The feature affair, limited to
twelve rounds, was fitting climax
to such boxing matinee. DarneIlle
stepped into the ring weighing 1S3
pounds and his opponent was an
nounced as a 210pounder. And La
Blanche looked it, too. Most of his
avoirdupois appeared to be around
the waist and in the feet.
parneille was slow, and the Aus
tralian was all but nailed to the can
vas They SPARED about for a few
seconds before Darneille sent in a
dainty left jab to LaBlanche's chin.
The latter countered with hook
that brushed the ex-cop's nose, and
after that the man kept their dis
tance most of the first minute.
With the crowd crying for action,
Darneille attempted to close with
his opponent and started to employ
his right, which hitherto seemingly
was paralyzed. He finally poked it
into LaBlanche's middle and the
flabby Australian stepped back, then
dropped gently to the floor There
he turned on his face and let Referee
Craig toll the dismal ten.
Ahearn Has 1t Easy.
In, a semi-fnal, announced as a
ten-round affair, Dick Burgess, Bal
timore featherweight, was no match
for Goldie Ahearn, the local scrap

in the first round and was able to
easily defend himself when the Bal
timoreRn rushed blindly in, the sec

the jaw in the third and Topped.

In his bout with John L. Smith of
Georgetown. Young Tom Sharkey of
Baltimore got all he wanted and quit
cold in the third session. Without
being hit, Sharkey dropped to his
knees, took the count. then jumped
TO his feet and walked briskIy out
of the ring. His seconds did not take
the trouble to accompany him.
Jack Skinner of Northeast Wash
ington and Jack White of Baltimore,
4 pair of featherweights who APP
peared in the first preliminary were
the only boxers who went the sched-
uled limit. They stepped through
two rounds and staggered through
two more. with Skinner getting the
decision over the well punished, but
gama Baltimorean, who did, not
know how to box.
Battle Royal n FHvver.
A battle royal, so called. opened the
show. 1t was neither royal nor a
battle. Three of the dusky glove
men teamed against Bert Green, erst-
while preliminary boxer hereabout,
for the first two rounds. but two of
them were ordered out of the ring
after the third session. Then Green
was given the call over a saffron

Church followed by one equally 50 on

lSt church Of which Rev. j. Ana:.w
Bowler. ID. d., is pastor
Among other timely remarks, d..
Bagnall stressed the fact that this is
our country. just rs truly as it is the
white mans, by right OF birth, sacri-
1ico. labor and blood she'd He has fir
ured in every war of this country,
save that with Mexico, from the Revo
luton TO the World War.
He quoted specific instances Of in
justice and lynchings, which have
been perpetratcd not only in the south
land but in Massachusetts which
boasts OF its culture and democracy,
and in the West, where one "breathes
free air" Further on, DR.. Bagnall
stated that the N. A. a. G. p. is not
radical. 1t is merely aiming to obtain
justice and to ameliOratc conditions
as they now exist. 1t does this by map
ping out a wise program, which il
seeks to carry out by employing eff
cicnt, sclf-sacrificing individuals. 1t
keeps an accurate account OF all eE-
penditureS, has its books audited by
persons not connected with the organi
Zation, and leaves these books open
Tor public inspection. 1t was stated
that the n. A. 4. e. p. accomplished
more with less expenditure last year,
than any other charitable organiza-
ton, white or black
The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill has
been successful thus far because Of
the untiring, diplomatic work Of the
Assoc ation'S Executive Secretary,
james Weldon Johnson who is atill
working on its passage. Further
speaking Of the accomplishments Of
the Association. Dir. Bagnall said that
the Williams Peionagc Case, in Jasper
Count, Georgia. was unearthed
through the work Of this organizati ion
when investigating another case.
The value Of organization was also
brought out. In spite Of the fact that
there are not more Jews in the worlA
than there are Negroes in the United
States. they are Il much greater pow
er because Of thoir organization. In
order for the individuals work to he
effective, it must be organized. Thus
the work of the N. A. A. G. p. will con
proportion to the Negroes realization
of the worth Of organization.

BOMB FOUND IN COAL
IN C0L0RED FACTORY

Con: idcrab1c cXc;temcnt was caused
Saturday in the manufacturing as
tr'ct of New York by the finding OF
u bomb in the coal delivered to the
manufacturing plant of tho Pace PhoE
ograph Corporation. makers Of Black
Swan Records. at Meadow and Creek
Streets. Long Island City. The bomb
was of the shrapnc, type heavily LOAD
ed and capped and capable of blowing
up the entire plant. The fireman, dis
covered the bomb after it was in his
shovel and just as Ire was about IL
plunge it into the furnace. A moment
later and there would have been an e\
plosion that would have wrecked the
boilers and damaged the plant, probab
ly killing or injuring the twenty-five
employees working there.
In vestigation was made by Tia,
bomb squads of the Police Department
and the Fire Department. Just where
the bomb came from could not be as
certaincd as the Pace Company uses
nearly thirty tons of coal per month
and deliveries from two coal cOnIpu-
Mos are being made almost daily, and
Caclr had just delivered several tons of
coal.
1t is presumed that the bomb was
put into the coal by someone connect
ell with the coal miners strike. The
officials Of the Company were alarmed
at first lest it were the work of com
pctitors, who were seeking to destroy
their business in Black Swan Records
