Shooting at the Merit Gun and
Rod Club grounds was not as
heavy as that on the previous
Sunday, when the Chicago gun
ners shot it out with the Pres
ent Day Gun Club Of st. Louis.
Dewey Gavin joined a few of
his team mates in the charmed
circle by shooting a perfect score
Of Is out Of Is targets. Cavin's
longest continuous run for one
day was So targets without a
miss. Such shooting is by no
means bad gun pointing, but the
company his classification now
places him in, means tough going
in order to win. To run per-
feet score in trapshooting is the
height of a novice's ambition and
one not soon forgotten, but such
scoring is quite common in tour
nament matches.

Stopped By
Sparta Stars

ST. LOUIS, July 18-The win
ming streak Of the fast Black
Yankees was. called to a halt by
the strong Sparta Stars July 4 as
the Stars defeated them by {
score of 10 to 8 in Sparta, III.

Franklin on the mound who walk
ed the first four batters to face
MIN SO he was relieved by John

belieVable number Of ten runs of
Of five hits.

FRASER, struck out nine men while
Frank of the Red Sox struck out

with 80, in 1899 with 33, and this
year with the usual thirty-odd.
Missed World Record
Alice Coachman of Madison
high school, Madison, Ga, entered
with the Tuskegee squad, repeated
her outstanding victory in the high
jump by eliminating all rivals at
4 feet, IL inches and then going
on all the way to 5 feet, 5 inches
by herself in an effort to break
the world record of S feet, Az
inches. But she missed out on all
three tries at the height that
would have put her name in the
record books of the universe as
the only Negro woman athlete
holding a recognized world mark
to her credit.
Consistent Winner
Jean Lane, who won the so,
100, and 220 in the Tuskegee Re-
lays, holds the unofficial world
record in the 100 yard dash, set
at Cincinnati recently in the Cen
trail Collegiate Carnival, but the
mark must first be approved by
the AAU in order to make the
books.
Saturday, Tuskegee won the
400-meter relay for the fourth
straight year. The team was
composed Of Celestine Birge, Jessie
Abbott, Rowena Harrison, and
Miss Hymes.
Stella Walsh successfully de-
Tended her 200-meter dash title,
nosing out a fast field of cornpeti-
tors. Catherine Fellmeth Of Chi
cage, also white, retained the
shot put and discus titles.

OCEAN CITY, N. j., July 18-
NQn-staging Of the quadrennial
Olympic Games this year prob
aOly will prevent Jean Betty
Lane, seventeen-year-old WILDER
force university sophomore,
achieving rank as the foremost
woman athlete of the universe.
But, unofficially, anyway, the
young woman is just that.
Miss Lane, Saturday here, as
tonished the entire sports world
when she upset the internationally
famous heroine, Stella Walsh of
Poland, in the classic 100 meter
dash against field Of largely
white feminine sensations Of the
country. Lula Hymes of Atlanta,
Ga, was third.
HighlightS Of Meet
The amazing victory was I'M
questionably the highlight of the
annual National Women's Anna
teuf Athletic Union Track and
Field Championships.
More remarkable, however, was
the fact that Miss Lane did not
stop there. She captured the So
meter dash with another stirring
race against the brilliant and
twinkle toed little Tuskegee mite,
Lucy Newell Of Oak Park, Miss.
TuSkegee Wins Again
Tuskegee captured team honors

