainly welcome. It means putting money into the pockets of Negroes. Then, the citizen is or ought to be interested in the welfare of the younger generation. In Harlem conditions have long been far from ideal for child raising. They ought to be better, and by better we mean, more playgrounds, more comfort stations, better traffic regulations and more officers to prevent child delinquency. In casting his ballot the Negro citizen should think of such things. In every municipality there are thousands of employes. There are about 47,000 employed by the City of New York. Negroes should not be discriminated against because of their color. If there is any chance for us to get some of our taxes back through getting well-paid jobs for Negro men and women, we ought to vote for the political party whose record in the past has been best in that regard. The question then, as many readers will surmise, is not whether this or that candidate is "a good man." Most Americans talk like that around election time, but the expression has no meaning to those conversant with political realities. No matter how "good" a candidate is, he can do nothing in a democracy without the support and assistance of others. Regardless of a man's personal ideas and qualities, he will always have to go along with his party if he wishes to accomplish anything. It is his party that puts him in office and enables him to function after he gets there. The logical question each voter must ask himself is, then, not "What man?" but "What party"? As political realists, it appears to us that the Negro citizens of New York City will best serve their interests by voting for the Democratic administration in the coming election. It has kept the five-cent fare; it passed an emergency rent law last June especially to prevent the gouging of Harlem rent payers; it has placed or is placing traffic lights on the main thoroughfares; it has increased the number of Negro city employees from 172 in 1917 when the Republicans left office to 2,275 in 1929, drawing annually an aggregate salary of $3,852,000; it has appointed a Negro fire lieutenant, police surgeon and civil service commissioner; admitted Negro physicians and nurses to the city hospitals on terms of equality (unheard of elsewhere in America) appointed scores of Negro policemen, including a Detective Sergeant and has spent $6,937,098 for public improvement in Harlem since 1925. The intelligent Negro voter must conclude, then, that it is to his best interest to keep the city administration in the hands of the Democratic Party. --- B The Interstate Jattler Ex-Governor Smith To Aid Walker Campaign There's certainly complete harmony in Tammany Hall these days and this argues well for another four years of Mayor Walker and his colleagues in the governing of the World's Wonder City, New York. True, big chief John F. Curry has not committed himself on the campaign to date, yet there is every reason to believe that he is well satisfied. Friends of the new war-chief declare that Mr. Curry looks with considerable pleasure to the re-election of May- THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY SOCIETY or Walker and his associates, Berry and McKee and an overwhelming victory over his political foes. Last Monday, Mayor Walker launched out on the initial step of a three weeks' speaking tour that will keep him busy right up to the eve of the election. With his colleagues heading the ticket and ex-Governor Smith, the Mayor plans to speak in every one of the boroughs, while the ex-governor will center the attack on doubtful centers. According to the program, Walker will speak twice to Harlem audiences and it is just possible that Smith will appear in the section at least once, perhaps toward the latter part of the campaign. Everything points to a landslide for the Walker slate. The strategy of ignoring the "Mud-Slinging" of La Guardia and Enright is proving effective, Tammany leaders believe. Of the three men opposing Walker, Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate, would be the most dangerous were he not running on the Socialist ticket, is the belief of shrewd politicians. Both Enright and La Guardia have injured their chances by making charges they were unable to prove. Policeman Is Cleared in the Shooting of Lincoln Student Brooklyn Magistrate Seeks To Squash Action Against Officer Lowe But Lad's Father Demands Justice. Judge Argues It Was Unfortunate "That Your Son Happened To Stop