Ralph MetcaEe
Sets Three New
Track Records

CH1CAGO.-Ralph Metcale, %
year-old Negro athlete from Mar
quette University, was the outstand-
ing performer of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association track
and field meet held here Saturday
The Negro star broke three world
records and tied another when he
shattered the marks for the 220-yard
dash, the 100 meters and the 200
meters and tied the accepted world
record of 9.5 seconds for the cent
ury.
Metcalfe, a powerfully built man,
weighing 1870 pounds and standing 5
feet II inches, started his amazing
achievement by winning the 100
yard dash in 9.5 seconds, breaking
the tape two yards in front of Don
Bennett OF Ohio State. This equaled
the accepted world record made by
Eddie Tolan.
Metcalfe's most sparkling race
was the 220-yard dash, in which he
slashed tenth of second from the
world mark to beat another Negro,
James Johnson of Illinois State Nor
NAL, by six yards in 20.5 seconds.
In both races Metcalfe also was
timed at metric distances for Olym-
pic competition. The watches showed
him knocking off 200 meters in 202
seconds, three-tenths of a second
better than the existing world mark
held by Roland Locke of Nebraska.
He was timed at 100 meters at 1912
seconds, two-tenths of a second
faster than the record established by
Charlie Paddock.
Metcalfe will compete in the final
trials for Americas Olympic team
July 1916 at Palo Alto, Calf.

Eugene Gordon Says
Communist Party
Deserve Our Vote


BOSTON.-A powerful indictment
of the Republican party and an urge
to support the Communists, who have
named James E. Ford vice presi-
dent, was released by Eugene Cor
don, militant editorial writer, this
week. Gordon says in his article;
1.-THE time has come once more
for the demagogues, the vote buy
ers, the vote sellers and the pam
derers of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, both among the white
office seekers and their black lack
eys, to come fawning upon the Ne
gro voter with promises of what they
shall do for him when they get into
power.
"More than two generations of
Negro voters have listened to these
Republican promises every four
years. More than two generations
of black voters have seen these prom
ises always turn out to be lies.
"But the fact that Negroes who
vote, have caught them in lie after
lie ever since emancipation" has
not stopped the white and the black
politicians from reverting to the
same old trick in 1882.
so it comes down to this-that
the Democrats and the Republicans
are at last being recognized by the
black voter for what they are COM
mon liars, thieves, and double-cros-
sers.
"The black voter knows, at last,
that the Republican party is not 60
ing to keep any of the lush promises
it makes to him. He knows that the
Democratic party is not going to
keep its promises. The two parties
themselves know that the Negroes
know it, but they trust to his stu
pidity to keep him voting for them.
"The Negro is voting Communist
because he knows that the Commu-
mist party is the political party of
the oppressed masses of the people,
the industrial workers, the persecut-
ed blacks, the toiling farmers. He
knows that the Communist party en-
ters an election campaign explicitly
to rally the toilers of city and coun-
try. whether these toilers be white
or black, in a united struggle for
jobs, bread and peace"
