Appeal to Public
To Attend
Charity Review
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
In a new endeavor to help our
selves, this committee has de-
veloped a cooperating spirit among
the Negroes of Minneapolis, with
the result that we have now formed
a BOY SCOUT TROOP and a
YOUNG NEGRO BOYS CLUB in
the South Central Area of Mime
apolis. In order to carry on our
project to a successful end, we are
planning to present to the public
of our city and vicinity CHARITY

We are asking you to become one
of the sponsors by purchasing
tickets for the affair. We are also
preparing a souvenir program.
The proceeds will be used to pro-
vide recreational facilities for the
Negro youth in the South Central

adequate at the present time. For

Second Post
Article Deals
with Race Vote
SECOND ARTICLE ON NEGRO
APPEARS IN SATURDAY
EVENING POST

How will the Negro vote in the
coming elections Why?
These questions are posed to the
minds of every Negro by an article
in this weeks Saturday Evening
Post by DR.. Stanley High. The ar
ticle forms the second of a series
of two in the Post.
DR.. High describes at length the
formation of a NEGRO Belt" of
voters, and explains the forces that
swung a large portion of voters
from the Republican party to the
Democratic rolls in 1886. But that,
says DIR. High, is no sure indica-
ton that the preponderance of the
Negro vote will again be Demo-
cratic in 1888 or 1912.
According to DR.. High, the trend
of the Negro vote is likely to be
dictated more by economic than
political considerations. In other
words, he thinks that the Negro
will vote for whatever party seems
most likely to give him the best
economic breaks.
"The last three elections, and
particularly 1885," he says, "indi-
Gated that the Negroes are likely
to continue to vote together. In
1886, they moved, bag and bag
gage, into the Democratic camp.
But it is long jump from that fact
to the conclusion that they can be
counted upon to park there in
definitely. In view of what is stir
ring in the Northern Negro COM
munity, it is exceedingly unlikely
that the Negro voter can be
counted on to park anywhere in
definitely"
Behind this, says the author, is
the new force of Negro coalition,
sponsored by such leaders as Wal
ter White and A. Philip Randolph.
He proves his point by citing sew
eral instances in Pittsburgh, St.
Louis, and elsewhere where Ne
groes consolidated to their advan-
tage.
. An interesting sidelight of DR..
Highs article is given in the Keep
ing Posted page, a regular depart
ment of the Post printed on the
last page. When DR.. High wrote
the article, he mentioned forth
coming movement of Harlem Ne
groes to persuade one of New York
City's big utility companies to en-
ploy more Negroes. While the ar
ticle was being printed, this threat
of action came to pass and was
successful. It was too late for the
editors of the Post to change DR..
Highs article, but they were able
to include a notation of the new de-
velopments on the last page of their
magazine.

St. Lucy's Bowling Notes
(BY PO-KUM)

AS we go into the last and final round we find the Senators still perched at the top position. closely followed by the New Dealers and the Trailers who are tied for sec ond place with but three games frcm first place and considering that only twelve games remain to be bowled I can truthfully say tha. its anybody's fight. Even the fourth place scouts whose chances of finishing first could be put into the thumb hole of bowling ball do not want to be counted out. so there my dear readers shows what a close battle is taking place in our league this year.
 Last Wednesday night after the G-men got away to 30-pin lead in the first game battered badly in the closing rounds and lost the first game to the New Dealers thanks to "Hennie" Minicucci's bowling, and speaking of "Hennie' I don't know what has come over this fellow, that portside delivery is spelling rulnation to every team, hitting but a 94 average in mid-season he is now in the charm circle of a little otter than 100 some going! The leading Senators took three games from the lowly Presidents and the TrailerS took three from the Scouts minus Man Mountain Dean" De- chele, who was forced to the side lines, due to illness, but we are happy to say that we are able to enjoy Mikes presence at the al- leys just the same. I believe that if Father McVerry was in the G. men lineup Wednesday night those rowing New Dealers would not have won two games. Red" Mucci not satisfied with winning two games. even beat Joe Summa for a good drink on the throw of one ball. Did you get the drink, Red?"
 We were sorry to hear of Tom Iannachino's illness and we hone that a speedy recovery will soon bring him back to the Scouts lineup for Tom always has been a color 1ul figure in our league, "so here's hoping Tom that we'll see you soon When Al Carpentier receives the prize for high average, if he wins it, at the bowling banquet, he will also receive an 'autobiographica! bed sheet which he will probably value more than any other gift.

CLEVER CLAVERS TO TEST LITHS AGAIN

One of the greatest bands of basketball players ever assembled will make return appearance at St. Joseph's hall Saturday night when the Claver All-Stars, Negro champions from New York, op- pose the K. of L.
 The All-Stars disposed of the Knights by a comfortable margin in their first meeting, but the re- suit of the game was secondary to the brilliance they flashed in the process. So skillfully did they han ale the ball and shoot at the irons that the fans virtually demanded a return engagement.
 Charlie Isles and Elton "Bo" An derson, who accounted for 40 points between them in the first meeting of the clubs, will be back at their forward posts and Jim Stretch" Stewart, who put the kangaroo to shame with his jumping. will again show at center. Otis Soap" Har- rison and Mark Jackson are slated to work at the guard berthS.
 Jackson was the gent who staged brilliant pre-game exhibition of shooting two months ago and then failed to take single shot at the basket until, with two minutes of the game remaining, upon the sug- gestion of his manager, he let one fly from tWo-thirds the length of the court and dropped in hoop as slick as the proverbial whistle.

They have met twice, the St. Joe team winning the first game 25-23 at the Y Hut and the Tigers won the second match at the St. Joe floor 28-26. Both games be- ing decided by one basket. Since the last game when the Tigers de- feated the Holy Name aggregation the Manners won the Boys Club elimination tournament and also won a game in the state-widc tour nament at the Central Y. However, the Tigers, who were leading the North End Senior league at the time went into Q slump and lost their hold on the loop lead losing 4 straight games but in their last two games the Tigers showed a revamp- ed lineup and came out of their doldrums defeating the Tech Big Five 32-19 and the Ramblers by a score of 20-14, With both teams at full strength a close tussle is ex-
 pected. This game will get under
 way at 8:30 while the preliminary
 game featuring the St. Joseph girls who face a Shelton female quintet

 vino will referee the main game