A Bullet."2 JUST a few minutes before the hearing of the complicated case of Policeman Walter C. Lowe (white) vs. Ralph Baker and William Fountain, Lincoln University students, at the Gates Avenue Court, Brooklyn, last Monday, Magistrate Mark Rudich called the policeman, the two boys, their fathers and attorneys into his private office in an attempt to iron out the matter for an amicable and quick settlement. "I am going to discuss all charges but I understand that this officer is being pressed for money. You must take into consideration the earning power of this man who has been suspended from the force for thirty-two days," stated the magistrate. When Rev. J. H. Baker demand-ous use of firearms—a careless use ed justice, Magistrate Rudich was of firearms—it was merely unforat a loss and said: "I don't know tunate that your son happened to what you mean by justice. Even stop a bullet. I cannot find any assuming there was a promiscu- malice on the policeman's part, and Restaurateur Shoots Man When Threatened Magistrate Ewald held Benjamin Williams, (white), 44, proprietor of a restaurant at 58 West 133rd Street, without bail, for further hearing Thursday, when arraigned in Washington Heights Court last Monday, on a charge of felonious assault and attempt to kill, for the shooting of Daniel Holmes, 30 of 2114 Fifth Avenue. Williams, after an argument, it is said to have gone behind a counter, picked up a pistol and fired one shot at Holmes, hitting him in the groin. Holmes is in a serious condition in Harlem Hospital, and will be charged with attempted felonious assault if he recovers. According to Williams, Holmes entered the restaurant intoxicated and started making trouble. He spoke nicely to the man but Holmes was in a rowdy moon and threatened to cut him, (Williams) up. This was more than the restaurateur could stand, so he proceeded to get and use his pistol. Purse Snatcher Given Long Winter Vacation James Morris, 38, a longshoreman of 28 West 18th Street, was sentenced to five months and 25 days on the island for disorderly conduct. The man was directly accused of snatching a purse from Evelyn Brown, (white), twenty-year old singer living at 111 West 96th Street, on whose complaint the man was arrested. According to the girl's story, she was in the Times Square subway station on the 11th of October and suddenly missed her purse. She saw Morris standing not far away and the missing purse was tucked snugly under the man's arm. She waited until a ploliceman came along when she had Morris arrested. ous use of firearms—a careless use of firearms—it was merely unfortunate that your son happened to stop a bullet. I cannot find any malice on the policeman's part, and without malice and without intent to do harm, I cannot hold him." Then Morris L. Ernst, the Baker's attorney, asked that the case be proceeded with in court. Angered, Rudich marched out of his chambers, took his place on the bench, and called the case. On September 9th the officer shot and dangerously wounded young Baker and arrested Fountain, charging the latter with felonious assault. The Baker boy made his way to the street and was taken in a taxi to the police station and from there to St. Johns' Hospital. The shooting took place just outside the Troy Avenue Station of the Fulton Street Line and according to the policeman, the two boys had insulted him and a young woman he was escorting home. Baker and his companion both denied the charges and declared that they were not even on the train at the time of the alleged insult to the policeman and his lady companion. Young Baker who was the first witness, claimed that he and Fountain had just reached the Troy Avenue Station when two men rushed by them pursued by a third, who was shooting as he was running. He ducked out of the way and did not realize he had been shot for several minutes. Then he got into a taxi cab and ordered the driver to take him to the nearest police precinct. A number of others corroborated the statement of the two boys and the officer himself seemed somewhat in doubt as to whether they were the ones who had offended him. The young lady who was the cause of the shooting did not appear. Magistrate Rudich then dismissed all charges but young Baker's lawyer declared that he intended taking the matter up with the police commissioner and if necessary, place the matter before Mayor Walker. He is now preparing to sue the policeman and the city to recover damages.

