of the leading ofay orchestras fight

the fine work in the line of the

Joe Louis Brown Bombers"
ace soft ball team, staged come
back of their own last Sunday af-
ternoon at Mack Park, when they
outplayed the strong Olbru team,
81, to avenge the 1874 setback by
the latter outfit earlieer in the
season. George Fields, ace Bonn
Der hurler, was on the mound and
limited the brewers to hits. HUI
bert "Fatstuff" Payne, snappy
Bomber slugger, contributed a
homerun to aid his teams cause.
Joe was not there to see his
boys triumph as he was over in
Philadelphia winding up his train
ing for his battle with Al Ettore.
The two teams met several weeks
ago in a softball tourney with Old
bru emerging the victors, 1874, to
hand the highly touted Bombers
their worst defeat of the season.
The game was played at night un-
der the glare of the floodlights at
Mack Park and these bright lights
were believed to be the reason for
the defeat Louis, who played in
the first part of the game holding
down the initial sack, was reported
to have said after the game that
he knew his team would win should
the two teams meet by daylight.
Well it seems as if Joe has called
another "shot" just as he has done
several times before in the ring.
The Brown Bombers" are col
orful aggregation, possessing
spark; speed, power, and will to
win as they proved last Sunday.

Metropolitan Detroit high school
teams are rapidly rounding into
shape for their opening tests in
the next two weeks. Another hot
race for city honors is expected
with such schools as Hamtramck,
Northeastern, Cooley, and North
western boosting sterling outfits.
The former two schools must be
watched with special emphasis as
they were the cp-holders of the
city title last year and are famous
for the strong teams that they turn
out.
With the loss of Peter Stancil
through ineligibility, Hamtramck
will be without a Race member to
take the place of last years hon
orary captain, Jim McMillen.
Stancil, who was a second string
end in 1885, was scheduled for a
regular berth this year when he
was found to be delinquent in his
studies. The Cosmos have a new
coach this year in Floyd Stocums
who is succeeding the veteran Hal
Shields. The latter has accepted
position to coach the Detroit
Tech team.

Even Oze Simmons, who weighed
ITO in 1884, begged down and 1t
was not until last year, at 1856, that
he could go through the whole
season.
At Northwestern last spring an
other youth tagged Benjamin JEFF
ferson was being groomed as
sure sensation this fall. Jefferson,
a big 100 pound back from Michi-
gan, was said to be a world OF
stuff. However, he has not been
mentioned since practice began
few days ago.
But what a game that would
make: Hinton and jefferson in the
Northwestern backfield; Oze Sim
mons, Wallace and Lane in the
Iowa backfield and Don Simmons
and Harris on the line!
However, plenty of other uni
versities will have their colored
stars. Minnesota's powerhouse Is
depending on Dewight Reed, last
years letterman at end, to prove
even more outstanding. With Reed
in the line may be Horace Bell,
brother of the Ohio State tackle of
a few years ago. Bell, who suf-
fered a brokan nose in practice
last week, will see plenty of action
as a guard. But more of Minneso-

Oze Simmons, better known as
"Ossie", is reported to be rounding
into great shape out a Iowa and is
expected to ascend to new grid
iron heights this year. Earlier in
the year it was feared that Gallop-
ing Oze would not be able to return
to college for some reason, that
escapes us right now, but to his
great band of admirers from coast
to coast the news of his return to
Iowa was greeted cheerfully.
Simmons missed the selection to
the official All American team last
year, but is expected to come
through this year to become the
first Negro from Iowa since the
day of Duke Slater.

