DEMAND FAIR PLAY
FOR NEGRO BOXERS

CHICAGO lBy Jacob Anderson
for AMP THE remarkably fair
attitude which daily newspapers
in Chicago have assumed toward

have received his opportunity to
advance in the heavyweight ranks
had It not been for the support Of

cation as a result of the policy adj
opted by its publisher, Col. R. R.
Mccormick and its sports editor,
Arch Ward, laid down the dictum,
when organizing the Golden Glove
tournament, which the Tribune
sponsors, that every participant
was to receive equality of opport-
unity. Half dozen clever colored
fighters have graduated from the
Golden Gloves ranks, most notable

support. he received his chance.
He made good and has left ajar a

enter.

fact that it is a Hearst publica-

WASHINGTON, d. c. tANF)-
Suffering from a sudden attack of
pneumonia. Joseph H. Douglass,
grandson of the late abolitionist
and statesman, Frederick Doug

Saturday morning.
Mr.. Douglass, who was sixty-six
years old at the time of his death,
was the pioneer and dean of race
violinists, being the first Negro 20

ter Of the violin.
He was born in 1869 in Anacos-
tia, D. c., the son of Charles r..
and Mary Elizabeth Douglass. His
father was the son of the late alb
olitionist. He received his early
education in the public schools Of
Washington, learning in between
how to play the violin.
After deyoting several years to
the teaching of violin music, Mr..
Douglass took to the concert stage
and was hailed by musical critics
as a "revelation-a violinist of ar
tistic skill" Many Presidents of
the United States had been de-
lightfully entertained by his mas
terful handling of the stringed in
strument. Among those who had
heard him were President William
Mckinley and President William
H. Taft.
Frederick Douglass, himself a
violinist Of note, took a keen in
terest in his grandson, giving him
lessons at the early age of twelve
years. When he had learned to
master the instrument, his grand
father purchased from Germany a
violin at cost of 81, 900. The vio-
lin was made four centuries ago,
and was used by Mr., Douglass in
his concerts which he conducted
until he became i'll.
His private concert work took
him into practically every State.
He made frequent trips to the
South where he introduced CLASH
cal music.

OIyrnpics
Negro Athletes Satisfied

NEW YORK amp = AIneri-
can participation IN the 1886 Oh
ympics at Berlin was voted by the
Amateur Athletic Union Sunday
after a bitter fight led by opposing
forces. Prospective Negro mem
bers of the team, however, are in
sympathy with next summers in
ternational competition.
Previously Eulace Peacock, the
Temple University star; Jessie
Owens, Ohio State world record
holder, and Ralph Metcalfe, Mar
quette flash, all of whom will pro-
baby be mainstays of the U. S.
entry, told the Associated Negro
Press they were in favor of parti-
cipation by the United States.
Just before the opening of the
A.AU. convention, Walter White
of the NAACP sent telegram to
the organization requesting that
body to vote against American
participation White stated the
message was sent in no spirit of
racial selfishness nor in any holier-
than-thou attitude. The United
States has much to answer for in
the matter of racial discrimination
especially against Negro athletes
in the South. Instead we ask the
A.A.U. to vote against participa-
ton on the ground that Germany
has violated her pledges against
racial discrimination and for Am
erican athletes to participate would
be to negate every principle on
which the Olympic games are
founded"

Italian Campaign in East

PARIS lANP) Reports reach

week indicated that beyond the
Alps the internal situation in It

the lack Of success Of the italian
campaign in Ethiopia.
Discomfort among 1talian labor

to preserve order behind the lines.
A few weeks ago the Fescist press
referred guardedly to discomfort
among the workers and spoke Of
the. disciplinary measures military
authorities were obliged TO take.
Conditions since have grown
gradually worse. Despite high
wages. Italian laborers building
roads upon which supplies pass,
have become rebellious after many
months Of toiling under the blaz-
ing tropical sun and exposure to
inhuman hardships and disease.
There have been strikes and even
riots between worlxmen and sold
iers trying to keep laborers to the
picks and shoyels at gunpoint.
The order for the 1000 national
police came when military officials
notified Rome they were unable to
cope with the situation. These ma
tional police are specialists IN

Borah Statement Will
Lose Votes, Declares
DC. Daily Newspaper

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The be-
lief that Senator william e. Bor-
abs statement that he would veto
a federal anti-lynching bill if he
were elected President may lose
him votes in northern and western
states was expressed by g. Gould
Lincoln, political writer for the
Washington Evening Star. Mr..
Lincoln also declared that Senator
Borah's statement would not gain
him any support in the South. His
paragraph follows:
Senator Borah's letter declar-
ing that if he were President and
an anti-lynching bill, on the line
of the Costigan-W Wagner bill, were
presented to him he would veto it,
may have wide political effect. His
flat declaration that he would not
approve such a law, on the ground
that it was unconstitutional and
invaded States rights, was made
to the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
It was unequivocal. Considered
from a practical political view
point, it may cost the Senator de-
legates in the Republican National
Convention next year. 1t is not
likely to get him the support of
delegates from the Southern states
and it might lose MIN delegates in
states where the colored vote is
considerable and holds a balance
of power. In Chic, for example,
the colored vote is to be reckoned
with. Mr. Borah's blunt reply on
the lynching bill question, courag-
eous as it was, did not have the
sound of man seeking to WOO de-
legates to the national convention"

of music throughout the world dur
ing which he made the statement
as to the Importance of the Negro
Spirituals in music, pointing out
From the Negro melodies jazz
developed to break down the con-
ventional forms of music in serious
compositions. The Spirituals con-
stitute the only real An srican
contribution to music. Through
out the European continent they
find favor with music critics and
lovers and furnish an outlet from
the postwar music as Europeans
are again seeking the serious type
of music, which expresses the ma
tural feelings of human-beings as
in found in all folk snncs .

similarity between Hitler's treat
ment of the Jews and the treat
ment Of Negroes in the South, c.
A. Smythwick, Jr. has written a
scorching letter to the New York
World Telegram, in which he lie
clares:
with so much agitation by var
ious groups in the United States
and so much propaganda in the
press against American participa-
ton in the Olympic Games, some
instances of racial discrimination
here at home are called to mind.
1.-THE activities of the Associa-
ton Against American Participa-
ton in the Olympics, the National
Conference of Jews and Christians
and the gallant efforts of Jeremi-
ah T. Mahoney, president of the
A.A.U., are to be commended.
But one wonders if, by chance,
the next Olympiad were to take
place in, let us say Atlanta, Ca,
or almost any one of the States

hotels, some of them built espec-

Would all those coming by rail
and bus be able to ride in comfort
in any seat they should choose, or
would SOME of them be obliged to
ride in dilapidated railroad cars
and over the rear wheels of the
buses :? Would the restaurants re-
move signs stating, We Do Not
Serve Negroes?' Would the fash

to bathe?
grhe greatest argument against
American participation in the Oh
ympic Games is based on the fact
that the Nazi state has assumed
responsibility for the Olympiad, re-

Have they forgotten that discrim-