Courtesy of Campbell's Studio Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond THE thrill of a lifetime. I have been presented to Rudy Vallee. I have talked to Rudy Vallee. I have walked the whole length of Rockland Palace with Rudy Vallee. I have danced to Rudy Vallee music. Life is so beautiful. By this time you know that I attended the American-West Indian New's Rudy Vallee Ball Monday night at Rockland Palace. It was magnificent. Everybody had a gorgeous time. The A. W. I. staff are perfect at the host business.

The Eleven O'Clock Club brought out its sheik-tent trimmings,gay banners hung every where, but the King Bee Social Club won the coveted Vallee megaphone. Not only did they have a smart banner, colorful autumn leaves and flowers to set it off, but also a special banner in their club colors with a welcome to the King of Jazz and his two orchestras. And so for being thoughtful of the guest of honor, the w.k. Allen Benton walked off with the prize. It was a great night. *** Helen Douglas had a birthday Saturday. I know of no better day to celebrate the anniversary of one's birth, particularly if Lloyd James is to pitch the party, because after a Lloyd party, one needs a full day to recover. Many came, few stood up through the night, but even the vanquished were happy. There were tubs, crocks, bowls and bottles of liquids of every hue and color. For hours poor Dr. Russell did nothing but carve turkeys and hams and poor Lillian Bagnall dished the most intriguing of salads, cheese and French sandwiches. We danced, we ate, we drank, we stumbled over each other and eventually we all broke down and confessed that Helen was the most beautiful cause for a party and Lloyd the most perfect host. Would love to tell you who was there but can't make the grade. I vaguely remember McCleary Stinnette and A'Lella Walker brought a French Prince and Princess. (The Prince was tall and handsome); that Wallace Thurman introduced Bunny Steffenson, a blonde Scandinavian; that Malinda was represented by Webb Richardson and Fay Harper Rutledge; that Caska Bonds brought Allen Glenn who is in Bitter Sweet and has been in London for three years; that here and there were Carlotta Grant, Charlie Cotton, Bertha Lambert, Eunice Shreeves, Arthur Norris, Harold Jackman, Bea Wilson, Larkie Williams. Cyril Reed, Clinton Moore, Ellen Fountaine, Pearl Craft, Irma Overton, Lonnie Hicks and so on and so on. * * * What a Saturday night—Carol Boyd had cocktails at his apartment before Lloyd's party and Charlie Brown served more cocktails and breakfast at Clinton's after Lloyds. Charlie had a marvelous Spanish dish of rice, chicken and mushrooms in a tomato sauce. I know the Spanish name, but can't spell it. N. Milas Tanner, formerly of Charlotte, but now of the Big City, was official pilot for Arnold Shaw and Robert Oldwine of Dayton, Ohio, during their ten day visit to Harlem. The going was good. Theatres, coctail parties and night-lifting were their favorite sports. They returned West by way of Washington. There was a reson—presumably a good one—but I recall it not. Dr. Shaw was at the wheel. Of course, they motored. The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

The ladies were dolled down in their pajamas. Carolye McClain looked beautiful in her Oriental suit; Eunice Brooks was adorable in her black and red ensemble; Blanche Morton in her black and cerise Tuxedo ensemble; Blanche Dunn was exquisite in a black satin gown, she did not care for pajamas. Blanche Morton seemed to be the favorite o fthe house so she won the prize, a French atomizer, then she did the snake hips that rivaled Earl's. Our boys, Jerry, Bagely and Hammerstein did their stuff while Wilbur White with his sweet singing voice was late but got here just the same, and then Willie Elmore and Rodriquez tickled the ivories until we had to leave. * * * Mrs. Mary Johnson of 401 Edgecombe Avenue, assisted by Helen Payne, poured Sunday afternoon.

