st. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P,
should be supported by all, not be-
cause we like or dislike leader, but
because the person at the head is do
ing the work of the association
creditably. He stated that one OF
the outstanding accomplishments of
the st. Paul Branch was the forma-
ton of the st. Paul Urban League,
which with Mr.. e. A. Carter as exec

work with an outlook for still great
ed progress.

1900 miles that the sounds must
travel over the wire to the new 5000
Watt Sending Station of WCCO, the
completion of which has been rush

Secretary Of Theatrical Troupe
Writes Interesting Letter to

Miss Aurelia Wheeldin, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. l.. Wheeldin, 6S2
Carroll Ave-, who is playing with
Billy Pierce's Brown Skin vamps at
the Moulin Rouge in Paris, France.
is meeting with great success, judg-
ing from letter which was written
TO the theatrical editor of the Afro
American, published in Baltimore,
and which is printed below.
Miss Wheeldin Writes.
From distant Paris, Miss Aurelia
Wheeldin wrote the theatrical edi-
tor of the Afro-American one of the
most interesting and informative let
ters that 1t has been his good fortune
to receive in many moons.
1t isn't a secret, so here goes, the
little artist who is secretary of Billy
Pierce's Brown Skinned Vamps'' or
Tea For Two Girls" which latter
name adorns the head of the letter,
says:
1T is almost impossible to explain
how happy We are over here, with
so many historic places to visit and
so much to see of interest"
Revue Successful
Paris is superb. I am sure IL il
was not for the dear ones at home
1t would be difficult to encourage US
to return to the States. The revue
is wonderful success and our girls
are a great attraction over here. We
are constantly approached by the
atrical managers and agents to be
booked as soon as We finish our en-
gagement at the Moulin Rouge.
1T is needless to say that Mr..
Tommy Woods is great sensation
with his dancing. and gains we'll
merited applause for his efforts.
We, the girls, extend our best
wishes to YOU"
Yours truly
AURELIA WHEELDIN."
ihC thCatilCdl utpdI luleuC Repeats
that this is quite the most appre-
ciated letter that has been received
this season. The address of the
young artists is Moulin Rouge, SO
Boulevard De Clinchy. Their tele-
phone number, Marcadet 1927,
should anyone desire to phone.
Bye and bye. Miss Wheeldin said
that Billy Pierce said that we were
interested in them. Billy is right,
we have more interest in them than
Smith Brothers have cough drops.
THEATRICAL EDITOR.
Mr.. Woods is we'll known in the
Twin Cities, where he appeared last
October with the "Runnin' Wild
Company" His eccentric dancing
was one of the distinctive hits of the
show. During his engagement he
was a guest at Hotel Henrietta.

Mcmahon, manager of Georgia

fight that Brown is IA great little
fighter and that he never deliberate
ly f0ulcd a man i'll his life.
The best scrap of the evening was
the six round. semi final between
Battling Paul of Brawley and jim

taking the decision. Dolan had q
clear edge, taking the first two
rounds by wide margins, the second
two were fairly even, with Paul
stepping to the front in the. fifth
only to have Dolan come back as
good as ever in the closing number.
This scrap was also fought. under
Quccnsbury rules, and the fighters
were at times bewidcred by the
rules which they had to keep in
their heads.

fourth round and tried to make a
fight, but Pierce was too clever

tin for considerable comment during
the evening. There is no question
but what Ham::n has been in the
fighting game long enough to be
considered good referee, but he
spoiled his otherwise good work last
night by grandstanding and
playing to the crowd. His was the
the attitude of "big towncr' COM
ing down to the ''sticks'' to show
the hicks how they do it in the
big places. He watches his fight

positions at times that enabled him
to see the blows as they were, struck.

Imperial Valley press., 1925-08-08

What promised to be one Of the
best scraps ever seen in the valley,
ended dramatically and disappoint-
ingly to a large crowd of fans, when
Referee Hamlin last uight stopped
the ten round main event between
George Goodrich of San Diego and
Joe Brown of Bellflower hi thc third
round, disqualifying Brown for foul
ing and giving the fight to Good
rich.
The referee had cautioned both
boys for hitting low, Brown having
been warned twice. When, accord
ing to the referee, he hit Goodrich
low the third time, in accordance
with the rules of the state boxing
commission there was nothing Ham
lin could do but disqualify him.
Immediately there was an uproar
from the crowd, which was not end
ed for the greater part of All hour,
as the fans slowly drifted from the
arena to gather in little groups out
side and discuss the decision aud
all else pertaining to the night s
entertainment. As there were about
thousand people at the arena,
there are probably a thousand odd
versions Of the affair, with each
spectator believing his to ebc the
right one.
While Hamlin gave the decision
to Goodrich, the greater part of the
crowd did not agree with him,
which is neither here nor there, as
the referees S word is law, and there
never has been an umpirc or II ref,
cree, who could please everybody

allowed to do IN the' three rounds

guestionably being "out in front

ate fights conducted under these
rules. Holding and hitting with one
hand free are both forbidden, and
the fighters are to protect them
selves at all times.
Had the fight gone on, Brown
might have got his man. A major

would, but it would have been Il
