the first legal bout to be staged on the

WHAT OTHERSSAY

While returning from a trip along
the north shore of Lake Superior last
week the writer met contingent of the
new Civilian Conservation Corps on its
way to camp. All of the neophyte
woodsmen wore grinS that would ap-
propriately adorn the countenance of
any barefoot kid going fishing. Their
attitude plainly announced to the world
that they we're embarking on an ad-
venture, and it was undoubtedly the
first time most of them were being given
a chance to view the sights of northern
Minnesota We envy the boys their six
months experience in MinneSota's forest
wonderland which many of them are
taking in exchange for what might
easily have been discouraging and
permanently disheartening period Of
inactivity in some city slum amid Sordid
surroundings. And we take our hat
of to the far-Seeing leaders who con-
ceived this project and put it into
operation in so short time.-Guy
Cravens in Foley Independent.

The Miner will not review the
diamond ball games in detail but will
try to publish the scores and standings

At the risk of being called tool OF
the privileged class, we desire to state
that the legislature is likely to flnd
itself embarrassed by the refusal OF the
mining industry to pay its last-half
taxes when they come due in the fall
We say the legislature will be embar-
raised because most of the demagoguery
exhibited toward the mining industry
has come from or been inspired by
members of the Senate and the House
ever since ore was discovered. Our
prediction is that the mining companies
are not bluffing, and that the range
officials and the representatives Of the
people" in the legislature have reached
the bottom of the barrel
During the last session the charge was
made by some of the range legislators
who have been dragging the mining
industry down to its present level, that
the state had lost $12,OOO,000 in the
despoilation of the Mountain Iron mine.

SIDELINE COMMENT
By "Sham"

Judging from the turnout of fans for
the boxing show at Virginia last week,
it seems that the sport Is on the up
grade and should go good in these
parts. The Virginia show produced a
lot of high class action with an at
tendance of cash customers that put the
event over the financial top. The fight
fans who saw the card went away well
satisfied that the show was good one.
There Is still some talk of boxing
in Ely and that someone should
obtain franchise to promote the
game, but most of the noise Is being
broadcast by those who would like
to have someone, other than them
selves, take over the job of pro-
noting and financing the venture.

Max Baer's decisive victory over Max
Schmeling last week gives boxing a
colorful contender for the heavyweight
title. Baer, casting aside his usual
Glowing tactics, went seriously to work
on the German Max in a manner that
promises plenty of action in any future
fight in which Baer is one of the
principals.
Baer's two-fisted charging attack
in his recent fight sounds a warning
that things will be happening when,
If ever, he meets the winner of the
Sharkey Camera fight. Baer is the
logical choice to meet the victor of
the June 18th battle, but with both
Sharkey and Camera having seen
the cutting down Of Schmeling, they
perhaps are not any too willing to
mix with Baer.
According to expert dopesters Camera
their coming fight. The Man Noun
tain" of Italy has the advantage over
Sharkey in weight, height, reach and
has a supposedly even break in speed.
The dope is that Camera can only be
taken by an aggressive fighter who
packs wallop and that Sharkey does
not qualify in these respects, being a
conservative, cautious and safety first
type with not much of a knockout
punch.
If Sharkey elects to outlook
Camera in their mix, he's liable to
run into lot of trouble. The giant
Italian is much improved boxer
since his Sharkey fight Of a couple
years ago and really handles him
self well for his size. IL Camera
can really box as well as he is being
ballyhooed, the Boston sailor Is In
for a lot of trouble on June 18th.

ton and his team has already
grabbed of several victories since
he took charge. His main difficulty
at Washington seemed to be that
too many Of the players were old
teammates and personal friends of
other days and that they. took ad-
vantage Of his good nature and
friendship. He will not have to
contend with anything like that at
Cleveland.
Johnny Goodman, % year old, Omaha
Nebraska, amateur, won the National
Open Golf championship at Glenview
Illinois last week hanging up score
OF 287 for 70 holes of play. Goodman's
score was one more than the open
record of 286 set in 1916 and equalleo
last year by champion Gene Sarazen
Goodman has come along fast in recent
years being comparatively unknown un-
til last year when he was runner-up in
the National Amateur tournament.
Goodman did not make the win
ming stroke in capturing the open
title. 1t was made by the runner
up, Ralph Guldahl, of st. Louis
whose miss of four-foOt putt lost
him the chance of tying Goodman's
score and gave the Omaha player
the championship.

ups of both teams promises to pro-
duce lot of baseball, especially

co TO HIGH

A teacher at Eyander Childs High School recently,
without solicitation, gave a colored girl student the follow
ing piece OF advice: Unless you intend to go to college,
you had better quit high school and go to a trades school"
The girl in question is a member of one of New
Yorks old colored families.
When she returned home she related to her mother
what the teacher had said. Unlike many Negroes who, un-
der similar circumstances, usually indulge in criticism and
denunciation from afar, this mother visited Eyander
Childs High School and demanded Of the teacher an ex-
PLANTATION for her impertinence.
The teachers protestations Of friendly interest in
the colored student did not ring true and the irate mother
did not hesitate to frankly give the school marin a piece
OF her mind. She expressed the opinion entertained by
many Negro citizens that there are some principals and
tachers in the employ of the New York Publ. Schools
who make it their business to discourage colored bows and
girls from finishing high school.
Whether such a vicious practice is a part Of a das-
tardly plot-a tacit understanding between narrow-mind-
ed, ~prejudiced servants of the people-to retard the edu-
catlonal progress OF a group of citizens and deprive them
OF their Constitutional advantages-is a uestion that
Snoulo De given serious consideration and careful inquiry.
Inc larger the number of colored high school gra-
duates the larger the number Of aspirants to teach in the
public schools of Greater New York seems to be the dom
mating thought which influences some principals and
teachers TO voluntarily advise smart and ambitious color
ed students to quit high school and enter trade school.
Those OF the race studying trades encounter great diff
Guilty IN securing employment after they finish their
Studies because OF the color line. Nevertheless, they should
commune TO get what they want despite these diSadyant-
ages.
Another method Of discouraging colored students
from continuing in high school is said to be their uniusti-
flaole thinking by u~nfriendly teachers. Boys and girls who
Deneve tnat an injustice has been done them in examina-
tons should see to it that their parents register a protest
with the proper school authorities-head of the Board
OF Education-if necessary. Similar action should be taxi
en- Dy parents whose children meet with the experience of
the Evander High School student.
Negro taxpayers of New York do not have to stand
Tor discrimination of this sort in our public schools. The
Board OF Education does not encourage it, and CITY Of
ficlals would not stand for it if these un-American prac-
tees were directed to their attention. Sitting the am
bitlon OF any youth, no matter what his race, color or reli-
glon may be, is a pretty low, contemplate thing to do.