In the case of brain tumor we have symptoms which result from effect on portion of brain involved. In many cases an examination of the spinal fluid is necessary. 1. Many toxic patients may have symptoms which resemble paresis. There are several other diseases from which paresis must be differentiated. However the history, physical examination, symptoms and laboratory examinations will aid in the diagnosis of the disease. The disease is said to be absolutely fatal, although an occasional alleged cure is reported by the malarial innoculation method. Remissions quite frequently occur so that the patient may be well enough to leave the hospital and remain away for weeks or even months. The facts that remissions occur should never be forgotten in stating the condition to the relatives. The acute forms of the disease are rapidly fatal, the majority die in from eighteen months to three years, while in a certain few cases the disease process is very slow and may occupy many years. Paresis is a disease for institutional care. The patient is absolutely unable to care for himself and in a great majority of instances the friends are equally unable to care for him. As soon as the diagnosis is made steps should be taken looking towards the appointment of a committee of his person and property or otherwise guarding his business interests, which upon investigation will show evidences of poor management, the result of early manifestations of the dementia. Death usually occurs from some other affection, pneumonia, inflammation of the bladder, terminal infection, or from the disease itself, which leads to an extreme degree of emaciation and exhaustion.

GREEN'S RIOTOUS REVUE "DIXIE to HARLEM" FLORENZ ZIEGFELD'S "SHOW BOAT" WEEK BEGINNING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26th Eddie Rector and Company in "SUNSHINE FOR ALL" also "BROADWAY" THE FIRST MILLION DOLLAR TALKING PICTURE At The Lafayette The new policy of opening its shows on a Saturday, got off to a flying start last week when the enterprising management of the Lafayette Theatre presented one of the most delightful stage and screen programs in the history of that popular playhouse. This program will continue up to and including Friday, October 25th, ending with the midnight show on that day. The program consists of George Green's delightful musical comedy revue "Dixie to Harlem" and Florenz Ziegfeld's all talking and singing musical and dramatic sensation "Show Boat". "Dixie to Harlem" is noteworthy mostly for its splendid comedy and chorus dancing, the latter by both the boy and the girl choruses, and also from the fact that it presents for the first time in three years the world's greatest woman boxers two beautiful colored girls who have met and bested many men, who have fought at all the capitals of Europe and who are today the only licensed women boxers in this country. These two girls are Emma Maitland and Aurelia Wheeldin. They give a most remarkable exhibition of scientific fighting and slugging, packing more action into six or seven minutes than one can see at any ringside. The comedy in "Dixie to Harlem" is provided by "Greengrass" Mason, George Booker, Billy Mitchell, Slim Thompson and Charlie Johnson. The combined efforts of this extraordinary quintette is keeping this week's audiences at the Lafayette rolling with laughter. Other members of the cast who are scoring with the audience are Imogene Calloway, Mamie Miller, Susie Worton and the Six Tapping Fools. ```markdown ``` A revue of Florenz Ziegfeld's "Show Boat" would see almost superfluous in these columns. It is necessary only to say that the talking picture has taken Edna Ferber's famous romantic novel and Florenz Ziegfeld's gorgeous and gigantic musical spectacle and made them into a truly marvelous talking and singing picture entertainment. At the performance which this reviewer attended there were many tear-dimmed eyes amongst the audience during the unfolding of the tragic romance and there was more applause and laughter than he has seen accord a picture in many months. Jules Bledsoe, the famous colored actor THE FIGHT and singer, is one of the leading characters in "Show Boat." Helen Morgan, Aunt Jemima, Laura La Plante and Joseph Schildkraut are among the famous stage and screen celebrities that comprise the cast of this picture. AURORA GREELY and LE ROY BLOOMFIELD noted dancers whose sensational work in California has created favorable reports from critics and public alike. Eastern theatre managers are said to be seeking their services. ❶ At The Alhambra "The Ghost Ship" is a wild tale of a haunted vessel in the Pacific Ocean, of the lust of the burly captain defeated by rugged courage. It calls for the most elaborate stage set yet seen at the Alhambra Theatre. The fiendish captain is played by Stanleigh Morrell who was a member of David Belasco's "Lulu Belle" cast and has appeared in other Broadway productions. Thomas Moseley as the mate of the Begins Saturday ship and Bob Bramlett as a stowaway rescue a handsome young passenger, played by Edna Harris, from the captain's clutches. Artie Cain comes back to the Alhambra and is enthusiastically received in the part of a girl drifting from port to port with the sailormen. S. H. Dudley, Jr., is an American fleeing from war-torn China. Bessie Wrightson is the Chinese slave-girl of the captain, and there are numerous other minor characters in what proves to be a weird and exciting adventure. "Ragtime to Jazz" brings to the Alhambra that unique comedian Sam Manning, famous as "Mr. THE Squashi," to join with Edgar Martin, John La Rue and the other funmakers. Leona Williams, long a favorite in the night clubs of Harlem, and Jennie Dancer, from down-town vaudeville, find a warm welcome. Manda Randolph has a "Song of Harlem" that brings many encores, and Mary Clemons renders dances that made her an idol of Paris. The revue begins with that haunting tune which first made Irving Berlin famous, "Alexander's Ragtime Band," by the Alhambra Girls parading and playing musical instruments. After that, the Jazz of the present day is played in contrast. Something not usually in the theatre, pleased the audience immensely when Amanda Randolph, their favorite presented a young chorus girl.

