Walter Did It, But Sol Bloom Still Dubious

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. Feb. 25.-Regardless of what George Washington may have done, Walter Johnson, one of base balls alltime mighty, converted legend into actuality Saturday, Washington's birthday, when he threw dollar across the Rap pahannOck then repeated the process for good measure.

SPORT SLANTS

This is an Olympic year, and Olympic years bring fond memories to William (Torchy) Peden the husky, red-head Canadian who em- parked on New York's Goth siX-day bike race, which has started in Madison Square Garden.
 The Olympic games were entirely responsible for shaping Pc d n s career as a professional bicycle rider. Back in 1928, amateur ath- letes all over the world were pre- pairing to move on to Amsterdam for the Olympic meeting!
 The desire to do little travel ing stirred in MT. Peden, who was a resident of Vancouver, and he began casting about for means to satisfy his ambition He took inventory of his personal athletic capabilities. He had played rugby football in high school and with a city team, but Peden decided that he wasn't quite equal to winning a place on the Canadian Olympic team in that branch of sport.
 "Biked" to Olympics
 He might go out for the swim ming team. He had been quite a natator and had won prizes for his all-around ability in the water. But then Peden began to think about the comparative lack of competition for places on Canada's big team. He had been pushing the pedals around the streets of Vancouver for number of years, and his PA pounds generated considerable speed. He was strong as a young bull, and had boundless energy.
 So MT. Peden took to brushing up on his bike activities. and when the cycling team of the Dominion of Canada arrived in Holland, the big red-head was one of the first to rush down the gangplank. Since that time Peden has gone whirling around board tracks in six-day races from coast to coast, and in many European capitals.
 In the eight years that have passed since the 1928 Olympiad, Peden has finished first in 27 six day grinds, second 10 times, third five times and fourth 10 times.
 Although he is called Canadian, Torchy himself often asks, What am I?' and then goes on to ex- plain that his father is a Scotch man, born in Edinburgh; that his mothers people are IcelanderS, al- though she was born in North Da- kota; and Torchy himself first saw the light of day in Canada. The gentleman is something of an in- ternationalist
 Hill Joins Pros
 Another big, strapping fellow who is in there in the six-day grind in Madison Square Garden is Norman Hill, American outdoor all-around champion last year Like Peden, Hill served an apprenticeship in the amateur ranks before turning professional.
 Hill has had more than his share

couples. That "Major Bowles'

her favorite poem, which she is

It isn't the thing you did, dear,
It's the thing you left undone
Which gives me a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The little word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,

Are the haunting ghosts tonight.

Our daily papers in Minneapolis
have been indulging themselves
lately in belated Mysteries over the
Sumner Field housing project.
This interest, if manifested during
the time of real trouble incident
to the moving of Negro tenants
from this area, would have been
greatly appreciated and would
have served a very beneficial pur-
pose. AS it is, coming after the
difficulties have been overcome
and written without due investi-
cation, the alleged facts are faulty
to degree, and serve only to stir
friction and misunderstanding.
Jewish home owners in the vicinity
did increase rentals, and in many
cases refused to rent to the col
ored people at any price. This
phase Of the trouble was quietly
cared for by those whose duty it
was to watch developments. Proper
pressure removed prejudice in
some quarters. Some of the ten
ants were able to make satisfac-
tory arrangements for themselves
in the neighborhood. Homes have
been found for everyone. While
the section has been almost COM
pletely cleared, no house was de-
molished while still in use by ten

ants. People who lived in the sec
ton will have first choice in NOV
ing back into the new homes as
they are completed. Registration
of such intention must of course
be made. Blanks for this pur-
pose may be had at the Phyllis
Wheatley House or the Urban
League.
Notwithstanding its small num-
bers, the cOlOred population of Du-
luth has developed a community
spirit that might well be the envy
of cities, centers of much larger
Negro life. 1t supports large and
militant N. A. A. C. P. 1t sent
a delegate to the National Negro
congress at its initial meeting in
Chicago. / had the pleasure of
meeting this delegate there, Mr..
Joseph Albright, whose keen I'M
derstanding of the matters before
the congress-, and whose active
participation helped bring them to
fruition not only won my admit
ration but made him one of the out
standing figures in the congress.
If Duluth has many men of his
caliber, it is easy to understand
it's unusual cooperative racial in
tegrity.
