NEGRO LYNCHED IN FLORIDA

Tampa, Fla. (CNA) Feb. 3.-Rob-

was taken out of the Tampa Jail and
'lynched here on Tuesday while Presi-
dent Roosevelt was having a big
country wide radio and special birth
day party.
Johnson is the fifth victim Of lynch
terror during the first month, he was
lynched after being charged with
petty larceny, however, after he had
been lynched by the celebration par
ty, the usual fake charge of rape or
attempted rape was made against
him.
The lone officer who took Johnson
from the jail for safe transfer" met
the lynchers on the outskirts of town
and proceeded to have himself "kid-
mapped" so that the innocent Negro
could be lynched without it being re-
ported that the officer was present at
the time.

By HENRY McLEMORE ta United Press Stan Correspondent) New York, Mar. 1-(UP)-This fight between Primo Camera and Tommy Loughran, which every body has been Kidding the jodh- purs off, may, ironically enough, go down in the books as the most rec ord-breaking heavyweight cham pionship fight of all time.
 It hasn't been fought yet, but even so, it has managed to estab- fish several new marks, one of which involves postponements. It's been put off twice now. Appar- ently the Garden officials plan to save it for some dul1 evening when they haven't anything else to do. You know, one of those nights when everybody you call up is busy and you've seen all the nov ing pictures that are showing. A few more postponements and the boys down there, to report the fight, will have to pay Florida in- come taxes, which would establish some new something or other.
 And certainly the causes for the postponements are worthy or re- cording by ring historians. The first came when it was learned there was to be a dinner dance at a hotel some eleven miles out of town, and a greyhound race, on the same night. This marked the first time that promoters had admitted that patrons might find more en- Ftertainment dancing and dining, and losing money on the dogs, than in watching two pugilists fight it out for what is seriously referred to as fistiana's highest bauble. t.,
 The second postponement, if we may take the word of Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick, Garden president, came when the forecast called for showers which might possibly "spoil some of our patrons eve ming clothes"
 Loughran established some sort of a mark when he boxed a few rounds with one Jimmy Cromwell, who holds @ first ten" ranking in the social register. Even Tunney, who always sought to employ spar ring partners with an Oxford ac- cent, never spared quite So hand somely as this.
 When, and if the fight is held, other marks are certain to be set up. It will, for example, be the first to see the erection of barbed wire entanglements between the ringside seats and the cheaper perches. There is, I understand, quite a division of opinion concern ing this barbed wire. Some argue its purpose is to keep the two-dol- lar ticket holders from slipping into fancier seats, while others are just as insistent that it was erected to prevent just the opposite. Still others are fthe opinion that the Garden plans to pay off Primo and Tommy in barbed wire, and that the wire was placed there as an evidence of good faith. Another school argues that it was thrown up by the Garden as sort of guar antee that on the night of the bout the customers would be sure of seeing something connected with fighting.
 Loughran, if he lasts more than ten rounds, is certain to break the existing record for the marathon run, while Camera, if he catches up with Tommy, undoubtedly will smash the current mark for the two-mi1e run. So you see. the fight shouldn't be taken so lightly after all

 ELEVENTH GAME FROM TORRINCTON
Foley Club Scored 55 20 Victory Over New Cityies

Naugatuck, March 1.-It will be Q shame if such a team as Nauga- tuck high is excluded from the Yale tourney, was the consensus last night of fans who saw a pow orfui Garnet combine that Hooked absolutely unbeatable by any com bination in the state ride rough shod over reputedly strong Tor ri1gton team to win 55-20. Nauga- tuck showed a marvellous eye for the baskets, blinding speed and plenty of power.
 It looked as though it might be a close battle in the first quarter although Naugatuck took an early lead. Tuckey opened the scoring by popping one in for Naugy, but York tied the score with a neat basket for the visitors. Tuckey then netted a foul, and then Frankie Edmonds, negro flash. whose speed and grace was the talk of the spec tators, caged two in succession, one beautiful long shot arching through the hoop. Tuckey followed with one and Edmonds hooked in a nifty side shot.
 Early Lead
 Longhi, Torrington center, then scored a basket and a foul, but Tom Scally duplicated his per- formance. Richards of Torrlngton sunk foul trip and the quarter ended with Naugy leading 14-S.
 In the second quarter the Gar net displayed its best form, Tor rington being unable to score a single basket from the floor. Scally took 8 pass from Edmonds to score and Tuckey did the same. Longhi scored a foul shot and Dick Tuckey duplicated. ''Nebbie' Balinsky en- tered the score column with a foul and Tuckey dropped in slick side shot. Edmonds and Scally duplicated. Edmonds then sank two in q row to make the score 30-10 and the half ended.
 Second Half Romp
 The second half was just con- tinuance of the runaway and in the fourth quarter near the end of the game, Pete Foley injected his full second team. Torrington fol- lowed suit, realizing the game was lost. Longhi and Richards and Ed nonds went out of the game via the foul route. An enthusiastic crowd nearly made the rafters shake with applause as the reg uIars came out.
 The Naugy seconds won a close game, 29-22 when Anderson and Waite followed baskets of Galeski and Ketchkes score and complete a thlly which won for the locals.
 It was the last home game for Natgy and the locals will play their last scheduled of the season Friday night in Pawtucket, R. l., against PaWtucket high. The Garnet trimmed the Rhode Islanders here in Q close game. It was the 11th straight win for the locals last night.

Of course. the paddle must be tilted to allow for topspin put on in the smash shot. Incline the blade of the paddle slightly toward the net and this will return the ball low and fast to your opponent.
