The Sports Roundup
BY DAN hurley
Cor AMP

Chicago, June 20, (ANP)-Let's
do some summarizing and master
minding about this here Braddock.
Baer e~mbroglio. Let's take an i'm
~aginative trip behind the scenes and
see what we can scare out from the
tall weeds Of insinuation; whispers
and thinly yelled charges now being
bruited about and then do a little
predicting.
First, we have a new heavyweight
worlds champion in James j. Brad
dock, the Irishman from Jersey
City. Secondly, we have al ex-
champion in the person of Max Baer,
German-Jewish Californian. Thirdly
we have a national boxing commits
sion to make final decisions and
fourth we have a young man named
Joe Louis as the fly in the ointment,
the motivating force, and what else
have you.
Now | wasn't there to witness this
championship fight. A lot of you
weren't either, but distance has no
effect on smell if the odor is strong
enough. Bear me in mind, I'm TAX
ing the words of the experts that
Braddock did his share; that he
fought like n inspired, doggedly
and determinedly to acquire the title.
But how can a man lose when he's
fighting a fellow who won't fight?
You know the white folks don't
want another Negro champion de-
spite all the efforts and opinions of
u own Arch Ward and his compe-
tent staff on the Chicago Tribune.
If, in some way, heavyweight champ
ionship bouts could be ordered held
in Chicago and Detroit, then there
might be a chance for a black boy
to grab the crown. In New York?
Never!
Baer had signified his intention to
fight Joe Louis if the money was
big enough and when he felt Louis
was ready for him. Admittedly in
need of coin, Baer would have taken
Louis on in September if Joe beats
Camera and the purse was at
tractive.
But Baer's management, despite
Max's r~antings, couldn't see their boy
in there trading lefts and right
crosses with a Negro. Neither could
the white folks down south, nor the
ones in the North who haven't for
gotten Jack johnson.
Big money is in prize fighting. A
mar car win a million dollars in fiji
teen minutes in a ring or less with a
pair of battered ears, a bloody nose
and a sweaty skin to show as to the
effort he put forth. Gamblers have
to have money to operate. Gamblers

Atlanta, Ga, June 20.-ANP-
Angelo Herndon will not go to

Iowa Bystander
Celebrates And.
Anniversary

The Iowa Bystander, published in
the interests of colored people at
DesMoines, Iowa, is one of the old
est weeklies in the United States to-
day. Twenty-eight years after the
surrender of General Lee to General
Grant at Appomatox, the closing
drama of the North-South conflict,
the Iowa Bystander came into exist
ence in the Old Register Block on
June 8, 1894.
The founders were Charles S.
Ruff, editor; Thaddeus S. Ruff, as
sociate editor; Joseph H. Shepard,
manager; John D. Reeler, treasurer.
Ben J. Holmes, E. T. Banks, James
Todd, William Coalson, T. E. Bar
ton and Jeff Logan were the direc-
tors.
The paper was a "sideline" for the
uplift of the race rather than for
p~ecuniary benefit and founded on the
principles Of the Republican party.
"These Solons had served in the war
and were eager to make amends to
the Negroes" Mr.. Huff reminisced.
There were only twenty outstand-
ing papers in existence then. In
Guided in them were the New York
Age, Indianapolis Freeman, Wash
ington America, Richmond Planet,
Philadelphia Tribune, Topeka Plain
Dealer and several church publica-
tons.
In March, 1885, The Peoria Trans
cript Journal, white daily, awarded a
membership medal for so years of
service in the Typographical Union
to Charles Ruff.
Backed by the Bystander's influ-
ence, John Reeler, lodge official I'M
til his death in 1881, was elected file
clerk in the Senate and H. r.
Wright, prominent attorney who died
in 1882, was file clerk in the House,
the only colored men ever employed
there.
with the cooperation and support
Of Iowa Negroes now, the Bystander
could do even more than they did
forty years ago." Mr.. Huff con-
cluded.

in Photography.

Harry f. Clark, associate photog-
rapher with the Bretzman Studio,
1917 Fletcher Trust bldg, has had
more than % years experience in
the commercial photography field,
all in Indianapolis.
Because of this, he is we'll pre-
pared to photograph practically any
subject, and he has his own eXcep-
tionally Well-equipped studio devot-
ed exclusively to the commercial
field.
According to Mr. Clark many fac
tors must be considered carefully if
a good photograph is to be obtained.
Proper lighting and the correct tim
ing of exposure in all probability
are the most important of these fac
tors. However, there remains the
proper development to make a good
print and one must consider the
careful washing of the prints for
permanent photographs.
In the advertising field, Mr.. Clark
explained, punctuality is an impor-
tant feature. With agencies and
advertisers working at high speed
1t is vitality necessary that prints be
delivered when promised.
