Fight and Smile

For almost four centuries the col
ored people in America have been
forced to endure every form of per-
secution and suffering, both mental
and physical. These darts he has
borne with a fortitude which has
amazed the whole civilized world.
Little did his prosecutors think they
were developing in race of people
a heritable trait that would make
them survive and grow until they
would become a power in the land
and the world. AS one old Amer
lean the colored man has laughed and
multiplied The colored mans per-
secutors had hoped to so stifle and
crush him that he would pass out of
the picture as group in American
life. In this, he has failed. While
it has worked to give the colored
man an inferiority complex that acts
as a handicap, it has also given the
Nordic an exaggerated superiority
complex which is now beginning 20
work his undoing.
During the present depression the
colored man has been the hardest hit
and was hit first and will feel the
effects longer than any other group
in America, yet he is taking it with
~raco which his white brothers can
not. While bankers are committing
suicide, great industrialists are aging
and dying from heart failure and
other Nordic leaders are folding up
their tents and quitting the field Of
struggle beaten and without hope.
Yet the man of color manages a
smile, bows his head bit more to
take the blows, but has not and will
not lose hope or quit the struggle.
This is lust one more blow and he
seems to know how to absorb punish
ment without losing hope - he has
been used to it and thinks that he
will come through somehow. 1t is
not trait about which we ought to
crow but this ability to stand punish
ment and smile has come in handy
during these days of depression. We
as race, have survived and now arc
q part of the warp and wool of a
nation. We are at the point where
we can with proper grace seek to,
develop the spirit which the Indians
had and elect to fight at every turn
of the road.
We will now have to cultivate
those virtues which will make us
fight with courage and spirit and
still smile. The bowling has perhaps
kept us here so far. but in the pres
ent struggle for existence, We will
have to do more than smile when we
are hit--we will have to hit back and
hit back harder than we have been
hit Now is the time to do it, and
there can be no turning back.

BACK IN F0LD; TO
 FIGHT JACK
Madison Square Gard e n Officials May Be Heard
 From, However

NEW YORK, April 23.-Primo Camera, who used to do a bit of carpentering in Venice, is back in good standing in this state and is preparing to battle Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, here in June.
 Madison Square Garden officials may have more than few words to say about whether Camera shall be permitted to meet Shar- key under the promotional banner of James J. Johnston at Ebbets Field July 10, but indications are the bout is as good as made and will receive approval from the New York State Athletic Associa- tion
 The Garden insists that it holds a contract calling for Primo to battle no one but the winner of the forthcoming Max Schmeling- Young Stribling titular fray at Cleveland July 3 and notified the commission by letter that it was prepared to go to the courts to maintain it's contract rights.
 James A. Farley, chairman of the commission, had a snappy comeback for this one, however.

Indians and Ted Lyons o1 the Chicago White Sox.
 Grove topped the list last year but his manager Connie Mack, was accused Of dcdging a chance to match his southpaw ace against the right-handed Terrell in late season game at Cleveland when both were going strong. Any time they meet, it figures to be one of the best duels since Brown and Mathewson were pitching rivals.
 Grove won 28 games, Terrell 25, Earnshaw and Lyons each 9 last season. Lyons, with seventh place club, turned in a remarkable record and is considered by many shrewd baseball men the greatest right-hander in either major league.

TIME-0UT HOOP
 RULE LIMITED

NEW YORK, April 23,-Five basketball rule changes, one ra- garded as important, have been announced by the joint basketball rules committee following its an- nual meeting.
 The revision expected to have an important bearing in stimulat- ing interest in basketball is the one which limits time -out periods to one minute. Formerly two minutes were allowed. Members of the rules committee said the old rule was changed because critics have charged that the many in- terruptions in the play proved one of basketball's chief distractions
 The other changes were minor in nature. No more than three overtime periods would be allowed for high school basketball teams; regulation was enacted that any free throw which failed to touch either the ring or blackboard would be an out-of-bounds ball; on free throws following technical or double fouls players will not be allowed to line up on the free throw lines but will be required to stand behind the players try ing for the goal, and if a free throw is not allowed because the player steps over the line or takes too much time, the ball will go back to center rather than on the foul line as before.

