AN EDHO ORAL.
Sour Grapes, Eth?

The implied captious criticism Of
the Joe Louis visit here with the
attendant unfavorable publicity
regarding his supposed
to "run out" on the program and
his visit to the legislature coming
as it has from rival newspapers of
THE MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE
leave a bad taste in the mouths of
those who believe in good sports
manship and fair-play.
The news story in THE MINNIE
APOLIS STAR of Friday which al
legged Louis and Black threatened
to leave the Minneapolis Audito-
rum before his time to appear in
the ring exhibition has been de-
MED both by George Barton of
the TRIBUNE and Julian Black,
Louis manager. To the average
reader the STARS evidently I'M
founded story smacked of petty
jealousy.
THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUR-
NAILS editorial criticism of the
legislature recessing for the Louis
visit also comes with poor grace.
We are entitled to our opinion
which leads US to- believe that the
JOURNAL would not have criti-
cized the legislature had the color
of the boxer honored been of diff
ferent hue.
Members of the legislature are
human beings who like sports, the
theatre and all the other amuse=
ments which ordinary Americans
enjoy. President Roosevelt took
time out to chat with Louis when
he visited the national capital.
Presumably he is as busy a man
as our legislators or Governor
Benson. Both the governor and
the legislature were in their rights
inviting Louis. Around the ring
side at the exhibition we noticed
several notables from the JOUR-
, NAL. We also noticed Carl Jones,
publisher of the JOURNAL, get
ting a good look at Joe on the
train coming into Minneapolis.
THE TRIBUNE deserves COM
mendation for bringing the out
standing fighter of the country to
/ the Twin Cities. It deserves much
more credit for having on it's staff
a man of the calibre of George
Barton. 1t is a known fact that
Louis would not have come to this
city for any boxing performance
under any other sponsor except
George Barton. Not even THE
TRIBUNE could have brought him
here but for the influence of Bar
ton, who is known the sports
world over as an unbiased referee
and a soprts writer who is beyond
color prejudice and petty profess
sional jealousies. S.
Many newspapers and their
writer's are not many times "mad
about what they are fussing
about"
The fact that the Minneapolis
Parent Teachers Association stu
dent fund is now almost $4,000
richer by virtue of the appearance
here of Louis gives the other pa
pers a mark and example to emu
late.
No colored readers and few white
readers of JOURNAL and STAR
regarded the raps as anything but
"sour grapes"

SYNOPSIS-Clark Griffith, deb
OMAR laison man for powerful p0-
litical forces, is attempting to win
Verda Trent from Moses "Inter-
est" CraddOck, ruthless and infu-
entail attorney. He met the beau
tiful Verda at the home of q friend
and succeeded in getting her con-
sent to 60 to luncheon the follow
ing day. He has just called Verda
to remind her of the engagement
when CraddOck, entering her apart
ment, Overhears the telephone con-
versatiOn and is furious.
Verda dismisses CraddOck from
her apartment and goes to lunch
with Clark, where, during the meal,
she realizes Clark has fallen in love
with her.
Verda breaks with Craddock and
reopens her shop free from obliga-
ton to him. Clark, hurrying to
Verda with tickets for a prizefght,
is fired on with machinegun in a
fleeing car. He is uninjured, but
the bullets strike two innocent per-
sons.
Clark goes to Craddock's Office
with thinly-veiled accusal and a
threat. Both men quarrel bitterly
and the breach is widened. Clark
tells Verda he knows of a way to
hit back at Craddock.
Clark goes to August Tweed, his
political chief, to enlist his aid in
fighting CraddOck, and finds that
his faction is on the eve of a bitter
political struggle in which Grad.
dock will be the OppOsitiOn's Leader
among Negroes.
Clark and Verda decide to be
married at once, SO they might be
together during the bitter struggle
that is surely coming.
