J. n. Lewis Mother
Offers No Excuses

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. rs
0.N.S.D.-"I guess there's no
alibi to Offer"
That was the mother of
John Henry Lewis speaking
in Phoenix today, home town
of the fighter who was
blasted by Joe Louis last
night.
Il just can't understand
how it happened" she said.
"My boy is a good fighter
but that Joe Louis must be a
demon"
John Henry'S mother re-
fused to listen to a radio
broadcast of the fight, but
wept when another son, Paul,

to the first clash. Soon after
striking stance Joe hooked with
his left but missed, then he
jabbed, crouched and jabbed at
his man. He missed a right that
had a knockout label and his
impetus carried him to close quar-
tiers where he broke through
John Henry's defense with short
rights and lefts.
They separated and immedi.
ately Joe clipped John Henry
with a left and right to the head.
The challenger's unsteady legs
bent with the second punch and
before he could straighten up
Louis fetched him a hard right
on the jaw. John Henry dropped
but was up again at three.
LACKED DEFENSE .,
The champion again pressed his
attack. John Henry had no de-
fense against a right and left
that rocked his head and once
more crooked his legs. He
wouldn't or couldn't flee from
that blistering fire but groped
and feebly attempted to throw
some punches in retaliation. A
left swiped the side of his skull
and he tottered to corner where
Louis pursued and poured in body
punches.
AS they came to the center of
the ring again John Henry flung
a left hook to the body. 1t was a
blow he had practiced with great
fervor in his training camp. But
it was a flea bite to Louis. The
champion was now measuring for
the lethal blow. He ratified two
rights off John Henry's head and
the second toppled the challenger
over backward. He fell against
the lower rope, but sprung him
self from that position after
count of two.
Louis was on him in an instant
intent on a quick and merciful
finish. He had no thought Of toy
ing with his victim. Backed ur
to the ropes again, John Henry
could not defend himself, but
Louis was close and punching
short. There was no escape fol
the challenger. He retreated to q
corner, where Louis again pun
meled him savagely.
The action moved slowly along
the ropes toward a neutral cor
ner. John Henry's hands were
coming down. A furry of blows
ended with a heavy and well
timed right thudding to John
Henry's jaw. His eyes were hall
closed and he fell over slowly or
his back. The referee stopped
down and peered at the beaten
man and in S seconds decided that
intervention was the proper thing
1t was no equal match, but John
Henry wanted it; had been clamor
ing for it for two or three years
For Louis it was just another
job. He isn't a friendly fellow
inside those ropes.
In defeat John Henry Lewis col
lected his biggest purse. His share
was 171a per cent of the net re
ceipts or approximately $18. 600
Joe Louis took down the cham
pion's end, 421a per cent or ap
proximately $4,000. The Twen

BOOK REVIEW
By Gertrude Martin
For United Negro Press

TELL MY HORSE" by Fora
Neale Hurston. J. B. Lippincott
Company, Philadelphia, 1888, $500.
Fora Neale Hurstons book, Tell
My Horse" the story of voodoo
and life in Jamaica and Haiti, is
a little disappointing after Their
Eyes Were Watching Cod" her
earlier work. Perhaps it was that
I expected this new book to come
up to the high standard set in the
other book or perhaps it is that
Miss Hurston is more at home in
the field of the novel.
At any rate, Tell My Horse"
lacks the finished style and the
beauty of language of Their Eyes
Were Watching Cod" There are
passages, it is true, where Miss
Hurston writes skillfully but on the
whole the book seems a little hur-
ried and there are a number of
poorly written sentences and even
several errors which may, of course
be typographical.
Tell My Horse is divided into
three parts: Jamaica, Politics, and
personalities in Haiti, and Voodoo
in Haiti in which Miss Hurston is
at her best. In her discussion of
Jamaica she contrasts the Ameri-
can Negro with the Jamaican. She
ridicule's the mulatto's attitude
toward his black brother in ia
maica without noting that his ac-
tons are largely a matter of ex-
pediency.
The English are the lords of the
universe there and it has been I'M
fortunately always to the advan-
tage of the mulattoes to be as
much like these lords as possible.
Although Miss Hurston fails to
make the comparison we have the
same attitude in the American Ne
groes who strive hard to be repli-

Duplicate Contract
Bridge Tournament
BY ABE.

