OUR LYNCHING RECORD

Tuskegee Institute has just announced that during the
first months of this year. four Negroes were lynched
in this country
Although this number is somewhat smaller than
the lynchings in other years. it is still too large In
so-called civilized country like there should be no
lynchings
Despite the petition of the N. A. A. c. P and the APP
peal which Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell made to
Congress in April for antynch legislation action in
che matter was taken.
Addressing Congress- Representative Mitchell said:
'There is not a in this house but who knows
strongly oppose ynching and how deeply interested
am in the early passage of bill which will make this
crime punishable by Federal law enacted by this Con-
gress
81 know much progress has been made in the way of
removing prejudice and securing support for this egsa
ton shall continue to work for the passage of this BILL
and the passage of other bills which have introduced,
that have their purpose removing njustices from
which my people suffer-"
We sincerely hope that the next Congress will enact
Federal anti-ynch law which will prove the only effec
tive means preventing awless mobs from shedding the
blood of defenseless American citizens.

SPORT
SCRIBBLINGS
(By william Il. Patrick, Jr.)


The heavyweight picture, so
furnishing with so-called "black
menaces," has changed consider
ably in the past three weeks; for
now all three of the current
"menaces" have been stripped OF
their threatening powers for the
present at least.
JOe's Defeat
The defeat of Joe Louis at the
hands of Max Schmeling of course
dropped him from the roll of i'm
mediate contenders for the crown
now resting rather insecurity up
on the head of the official cham
pion, James j. Braddock; but Joe
is young and has ample chance
to recuperate from this defeat and
comeback greater than ever; there
fore little need be said of this bat
tie for what happened on that
night" is now puguistic history.
Next in line Games Leroy Hay
mes who as a result of his smash
ing triumph over the "Ambling
Alp" Primo Carnero, became para
mount as a rival of Louis for the
number 1 menace" and contend
er; however Haynes met his Max
Schmeling in the person of Al Ell
tore in the immediate wake of the
Louis vanquishment.
Ettore had twice before beaten
the Philadelphia battler, but was
expected to repeat his past perfor-
nance due to his weary defeat by
Carnero.
In his debut here several months
ago, Ettore gave a very unimpres-
sive exhibition of boxing in win
ming an unpopular decision over
the westerner, Ford Smith.
However the giant Ettore east
ly outpointed the willing Haynes
in ten fast bruising rounds, taking
nine of them and never being in
danger.
Thus is the story of the fall of
menace NO. Z.
Trammel Loses Prestige
On the night of June 20 at
Youngstown, Ohio, Jack Trammell
promising heavy from the Buckeye
State, met Charley Belanger, Can
adam champion and veteran of
more than 300 fights. After
rounds Of fighting that saw Bel
LANCER leading on points by con-
Portable margin when he was
struck in the eye and was unable
to return in the seventh to resume
, fighting and therefore giving the
fight to Trammell on a technical
X. O.
This victory is no star in the
crown of the Ohioan, for Bellangel
is nothing more than a trial
horse" and met defeat at the hands
of Detroit's Roscoe Toles two
months ago, in a battle that saw
the veteran no match for his sharp
hitting opponent. Toles, by the
way, as a result of this win has
elevated himself to the role of a
possible menace. He is a youth
full fighter of much promise and
once stayed 6 rounds with Joe
Louis.
On the same card, Kid Chocolate,
former champion and one time
great fighter, was defeated by an
unknown, Johnny Berak, in the
third round, thus shattering again
the comback hopes of the "Keed.'
Since his descending from the
feather crown, he has tried sever
al comebacks, but they have al
ways ended this way, following
the old legendary axiom, you
can't comeback"
