THE SPORT
LIGHT
HIGHLY TOUTED "JOE LOUIS"
CLUB TO INVADE ST. PAUL
DECEMBER 18th
By Jimmy Lee

The basketball fans are in for a
good night of entertainment and a
good night of thrills when the Joe
Louis Athletic Club of Duluth
makes its first appearance at Hal
lie Q. Brown Friday, Dec. 18th.
This team up from the Head of the
Lakes (good old Duluth) will be
opposed by the Halle @. Brown
team, not bad themselves. This Du-
luth team will invade the Halle
with quite a reputation and all the
prospects of being a fast-clicking
team.
This is the second season this
team has played this together, hav-
ing won the championship last
year, they hope for repeater this
season with the same first string
men returning to the squad. This
team is the only Negro team in
Duluth, last season playing in the
church league they compiled a re-
markable record of Is winnings out
of 16 games to cinch the champion
ship in their division of their
league, then just to show they were
real champions, they up and beat
the champions of the eastern diW-
sion of the league two straight
games for the city championship.
Playing independently this marvel
team won Is and lost 5. The per-
sonnet of the team this season is
as follows: John Allen, center; Lee
Wiley, forward; Roman Wiley, for
ward; William Jones, guard; AL
bert Black, guard and captain.
Against this army of talent the
Halle will have the following lads
to try to stop the onrush of this
championship team: Bob Rife,
Donald Smith, Albert Stewart, Ed
ward Brown, John Cyrus, Maurice
Bellamy, Rufus Carson, Lawrence
Wycoff, Horace Brown, and Robert
Jones.
This will be Halle @. Browns
first "big" game Of the season,
many more are being planned. The
Halle @. girls will play the Wheat
ley girls in the first game of the
evening. This should be a very
good attraction; these girls always
put up a good battle. Dancing will
follow the games, admission will
be 35c for game and dance.

SALvACE OF
HIGH PROFIT
PLAN SOUGHT
Compr omiSe Offers
Way to Divide
Earnings

WASHINGTON, May 30.
(UP)-A new tax plan de-
signed to salvage the admin
istration theory of a high
reform tax on undivided
corporate profits was prepared to-
day for introduction in the senate
as a substitute for the finance
committees compromise revenue
measure.
Sen. Hugo L. Black, D., Ala.
who fought vainly for the admin
istration proposals in the commit
tee, worked on a minority report
embodying the substitute plan,
which would attempt tc meet cri-
ticism of the reform tax by Of
fering a method whereby corpora
tions could retain earnings but es-
cape the high super levy by dis
tribution of profits in a specified
form of new stock certificates.
Thus the corporations would be
able to avoid reform taxes but
the stock issue to stockholders
would be subject to income taxes.
The original house bill, embody-
ing the administration theory and
providing graduated tax up to
43l2 per cent on undistributed
profits was turned down by the
senate finance committee 1t ap-
proved a 15ta to 18 per cent tax
on earnings, a per cent super
tax on undistributed profits and
boosted py one per cent the pres
ent surtaXes on incomes starting
at $4,000.