The Seattle and Portland Dis
tricts of the Pacific Coast Bridge
Association have completed the
third of their series in the Dupli-
cate Contract Tournament with
Seattle taking the honors for the
first time. Seattle won IL match
points to Portland's 10. Portland,
however, is leading the tournament
with total of 341a match points
for the series to Seattle's 251a.
AS the contest nears the close
the scoring between the two dis
tricts is more evenly matched and
it is difficult to tell whether the
superior skill of the contestants is
in the bidding or the play. Per-
haps the newness of the tourna-
ment rules has worn off and the
PLAYERS can concentrate better on
the game. We haven't space to re-
view the entire thirty boards, but
we win compare few for the in
terest of our readers.
Seattle deserves more credit for
winning this series than might be
evidenced by the close score, for
in many instances it was the win
ming of one extra trick that scored
the point for either district. AS
an example, on the 9th board the
bid for both districts was spades,
Portland made 6, Seattle 5. On
board 5 the bid also was A spades,
Portland was set one, Seattle made

New Court Fight Over
Education Is In Sight

New York,-A new legal battle
over educational opportunities is
in prospect in Missouri as a result
of the signing of the Taylor bill
by Governor Lloyd c. Stark last
week.
The board of directors of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People meet
ing here May 8 voted to offer the
legal advice, moral and financial
assistance of the association to
any colored student who wishes to
challenge the new Taylor bill, re-
garded in Missouri and elsewhere
as a bare-faced double cross of
the United States supreme court
decision in the case of Gaines VS..
Missouri.
The Taylor bill, which has now
become a law with Governor
Stark's signature, simply directs
the curators of Lincoln university
to make it the equal of the Uni
versity of Missouri. The bill does
not indicate how this equalization
is to take place. An appropria-
ton bill, separate, but accompany
ing the Taylor bill, sets aside
100000 for the equalization of
Lincoln university with the Uni
versity of Missouri. At the same
legislative session, the University
of Missouri was given 100000.
A further catch in the Taylor
bill is that it provides that pend
ing the equalization of the Negro
university with the University of
Missouri, Negro students who ap-
ply for graduate and professional
training may be given scholar
ships to out-of-state institutions.
The United States supreme court
in the decision in the Gaines case
stated specifically that out-of-
state scholarships did not meet the
constitutional requirement for eq-
uality.

Our many Negro beauty parlors
are only one evidence of this de-
sire. In contrasting the enviable
position of the American woman
with the decidedly inferior role of
the Caribbean woman we wonder
if the author has forgotten that
this may be true of the American
white woman but that the Ameri-
can Negro women are not consid-
cred by their males quite as inn
portant in the scheme of things.
The section devoted to politics
deals chiefly with political person
alities and there is little discus
sion of politics in any unified way
Perhaps our knowledge of Haitian
affairs is less than average but
we would have liked for Miss Hur-
ston to have given us few more
facts with which to tie together
our impressions. However, the
sketches of important characters
in the Haitian politics are both
interesting and alive.
Miss Hurston not only witnessed
the voodoo ceremonies but partici-
pated in some as an initiate. Her
writing is excellent in the descrip-
tons of the voodoo rituals and of
the different gods whom the peas

self as a religion as worthy as any
other. There is certainly much
that is beautiful connected with
certain aspects of the worship but
Miss Hurston herself states that
often the symbolism is lost upon
those taking part and all that is
left is the most primitive worship.
Christian man is reaching out
to spiritual God, has passed be-
yond this primitive stage in his
culture, and in SO doing most peo-
pie would agree has passed to a
superior conception of the divinity.
We heartily recommend Tell
My Horse" particularly for its
treatment of the voodoo. Miss
Hurston has been careful in Sc
curing her information first-hand
and her discussion can be accepted
as authentic. She has among 9TH
er things an interesting explana-
ton of the Zombies, the living
dead. There is some superficiality
and even flipancy in certain parts
of the book, but the whole has the
stamp of Miss Hurston's very en-
gaging personality. AS such it is
definitely good reading.

5. On the 10th board the bidding
varied but the number of books
turned was the same. Portland
bid 4 spades, set 8; Seattle bid 3
spades, set 2.
On other boards Seattle showed
superior bidding. For instance on
board 7 Portland bid 4 hearts, dou-
bled, down 2 vulnerable, set 500.
Seattle bid no trumps, made 4 for
a score of $50. On the 18th, Port
land bid 2 diamonds, down one,
set so. Seattle no trumps, made
5, score $50. And on the 23rd,
Portland bid clubs, made 2, score
80. Seattle bid 8 no trumps, made
five, score 460. But Portland did
not do all of the bad bidding. On
the 18th board Portland bid 5 dia-
monds, made 5, score 600. Seattle
bid 1 diamond, made 4, score $50.
In this series Seattle won boards
Nos. 2, 5, z, 8, IL, Is, Is, 16, II,
10, 81, %, %, rs, 27, %. Portland
won Nos. 1, 8, 4, 6, 8, 10, IL, 10,
"a, 26, 90, 80 The two teams tied
on boards Nos. IA and 10, each
making score of 45O points.
The highest ranking individual
team for the third series was Jack
Martin and S. Fordon of Portland
who scored 561s match points. Sc
cond was Mrs. Audrey Nichols and
Charles Adams of Seattle with
531a points.
The next series will be the last
and is to be completed this month.
Seattle will have to do some very
superior playing to overcome Port
lands nine-point lead.
