Beauty To Spare In Rio

On p ar d e
(By HOMER JONES)

While scouting around the popu-
lar night spots, to see and hear the
well-known entertainers during the
weekend, fate played me a queer
trick, in urging me TO visit the
Tuxedo Grill. Before one can en-
ter when the spot is crowded, it
is necessary to stand in line. On
reaching the interior, the customer
buys his ticket, after which a young
man, whose name is unknown to
the writer at this time, is the chap
to usher the patron to a seat; but
his manners are terrible, as far as
representatives of the press are con-
cerned. One would think that Il
man with such responsibilities as
a floor manager, would be more
polite than the young man at the
Tuxedo. The show, under the di-
rection of Billboard Jackson, Jr.
and John Mellow Ashcan" LaRue,
is we'll received by patrons. The
cast includes Hattie Lloyd, Kitty
Wade, Hazel Porter, Reba Moore,
and Alberta Wilson. Billie Stew
art, is M. c., while Jimmie Peo-
pies and his Rhythm Maniac"
furnish the music.
The show at the Tuxedo was pro-
duced by two of the oldest men
in the business, who have enjoyed
the spotlight, along with numerous
headliners.
Jimmie Barbar and Flo Madison
have apparently decided to make
real thing out of love. In a re-
cent statement to this writer, Bar
bar stated that il will be a team
from now on, and no more singles.
Well, good luck, old boy. They al
ways told me that business and love
don't mix, but guess it is different
with you. Hope you make a great
success of the team idea.

SCRIBLINGS
Cby w. L. Patrick, Jr.)

Last Saturday night, your cor
respondent, in company with sew
eral other representatives of the
Negro Press, had the pleasure OF
being present at the City of Cham
pions banquet, sponsored by the
Detroit Times in the Masonic Tenn
pie. There we were under the very
roof and between the same four
walls that housed the greatest ar
ray of champions ever produced by
any one city, and ever assembled
upon one occasion, and it seemed
right queer that they looked no diff
ferent than the everyday man and
woman.
Over at the champs table, Mick
ey Cochrane, fiery manager of the.
Tigers; Potsy Clark, loquasious
coach of the Detroit Lions; Jack
Adams, boss of the Red Wings;
Gar Wood, Detroit's oldest and
most pronounced champion, and
host of others were seen, and in
the vortex of these celebrities, sat
Joseph Louis Barrow, calm, COL
lected, and unruffled by the many
laudations bestowed upon him
throughout the night by his con-
temporaries and admirers.
Gar Wood was high in his
praise of the fighter, as were Dom.
ME Hughes Olympics hockey coach,
Clark, and Bud Shaver, Times
sport editor, who presided over the
proceedings as POSTMASTER.
Shaver, tr cd u CT g Louis,
showered praise on the latter for
his fine craftsmanship during the
Baer fight, when at the end of one
of the rounds, Baer pretending not
to have heard the bell, shot series
of i'll intentioned blows at Louis.
'As l looked into Louis eyes af-
ter this barrage," said Shaver, II
saw none of that killer nor any of
that Tiger that critics had G himed
he had, but there was a sligA sign
of annoyancesor pity in tho Eyes.

Following this fine introduction,
the Bomber took the mike" and
voiced his appreciation briefly TO
the 600 fans assembled in the hall;
he also promised to have the off,
cial heavyweight crown in his pos
session before the year was out.
For some undetermined reason,
Eddie Tolan, world famous sprin-
ter, was not present; however, the
1 tie Splinter had performed back in
1882, warranted a great ovation
which the fans deservedly render
ed.
1t is recognition like this accord
ed Louis and Tolan, that inspires
the Negro to super human efforts
which have rocketed so many of
our stars to athletic heights en-
joyed by great athletes of other
racial groups.
1T LOOKS LIKE:
Lorenzo Pack is about ready to
sign up for another fight.
Leroy Haynes is just about ready
to take on Louis after his sensa-
tional X. o. victory of Matte

