BASEBALL
COLORED NATIONAL LEAGUE
APPOINTS NEW PRESIDENT

APPOINTS NEW PRESIDENT
The Colored National League held
its second meeting Saturday, Feb. 18
in Philadelphia to formulate plans of
activity for the coming baseball
season. The meeting was held in the
offices of Ed. Gottlieb. The election
of officers was the major task con-
fronting the league. Officers elected
for this season were; Thomas Wilson,
president; Ed Bolden, vice president;
Cum Posey, secretary; Ed Gottlieb,
financial secretary; and Abe Hanley,
treasurer. The club owners present
were: Ed Gottlieb of the Philly Stars;
Ed Bolden and Thomas Wilson of the
Baltimore Elite Giants; James Semler,
(Who has plans on foot to introduce a
mixed team of baseball players, COM
posed of white and Colored players; !;
and in introducing said idea, Semler
feels that it will play a vital part in
lowering the jim Grow bars against
Colored players in the National Lea
gue) and Madison Bell of the New
York Black Yankees; Mr.. and Mrs.
Abe Manley of the Newark Eagles;
Rufus Jackson, and Cum Posey of the
Homestead Grays. Absent from this
busy session was W. A. Greenlee of
the Pittsburgh Crawfords.
The leagues financial report was
revealing, in view of the grave rumors
adrift that the league was financially
defunct. 1t reported it's financial sta
tus as the best since its inception, and
definite plans are under way to open
the season on May 18th, and close it
on Labor Day. The initial games will
be played by the Newark Eagles at
Rupert Stadium, Newark; the Balti-
more Elites at Oriole international
League Park, Baltimore; and at
Yankee Stadium, with the famous
Black Yankees as an attraction.
The Colored National League elected
Johnny Craig and Tom McCreery as
official umpires; associate arbiters
are: Frank Forbes, Pop Turner, "Moe'
Harris, Bill Harris, j. Crump, and
P. Cochrane.
Alex Pompez, former New York
club owner, was present at the league
session, and applied for associate
membership which was unanimously
granted.
The old well-known spotlight will
be focused on the Colored players, per-
haps with a little more emphasis than
hitherto in the Metropolitan area this
season, and there is a possibility that
all games will be played in Barrows
ball yard. The East West games will
be held as usual at Comisky Park, in
Chicago, August 9Th. This marks
the first season that Gus Greenlee,
Colored baseball's known benefactor,
is not holding an executive position.
| Considerable attention has been con-
centrating itself seriously on getting
Colored baseball players, many of
whom possess class A talent. into the
National League. The pointed words
of Frank Frick, president of the Ma
tional League, who in an exclusive
interview with Colored newspaper
correspondents recently, frankly ad-
mitted that baseball is everybody's
game. While Frisk is obviously weak,
or perhaps evasive to certain extent
on this ever growing issue, neverthe-
less, he left one significant statement
to be absorbed by the Colored base
ball fans; 81 do not think the time is
far off and with constant crusading
by the press of both races, it is bound
to come. You must keep fighting"

LEWIS PREPARES FOR CLARK
AFFRAY

Light Heavyweight Champion John
Henry Lewis has left for Hot Springs
Ark, where he will undergo his pre-
conditioning routine in preparation
for his approaching title bout with
Dave Clark of Detroit, March 31st
John Henry Lewis, king of the light
heavy division in every state except
New York, left Pittsburgh for Hot
Springs two weeks ago.
Accompanied by his father, John E
Lewis, and his dietician, Frank SUIT
ton; John Henry and the party will
go directly to the Spa. The Champs
trainer, Larry Amadee, and his mana
ger, Gus Greenlee, left for the Spa
later. John Henry has plenty of con-
tldence in his ability to defeat Detroit's
Dancing Dave Clark and retain his
title. John feels that his experience
in the squared circle and his punching
power, will give him the necessary
advantage over his clever sepia foe.
However, he has high regard for
Clark's ability as boxer and accepts
him as worthy contender.
Clark, who is a former Golden
Gloves middleweight champion. has
been going like the proverbial house
on fire of late, bowling over all oppo-
sition. Dancing Dave" will depend
upon his unbounded speed to hand the
clever John Henry defeat. Many of
the fistic experts give Dancing" Dave
a chance to outpoint John Henry in
this skirmish. The champion is guar
enteed $4,000 of an option of 35 per
cent of the gate receipts.
Clark's camp reports that he will be
in keen form for the affray. It is
very likely that the winner of this
contest will clash with Mello Bettini,