Of course, this will come in time, but there is no time since the present. At The Hudson Hammusiaam gallore and some of the finest stepping that has ever been seen by an audience on Broadway marks "Hot Chocolates" at the Hudson Theatre, West 44th Street, as among the sure-fire hits of the season. Running in color from the slightly sepia tint of blood-haired chorines to the unmistakable ebony of Jazzlips Richardson, the entire Harlemesque production is among the few things that would congest traffic on any Brooklyn side street even if none other than Grover Whalen himself were energetically attempting to keep calmer and other motorists going at their usual decorous pace. Dancing what am and then more of in is done by each member of a large and well-trained cast whose movements, though often as perfectly timed as the ticking of an electric clock, still manage to maintain a certain amount of real individuality. Jazzlipe Richardson, to our mind the unquestioned star of the production, does memorable steps in a really memorable manner and brings down enthusiastic applause from the top gallery as well as from the conventioning soap salesmen, who display their slight inebriation in the lower right section of the orchestra. Paul and Thelma Meeres, exotically shaded and gracefully capable hooders, are worthy of all the attention which they attract, and that is plenty. The performance of Louise Cook, goddess of the wriggly hips, and the work of the Six Crackerjacks cannot be passed over without mention. Throughout, the show is characterized by unbounded good nature, gorgeously hued epidermis, large quantities of hair dressing and dancing par excellence. The sort of an entertainment that starts the fares begging the nearest hackie to take them up to Harlem for a more extended study of dusky clubs than they can make during the time that Connie's "Hot Chocolates" are performing on the Hudson boards. Manhattan Players Support Classic Contest BY TED YATES Last week, the much-talked-of and popular Tattler Queen of the Classic Contestant, Gloria McCutcheon, Manhattan Club entry was tied with the Misses Tattler and Macklin for first place with 1000 votes.

On Thursday last Mrs. Crenshaw arranged a very beautiful surprise party in honor of the 80th birthday of her grandmother, Mrs. Brown. The cutting of the exquisite birthday cake by the dear old soul will be long remembered by those present. The guests were: Rev. and Mrs. H. B. Thomas, Mrs. Sophia Hurd, Mrs. James Wilson, Mrs. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Robertson, of New York, Mr. and Mrs. William James of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Mattie Ray, Mrs. Kennedy adn Mrs. Clausell. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Warfield also entertained a party of friends in honor of their mother, Mrs. Warfield, of Los Angeles, at their home. * * * Rev. Frank A. Harris and wife have returned from the annual conference to serve us another year. Rev. Harris reports that the conference was the best in the history of the state. In addition to his pastorial duties Rev. Harris is the Conference Superintendent of the Allen Christian Endeavor League and Chief Secretary of the California Conference. Mrs. Ida Hargrove of Yuma, Ariz., is a visitor in Santa Barbara. Mr. E. M. Hubbs and Rev. Green of Los Angeles, worshipped at St. Paul A. M. E. Church last Sunday. Mrs. L. J. Vaughner is visiting in Seattle the guest of Mrs. Julia Phillips, 220 22nd Avenue, in that city. Many of our people journeyed to Los Angeles Sunday, Sept. 29th, to hear Congressman Oscar DePriest deliver one of his famous "pep" talks at the Shrine Auditorium. Dr. Hudson spoke in behalf of the N.

