THE FIGHT MANAGER

The success John Roxborough
and Julian Black have had in han
ding the boxing affairs of Joe
Louis has brought praise from ma
ny sources and has caused many
people to think of this as the first
instance of its kind where Negro
had successfully piloted the affairs
Of one of their own in the squared
circle.
Just to keep the record straight,
we would like to call attention to
the fact that John Henry Lewis,
worlds light heavyweight champ
ion, is under the management of
Gus Creenlee Of Pittsburgh, who
also happens to be colored.
Back in the early 192O's the pre-
sent exalted ruler Of Monarch
Lodge of EIks of Harlem, S. T..
Saxon, was fight manager. He
piloted a young southern light
weight, whom he called Kid Rux.
And about the same time George
Moore from the Pacific Coast was
making bid for fistic honors for
Danny Edwards, then a promising
featherweight. Both these manag
ers were just as conscientious as
Roxborough and Black and did ev-
erything they could to further the
interest Of their boxers. But it
seems that the time was not ripe
for the Negro fight manager to
come into his own.
In those days Tex Richard, a
southerner, dominated boxing in
the East and Tex could never
bring himself to talk on equal
terms with Negro even though
he got his start as a promoter by
staging the Jack Johnson-Jim JEFF
ferries bout at Reno, Nevada. AS
long as Tex lived, the Negro IVES
kept down in boxing circles, and
It was mostly this sinister influ-
ence of the tall Texan that pre-
vented Jack Dempsey from fight
ing Harry Wills for the heavy
weight tito at time when there
was a real demand for such a bout.

lice that while she was walking
north on Delaware Avenue South

containing 81, some change and
other items. The men escaped
before she could summon help.
Linda Vettori, Of 2316 First St.
N. W., reported that while walk
ing on Emerson Street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth North
west, her purse was taken by two
men who fled in an automobile.
Her purse contained keys, papers,
gold trimmed eyeglasses, a rosary
and $3.50 in cash.

lLacy was the barkeeper who mixed
his cocktails.
At that time King Edward YER
bally gave Mr.. Lacy the recipe fol
his favorite cocktail, and Mr.. Lacy
has saved it for posterity. The
recipe as repeated by him fol
lows:
"One-fifth Italian verm0uth,
fOur-fifthS Coates Plymouth gin
(Only Coates will do, Mr.. Lacy
says), three malaga grapes. A
lump of ice is added and the
mixture shaken vigorously for Is
seconds. The shaking breaks the
grapes and imparts q delicate
aroma Of malaga to the mixture.
The mixture is poured through
a strainer into a chilled glass;"
Mr.. Lacy declares that of the
$500 cocktails he knows exist, the
Kings favorite is the best. Mr.
Lacy is at present the "barkeep"
at the new University Club.

CABINET AIM
GET THE KING
ISCHARGE

LONDON, Dec. 10 QN.S)
Practically charging that Mrs
Simpson was used as q means Il
drive King Edward from th'
throne Of Britain, the British
weekly journal, The Week, today
declares that the "criSiS goes fal
deeper than that"
The Week explains that dis
satisfaction with the King has
grown in the national cabinet vir
tually ever since he became King
because Of his interference in
matters Of state" by opposing the
cabinet in domestic affairs and
even in its foreign policies.
Untrue" Stories
Discussing the King and the con
Stitutional crisis The Week said:
There can be no doubt that
from the beginning Of October
there flowed from official and
semiOfficial sources q series of
stories and rumOrs, . number Of
them patiently untrue, all highly
diScrediting to the King
Their intensity and virulence
was most materially increased
after the Kings visit to South
Wales.
The main complaints were
... that the King was entirely
neglectful of his duties and also
that he was continually interfer-
ing In state affairs and opposing
the cabinet not only in the in
duStRial areas but also in its for
eign policy ..
ut Is certain that members
Of the national government were,
apart from the Simpson matter,
dissatisfied with the Kings con-
duct Of his office and were in
fSvOr Of his removal.
This being so there Is At least
. presumption that the crisis
was engineered at this particular
time with the object not only Of
removing Mrs. Simpson but also
Of controlling or alternativeIy
removing the King.
"a generous estimate Of the
Kings supporters gives him only
20 to so votes in commons. The
sm@lmesS Of the number is ex-
planned partly by the whisper
ing campaign against the King
ana partly by the bungling Of
the Kings own publicity.
"GOES FAR DEEPER"
The main undisclOSed fact
behind the crisis is that the
quarrel between the King and
the cabinet goes far deeper
than the Simpson affair and
for that reason Mrs. Simpsons
actions and personality are not
Of decisive importance. :.
''In view of the fact that some
four weeks ago Mrs. Simpson
lunched with Queen Mary and
in view of the fact that it was
understood afterward that the
Queen had privately expressed
approval Of the Kings friend
ship with Mrs. Simpson, the
cabinets attitude is only ex-
pIAinable If the premise is &C
cepted that the cause of the
quarrel Is far deeper, and that
Mrs. Simpson Is the occasion
rather than the cause Of It."
