Have you heard that ART WEI,
SIGER, former sheik about town
is marrying an eastern girl in the
none-too-distant future? Was
talking to GEORGE SANDERS
who is marrying STELLA HOL-
SOMBACK of st. Paul on October
7th. George was asked how he
felt as the days passed and he said,
81 feel fine. Altho' every once in

ly quite attractive. BARBARA
MALLORY is dropping cards from
Spelman College. (BObbie says the
SCENERY" is grand.) :. Have
you heard about that very popular
boy about town who is preparing
to dash to the altar in the early
winter month. Well, anyway, in
the month, of June he had quite
bit Of extra money on hand and de-
cided that that was the time for
him to purchase his wedding suit.
The suit was put away carefully
and was to be worn on the fatal
day in our herO's life. Now that
it's nearing the day our hero
thought that he had better take a
look at the suit. Upon looking at
it he found the most dreadful ca
tastrOphe had occurred. In the
first place our hero had gained IF
teen pounds and the suit made him
look like a stuffed toad and also
the moths had nibbled a few holes
throughout the suit. Our hero is
lOOkin' quite dOwncast these days
and says that now he's going to
marry in his old knOck-abOut suit,
and If his bride to be doesn't like
it she can take him or leave him.
What st. Paul gal is quite daffy
about one of these out-of-town stu
dents? (Tut! Little does she know
that he's practically engaged to
girl in his home town, who by the
way possesses the same given
name as she does.)
Well, 1 guess that's enough for
this week, but I'll be with you

Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell
came to st. Paul last week as guest
speaker for the Urban Leagues
annual meeting. He spoke with
brutal frankness of conditions that
could not escape even the casual
attention of a visitor. ALI that he
said did not set well on the
stomaches Of either the white OF
colored persons who heard him.
Yet he compelled almost unani-
nous admiration for the courage
of his utterances spoken without
regard for any unfayorable reac-
tions his denunciation might bring.
Especially severe was the con-
gresham upon the frailities Of his
own people whom he declared were
not taking full advantage of APP
portunities lying at hand.
This writer who many times has
written of the same thing and in
language equally clear and ever
more specific wondered If the
words Of the visitor would be any
more effective in awakening re-
aEstic action.
So many, many times has oul

paper called attention to the mil
lions and millions of dollars we
Twin Citians have spent with our
merchants without receiving or
asking for anything in return.
We need jobs; our paper needs
advertising. Surely it is not too
great a task to ask for one or both
from those who have both to give.
Mr.. Mitchell assured US that the
help we need and can ourselves
give viii not be volunteered by any
one else.
Why not make Mr.. Mitchell's
talk draw dividends. The next dol
lar you spend-take it where it
will help pay some Negro workers
salary or where the merchant ex-
presses appreciation for your trade
through the lad" column Of your
paper. ASK and we shall receive!

1t Doesn't
Make Sense

Spending your money with con
Germs who do not appreciate your
patronage just doesn't make sense
There are two ways for a mer-
chant to express to you in unmis-
taxable terms that he WANTS and
APPRECIATES your pennie S,
nickels, dimes and dollars.
One Of those sure signs is the
presence of colored employees in the

CHAMPION / TO 70
IN SCRAP TONIGHT.
Figures He'll Wind 1t Up
Prior to Fifth Stanza.
Both in Keen Trim.
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


CHICAGO, April 1.-On this April
Fools night Joe Louis, world heavy
weight champion, goes into the ring
determined to make a fstic fool of
Harry Thomas, rugged challenger from
Eagle Bend, MINI.
They meet in a battle scheduled for
IS rounds in the Chicago Stadium, with
prospects Of a. attendance of from
10000 to $4,000 and receipts from
$50,000 to $4,000.
The 23-year-old Negro titleholder
Is out to make Thomas hit the canvas
and stay there before eight rounds are
finished. He wants quicker knock
out than Max Schmeling, who stopped
Thomas in eight rounds on technical
finish.
Louis is tuned to physical perfection
Tor the third defense of the title he
won from James j. Braddock in Chi
cago last June He will shoot for an
early finish with a complete knock
out as his objective.
Says the champion:
If I see an opening in the first
round, I'll crash through with it.
Thomas has courage and can punch
and you have to dispose of fellow
like that as quick as you can. I'll take
no chances. I never have been in bet
ter shape for any fight. I figure I'll
have him dressed up before the fifth
round"
Banks on Sunday Punch.
Thomas has all the physical quail
f1cations of Louis. but that is about all
His only apparent chance seems to be
in a damaging attack to the body early
in the fight before the champion gets
warmed up. This, he figures, will slow
Louis down and make him victim
for right smash to the chin.
Thomas enters the ring 20-l shot
and his hopes hang entirely upon a
Sunday punch from his swinging at
tack. He cannot match Louis in
speed, boxing skill or hitting power.
and will have an age handicap of about
nine years, although the record books
say he is only 81. Thomas boxes with
wide open swinging style, throwing
his punches from his shoe laces and
Is easy to hit. Louis is positive he
will not miss him, but Thomas can
absorb punches like post Office blotter.
Goes Back to Catching.
Observers figured Thomas, who
started his athletic career as a catcher
with the Los Angeles ball club of the
Pacific Coast League, will resume his
catching job tonight, with Louis pitch
ing gloved fists at his chin. Thomas
record of so bouts in six years with As
knockouts looks impressive but with
the exception of his last two bouts,
his foes hold minor league rankings.
However the only man to stop him was
Schmeling, and Thomas was on his
feet swinging and protesting when the
referee ended that bout.
The Brown Bomber flashed his best
form in two years while training for
tonight's brawl. He expects to scale
200 pounds, with Thomas tipping the
beam at 1876. Thomas is lean and
trim as result of three weeks of
training.
Louis figures to collect about $25,OO0
Tor repulsing the Minnesota swing
man. Promoter Mike Jacobs will wind
up with about $4,000, enough to start
the ballyhoo for his Louis-Schmeling
million-dollar plum, which will gather
momentum from now on.

the Griffmen have been murmuring

Field.
1T really isn't batting practice" :"
complained Outnelder Johnny Stone.
"You see. the pitcher lets go Of the
ball against q background of pale
blue sky. The hitters can't see the
ball until 1t gets right on top of them.
AS q result our timing is way off,"
Rocky, like many others, is strongly
in favor of having a wooden fence
installed in centerf1eld to serve as a
background. Griffith, however, seems
to have other ideas. The old gen.
tleman practically has completed ar
rangements to have a new training
field built in Orlando for next year.
This one will be near the hotel, in
stead of three miles away.
Griff is sold on this town. He
already has promised to get another
major league club to train here If
the Chamber of Commerce will build
field for the Mats in the city. And
he wants to buy the controlling stock
in the Orlando team of the Florida
State League. Grif seems to prefer
the small farm teams.