The Hearts in Dixie Chorus under the direction of Miss Bilbrew brought the house to thunderous applause. Mrs. Laurette Butler and her kiddies contributed a song dedicated to Oscar, telling the world "We are with you Oscar twenty million strong" and the promising little prima donna doing the heavy lead was a ten-year-old tot with a clear sweet voice who held the audience spellbound and I don't mean maybe. Mr. Clarence Muse sang "King for a Day" and responded to the encores by a Mammy song, assisted by the Hearts in Dixie Chorus. Mr. De Priest was introduced to the vast audience by his colleague, Congressman Joe Crall. The address was replete with sage advice of the importance of a thorough study of the Constitution, the importance of organization and of faith and sanctity of our women. The Southern Section of The Women's Club of California entertained at a beautiful tea in the Y. M. C. A., East 28th Street, from 2 until 5 P. M. for Mr. and Mrs. DePriest. 中 Wednesday evening Mrs. James Wilson celebrated her Golden Anniversary with a travelogue party. Mrs. Wilson recently returned from a little jaunt of more than eight thousand miles, seeing the sights in the cities East of the Great Divide and everything and she told us all about it in a most interesting and comprehensive way. A beautiful spread of this and that was served and of course we sampled and sampled the punch and we all went home very late and very glad that we had been there. --- The card party given by the Women's Self Improvement Club at the home of Mrs. C.

OCT. N.Y.U.Caters to Prejudice in Dave Myers Ban ED SULLIVAN, militant Sports Editor of the "Evening Graphic", appears to be the one Nordic writer possessed with courage enough to flay the officials of New York University for their actions in banning their star player—Dave Myers, a colored student, at the behest of Georgia University. This glowing editorial tribute to Myers and the race to which we belong, is a genuine masterpiece of "Fairplay," and for fear that you did not read it in Monday's edition, we republish excerpts of Sullivan's red-blooded Challenge: Page Twelve N.Y.U.C.

The Georgians have asked N. Y. U. to bench Myers, the colored boy, and N. Y. U. has agreed. About November 2, a week before the University of Georgia game, New York University officials will announce calmly that Dave Myers has been unfortunately crippled and will not be able to play on November 9. New York University, if it carries out this fine piece of callousness, should go a bit further. If a New York City university allows the Mason-Dixon line to be erected in the center of its playing field, then that New York City university should disband its football season for all time. Dave Myers is a fine type of colored boy. The fact that he has served as president of the Student Council at Stuyvesant High School, the highest elective honor in the school, proves his calliber. If the University of Georgia cannot see its way clear to allow Myers to play against the Southern team, then N. Y. U. should cancel the game. Regardless of how Myers may feel about it and no matter how willing he may be to subordinate his claims to the unfair demands of his school, New York University should not deliberately and cruelly affront this colored lad. Playing cleanly and well, Myers has covered himself with glory at New York University, risking his neck for a school that will now turn around and bench him because University of Georgia asks that the color line be drawn. What a shameful state of affairs this is. And I believe the colleges call it sportsmanship. New York University officials knew that Myers would be on the team when the game was arranged with University of Georgia. Just why, then, was the game arranged? I'll tell you. Because N. Y. U. felt then an intersectional game would be a great box-office attraction. Bench Myers so long as the money rolled through the turnstiles.

