COLORED BOXERS mAhE THEIR
MARK IN ENGLISH RING

New York, March 27-hrough John
P. Fletcher, of the Society of Friends
in London, the color bar against Ne
gro boxers has been lifted in England.
Mr.. Fletcher, who is Secretary of the
Joint Council to promote understand
ing between white and colored people
in Great Britain, sends the N. A. A.
G. P. clippings concerning two of the
outstanding colored boxers there.
One of these Negro boxers, Larry
Gains, on March ~, decisively defeat
ed Charlie Smith OF Deptford, and &C.
cording to Clyde Foster, London re
ports writer, Gains is "well ahead of
the British heavyweights of today,
Phil Scott expected-perhaps."
The contest was under the auspices
OF the National Sporting Club. Gains,
who is described as the cooper
statue", out-geqeraled his white op
ponent, feinting and lodging, only to
hammer the white boxer with merciless
blows to the ribs, the chin and head.
At the conclusion the white boxer
sinks under the attack of "the master
boxer who has all the science Of the
game at his command"
On March II, in the Daily Express,
1t was announced hat Al Brown, color
ed boxer from Panama, would meet a
well known British boxer, Teddy
Baldock at some time and place to be
announced later. OF Brown, A Lon
don sports writer says, "BaIdock will
have to be at his top to beat Brown,
who is uncannily clever. To people
used to the sober English style his
prancing round the ring the ring may
appear clownish or just flashy, yet it
not easy to hit him while he is doing
this fancy stuff. Billy Farrell, the
northern boxer, who met him at Man
chseter last Monday quickly discovered
this. Farrell also found that Brown
hit exceedingly hard"

Sufferers want results, not vague promises
and claims, and Konjola-the medicine with
80 ingredients, of which % are the juices OF
roots and herbs-gives results, even where
ali else tried has failed. Take, for example,
the experience of Richmond citizen, Mr.. j.:
H. Taylor, 2126 Seldom street. Is it any
wonder that he thinks Konjola is the
greatest medicine in the world? Ask your

Gold Star Mothers and Widows will
be- sent to Europe on separate steam
ships. The n. A. A. c. P. is urging
the eligible Gold Star Mothers to de-
cline to 60 and to repudiate the trip.
The situation is made the subject OF
an extensive interview in yesterday
afternoons WORLD TELEGRAM,
with Walter White, Secretary of the
n. A. A. c. P. The interview, written
by Mary Bennett, quotes Mr.. White as
follows:
Segregation of Negro Gold star
mothers and widows on pilrimage OF
this nature is gratuitous insult to the
colored race. 1t is not even fair to the
white mothers. Surely there must be
some of them who are free from race
prejudice.
LAS for the Accommodations being
equally good, last year the white con-
tmgents travelled first class on fine
liners such as the President Harding
and the George Washington. The cabin
ships chosen for the Negro women
were clean, no doubt, but they were
smaller and decidedly inferior.
Last year more than 100 Negro
women were eligible to make the trip.
Only fifty-five of them went; fifty
six declined. This year $40 are eli
gible, of whom 120 have made registra'
tons. We are writing to them all in
the hope that when the matter is put
to them in it's proper light they will
repudiae the trip"

THE cork business is looking up. During 1929
