SPORTORIAL
rARLEM-sPoRTs CAPITAL

Harlem win be the Sports Capt.
tai Of America this summer, If pre-
sent plans carry through. Attic
the Yankee Stadium is located in
the Borough of the Bronx, It is just
across the Harlem River and is IN
walking distance of the large Me-
gro colony. This stadium win in
augurate the sport season in June
with the Joe Louis-M Max Schmeling
fight, which win be witnessed by
at least 100000 fans. The stadium
has been enlarged to seat that mum
Der of fight fans.
The worlds largest stadium is
being built on Randall's Island.
which is located at the entrance
Of Harlem River facing 125th ST
This stadium will seat 10000 and
is being erected with WPA funds
as a part Of the Tri-borough bridge
project, which Is costing the city
and federal government S47.00O.-
600. This bridge is scheduled to
open July 10 and the stadium will
be completed by that time and win
be dedicated with the final Olym-
pic trials, which win bring the
cream OF the nations track stars
to New York.
Then there are the other base
ball parks the Polo Grounds, To-
Gated in Harlem, and the Dyckman
Oval at the end of the Harlem Ri
yer Speedway where the New York
Cubans have their headquarters.
Some great baseball games are an
ticipated at these parks and the
dope now is that the Giants will
win the National League pennant
and the New York Cubans end the
season leading the Negro National
League.
Since the Elks are coming to
New York (Brooklyn) for their
annual convention in August, an
other Joe Louis fight is in the off
ing for around that time, and since
the largest stadiums are in the
Harlem area, it is probable that
this bout will also go to Yankee
Stadium.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

THE fear of the Lord is the be-
ginning of wisdom: and the knoWl-
edge of the holy is understanding"
This verse from the Proverbs is
the Golden Text in the lesson
sermon on Mind" on Sunday in
all Christian Science churches,
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, in Boston, Mass.
A Scriptural citation in the les
son-sermon includes these verses
from jeremiah: Blessed is the
man that trusteth in the Lord, and
whose hope the Lord is o
Lord, the hope of Israel, all that
forsake thee shall be ashamed, and
they that depart from me shall be
written in the earth, because they
have forsaken the Lord, the foun-
tain of living waters. Heal me, Q
Lord, and I shall be healed save
me, and I shall be saved: for thou
art my praise
One of the correlative passages
from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, states: IF we under
stood the control of Mind over
body, we should put no faith in
material means. Science not only
reveals the origin of all disease as
mental, but it also declares that all
disease is cured by divine Mind.