New York University, realizing that Myers, the colored star, was a member of the N. Y. U. eleven, had no reason to schedule a game with University of Georgia. There was no excuse for the N. Y. U. athletic office to search 1,000 miles from home for an opponent that would demand the expulsion of Myers. Myers himself may not resent the slur on his race. He is a modest youngster and possessed of more delicacy of feeling than the officials who brought about this acutely delicate situation. It is up to N. Y. U. to repudiate that slur on the Negro race!

Plans are being made to match them with practically every colored and white professional and amateur heavyweight team in the East and West. A squad consisting of Frank (Chink) Carter, Leo Hinds, Dick Seay, Eddie Corbin, Hy Monte, Tony Hicks, Blondy Carter, Bartlett, Buster Scott, Al Thompson, Zan Anderson, Eddie Marshall, Louis Garcia, Jimmy Kelly and numerous others, reported a few weeks for practice and are gradually rounding into a real machine-like combination. Al Brown, in making his debut on the court in the role of manager, is presenting to the public one of the neatest and finest equipped quintettes in the game and he will be behind his boys in every game. Games are being booked in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Harrisburg, Boston, Orange, Asbury Park, Washington, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Red Bank, Newark, Bridgeport, Hartford, and all towns in and around New York.

Moses Collegians in Great Game Against Henry Street Five The Henry Street Five, one of the best amateur teams in this metropolitan area, had to play like potential champs in order to eke out a six point victory of the Original Collegians State Champions. In addition, they needed the services of that mysterious young gent from Savage who pulled off shots from almost impossible angles of the court like "nobody's business." It marked the initial debut of both these sterling outfits, and if this game can be any indication, the championship of the State will be contested for by these two clever ensembles through a series of games on both courts. The final score was Collegians 40, Henry Street, 46. Another factor in the amateur race for the title will be the McKeon Association team of Hoboken, standing pocket billiardist, who played forty-ninth Street Academy last week. Read by Frank Taberski.

Foot HAMPTON vs. POLO GRO Bob Douglas' Renaissance Trample Fort Wayne Club Will Stack Up Against Recognized World's Court Champs in Meeting Cleveland, This Sunday Night The well oiled wheels of the Renaissance juggernaut rolled unceremoniously over the lithe forms of Benny Borgman's trained courteers to the tune of 50-35. There was action galore in the first twenty minutes of play, with each crack outfit assuming the lead only to lose it a second later by virtue of one brilliant basket after another. During the last six minutes of the initial half, the speedy passing of the "Rens" plus the deadly shooting of Jenkins, Ricks and Co., pulled the locals out to a rather commanding lead of eight points (25-17), at whistle time. Referee Chris (Dutch) Huiswoud came in for a great ayed against "Chickie" Seeback week. He is a challenger for the Photo by Gilchrist deal of baiting from players and fans, but the usually efficient little arbiter was calling them as he saw them, and was eminently fair in the extreme. With the resumption of play in the final session, the game began to take on the aspects of a rout. So rapidly did the regular lineup of Jenkins, Cooper, Slocum, Mayers, and Ricks pile up markers, Manager Douglas decided to send in the reserves.

Olympia Bouts Pete Nebo, popular Seminole Indian boxer from the Everglades of Florida, and a leading contender for the featherweight title, tackles Jose Martinez, of Spain, in the main ten-round bout at the Olympia A. C. in Harlem, Saturday night. Nebo ranks with Al Singer and Kid Chocolate as the leading crowd getter among the little fellows. Nebo had signed to fight the winner of the AI Singer and Qoung Zazzarino fight in the Garden, but when the time came for the match to be arranged it was discovered that Singer had not signed and had not even been asked to sign to fight Nebo for the Garden. So it seems as if the Seminole Indian will have to continue campaigning outside of Madison Square for some time to come. Godfrey Ban PHILADELPHIA.—"Frank Wiener, chairman of the State Boxing Commission, has at last gone too far. He has shown that he is discriminating against George Godfrey and that he is refusing him a chance to make a living in this state. He has usurped the rights of another member of the Commission and tries to run it himself. He is a Czar and I intend to see that his power is broken. I am going out to end this reign of intimidation and terror which is ruining boxing in Pennsylvania. Frank Wiener must go!" This statement of Jimmy Dougherty, manager of Godfrey and nationally known sportsman, followed the action of Wiener in refusing to sanction a fight between George and Jack Renault which local promoters had signed for. Wiener said that Renault was not a suitable opponent for Godfrey and this in spite of the fact that the Canadian has defeated George twice and holds a technical knockout decision over him.

