LOCAL GOLF PROMOTER
ST4
By THEODORE ROYSTON The local quintet is practicing strenuously with expectation to defeat the fast going Wendell Phillip’s Five of Chicago. Coach Shelburne is expecting, to close the season with another victory added to his list. The Attuckites will have a hand full to overcome the Phillipites, but the Shelburne men are ready to even things up. The Wendell Phillips team is Chica-
go’s champions.
Baseball On The Way
The pitchers and catchers for Attucks willow wielders have increased to about 50 according to Mr. Stewart’s report. Mr. Stewart is coaching the pitchers and catchers. He is expecting some good deliveries and receivers from this group. The boys are making promising efforts to qualify themselves for the team. Others of the squad
have not been called. Trackmen Have Meeting
Mr. Hooper's trackmen have not ^ had a chance to show their swift- j ness, but when the weather opens | up they are ready to go. About 150 I have answered the roll call a n d more are expected. Mr. Hooper i said instructions are given in the ! meetings to encourage the boys un-1 til they are ready to show their
speed.
Some of these men are veterans j from the schools and are expecting

Fighters Challenge Gene Tunney NEW YORK, March 30.—Paolino Uzudun, George Godfrey, Jack Delaney and Phil Scott filed challenges to Tunney with the New York state athletic commission last Friday. Paolino and Godfrey were placed on the official list, but Delaney was ignored and Scott was told to go out and get himself a
reputation.
Discovering at the last minute that Tunney’s boxing license had expired in New York state August 10. 1927, the commission has no jurisdiction over Tunney and, therefore cannot suspend him. Tunney may be placed on the ineligible list, but the commission deferred any action it may take on his refusal to name his opponent by March 22 until next Tues-

oOo New Boxer Is Being Developed B y Leonard's Trainer
ooo—
NEW YORK, March 30.—Harlem fans are beginning to sing the praises of a new idol. The aid is Eddie Guida and he is making a mark in the lightweight division under the tutelage of Mannie Seemon, who trained Benny Leonard
for all his bouts.
Guida has fought more tha fifty ! battles without suffering defeat. | All of them were preliminary contests of six rounds or less. H e recently turned twenty-one and now is eligible to compete in star bouts. He will get his first test in his new venture against Harry Scott in one of the eight-round 1 bouts at the Olympia A. C. in
i Harlem this week.
Guida, unlike the average boxer, got his start in the pro ring. He. has brfen boxing for two years and jumped into the money division because of financial circumstances at home. This prevented j him from getting his early socks in the A. A. U. or armory rings. He will meet a rugged opponent in his “star bout” debut as Scott scored three straight knockouts before losing a decision to Charley Rosenberg, two weeks ago.
Indigestion
Relieved
"I drive a car for hire,” says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsden, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can’t have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasioi&lly have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of
foy a long time. The druggist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the
price."
Black-Draught can be taken |n dry or made into a tea, as you | prefer. Either way, it costs R only one cent a dose.

EASTERN LEAGUE NOT FINISHED, PRESIDENT ISAAC NUTTER STATES
ROBERT “BOBBY” OBELTON “Bobby” Obleton is the original figure in the revival of interest in golf among local colored people. While quite a few local colored people have played golf for many years, tltey usually played elsewhere, rather than in the city. A little more than two years ago, Mr. Obelton was instrumental in arousing so much interest in golf that, it is now’ about to crystalize in a municipal course at Douglass park, Anw it is anticipated that the course will have to be changed from nine to eighteen holes to meet the demands of the public. Mr. Obelton announces he has opened a golf school at Trinity hall, where all persons may learn the fundamentals of the game. ,