Tony's farewell to arms was not
very dramatic. 1t was disappoint-
ingly prosaic. Largely because
Tony had lost his punch and had
nothing to fight with.
His ring craft enabled him to
win the first round, when he
landed the most blows on a conf
dent, fair-skinned youngster who
forced the fighting from rope to
rope.
Young Davis, unbeaten In 80
bouts, continued to set the pace In

MAYLON PLANNING RING
CARD FOR NOVEMBER Is
Sailor Boyd
MayPerfornl!

Anxious to obtain the best pos
sible talent and to assure fans OF
an action-laden program, Match
maker VIII Maylon announced to-
day a one-week postponement--
from Nov. Q to Nov. 16-of the
next boxing card at Greenwich
coliseum.
Maylon Is dickering for the
services of several ranking ring
figures.
The local matchmaker revealed
that Nate Druxman, Seattle pro-
moter. was not the only North
west fistic impresario seeking Bill
Boyd, the ex-sailor who got his
start in this city and who now -
under Jack Dempsey's tutelage.
Druxman announced last
night he had booked Boyd for
n Seattle bout, the opponent
and date to be named later,
but Maylon said the young
heavyweight star would also
fight In Tacoma II he goes
through with his projected
Puget Sound trip.
Looking back at various ring
programs presented here last
season, Maylon cited two possible
rematches which would meet with
the approval of Tacoma fans.
EACH WIN ONE
Jock McOmber, local light.
heavyweight, and Ernie Collins,
Reno heavyweight, staged a pair
of slam-bang scraps here last
winter, each winning q decision.
The other potential return match
would bring together Tacomas
Davy Ward, promising young
welter, and Al Avila, the Mexican
gamester from Sacramento, who
went to blistering draw here last
spring.
Another possible opponent
for McOmber could be Bob
Larue, capable San Francisco
youngster who has been bowl
ing over the better light
heayies In California for the
past several months. Nc
Omber, greatly-improved, Is
ready for the best Of them,
Maylon thinks.
For that matter, either Nc
Omber or Collins, or even Laure
could provide Boyd with an in
teresting evenings work in cas-
the onetime COB heads this way
, Then, too. the winner of a Nc.
Omber- Collins-Laure elimination
series would figure to give Boyc

By HANS KINDER,

The Brandenburg Concertos (six
in alb were written by Bach for diff
ferent combinations of instruments,
and in answer to the wish of a young
prince Of musical taste and inclina-
tions, the Margrave of Brandenburg.
Probably the young prince at the
time did not realize that by his gen.
erous commissions he incidentally
erected splendid monument in
tones to his name.
OF the Brandenburg Concerto No.
2 there are number of arrange
ments. intended for the more popu-
lar consumption of this ascetic and
archaic music. The work was written
originally for solo violin, flute. oboe
and high trumpet. This last instru-
ment "a small high-F trumpet orig
inally), gives the part written for it
severe. exalted and at the same
time nearly emaciated quality, which
Bach doubtless intended it to have.
Often it is transposed in the afore-
mentioned arrangement to the clari-
net (Mendelssohn's version among
others uses that instrument). thereby
depriving it of just the original un-
bodily and virgin-like transparency.
The musical value of the work,
joyous in the first movement, is
deeply human in the andante, and
returns to the more abstract exulta-
ton Of the first movement in the
finale. It Is the greatest Of Bach 8