Y. Academy of Business who for the past two weeks straight, held the leading position in the 1929 "Queen of the Classic" contest was deposed from her high and lofty perch by one of the young ladies who surprised the field by climbing into a tie last week Miss Gloria McCutcheon. Miss McCutcheon, who is being supported by the Manhattan Club, an amateur dramatic organization aspires some day to become an actress of note. At present she is taking a lead part in a production entitled "Murder In Harlem," by Ted Yates, the presentation of which will take place October 27th at 104 West 136th Street. THE MUSEUM OF ART AND COLLECTIONS EDNA BARNES, a graduate of Textile High School and resident of Cedar Manor, L. I., who has forged her way into a contending position for the "Queen of the Classic" title. She is interested in art and designing and is employed by a large Fifth Avenue establishment. Cedar Manor residents are backing her to the limit. Contestants' Standing Back in her old spot, but not too securely, is Miss Mae Swalls of Jack's Restaurant, who recovered the ground she lost last week and is getting ready to climb higher. Miss Edna Barnes, of Cedar Manor, L. I., tied for the leading position last week, is now in fourth place, but only a few thousand votes from the top. Severna Saunders, of New Rochelle, N. Y., Katherine Nolsette and Alma Weaver of La Meilleur Taujour Social Club, follow in order with a few thousand votes separating them. Right on the heels of the above mentioned trio and working hard is Miss Marie Griffith, Wadleigh High School student, who expects to graduate next January. Just to show others that it can be done, Miss Griffith entered the contest last week at which time she was placed last in the Contestants' Standing. Within one week by diligent effort she went from last to eighth place; and this despite the fact that there are forty-seven candidates striving for the fifteen prizes. Another young lady who deserves much credit for the manner in which she is attempting to win a prize is Miss W. Albirdie Martin of Cincinnati, O. Miss Martin, by agreement sought to have the rule regarding the cities and towns from which candidates would be accepted recinded. Although Cincinnati is a long way from Gotham, an exception was made for Miss Martin and subscription books were forwarded. For want of the correct address these books were returned three times. Undaunted Miss Martin kept Uncle Sam's mailmen delivering letters, telegrams and special deliveries. After the third attempt the subscription books were delivered and Miss Martin started to work last week. Already she has 27,000 votes to her credit (see standing). She is determined and says she is going to work hard to win one of the five major prizes, if not the first prize and the "Queen of the Classic" title for 1929. In Cincinnati as elsewhere her efforts will be watched with admiration. Through an unfortunate error almost one-half of the names of the active contestants were left off the Contestants' Standing, last week. This was unintentional and we hope those who were thus affected will understand that typographical and mechanical errors sometime happen in every newspaper office and cannot be avoided. Proper correction of those names are now listed in the Contestants' Standing to be found elsewhere in this issue. The contest, now in its fourth week has four weeks more to run. In that length of time anything can happen but it begins to look as though the final push forward for the first prize would be between the first ten leading candidates, with the first five having the edge. This calculation however does not take into consideration the possibility of some candidate lower down the list suddenly coming to life and polling a few hundred thousand votes. The most trying period of the contest will be during the third period which begins November 2 and ends November 24. During this period the contest offers 100,000 extra votes for five 5-year subscriptions or the equivalent of 350,000 votes. With this many votes a candidate might forge so far ahead that none could come within hailing distance. But this is a big job and few will be able to accomplish it.
