POT LIKKER

The Negro race has just cause
to be proud Of its athletes. The
last few years have left but a few
events in the world of sports to be
conquered. Joe Louis, our heavy
champ, proved to the world that
his defeat two years ago by Max
Schmeling was a fluke, by whip
ping the Uhlan in less than one
round last Wednesday night.
This writer believes Louis was
inspired by his pal Henry Arm
strong. If you fans paid close at
tention to the fight you noticed he
fought the same way little Henry
fought Ross. The world is still
shocked, and halls the champion
and his record.
How many of you have heard a
well-known playboy, who owns a
well-known "booful' car, say he
plans to marry well-known Seat
tie girl, who is visiting the city at

Jim Orme Catches Bullhead Which Catches King

Jim Orme catches bullheads when he goes salmon fishing, but the bullheads catch salmon, so Jimmy is ahead of the game.
 Sunday, Orme snagged one of the distasteful looking Irish lords with poison -barbed head and dorsal fin.
 With no gaff in the skiff, and to take no chances in getting spiked" Orme left the bullhead in the water and began rowing to Arnot Hendrickson's boat anchored near.
 Result: Sixteen-pound king sal mon sees bullhead being lowed, seizes the morsel, finds bitter hook in sweet flesh, eventually lands in the bottom of Ormes boat when Orme gets gaff
