NEW YORK-The Young Commu-
mist League has dealt jim crow base
ball jolting blow this season in their
efforts to get Colored players recog-
milton in baseball Following the
example set by the Daily Worker, they
have scored especially since resorting
to the method of urging the baseball
fans of the Nation to sign petitions,
protesting the barring of competent
ColOred baseball players from the
American League teams; and in turn,
sending said petitions to the National
League President, Frank Frisch. At
the East-West game Sunday thou
sands of signatures to the petitions
were obtained by the diligent YCL'ers.
If mass-pressure means anything,
(and even the President admits it
does) it won't be long before the
American baseball fans can rejoice
at equality in baseball, and the Col
ored players will take their place.

LOUIS is BEST HANDLED CHAMP
EVER, SAYS MONTEITH

DETROIT-Joe Louis, Worlds
heavyweight champion, is the best
handled champion in the history of the
prize-ring according to William J.
(Scotty) Monteith, the sage of Mo
therwell, who piloted Johnny Dundee
to the featherweight championship of
the world. Monteith, a Detroit resi-
dent for II years, made this statement
this week. According to him, the in
fluence of his managers, John Rox-
borough and Julian Black, has had
more to do with Joe's rise to the box
ing pinnacle than the lethal fists that
blasted SO opponents out of the pic
ture in his 43 fights as professional
The records show that since Louis
scored a one-round knockout over Jack
Kracken in 1884, he was brought
along carefully, meeting better oppo-
nents in every bout until he stopped
Jim Braddock to win the title in Chi
cago in 1897, a crown he has success
fully defended seven times.

BOXING
JOE LOUIS BEGINS BOXING
SESSIONS FOR PASTOR BOUT

WORTHWHILE, Mich. - Following
three weeks of light training on the
estate of his co-manager, Julian A.
Black, at Stephensville, Michigan,
worlds heavyweight champion Joe
Louis settled down to serious work
Saturday when he moved into camp
here, to prepare for his 20-round bout
with Bob Pastor in Detroit, September
20.
According to the present schedule
outlined for him by his trainer, Jack
Blackburn, Louis will box fifteen DAYS
while he is in camp. Working as a
sparmate with Louis is George Nichol-
son, New York heavyweight, who has
helped Louis prepare for eight fights.
He joined the staff only after legally
releasing the champion and his mana
ger from any liabilities due to illness
or injury sustained while acting as
sparmate. The sparring brigade will
each receive $25 each time they step
into the ring with the Brown Bomber.
The three others beside Nicholson are:
Willie Smell, Colored Chicago heavy
weight; Harry English of Toledo, and
Haywood Storey, clever Detroit mid
dleweight.
Roxbury claimed, in an interview
with the press, that despite contracts,
sparring partners occasionally demand
redress for an injury.
Expect 10000 ColOred to Attend Fight
Although the tickets for the fight
did not go on sale until August "a,
more than S150,000 worth have been
ordered. And of this, more than
$4,000 has come from Colored fight
fans. One of the leading ticket
agents, Harry L. johnson, expects
more than 10000 Colored fans to trek
to Briggs Stadium. Manager Rox-
borough declared the other day, that
it will cost approximately $500 day
to train for the fight, divided among
the sparmates, chef, guards, and
others employed at the camp. Added
to this, will be the rent of the house
where Louis will stay, approximately
three miles from the camp, and the
food bill.

Now For Young
J0e's Problem.
AS for Joe, his father has paid
to have three of the family cars
tenders ironed out in the past six
months, all because Joe drives as
though Satan were constantly in
hot pursuit. The car always goes
to the garage to be washed or to
have tire changed. Joe never has
time or energy for these exhausting
chores.
Joe had a job last summer but
he frittered away every dime he
made He didn't even have enough
to buy himself that tuxedo he de-
manded as soon as school started.
He never lives within his allowance,
and is always hitting his dad for
extra money He is always in the
lowest third of the class at school,
although he has the brains to rank
high.
He never spends an evening at
home if he can help it, and none
of his gang ever comes to the house.
Nor has his family ever met any of
the girls he goes out with.
So maybe it isn't so surprising
that Geraldine and Joe don't get the
consideration from their parents
which they would like to have
Mother and dad try TO run Geral-
dimes life for her. Perhaps they
do-because she has shown abso-
lutely no indication of being able
to run it herself They treat her like
a baby. simply because she acts like
one. They criticize her, sometimes
without justification. because her
general attitude and her lack of
responsibility alarm and worry them.
Joe doesn't get the car more often
because he hasn't shown himself to
be capable of handling it sensibly
and safely. Nor has he displayed
any interest in it's maintenance. And
his fathers unwillingness to in
crease Joe's allowance is under
standable when you know Joe fails
to take care of what money he gets.
Perhaps their parents are partly
to blame for these faults in Ger
aldine and Joe. But even so, these
young people can't expect their sit
uations to improve until they do
something constructive about their
relations with mother and dad.
Well make some suggestions along
this line in another column. coming
