Swastika Golf Club
Holds Tournament

The Swastika club is holding
the first tournament Of the season
among its members. 1t is a four
ball foursome match play, low
ball and total.
The tournament began Sunday
May 5, 1885. 1t is being played at
the Fontenelle Park Golf Course.
The club is separated into
groups, according to jobs held by
respective members. First, we
have the City Hall, represented
by our noble and versatile Presi-
dent, Mr.. Toby James, the power
full and talented Mr.. z. E. Me
Gee, and one of our most con-
sistent golfers and best baby
crooners, Jesse Hutton.
In the Court House, we are rep
resented by one Of our past presi-
dents, the little powerful big
man, Mr.. Art McCaw, Mr. J..
billiard Crawford, the one whom
we all know as the man that
can't take hot weather. From
the U. S. N. Bank, comes a very
strong team. First is the man
with a big voice, Mr.. Beanie
Scott. What a hardy bridge
player he is, and what a man?
Next is our most worthy vice
president, the man that is full of
activities, the man with a ire
mendous smile, Mr.. Thomas
Chandler from the Northwestern
railroad. We have a man of a few
words, but is dangerous on the
green, Mr.. Gene Murray. Then,
next, is Billy Davis, the man
whose toe the boys have been try
ing to stomp and make him throw
away his mid-iron, but he is still
sticking.
The Court House team say that
they are ready to take on all
comers. These fellows are on the
spot, for the rest of the teams are
talking about them. According
to the City Hall, the U. S. N.
Bank is on the spot, too Of
course, we know that the North
western team is on the spot. I am
wondering who is going to be
bumped off first. Well, I'll soon

Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier
Dear Sir:
| have been reading with increas-
ing interest your excellent articles on
the life Of Joe Louis.
To my mind the finest thing about
Joe Louis is the fact he has a colored
manager, and that his whole working
staff is made up Of colored men. This
is a fac that should be emphasized
over and over aga.n because one Of the
outstanding weaknesses of our group
is their failure to have faith and con-
fdence in one another.
We talk a lot-loud and much
ab0u our ability, about our equality
with the white man; we grow hot I'M
der the collar when a white mar so
much as hints we are in any sense
inferior. yet in our even day prac-
tees, in every walk of life, we show
ourselves inferior - that we don't
think the colored man has the same
ability as the white man-that we
have no faith in the efficiency of mem
bers OF our own group.
Take our famed orchestras with
their wonderful music, and that they
arc wonderful we are all agreed. Yet
ever. one 7 have known anything
abous OF outstanding prominnce has
been nnanager b a white man. Not
only have they had white booking
agents who send them out, but they
are sublet to lesser white agencies all
over the country. AS a result the Ne
gro must pay more to hear his own
crchestras than any other element of
our American citizenship. This is a
statement no one can deny and is an
outrage when you stop to think of it.
There is no need to talk about a
49th State or anything else until the
Negro adopts a different attitude to-
wards Negroes, a faith in himself and
In one another. 1t would be a funny
18th s ate with no Negro having con-
fidence in any of the officials of that
State. You see this every day with
the professions, in business, in art, in
Literature, in everything the Negro
SHES away from members of his own
race. He is loud in his protestation
of faith in one another, he boasts of
his professional men, he loves to So
cial-ze with them-but when it comes
to ~patronizing them it is another
story.
Right here in this city this week we
have two first degree murder cases.
There is n pending now in which
case a Negro is involved, being tried
for his life. In neither case is a col !
ored lawyer representing the defen-
dant. / would not mention this were
it not for the fact that this is dupli-
Gated in every city of size in the coun-
try where we have colored lawyers
who have graduated from Harvard,
Yale, the best State schools or the
best private schools-from the same
schools the whites come out of. Some
body somewhere must get into the
thinking of the Negro to the end he
will think more in terms of beginning
to build for himself. If not he is
doomed to be the footstool of America.
Respectfully,
F. B. Ransom.

honor. Joe's manager John Roxbor-

days come only once, especially when
a young fellow is approaching the
most important fight Of his career, is
going to allow Joe to stay out late
ever as late as 1 o'clock.

