TODAYS
Sports Parade
BY HENRY MCLEMORE

MIAMI, Fla, March 13.U.P)-The
telephone buzzeo, and as my Jap
boy Rastus was out placing 81 for
us on something good in the sixth
at the fair grounds, l answered it
myself.
Are you there?' asked.
Am I there" a voice came back
Certainly I'm there. That is, I'm
here. Right here where I am And
I've got a story for you-a sweet
heart CT a story. A natural honey
I pulled out the pad and pencil
I have carried ever since I saw my
first moving picture about newspa
permen, and tilted my slouch hat
over my eyes. let my cigarette droop
from the corner of my mouth.
"Okeh," saio, shoot it along, and
it better be hot"
Its hot, all right the voice said.
Its a scoop. It's exclusive with
you. Amt nobody else got it."
With the word scoop my ears
perked up. I crouched forward in
my chair. I was on the verge of
a scoop! A scoop! The dream OF
every newspaperman. Through my
mind raced memories Of great scoops
other reporters has gotten. One sec
end spent the Pulitzer prize money
twice.
Lets have it,I said, trying to
keep my voice steady.
"Okeh," the voice answered. This
is it. Sophie Tucker-you know OF
Sophie. don't you? Well"
"Of course I know Sophie" l
yelled back. Whats she done?
Broken the altitude record in a
glider? Shot somebody with a
name? Tell me-tell me in a hur-
ry'
NO nothing like that" the voice
answered. Something bigger. Shes
discovered a new white hope heav-
weight. You know OF Sophie.
Last of the red hot mamaS. Best
blues singer in the world. Lon
don'S tavorite. Society's rage
My ears fell, like those Of a sheep
dog removed from his Scottish moor
and his tWeedy-shirted master. l
dropped my pencil, pushed my pad
away, and Strengthened my hat.
Sc that was all Sophie had dis
covered a white hope heavyweight.
Not even the voices description of
the discovery six feet three inches
tall. 226 pounds of bone and muscle,
and with a fighting heart just like
the fighting heart of the panthers
in the everglades where he vas born,
raised - and trapped -" could keep
alive my enthusiasm.
For in the first place, Sophie is
always threatening TO become as big
a figure in sports as she is in dress,
ana never delivering. 1t was only
last year that a voice very similar
to the one today disturbed me in
New York with the announcement
that Sophie intending buying the
then for sale Boston Braves.
The voice said it was a cinch-
SOPHIE would give up the stage and
devote the rest of her life to teach
ing pitchers control, shortstops how
to work a double play, and outfield-
ers how to take 'em on the Iun.
Baseball has always been Miss
fuckers first love- the voice eX-
planned and she wants to own a
real baseball team"
I remember asking the voice" at
the time why it was that Miss
Tucker, if she wanted a real base
ball team, was interested in the
Braves. Anyway, Sophie withdrew
her offer when she learned the
Braves really were for sale, with an
announcement that it was all mis-
take, and she regretted the publicity

Sledge bout in the El Centre are
ma next Thursday night.
Accused of Dodging
Sledge has been accused of dodg-
ing the japanese grappler and
wants a chance to show fans what
he can do to the clever Japanese
mailman.
Both Siedge ana Calza use an
unorthodox type of attack and
when these two get together there
will be some real fireworks.
Joe VarkoS has signed to meet
Gunda Singh in place of Moxos
who forfeited $50 to matchmaker
John Contos because he was un-
able to make the trip to El Centre.
Varkos is veteran of mat wars

his tremendous strength and rapid
improvement in the art of wres-
ting.

lighter. He licked Make Baer

weights
Kennedy uses his experience
gained in boxing to a decided ad
vantage in the wrestling ring and
has slapped several of the leading
grapplers to sleep in the last few
months.
Jose Mayo will meet Jerry Mon
ohan in the curtain raiser in a
tussle that will be plenty rough
and full of excitement
According to John Contos match
maker, this weeks card is another

PATTY FAVORABLE
TO ABOLISHMENT
OF POLL TAXES
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
IN ADDRESS CLAIMS 1T
SHOULD NOT BE MADE A
REQUIREMENT To VOTE

QUINCY. Fla. Lay 20.-Since
the poll tax has lecome nothing
more than a means % defraEding
the ballot, it should lie abolished,
or, if not abolished, it should not
be made a requirement to vote, b.
F. Pity, candidate for governor,
said here yesterday in an adj
dress before an attentive crowd
OF Gadsden county citizens.
THE more | study the poll tax.
the more am convinced il has be-
come of such extensive use IN
Florida as :. means Of fraudulently
controlling the ballot that II
should no longer be tolerated. "
Patty said. 1T is used both by
the man who pays polls to draw
votes for himself and by the man,
the poll tax racketeer, who mere
~ promises to pay the poll tax
for the voter when the voter is
for some candidate he doesn't
wish to see elected and then
doesn't do it. deliberately stealing
from the voter his RIGHT of fran
chise by false representation.
''FloIida is one of very few
states which continues to obstruct
free suffrage by requiring the
payment of a poll tax" he con-
tinued. II believe the payment
of poll tax should not be made
a prerequisite to the right to
vote. The poll tax not only Of
fers an obstacle to the movement
to encourage the free exercise
OF suffrage. Tut it IS quite fire.
quently q means Of controlling
elections. | shall recommend TO
the Legislature that the law re-
qui-ing payment OF a poll tax he
repealed"
Answering objections voiced to
the plan, Patty said, payment Of
the pol tax does not necessarily
limit voting to white. but that the
, law now on the statute books pre-
scribe the primary be white. and
"Florida. just as other southern
states have. will maintain white
supremacy as always. As to the
objection that the poll tax furn-
ishes a substantial fund to schools
, Patty pointed out, lone sash of
the act in trimming some Of our
1897 boards and commissions will
save ten times the amount brought
in by the poll tax.