THE POWER OF THE PRESS
It was indeed gratifying to see the minutes of the Board of Park Commissioners in the paper last Friday recount the fact that Mr. Foley, a member of the Board, urged the completion of the Golf Course at Douglass Park. And it was more pleasant to note that the board acted on Mr. Fo-
ley’s recommendation that the work be done immediately, j expected I was at the course today and noted that some twenty men best team are at work to put things in shape. The colored citizens de- nant
serve a course as good as any in the city and I do
lieve they will be satisfied until they have what they de- phasing
serve.
While discussing the golf course, it comes to my mind that some one will be needed to take care of it in the proper way. We hope the Park Board will not put politics first in this matter and give the position to some one who knows nothing about the care of a golf course, or to some one who says he knows all about a golf course, but will weigh the matter carefully and give the position to a man who can best look after the interest of the players. I understand that there are some applicants that hold favor with the board, who, if placed there, would soon cause the best people of the city
Morris R. Taylor 10 refrain from using the course. This, I think
should be avoided, and the place given to a
man who knows his job and has not the ill will of the major-
ity of players.
Again I think Mr. Foley should be commended for his stand on the matter and the colored citizens should extend to him a vote of thanks.
members present felt that Strong’s exit from the league is one of the best things that could have hap pened, as it is alleged he has blocked numerous progressive measures that were brought up fbr action In their opinion his loss will not be felt. Alex Pompez, who
ile entertained the idea the independent ranks..
to remain within
for a wh of joining
was pers taded
the league.
NEGRO SWIMMING MEETS I was indeed proud to read that a swimming meet has been held in the Howard university pool, between Howard U. and Baltimore. That is the one branch of athletics that we as a race are woefully ignorant of. There have been and are now a number of excellent swimmers of our race, but we have not reached the place where we cai\ demand entry into the big meets. I am sure it is not that old mythological wise crack, about our fear for cold water. But the strange thing is, our boys do not go in for that line of sport. Almost every Y. M. jC. A. in the country affords a swimming pool and the instructors are competent, but the interest is not there and is hard to engender. One of the best swimmers this city has produced, white or colored, was Howard Dangerfield. I heard a white man say “If that boy was white.he would have an excellent Chance to be the world’s champion diver.” Why the “if?” It is up to us to remove the if by getting more of our boys to take to the water for sport. Besides giving excellent exercise, it assures one of a thorough cleansing. Come on, fellows, let’s plunge in.

'BASKETBALL
The Muncie basketball team is claiming the colored championship of Indiana, by virtue of their having won the Midwest League title and having defeated Indianapolis and Richmond. While I admit they have one of the best and cleanest teams I have seen play this season, I do not think they should claim the championship of Indiana unless they enter the State Tournament which will be held at Tomlinson hall this week. If some twelve or fifteen teams are willing to come to Indianapolis and play through two hard days of basketball in order to find out who is best, I can see no reason why the Championship should be arbitrarily awarded to Muncie or any other team that does not desire to fight through the list of contenders to attain the crown. If the title was awarded like that, it would be an empty title and would mean nothing to the one who held it. Come on Muncie, if you think you are the best in the State (and I think you are) come on down to Indianapolis and play for
the title in our back yard. Girl Basketeers Trim Japs, 37 To 14

MOREHOUSE OPENS BASEBALL
SEASO
By F. C. GASSETT ATLANTA, Ga„ March 30. Morehouse opened the baseball season last Saturday afternoon with a win over the Morris Brown team by the score of 13 to 6. When every Morehouse follower was wondering about the pitching oroblem, since the Veteran Forbes was the only pitcher from la$t year, Coach Harvey opened his trick bag and pulled out a youngster by the name of Cavet. H i; s j choice proved to be a wise one because the youngster held the Morris Brown boys to six hits and '’anned six men. He had only orte hard inning and that was the fourth when Jones, -the lanky first baseman for Morris Brown, Mfted one of Cavet’s offerings over the fence with two on base. He settled down after this and wa;s never in danger during the balande
of the game.
The Morris Brown pitchers fell before the heavy artillery of tlije Morehouse batters in rapid succession. Coach Lytle sent in Wigging a Georgia State product, then the •’amous “Red” Bradly, and finally Murry. However, it didn’t seem f o be a very good day for the Morris Brown pitchers for every man on the Morehouse ’team hit safely, with the exception of Cat at and H. Mosely, Idlett and Thompson leading with three each with Joe Mosely following with two. Idlett accounted for a home nm and a three bagger while Joe Mosely landed one for three bases and Thompson connected for
two base hits.
For Morris Brown, the batting of Alexander, the former city league star, and Jones featured. Alexander accounted for two hitjs J
and Jones one, a home run.
The base running of Alexander and Thompson was spectaculaL each man stealing two out o f _ three attempts. Zj The fielding features were the ' 5 work of Forbes in the left field and j 5 Moselev on first for Morehouse. Score: R. H. El. Morehouse 101 412 04*—13 12 1 M B.
