Boat Excursion
All Set For
July Fourth

The first boat excursion of the
summer season will be- held Satur-
day night, July 4, under the au-
spices of the popular Minneapolis
group, the Gloom Chasers Social,
Literary and Art Club.
Engaged for the trip down the
river is the steamer Donna Mae,
which is used daily by hundreds of
excursionists. Three groups who
chartered the boat last year suf-
fered because of rumors spread by
rival promoters who sought to les
sen the boat crowd. A check by
this newspaper with U. S. naviga-
ton authorities proved rumors of
the boats poor condition absolute
ly false. Over two hundred white
groups used the boat last year.
The Gloom Chasers have char
tered the steamer because they felt
sure the public wanted something
different in the way of public en-
tertainment. An advance sale of
tickets indicates a large crowd will
attend the affair. See the ad in
this paper for other details. The
boat leaves foot of Washington
Avenue bridge at p. m.
The Social Twelve is holding it's
regular meeting at the home of

HERE and
THERE
By W. M. Smith

~9cQkeSqeEDlKcSQS0SK SSS"SoNko9V<0DPS~SNs0S
The fog that has envelOped the
Schmeling- Louis battle begins to
show some faint signs of clearing
up. The experts, who almost to
man insisted that Schmeling had
no chance, those experts who are,
in large measure, responsible for
the fog in which so many fight
fans found themselves, are stand
ing by their guns and declaring
that if it was given to them again
to pass judgment, with the same
records to base it upon, they
would render the self-same deci-
sion. One of them even goes so
far as to say, There's something
funny about that fight and I can't
tell what it is"
That's important in that it
voices the sentiment of many of
OOS OWu pSOplS.
Anxious to find some reason for
the failure of their idol to make
good, they have voiced some won
derfully fascinating rumors. Per-
haps the most weird is this: Adolf
Hitler, dictator of the German en-
pire, sent for Schmeling and gave
him a subtle poison. The fumes
coming from his gloves and strik-
ing Louis nose would weaken tho
not kill him. This accounts, says
rumor, both for the unexpected
courage of Schmeling and the
faint-hearted blows sent out by the
previously invulnerable Joe Louis.
Of course, one can't accept any
such fantastic explanation of this
mysterious battle, for mysterious
it is in the face of any explana-
ton, no matter how logical, but a
much more likely theory is that
Joe and JOe's trainers both were
lured into OvercOnfdence because
of the ease and unfailing regular
ity of his recent battles. Joe got
a highly magnified idea of his own
prowess and thus thought it I'M
necessary to study for that right
hand of Max.
Didn't the experts say that Joe's
left would just about massacre Max
every time he sent out that right?
And isn't it true that Joe was care
less with his eating and possibly
his sparring mates did not give him
the severe workouts he needed, not
withstanding all the papers had to
say about it?
This much, however, is certain,
whatever the future may disclose:
There's no discounting the things
Joe Louis has done. He has made
the most remarkable record in
prize ring history; he has defeated
the acknowledged best men in the
game; he has provided the needed
spur to jaded prize fight enthusi-
asm and brought to view once
more the profitable gates. And
through it all he never lost his
head, never disgraced himself or
his people. He has been a fine in
SEPARATION to his own young race
boys and has eradicated prejudice
from the minds of hundreds and
hundreds of white people. He has
been the most unusual and the
most valued influence in behalf of
race relations that the century has
produced.
After all, there was something
funny about that fight. I don't
understand it.