Wins for
Bernard

Wow, what a punching feather
weight!
Roger Bernard is his name and
he made quite an impression on
fans at the Washington Audito-
rum last night.
His fight with joey Doherty
was quite an item to watch. His
hard punching predominated
throughout the 10-round and it
must be said Doherty felt his
presence as we'll as the small gath
ering of fans.
Bernard took six of the 10
rounds by wide margins. He lost
two only because of fouls com
mitted. The remaining two rounds
went to Doherty by nice fighting
on his part.
Bernard was good at long range
and when he couldn't get at Do
herty in this manner he carried
the fighting to his opponent with
telling body blows. In all, his ef-
forts were completely gratifying to
the customers.
The scheduled six-round semi.
windup beteween Baby Miller and
Angelo Manners was a humdinger.
Miller. after flooring Angelo three
times in the sixth round, gained
the technical kayo when Referee
Hughes finally stepped in and
stopped the bout.
In other bouts, Elmer Rezenah,
Cincinnati welter, won over Hon
eyboy Snipes, of Florida, 3~l six
rounds; Joe Teens outpointed Al
Gillette in another six rounder
while Kid Easter defeated Young
Firpo in a four-round opener.

home two up w. ""'O" A'
on Lawson Little and Roger Pea
cock before a gallery that trudged
through the boggy bottoms and
climbed the hills, unwilling to miss
a single stroke in the great con-
flict.
Diffenbaugh was low man for
the round, with a 10, one under
par, and Mackenzie had a "a.
Peacock had 72 and Little a "a.
Long Warming Up
It required four or five holes
for Little to loosen up, and dur
ing this time he found himself
playing the odd more often than
the crowd had anticipated. The
spectators expected Little to tear
the cover off the pill. On the
fifth hole he really tore into his
tee shot with all of his ITS
pounds and it rode out in majestic
arc to find the turf some 20
yards beyond the best of his
rivals.
The gallery didn't wake up to
the fact that Diffenbaugh was
really in the match until the
fourth hole when he whistled
brilliant second stone dead for a
birdie three. The others played
their mashies high into the wind,
but Diffenbaugh played a line
drive with a bite that hit the
carpet and stuck. He ran down
the put with firm touch and the
crowd said: well, whadda va
know about that?"
Reaches Fringe.
On the ninth Little drove the
green, reaching the fringe on the
back of the carpet. Taking a
No. 6 iron he laid his approach
stone dead for a conceded putt
and a par.
Peacock thrilled the crowd with
two of the greatest shots it will
be your privilege to see in many
and many moon. On the
eleventh he squared the match
with a birdie three. A good drive
was followed by an approach that
was a bit strong and the ball
rolled 20 feet or more past the
pin. Roger stepped up hit the ball
firmly, and down it went like a
prairie dog scuttling home in
panic.
On the fifteenth hole he faded
his drive off into the high grass
down to where draindigging has
placed the ground under repair.
He whaled in with a spoon that
simply blanketed the pin from the
moment it clicked off the club
head and the crowd roared its
applause again.
It was on the sixteenth hole
that Little showed the breed and
blood of the champion.
On Edge Of Carpet
Its a long hole, that 525-yard
stretch of undulating turf, and the
Stanford bomber was on the edge
of the carpet eight feet from
home. It was easy for two puts.
after chipping up close, but he
needed bird to square the
match, so he holed out in a
single putt.
But alas for Little and alack for
his hopes of ultimate victory.
The doughty little Diffenbaugh
came down the home stretch like
a thoroughbred golfer. He missed
the seventeenth green with his
drive, but Clipped into the cup
from off the edge of the carpet
for winning birdie deuce.
On the eighteenth it was just
like breaking sticks for George.
His good drive was capped by a
better second which was a bit
strong, but he Clipped dead and
got the par four with ease. And
that gentlemen; was something
the other players forgot to accom-
plish.
