One city that l have longed to visit
was New Orleans, which is always as
sociated with tasty cooking and pref
ty creole girls. Well my ambitions
along that line are now null and void
The cracker like attitude of the city
officials and civic organizations of the
Mardi Gras town in regards to the
participation of colored athletes in the
National A. A. u. games which were
scheduled to be held there in July dis
gusts and nauseates fair minded folks
who are not afflicted with colorphobia
The A. A. U. officials are to be
commended on their no discrimination
on account of color attitude. It's a
wonder some of our southern white
folk don't object to the brethren wear
ing white shirts or dresses. The re-
ply of Frederick RUBEN, an A. A. U.
official, in answer to New Orleans re-
fusal to hold the meet was a classic
and bitter pill to the Negro batter
who swears the whole colored race
will rebel because a colored lad wins
100 yd. dash or Tiger Flowers
spanks Jock Malone or vice versa.
Some group of baseball fans in
these two towns ought to get together
and invite some of the Negro national

ing, caused by lacerated foot. Per-
kins began his career with horses as
a jockey, but soon became too heavy
After the death of an older brother
Frank, he succeeded him as trainer
of race horses. Another brother
"Soup" Perkins, won the Kentucky
Derby, number of years ago. Will
liam Perkins trained horses for many
Of the leading horse owners in the
country and his opinion was always
sought by the followers of the racing
game. In the death of Moore and
Perkins the racing game loses two Of
its greatest followers.
The feat Of Harry Duell, the veteran
long distance runner, who few days
ago, broke the 63-mile- and 67-mile
records in a successful attempt to
run 80 miles, recalls to our memory
how he was defeated by Stephen
Springer in a 10-mile race around
Lake Harriet.
This race was sponsored by The
Minneapolis Daily News about 6 years
ago. There were many contestants
and the thousands who witnessed the
race were thrilled at the final lap
when Duell and Springer-the only
Negro entered fought for supremacy.
Springer's speed and stamina brought
him in first, with Duell second in one
of the most gruelling contests ever
seen, in the history of long distance
running in the Twin Cities.
A great victory was gained by the
colored amateur athlete when the
National Amateur Athletic Union re-
fused to drop Negro contestants to
satisfy southern sponsors Of the con-
tests, which were originally to be held
in New Orleans. AS result of the
attitude of the crackers, the A. A. u.
will call the championship committee
together to award the championships
to another city. Mr.. Frederick W..
Ruben, secretary of the A. A. u,
had the following to say: "A national
and patriotic body has no right to bar
any American from its games because
of race or creed. It is obviously un-
fair to call upon Negro athlete to
represent America and win high hon.
ors in Olympic competition and later
deny them the right to compete in
their own national championships.
The championships this year are of
added Importance in view of the
Olympic games of 1928. l am almost
certain that Cecil Cooke, brilliant

places. The probability of racial
trouble has been overestimated. The
games were held in New Orleans Ii
years ago, in jamestown, Va, in 1906
and in Baltimore, Md, in 1924, and
at no time was there indication OF
trouble. We feel that the A. A. U.
should aid and encourage all athletes
regardless of race or creed"
Out on the Pacific coast, the three
horsemen-Baby Joe Cans, Young
Harry Wills and Young Jack Thomp-
son, are going good in the fstic pas
time. The three fighters have been
winning consistently. We would like
to have them come east.
The versatile athlete, Billy Free
man, who has won fame in football,
baseball and basketball, will in the
future devote his time to winning new
laurels in boxing. Freeman who
fought as an amateur two years ago is
working out daily at the Rose Room
gymnasium, St. Paul, where he is be-
ing taught the finer points of the
game. The fstic colony at the Rose
Room predict a great future for him
in the light heavyweight division. He
is 10 years old and is under the man
agement of Hamlet "Kid" Rowe.

All the thinkers are not dead yet.
For years the favoritez dodge of
champions when ducking tough
celored opponent has been the draw
ing Of the color line That has been
the style since the days of John L..
Later on, however, the colored con-
tender has been given the run around
and sometimes has been given silent
treatment.
Peter Jackson was held at bay with
the colored line. Jack Johnson was
kept off by the run around and the
color line, but finally he broke
through.
He was the only colored heavy
weight champion the world has SEEN
In Australia today, George Cook is
the titleholder in the heavy division.
He won his honors in tough battle
from "Tiger" Jack Payne, colored
American fighter.

pair for return bout down in Sydney

TAKE SMALL PARCELS
Is MERCHANTS PLEA
Purchasers Urged to Garry Little
Bundles With Them During
Holiday Season.

An appeal to holiday shoppers to
carry small-size purchases home, in
stead of asking that they be delivered,
in order to relieve delays in Christmas
deliveries resulting from congestion,
was made today by local business
establishments through the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa.
ton.
Washington stores this year are
experiencing the heaviest volume of
early Christmas shopping in their his
tory" it is pointed out by Edward D.
Shaw. secretary of the merchants
organization. AS a result store or.
ganizations are being taxed to their
capacity. Mistakes in deliveries,
which in normal season can be
guarded against, are much more
likely to occur during a rush such
as we are now experiencing in this
city.
This temporary condition can be
materially improved if our citizens
generally will carry with them the
smaller packages. It's the helpful
and sensible thing to do in this
emergency. It not only aids the mer-
chant, but it insures the shopper
against the mistakes and delays which
must necessarily occur where the
delivery systems of our stores are
SO tremendously overburdened"
Mr.. Shaw said that many shoppers
had already recognized this necessity,
and We're helping very materially.