NEW YORK, April 23. King Prajadhipok of Siam with the Queen and large retinue, has ar rived here and has been installed in Ophir Hall on the estate of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid.
 The Monarch has entirely re- covered from a slight attack of malaria and bronchitis which mar red his ocean voyage and trip across Canada and the United States.
 An operation for removal of a cataract from his left eye, for which the King travelled half way around the globe, will be per- formed next month.

National Sluggers

The National League should put on plenty of fireworks with Bill Terry meeting the assaults of Chuck Klein Freddy Lindstrom, Lefty ODoul and Babe Herman upon his batting crown.
 Hack Wilson took the home run title for the National league last season, much to the annoyance of the eminent MT. Ruth, who has prepared himself for mighty eff fort to regain his g-cherished honors. Klein, Hornsby and Geh- rig also may have something to say in the race for home run honors.

The selection of 19-yaar-old Sidney Wood and 20-year-old Frank Shields for the first Amer ican Davis Cup team picked for the 1881 season marks another step in the development of the two players destined perhaps to fill the places once embelIshed by the famous Bills-Tilden and John ston.
 Wood and Shields furnish a contrast in style and temperament equally as marked as the differ ences between Tilden and John ston.
 Shields is the Tilden of the new combination, tall, rangy, and with a terrific service There the com p9rison stops, however, for Wood has nothing to resemble the rifle shot forehand drive that was so conspicuous a weapon in John ston's hands. The New York youngster relies on craft and a baffling assortment of shots. He is tireless in covering court, with gift for tactics as brilliant as Tilden ever possessed.
 If the Davis Cup is to be brought back from France within the next two or three years, the odds are 2 to that Shields and Wood will turn the trick.
 They represent the second group of youngsters to move forward since France took the trophy over seas The first group, including Doeg. Lott. Van Ryn and Allison, aided by Tilden, failed to accom- plish the job and has now reached the stage where further improve ment is questionable.

 The commission intimated that it would recognize no contract signed with Camera while he was under suspension, thus clearing the way for Sharkey- Camera en- counter.
 Camera has been under sus- pension here since April 30. 193O.

With the major leagues off on another stern and rock-bound chase, the tussle for individual honors looms amongst the most entertaining prospects.

Iu S. YORKTOWN DESCENDANTS MIFFED
Hamilton Fish, Jr., to
BE at Fete, but
Not Invited

invited by the Daughters of the
American Revolution to unveil
their tablet in memory Of the
American soldiers who fell at
Yorktown.
History Repetitlons
A glimpse into a musty old his.
tory reveals that a similar at
tempt to make the French sole
recipients Of honor at Yorktown
was baked by none other than
General Lafayette when he
visited there as "the nations
guest" in 1924. Presented with
a wreath of victory. the general
turned to his old comrade, Gen.
eral Fish, saying:
"Here, half Of this wreath
belongs to you"
And when Colonel Fish de-
INJURED, said Lafayette:
"Then take IL, and preserve
Il as our common property"
Beside Marshal Henri Petain,
chief of the French delegation,
there will be Gen. Comte de
Chambrun, descendant of the
Marquis de Lafayette, at the cere.
monies october II.
Although Colonel Fish stood be-
side Lafayette at that earlier
ceremony-in May, 1824-his
great grandson. Hamilton Fish
jr., will not be at the side of the
Comte de Chambrun next Oc'
tober II for the simple reason
that he hasn't been invited.

Wonder Why Visitors
From France Get
All Honors

1t seems there's another Battle
of Yorktown in the making.
Fear Of offending British sensl'
bilities prompted the State De-
partment and the Sesquicenten-
rial officials to omit inviting de-
scendants Of Lord CornwalliS TO
participate in the celebration Of
the Englishman's surrender. That
participated some warlike fire
works, but the powder has now
fixed out.
However, with invitations to de-
scendants of the Franch partici-
pants accepted by some Is
Frenchmen who will be guests Of
the United States government,
with all expenses paid, it develops
that descendants of American Of
ficers in the grand climax Of the
Revolution are wondering where
they get off.
Snub to Fish
The American kinsmen are a
mere handful, but Just enough to
be a trifle hot under the collar
at not being invited, on a par
with the French, and likewise
with honor, free transportation
and prepaid quarters at the best
hotels.

In q genuinely belligerent fashion
James c. Stone, chairman Of the

tions built up over years almost
solely by Federal help. He said:
