Labor Athletes Fight
Race Discrimination;
Want Negroes at Meet

Far from restricting Negro ath-
letes in it's athletic meets or its gen
eral program, the Labor Sports
Union, workers sport organiza-
ton, is making special efforts to Sc
cure entries from Negro sport clubs
for it's Third National Track and
Field Meet at the Flushing Memorial
Field, Flushing, L. l., August "a
and %. Interested in promoting
athletic activities among the work
ers, the union has now ninety clubs
affiliated with a total membership
of over seven thousand.
In it's principles is a clause to the
effect that "The Labor Sports
Union is opposed to race discrimin-
alton and will fight it on the sports
and social field" 1t can cite many
instances that illustrate the point.
Last year Arthur Kirton, a well
known New York Negro athlete won
the 100 and 200 yard dashes at the
National Meet. After the meet he
said he was never treated so well
in any of the meets he has been in
ito that date.
The Labor Sports Union invites
all Negro athletes to take part in
the meet and invites Negro clubs to
join. The Third National Conven-
ton of the L. S. U. will be held in
New York on August 81, %, and
%. Sport clubs are asked to elect
delegates to this convention.

condemning bitterly the armed at

workers of Gastonia, N. G. Senator
Borah, Senator, LaFollette, the

protest said, in part: "The aggres-
sion of the police, acting on the in
stigation of the manufacturers,
against the workers of the textile
mills, including women and chill
dren, exceeds in brutality even the
methods of fascism that are being
used in Italy, the Balkans and other
European countries to throttle the
labor movement and terrorize the
workers.
"The textile workers have been
thrown into prison and tortured and
even threatened with lynching. All
possible legal measures must be
taken at once for the protection of
the imprisoned strikers who today

His rise from the New York East Side
to governor and to the candidacy for
President has been one of those episodes
that promote the faith of Americans in
their form of government "The Happy
Warrior" he has shown himself, both in
victory and defeat. His defeat for the

after he had reused millions of people

soured an ordinary candidate. But Gov.
Smith is good loser. and has the
courage to take defeat with smile.
Mr.. Smith has turned over the gov

Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of his own
stanchest adherents. The fact that
Gov. Roosevelt is to take the reins of
government must be no small satisfac-
ton to the retiring governor. Mr..
Smiths pride has been in the admins

of many of his political opponents by
the mastery way in which he grasped

Buffalo Herd Grows

his own one-yard line by a member of
his team. From the shadow Of the
California goal posts Georgia Tech
blocked punt and then went over for
the touchdown that won the game. The
score was made possible by Riegels'
confusion From scrimmage in mid
field Riegels picked up Georgia Tech
tumble and, instead of carrying the ball
toward the southern goal, reversed and
ran it toward his own goal.
Riegels confusion itself Is under
standable. In the furry and welter OF
line conflict between high-strung young
men who feel their responsibility-and
in this case the mythical national
championship was involved-it is not
unusual for man to be so battered
and bruised that he temporarily loses
his sense of direction and plays like
an automaton Undoubtedly this is
what happened to Riegels. But how
two teammates-three men in all-can
have had the same loss of directive
sense and provided interference for
him as he raced toward his own goal
line is hard to understand.
Incidents similar to that which made
Riegels the goat" of the game yester-
day have happened often on the foot
ball field Veteran coaches know that
men may be kicked on the head or be
so battered early in a game that they
perform their tasks in a daze and only
go through the game on training and
experience. Foot ball history records
many instances of exactly the same
character.
That the incident happened in a
game of such Importance is the hardest
of hard luck-for Riegels. Doubtless
California University's captain elect
feels his foot ball disgrace far more
keenly than any one else. And doubt
less he cannot explain his loss of di-
rection. On investigation it will prob
ably be found that Riegels' sustained an
injury just prior to his mistake that
knocked him, in popular parlance,
"goofy," and that he was temporarily
unable to discern the difference be-
tween the goal posts. He should not
be too severely criticized.