~HAT forthcoming Middle At
lantic Junior championship,
billed for Congressional on
i September 9, probably will find
all the boys around Washington who
haven't reached their majority play
ing for the crown. Under the original
set-up of the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association, which will hold its first
Junior affair this year, the tourney
was billed for boys between the ages
of IL and II, which meant that boys
: who have reached their 18th birthdays
wouldn't be eligible.
OUCH an age limit would shut out
lads like Billy Shea, the Mary
land junior champ; Harvey johnson.
the Columbia champ; Jack Barr Of
Columbia, and Billy Dettweiler of
Congressional, all of whom haven't
yet become of voting age but are past
18. or will be. Shea will be 18 years
old on August 80. And fairly definite
ly 1t would make the tournament more
or less a walk-over for 17-year-old
Bobby Brownell of Manor, the present
District junior champ. Also it would
bar such sharpshooting juniors as

tee shot until he holed the winning
putt. Rippy Is pleasant enough. but
he wouldn't wear out any listener S
ears with a drum-fre of conversation.
And Rippy can slap a spade msshie
shot up against the pin with the same
dead pan that Voigt had.
Any way you take him, Rippy is
another Voigt. And he may become
an even better golfer than the Bright

golfng heights, and even today is one
of the better amateurs of the world.

TO WATCH Rippy hit tee shot you
wouldn't think the guy could last
against good opposition. His swing is
sound and compact, and he hits the
ball long way, and straight. He
probably got the habit from playing
on the sandy tees of the public courses
in shots without spikes, but his last
movement before he beginse the up
swing is a backward movement of his
right foot. In base ball they would
say he hits the ball with his foot in
the bucket. But he hits 'em and he
hits 'em hard and accurately.
Give Claude Rippy a couple of years
playing the better private courses and
he would go long way in golf, per-

Nothing has been done about the
age limit yet, but it is altogether
likely that the men who manage the
affairs Of the Middle Atlantic As
sociation will raise the age limit to
include boys who haven't reached
their 21st birthday. The tourney will
be a 36-hole medal play affair.
From the interest already evident
on every side in the sectional tests
for the national amateur champion
ship you can count on banner entry
list in the tests to be held at Colum-
bia August IS, with possibly 100 aspir-
ants entered in the tourney. The
reason is that the championship itself

Goes to Post a Dangerous
Dark Horse in Public
Links Classic.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

"OUR years ago the young man
- was known around the hat
precincts of East Potomac Park
as a rather precocious fellow
who had a standing offer to any
golfer-amateur or pro-to play or
lS holes for any amount.
It sounded goofy, inasmuch as no
one outside the public courses knew
much about him, but he made 1t stick
with a series of dazzling rounds that
had any one who matched shots with
him standing on his ears.
Today that same gent is at Beth
page State Park, Farmingdale, Long
Island, billed as the dark horse of the
national public links championship
tournament which opens tomorrow
with more than 200 products Of the
pay-as-you-play courses to start in
the chase for the crown worn by thin
faced, wiry little frankie Strafaci, out
of Brooklyn.
Claude Rippy, captain Of the Wash
ington Harding Cup team and local
public links titleholder, will be play
, Ing in his third national public links
title tournament this week. A lanky,
string bean type of guy. worn down to
muscle and bones by constant golf in
the hot sun, the lad who came up
from Shelby, N. c., to become a
standout among the municipal players
of the Capital. is just about ready to
win himself a national championship.
Four to Represent D. c.
CERTAINLY there won't be a better
~ shctmaker in the gang on Long
Island this week than this same
Rippy, the 23-year-old fellow who
played 70 holes over par II course
in 274 strokes a few days ago.
Two or three rounds of the type
he showed on the last day of the local
public links title tourney, and Rippy
will be tabled as the guy to lick in
the national. He played courses B and
G at East Potomac in 66 and 68 for a
total of 1874
Rippy is only one of four men sent

chicken merchant who plays golf
about a dozen times year and always
continues to make the team; Bobby
Burton, a Navy Yard mechanic, and
Pat Axtell, lanky Texan who vends
sandwiches at hot-dog stand on
Connecticut avenue. They are good
but Rippy is the big shot.
The Rippy man certainly is as good
at the present stage of his links
career as was George Voigt when the
former Walker Cup star was slipping
away from his menial job in the
Treasury late afternoons a dozen
years ago to work out over that same

The parallel extends even further
