Dear Doctor Turner:
For the benefit of the people of
this section interested in the N. A.
A. c. p. and the convention now
assembled at Denver, would it be
too much trouble for you to con-
vey to that body the congratula-
tons and well wishes of its loyal
supporters resident in this section
of the Northwest, where, perhaps,
racial discrimination and race
prejudice are much lower than in
any other part of this country.
Notwithstanding this fact, we
are unselhshly in hearty accord
with the members of the race who
are affected and feel the sting of
civic and social oppression in the
South and elsewhere. The Bulle-
tin-Appeal, ever alert to champion
the cause of the race for justice
and right, desires to add its good
Offices to those of our citizens and
wish you Godspeed.
Your for the race,

TENNIS EXPERT
ESPOUSES fine
sPORTFOR RACE

Mr.. Edgar G.. Brown, former ma.
tional tennis champion, 1929
was a caller at the Bulletin-Appeal
Office last week. Mr.. Brown is tax
ing a trip from New York through
the West, with the idea of promoting
the scientific, modern, driving game
of tennis as played by the interna.
tionals and great American players
like Tilden and Richards, in the be.
lief that IL we can produce a De
Hart Hubbard we can also win the
tennis championship.
Mr.. Brown states that tennis is 9
game that can be played by anyone
from the age of Z to 70, and one OF
the best women players in the coun.
try is past so and has been playing
the game for 40 years. You car
start at any age, because head work
means a great deal In tennis as well
as physical ability. The great ad.
vantage of starting young is that II
is a game which you can never per
fect-one always has something else
yet to learn.
It is essentially a lady's and gen.
tleman's game. The idea is to win
but not at the expense of taking an
|ungentIemanly or unladylike advan-
tage of your opponent. 1t promotes
true sportsmanship. 1t inspires one
to keep physically fit, and conse-
quently to lead clean, wholesome
life, going to bed early, eating and
sleeping properly and thinking
properly.
Mr.. Brown stated that too much
interest has heretofore been taken In
the purely social side of tennis, with
not enough emphasis on the scienti-
fic aspect of the game. 1t is crafty
ing to note in the Northwest, the
great interior of our country, that
the leaders in the newspaper world
the Urban League and other public
spirited institutions and leaders OF
movements, are giving their time to
help the young people and others to
take up this very captivating game.
Nothing probably will do more to
promote the general racial develop
ment along physical. mental and spir-
itual lines. It keeps the men ply
sicaIly At and helps the ladies to re-
tain their youthful appearance.
There are some SO clubs among
our group throughout the United
States, all members of the American
Tennis Association, the National
body, and last year, at the National
in Baltimore, between three and
four thousand people came from all
parts of the country to see the finals
of the national championship. Only
week ago at Wilberforce Univer-
sity, a lad of II, who had played only
three or four years, won the Mid
western championship. with four or
FIVE of the leading colored players
present. Mr.. E. r. Simmons, the

(By Harvey E. Johnson)

Indianapolis, Ind, July 3.-The small

speed merchants of the race line UP for
the starters flag here at the State Fair
grounds August 9th in the running of
the second annual renewal of the Gold

dirt track championship auto classic in
which all drivers are members of this
group.
Announcement was made Monday by
the directors of the Indianapolis Colored
Speedway that only cars up to and in
cluding l83 cubic inches piston displace-
ment will be allowed to qualify for the
race. From the record performance of
the baby motors in the 500-mile event

Is National Race Event.
The Gold & Glory Sweepstakes is now
a recognized national auto racing event.
1t was instituted last year by Messrs.
Earl, Shillings, Rucker and Dunnington,
nationally known sportsmen, in an effort
to give the young men of the group the
opportunity to build and race cars of
their own, since our boys are practically
barred from all the big speed events
throughout. the country.
Their success in giving the boys their
one big chance is attested by the fact
that almost overnight such names as
Harmon, Buckner, Simmons, Carter,
Jeffries and Wallace were flashed into
Speedway records. The winners time
(Hannon's), was the fastest turned in
on dirt track. Another feature was
the fact that during the running of the
race not single spectator in the huge
crowd was injured nor did fatality
occur among the fifteen competing speed
demons.
The biggest feature of the event was
the fact that sports fans the country
over were quick to recognize the i'm
portance of the race as a splendid out
door entertainment 5000 persons from
all parts of the country joined with 1000
local and state auto fans in making up
crowd, the largest mixed, affair ever
witnessed in Indianapolis.
Anticipating the large number of out
of-town people who plan to make a
holiday of Saturday, August 9Th, to wit
ness the running of the race this year,
the directors have placed reserved seats
on sale at the headquarters, 401 " W..
Michigan Street. Requests for seats by
mail will be speedily handled.

The Over the Top p-Mechanicsville \. \. baseball series ended last Sun day when Umpire COderre forfeited the game in the eleventh inning to the Grosvenordales giving the bread makers 5 to 0 victory after the Mechanlcsville players failed to con- tlnue the game, refusing to play after Coderre. the Over the Top pitcher had been called out at second base by Umpire L'Heureux After max ing this decision Umpire L'Heureux ruled that Coderre had failed to touch first base on his two base drive, and as the Over the Top management saw the umplreis error in calling the run uer out. A change in L'HeureuX' $ decision would have been necessary and this the Mechanicsville players would not allow. with the result that the game was forfeited
 The game was without doubt the most interesting seen on the local grounds this season with spectacular plays by the two line-ups.
 Coderre's pItching and hitting featured for the Over the Top. the youngster getting four hits in five trips to the plate and also pitching one of his best games with the Me ehanicsville lineup getting but five hts of his delivery Blanchette his battery mate. also played a great game and his two doubles were both timely
 Metz" Vaudeville in center field for the Over the Top bakers gave 8 fine exhibition of his fielding skill and on two occasions saved the game by spectacular catches.

 For Mechanicsville. Kulick starred at short while Carey's catch in left center in the ninth inning brought the crowd to it's feet. as the play say ed the game for Mechanicsville John son pitched great game for Mechan- icsville.
