the Editor, DR.. W. f. b. Dubois"
Mr.. Streater's letter read in part,
my own actions In this situation
were defensive in character and
proceeded logically from the
hypothesis that II the Crisis was
TO be maintained, II could not be
maintained by position OF neu-
trality on the part OF the active
managing editor The peculiar
cvharacte of the dual managership
OF the Crisis created by the Board
places me in the position OF prov
ing my loyalty" TO the Association
while at the same time bearing the
majo responsibility OF the work
on the Crisis.

aDr. Du Bots Joined the Associa-

was already a distinguished teacher
scholar and man OF letters, Profess
sor Of Sociology in Atlanta Univer-
sity and author OF Souls OF Black
Folk" and other works which had
deeply moved the white world as
we'll as the black. The ideas which
ne had propounded for decade
were the ideas that had brought the
Association into being; It's founders
were his intellectual disciples In so
far as The Negro problem was con-
cerned: and he was In real sense
the spiritual founder and father or
the Association.
"He founded the Crisis without q
cent OF capital, and for many years
made Il completely self-supporting,
reaching a maximum monthly cir
culation nj tie end OF the World
War of 100000. This Is an unpre-

distinguished tribute. But the ideas
which he propounded In II and In
his books and essays transformed
the Negro world as well as large
portion OF the liberal white world,
so that the whole had a completely
new orientation. He created, what
never existed before, a Negro intel
ligentsia. and many who have never
read a word OF his writings are his
spiritual disciples and descendants.
Without him the Association couad
never have been what II was and Is.
"The Board has not always seen
eye to eye with him in regard to
various matters, and cannot sub
scribe to some OF his criticism OF
the Association and its officials.
But such differences In the past
have IN no way interfered with his
usefulness, but rather the contrary.
For he had been selected because
Of his Independence OF judgment,
his fearlessness In expressing his
convictions. and his acute ana wide

The Washington times., 1934-04-27

Officials of the Washington
Club hit upon a novel scheme that
would add more interest to their
tournament this year. It was the
club team idea and it promises to
add an abundance of interest to
the tourney.
Advantages in Favor
Washington, with strong out
fit, will be favored because Of the
competition taking place over its
home course. And that is an i'm
mense advantage in many re-
spects.
Those who will probably be
named to carry the colorS Of the
washington Club are Reese Hair,
club champion: Tommy Webb, jr.,
Walter R. McCallum, Ralph S.
Fowler, Jimmy Drain, and Frank
K. Roesch. It is also possible that
one Of these will be sidetracked
for Dorie c. Gruver, v. Calvert
Dickey. or Rudolph r. Harrell.
Harrell, chairman of the tourna-
ment committee, expects more
than 800 entries, but emphatically
declares the list will be limited to
325. Entries are to close tomor-
row night at 6 o'clock, with the
course available for practice Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday will
be given over to the qualifying
rounds with match play rounds on
Thursday and Friday.

it was raining as the contestants
stepped forth for the first round.
The final results of the quail.

: Ray Earns Plenty
For A.A.U. But Gets
| H0tfHL of Tin Medals

what they are, but certainly
not amateurs.
Wherever the gate, or pro-
ceeds, is of paramount import
ance at a sporting event that
event is no longer amateur.
And the first time you come
upon an amateur" sporting
event where the gate is not
considered, write me a letter.
Now I am plain country boy
and pretty simple, at best. But
when for days and days prior to
some amateur sporting event
my desk is Uttered with press
notices, setting forth the bril-
liant and thrilling events that
are scheduled, I get it. Some
body wants me to put a piece in
the paper about it. And the
reason somebody wants a piece
in the papers is because that
somebody wants to see long lines
at the ticket windows.
Pros Easy to Figure
When Madison Square Gar
den, or Jack Curley, or the
Yankee or Giant ball teams send
me press notices, I am neither
surprised. pleased, nor annoyed.
I expect 'em and SO times out Of
100, I toss them into the waste
basket just as they arrive.
Still, I understand the set-up.
I know what they want. Colonel
Fitzpatrick wants lots of Gus
toners at the Madison Square
Garden bowl.
But when a college, for ex-
ample, announces one day: We
are trying to deemphasize foot
ball here, it has been getting
too much attention, we want
to pipe it down and make it
truly amateur. But on the next
day sends you a press notice on
next Saturdays game, all it
succeeds in doing is confusing
me,
If a college wants to deem
phasize any sport, I'm the sort
of fellow who'd be glad to help.
The way to deemphasize any
thing is to say nothing about
it. That's elemental. But when
it says in one breath, now
please don't mention, and in
the next, please print this col
umn, what then?
Joie Rays Sad Case
Nor can I hold still for a
system in which some athlete
fills somebody's hat with green
backs and winds up with his
own full Of tin medals.
Consider the case Of Joie Ray,
one of the best and most coura-
geous runners the United States
has produced.
In his time Ray must have
put thousands, even hundreds
of thousands, of dollars, into
the Golfers of various amateur
athletic organizations. But all
he personally wound up with
was some yellowed headlines out
of the morning papers.
