60RILLA JONES STOPS GRAVE, FAST BATTLE

NEW YORK, Feb. 5—(ANP) — In their fourth successive meeting Gorilla Jones, of Akron, O., won by a knockout over Izzy Grove of the Bronx, in tAe seventh round of a scheduled ten-round fight at the St. Nicholas Sporting club, Monday evening. Fully three thousand fight fans saw the battle which Grove tried vainly to turn in over the foul route. In the first round. Grove had the better of the going, but from that time on, Mr. gorilla was master of the situation. He had Grove on the canvas three times and each time, the bell saved the Bronx battler the ignominy of a knockout. However, in the seventh round, after Grove had loudly cried foul on two occasions, the mighty Goriila man of Aaron succeeded in putting Mr. Grove in his place —on the floor— where the referee counted Grove out. ’ .. In the sixth round Grove claimed foul, but the referee looked to the judges Tor the decision. They refused to grant Grove’s claim and the fight went on. Then in the seventh, stiff bjows from the left to the stomach caused Izzy to set up another howl. He writhed on the floor looking up appealingly at the referee, but that genrteman could not. see the foul, so as Grove was forced to arise and continue, the fight, that is- until such time Gorillas’ mighty left found the pit of Grove’s stomach and a crushing right to the jaw out the snore on Grove’s ambitions.

(ANP)—

Fight fans were treated to a spectacnlar display , Saturday night at the Olympia club when little Black BUI, one of the important factors In the flyweight elimination of the garden, put on a hectic bout with Routis Parra of Ghill. It was the fourth time these scrappers have met, Parra declaring he must win , over Bill. But once they were in the ring, Saturday, things changed. , In the first round, it was all Black . BiU, but during the round, Para made the mistake of saying something nasty in Spanish to his opponent. When the bell rang ending the round neihter contestant c^sed but kept right on fighting and

it wasn’t any boxing match eith- „ er. It took the combined efforts of Jeffries, g. J 2

the referee and the seconds to separate the two midgets. The fans were standing on their chairs cheering wildly. Again in the third rohnd, this happened and at the end of the battle, the pair was still busy swapping punches in the center of the ring. Spectators were loathe to leave at the end of the fight so much interest had been aroused. It is announced that Black

Bill will fight at the club again Sat-

urday night, his opponent not having been selected as yet.

WILBERFORCE, O.. Feb. 6.— Wilberforce university opened its inter-collegiate basketball season with a 34-24 win over Bluefield institute, Monday night in Beacom gym. The Blues were good but defease was not good “enough to break up the Wilberforce passing combination that kept feeding the ball to Gibbs, who dropped eight baskets in almost as many tries. The game was an almost all-Gibbs affair, tho if Wilberforce had made as many baskets as were tried Lucas and Jackson would have been up in class. The Blues rushing broke up many a passing combination that would have resulted in a basket. The Blues showed a good pasa-. ing combination but they all/lacked a shooting eye, Horton,, Vhe high point man making only f^ree shots. ’Ttooughout the seqcjnd half the game was fast an# exciting, the ball beiTfe tejSIlEHtfi continuous play from 3 to 5 nriittite periods. Gibbs was high point man, scoring exactly one half of Wilberforce’s 34 .points, 17; Horton dropped three baskets for Bluefield. Out of 5 free throws, Wilberforce made 2; Bluefield made 6 out of

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—(ANP)— With the annual Metropolitan senior Amateur A. U. championships, scheduled for a decision at the Thirteenth regiment armory i n Brooklyn on February 15, under the auspices of the Crescent Athletic club, there is every indication that the games will be a suc-

cess.

Invitations have been extended to many title holders to defend their laurels, one going to Phil Edwards. Considering that Edwards who had so much to do with N. Y. U. winning the intercollegiate crown last year, will not be required to keep in condition for the coming intercollegiates, it is quite likely that the; stellar runner will be ready to defend his 1,000 yard championship. # If he does, and should Harold Butbill elect to enter the race, fans will have plenty of action for their money. Edwards, after two years of strenuous competition, is one of the greatest runners i n America. Provided he continues to train under the New York university coaches, Emil Von Elling and Harry Coates, he will probably turn in best season of indoor running.

In two years, he has from an unknown star. —•

fered him by the old timers when to lose a basketball game has the same significance as laughing out in the middle of a sermon will not appreciate (his novel offering this clashing -of old time basketball with the new type of basketball player. He can’t conceive the enormous possibilities in such a show. We call the men of 1918 “old,” but we only mean as basketball players not as men for they have only reached the point in most cases where they are really men and, like the poem, the stream of sporting blood still runs on in their veins. This to me, seems like a home-coming at the “Y,” and if you want to be entertained, I believe that on next Friday night you will get your desires. SUNDAY SCHOOL BASKETBALL LEAGUE GAMES Week Of January 28th— At the managers’ meeting, Monday night, plans for the Sunday School tourney to be held March 7-8, were completed. Each Sunday school is responsible for 15 tickets at 35c to be sold before March 3rd. Trophies for the two division winners and the tourney winners are on display in the lobby. Special passes will accompany the tourney and each manager will be given ten for his team.

MISS ELLIS SAYS ACTORS ARE NOT LOSING FAVOR

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 6.— (ANP)—Negro actors and actresses, composers, and, authors are not losing favor with white audiences and leading producers are not attempting to discriminate against the race in the view of Miss Evelyn Ellis,,recognized as one of the leading Negro actresses of the country. “The report that the RadioKeith Orpheum and associate theatrical circles are dropping Negro acts and actors oh the ground they are losing favor as major attractions, is merely bunk,” said Miss Ellis, who is appearing here at the Broad St. theatre in “Porgy,” a Negroid dramatic study that has been ranked high by dramatic critics. “ The real fact is,” she continued, “that at least four leading Broadway producers are tumbling over themselves to obtain recognized Negro talent for their spring productions. Each of these producers is after the same group, and in the resultant financial tangle, this propaganda is natural. “An example of the recognition of the Negro as a dramatic artist and as such the one to portray the Negro character,, is the announcement of Ethel Barrymore that she will not portray the leading role of “Scarlet Sister Mary,” feeling a capable Negro actress could do it

Sunset Cafe Closes

CHICAGO. Feb. 6. — (ANP) — Some idea 6f the hardness of the times, so far as this city is concerned, may be gleaned from the fact that the old Sunset cafe, for nearly ten years a bright spot in the night life of the Southside, has been forced to close its doors. Cabaret crowds have been steadily dwindling for several years. First the Dreamland, then the Llantation, then the Entertainers, now the Sunset. One after another they have grown dark.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6..—(ANP)— Rumor has it that the King of the New York underworld is responsible for the wrecking and closing of the new Plantation club.

A chef was sent down, as were the doorman, cashier and even some entertainers with the understanding that a thirty-three and a third per cent split on the revenues was to be j made with the proprietor of the .

Holstein is satisfied with thejplaceand says that it will be one of the "real places ” in Harlem, shortly.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6—(ANP) —That colored patrons are not wanted in most of the night clubs of Harlem is flatly stated by the colored doormen of those places. Without diplomacy, they refuse to admit the majority of colored- patrons when the whites from downtown roll up. This is due, they claim to the inability of the colored patrons to pay the steep prices on the bill.. Smalls’ paradise Is one of the few places where color-