ALL-STAR EAST
west GAME ON
AUGUST 18TH
Will Be Eighth of
Series

East West time is drawing near!
All roads will be leading to
Chicago towards the middle of
next month for the combination
Of the big all-star baseball clash
between the best Of the Negro
stars at Comiskey Park on Sun
Cay afternoon, August IS, and a
chance to visit the big Negro EX-
position is something mighty
hard to resist.
The eighth annual all-star
game promises to be one of the
best of the series for the crack
eastern squad will head for Chi
Cago with blood in its eye after
being upset in the last two years.
That gave the West four to
three edge in victories in the Sc
ries, (which will never do" aC-
cording to the players and men
behind the proud clubs of the
Negro National League which
furnishes the players for the East
aggregation.
Nearly 10000 folks packed the
huge White Sox Park last August
for the game and they're still
talking about the heap of thrill
ing action they saw, particularly
the home runs cracked out by
Neil Robinson of the Memphis
Red Sox and Dan Wilson Of the
ST. Louis Stars, that enabled the
West to win out, 4 to 2.
1t was this same RobinSon'S
home run the year before that
won for the West, 5 to 4, and the
way he's clouting that pill again
for distance assures him of a
clnch place in the starting line
up for the West come August Is.
The West team will again come
from the stars Of the Negro Am
erican League, namely, the Chi
cago American Giants, Kansas
City Monarchs, Cleveland Bears,
St. Louis Stars, Indianapolis
Crawfords, Birmingham Black
Barons and Memphis Red Sox.
The National League array of
teams that furnishes the Easts
performers are the New York
Black Yankees, Philadelphia Stars,
Newark Eagles, Baltimore Elites,
Pittsburgh Homestead Grays and
New York CubanS.
Down through the years these
East-West clashes have come to
be known as never failing to pro-
duce intense competition, sensa-
tional plays and thrills far be-
yond description. If you haven't
seen one Of these classics, then
you just haven't seen baseball at
its best. Not one year has the
contest been anything but a rip
snorting, humdinging battle from
start to finish. These players give
everything they've got and the.
fans just eat it all up. What al
show
There was that first clash back
in 1888 when the West won, Ill
to Z, at the Sox park back Of the
pitching Of peerless Willie Foster
and the slugging of Mule Suttles,
both then Of the Chicago Am
erican Giants. The next year,

SAY MEAD IS
CAUSE OF LII
HENRY'S R | Sc
Used r US e S To
Arouse Interest
BY Howard Roberts

NEW YORK, July 18-Ceferino
Garcia remarked at the end of 10
blOOcy rounds last winter that
Henry Armstrong was pretty
Skillful at using his fists, his ell
bows, his shoulders and his head
in the prize ring. And CeferinO
inferred that the head was en-
ployed for more painful purposes
than thinking. That may or may
not be, but one thing is obvious
today-when it cones to head
work the real champion is the
champions manager, Eddie Mead
New York has been buzzing for
days with talk of Armstrong;
impending fight with Lew jenkins
at the Polo Grounds next We'd
1esday night And it develops
that all the talk has been slim
ated by a ruse cooked up id the
iertile imagination Of the rOtund
Mr.. Mead.
Weight Story Hoax
First he announced that Arm
strong was having the devils
own time trying to make weight
Tor the fight The Welterweight
champion had agreed to scale $40
oouncs for his engagement with
he lightweight king and, accord
ing to Mead, wasn't an ounce I'M
Ter l45 at the moment. at the
age Of 27, Mead argued, it wasn't
likely Henry could shed those
juperlluOus pounGs Therefore,
why not make it a welterweight
title fight.
Naturally, this was good for an
answering blast from the jenkins
camp, insisting Armstrong make
weight or lose his $4,000 forfeit.
All this was fine from the stand
point Of the gate" but it also at
tracted ne attention of the box
ing commissioners who take their
work seriously.
They called III Armstrong and
placed him on the scales. He
weighed 1884. Thus exposed,
Mead admitted he had plotted to
bring Armstrong into the battle
weighing below the lightweight
limit Of 1875. Then, if Armstrong
won, as surprising odds Of almost
2 to l say he will, he could claim
jenkins title.
Can't Make 135
BY this ruse Mead has pumped
paragraphs of publicity into col
umns, which was his idea all
along. But it may be he has
oVerplayed his hand a bit. For
now sports writer's refuse to be-
lieve Mead's claim that Arm
strong can make 1876 and hold
his strength. They think he'll
weigh in at about his present fig
ure. They're even a trifle skep-
teal Of the thumpings Armstrong
has been taking from his SPAR
ring partners. They suspect that
Henry is fooling them a bit, too.
This attitude has upset Jersey
Jones, the camp publicitor, so
badly he personally has offered
to prove Armstrong can be hit
easily with a right hand punch.
He says he'll don the gloves on
Saturday and convince the skepti-
