VATE ENDORSEMENTS and that
the committee would be called to-
gether to act on all business matters
in the future. 1t was at this time
that Mr.. Long told me that such
RESOLUTIONS HAD BEEN PASS
ED by the committee and that they
would be lived up TO in the future.
To further back my statement in
reference to the resolution govern
ing endorsements l here furnish
you with an affidavit from Mr.. B. C.
Crawford which speaks for itself.
Here is what Mr.. Crawford swears
to:
TN view of the fact that w. F.
Long, Jr, chairman of the Republi-
can Executive Committee of Rich
mond county, and other members of
the said Committee, have published
a statement that no agreement had
been made by the said Committee
relative to the individual signing of
endorsements, wish to make the
following sworn statement, which
shows that not only Mr.. Long him
self, but three other members of the
Executive Committee stated to me
that my petition for postmaster at
Rockingham could not be signed by
them because they had agreed to
withhold such signatures and act on
all endorsements in a regular or call
meeting of the Committee.

/, B. c. Crawford, being sworn, do
assert that went to see w. F. Long,
Jr., w. A. Mcdonald (B,D.), W. V.
Brown, and J. M. Dockery and asked
these members of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee to sign my petition
for Rockingham postoffice Each of
them replied that they had decided
in meeting NOT TO SIGN ANY
ENDORSEMENTS other than in an
open meeting, and therefore could
not sign my petition. | further
assert that | made this request of
Mr.. Long on three different occasions,
and he made. the same reply each
time that he could not sign because
they had made made agreement not
to sign. made this request of Mr..
Mcdonald and Mr.. Brown twice each
and received the same reply both
times.
(Signed) B. c. Crawford.

have anything to do with the edito
rial in the Post-Dispatch to which
Mr. Long referred in his recent at

HARRY Wills
RING RECORD =.
NOT So GOOD
Negro Only Did to Fred Fulton
What Score Of Others
Had Done.

Talk that Harry willis would win
the championship were Jack Demp-
sey to give him q match is the Wild
est speculation. Wills has made a
good record In the ring, but on con-
sulting II you would never get the
idea that he was invincible. 1t IL
not nearly 80 good as Dempsey's.
Wills 10 thirty years old. Dempsey
Is four years his Junior. The ne.
gro's chief claim to fame was his
Knockout victory over Fred Fulton
In three rounds two years ago.
But an army of scrappers have prt
Fulton away. Dempsey did 1T In one
round. Even Carl Morris twice
stopped Fred. Al" Palzer finished
Fred In four rounds. Harry Tate
also stopped the tall heavyweight
with the comedy egg above his
shoulders. Billy Miske knocked out
Fulton only the other day; so too
much must not be placed in Wills
conquest over the plasterer.
Wills has been twice knocked out
by old Sam Langford. The ancient
Sam McVea also beat him. Battling
Jim johnson also stopped him in four
rounds.
Any charge that Dempsey Is avoid.
ing match with Wills Is not found.
cd on fact In the first place, boilts
between white and colored scrappers
are prohibited in more than half the
places where boxing Is tolerated.
Dempsey has always insisted that
he would sign articles to fight Wills
any time a promoter came forward
with q legitimate offer. So FAR no
reliable promoter has made any Sc.
rfous effort to match willis ard
Dempsey, for the reason that. he In
afraid no governor would permit the
scrap being staged.
This Is not entering into the merits
% the case, but a plain statement
Of the obstacles in the way of Amcri.
ca. sleading white and leading colored
heavyweight ever getting together
in the ring. - E-t
As a matter Of tact, obstacles are
almost anybody. The governor of
Indiana would not permit Jack to
fight X. o. Brennan, q white man..
More stress is put on heavyweight
bouts than on fights in the lighter
division, and II never. fails, to arouse
opposition Of the unco guild.
Dempsey towers 30 high in the
heavyweight division that he Is ac-
tually losing money because Of the
skill and power he wields. y.
He may have to spend the remain.
der Of his fighting days in England
or on the continent, where there is
little or no hostility against the sport
that Doctor Samuel johnson eulo-
gized In his tour OF the Hebrides.

MACK At LAST
HASNUCLEUSOF
BASEBALL TEAM
Sound Constructive Develop
ment of As May Make
) Trouble in Future.

Connie Mack has made several
actual gains. this year; not merely
In the winning OF games. but in
the sounder constructive process of
building. a ball club that may do
something in the future.
His most distinct step forward
has been the development Of
Chick" Galloway into a shortstop,
who. right now. is second to none
In the American League. Next
might be mentioned Bling" Miller;
then Joe Hauser-both of whom are
natural born hitters. ~ p
"Tilly" Walker can hardly be
counted in the reckoning, for at
best he can hardly expect more than
two or three more years In fast
company. DOC" Johnston is
through, and will be released at the
end of the year. So, in all prob
ability. will "Pep" Young.
II Mack can stretch out that lean
hand Of his, and annex q good third
baseman and pitcher or two. he
won't need to fear the shadows of
the second division next summer.

Everett Scott, the shortstop Of the
Yankees, has his own, ideas on base

for. Scotty never talks to hear him
self talk. <'..r,,....' 49,.
''The fight for the pennant this
season probably will continue right
to the end of the season." he says.
That is, the Yankees will have to
battle to the last week unless the
unforeseen happens. We have gone
like house on fire, but the Browns
have stepped along with us. neasur'
ing stride for stride, Now that mny
keep up. although / do not see why
II should.
I'VE have certain. advantages over
the st. Louis club. but they are good
enough to beat the rest of the league
and that Is the answer TO II all. We
can beat them; have beaten them,
but they beat the others. .'
"The Browns have taken the sea
sons series from every club in the
league except the Yankees. There
fore we can't say that they have been
lucky. They just went right out and
played good ball. OH

Anzac Tennis Star
Has Real Ideal
In Sport

You can circumnavigate the
Rand-McNally in the quest |;
you can dig down into the
musty past, but the chances
are that you won't find a
better sportsman than Gerald
Patterson, the Australian ten
mis- star.
Gerald won the worlds
championship with the racquet
at Wimbledon this summer, but
he didn't need to have any
one tell him that he grabbed
Z 1t because the previous years
titleholder, Bill Tilden, did
not 60 over the bounding
waves to defend his crown.
Winning . championship that
way didn't appeal to Patter-
son. II he could not beat
Tilden he did snot want to
pretend that he was the cham
pion. So, when he came to
the United States for the
Davis Cup matches, he let it
be known that he would play
Tilden for the championship
Of the, globe.
$ It's too bad that some of
our, professional champions"
cannot take q lesson in sports

son. 81.