World of
SPORTS
THEY'LL DOT THE
NATION,S GRIDIROES
(By F. M. Davis for AMP

Chicago-This is the week when
college football swings into action
throughout the nation. The eyes of
Duskymerica will be focused on
Iowa university where Oze Sim
mons, the Hula Hipped Hawkeye
Hog Hide Handler, will be making
his supreme and final bid for ALL
American recognition and where
three or four more sepia athletes
are out for the team.
Iowa starts Saturday in a warm
up game with little Carleton col
lege. This will give observers a
line on what to expect and lays
the groundwork for the little get
together with Northwestern univer-
sity in Evanston the following Sat
urday, Oct. 3.
1t was two years ago in October
that Simmons first leaped into ma
tional fame by running the North
western Wildcats ragged. He had
beefy linemen tackling one another
in their sincere but fruitless eff.
forts to stop the Sepia Sprite. Last
year he did not fare so sensation
ally, but even though a most de-
cidely marked man he did keep the
huge crowd thrilled by his dervish
dances and his CREASED hips.
Outside of this being his final
appearance before Chicagoans,
there will be still another point OF
interest in the game. There is
every chance in the world that at
least five Negro players will be on
the field at one and the same time
And that ought to in itself set a
record of some sort for collegiate
circles.
At Iowa, in addition, to the
Wizard of Oze, there is Don Sim
mons, a brother, who plays end ;
Homer Harris, another end, and
Wilbur Wallace, quarterback
Wallace won two letters at his po-
sition several years ago and has
returned for the 1886 campaign
The combination of Wallace and
Fullback Simmons should provide
sufficient deception to keep opon-
ents befuddled. Where in the past
70 oil
just one dark face, now they will
have two and might easily tackle
the wrong man-especially if it's
true that "all Negroes look alike
to white people" lE.
AS a matter Of fact, there was
still a fifth Negro listed last veal
as a backfield possibility. He was
a lad named Lane, who comes from
California. Observers in spring
training called him another OZC
Simmons. Your columnist awaits
word from Iowa authorities as Il
whether he is a candidate for tht
team or has dropped out. If pre-
sent, he likewise bears watching.
Northwestern has a sepia half
back named Clarence Hinton. Las
year this lad as sophomore saw
little action but is being groomeC
to do big things in the presen
campaign. Although Hinton is ad

the squad, he is handicapped By

In all fairness Stacy has done
even more baking than either
Teddy or Benny at taking credit
for the work of another. Wilson
was persuaded to go through with
the recording after much protest.
Benny Goodman himself raised
strenuous objections but his hands
were tied because of his contract.
Bullheaded Paramount officials re-
fused to reconsider. They are the
ones who must bear the brunt OF
this action-which is an insult to
both colored America and the en-
tire music profession.
Teddy is acclaimed by most cri-
tics as the greatest jazz pianist In
the world today, although he is
still a couple of years shy of %. He
has appeared on many records
made by the entire Benny Good
man band. Platters of the Goodman
trio which, in addition to Benny on
clarinet and Teddy on piano fea-
ture Gene Krupa on drums, have
become swing classics and even
outsell discs made by the whole
band.
A few months ago the master OF
the clarinet broke all precedent
and flatly overstepped popular Ia
boos by making Teddy a regular
member of the orchestra. Good
man was playing in Chicago at the
time and Wilson was brought here
from New York. He appeared with
the ensemble at the big Congress
hotel and took part in that series
of Elgin broadcasts. When Good
man went to California so did Ted
dy. If the public has resented the
idea of Negro playing with an
otherwise white orchestra, it has
failed to become generally known.
There is no sensible reason IN
the world why musicians of SINH
lar talents can't perform together
openly. For years recording or
chestas have been interracial. Some
of the strongest friendships ever
established have been between
and colord artists. An orchestra is
supposed to present dance music
in the best manner it knows and
not Hitler propaganda.
Recently in New York at the
Hickory House, a Gotham capital
Of swing music, Joe MARSHA the
clarinetist and Eddie Condor the
banjoist-both white-installed a
band. The trumpter was Otis John
son, colored and no secret. On the
first two nights Henry "Red' AL
len, ace trumpet king of the Mills
Blue Rhythm band, sat in with the
group. This band worked we'll and
satisfied all. They remained togeth-
