IN the SPORT LIGHT
BY Leo BOhannOn

in making the State Univel sity
team.
We have it from reliable sources
that "Old' Bill Penn busted off the
most ancient of all his tennis
rackets, gently laid aside his pre-
historic blazer and then proceeded
to polish off young Freddie Slem-
mons in straight sets in the finals
of the Wheatley Tennis TOurna-
ment.
In all fairness to Penn, and not
wishing to detract from the play
ing ability of Slemmons, we must
admit that SlemmOns did not have
a chance against the cole Maestro"
Penn will win more matches on
sheer consistency and belief in him
self long after his playing skill has
vanished than many more finished
players will win on ability.
Against SlemmOns, Penn had
everything. He has had more ex-
Iperience, greater consistency, and
a sounder and much more polished
game.
The recent East VS.. West base
ball game in Chicago brings up the
old argument again. "Can big
league Negro baseball compare
with big league White baseball ?"
Our answer to this is in the mega
tive. Our reasons are practically
the same as those given by Jack
Harpole when interviewed by the
writer on Negro VS.. White foot
ball. Many will not agree with
the writer and some will think the
writer downright traitorous, but
we can find no reason to believe
otherwise.
Last Tuesday evening the
Russian representatives in the ALL
Nation Diamondball Tournament
defeated the Negro team at the
Minneapolis Parade ground by a
score of 4-3.
The venerable Fred Cane pitched
and coached his team to almost
certain victory, only to lose out in
an extra inning. The Negro en-
trants gave one of their best ex-
hibitiOns of diamondball. Every
player played superb ball and
the one run margin between de-
feat and victory was a true indica-
ton of the relative merits of the
two teams.
You know the going must be
tough when the losing hurler
pitches 3 hit game. CIemmons
Rooney, Leland Davis, and Don
StrOwder were the fielding heroes
of the game; while Harold Jackson
with a double and a homerun
starred at bat.
