SPRINGFIELD, Mass
 Bobby Williams started the 194O season off with a bang when he disposed of Fitchburg's Bobby AL len in one minute and fifty seconds of the first round. Dropping his victim twice for nine counts with 1 a hard left and straight right, the hard-hitting Williams used a powerful left hook to finish his game but outclassed opponent.
 Andy Roberts, who shows at the outdoor arena this week, is the brother of the sensational Ray Roberts. Still undefeated, he won the junior lightweight national ti- tie in his first year of competition, and is rated more highly than his brother. Ray has recently turned pro, after having conquered all he surveyed in the amateur ranks. Nunnally Features in City Meet
 Joe Nunnaly, local colored ath- lete, flashed speedy pair of legs as he won first and second place in the inter school meet held Thursday at Blunt Park. After taking the century in the good time of 1O.9 seconds, Joe came within an ace of placing first in the 220-yard dash. Dell Challenges King
 Carl Dell, whose scheduled bout with Charley Burley was cancelled by the latter's appendicitis, has hurled some emphatic challenges in the direction of Howell King. Dell, through the medium of his manager, rotund Al Weill, charges King, who is preparing for a New England title bout with Henry Chmielewski, with having avoided him ever since he lost decision to Dell in Detroit. As King has more than once stated his willing ness to meet any welterweight from Armstrong down, a match between the two seems to be in the offing.

Rhody Club To Meet Bal Rae

The Little Rhody Tennis Club is in good shape, according to Coach Bill Thomas, and is ready to stack up against the hard-driv- ing Bal-Rac Club in Boston on Sunday. "We have a fair chance to win with the lineup at present, and if everything goes we'll, a victory will initiate the clubs entry into the N.E.T.A.," said Thomas, who is hard at work trying to develop the youngsters. He notes improvement in the playing of Simmons, Coulbourn, Pettijohn and Young. <
 Cardoza, out for the second time, is stroking in far form, but, complains of an old wrist injury. The Wheeler brothers, Don and Bun, will continue to be bother some to any opponents, especially if their stability improves. Saun- ders will be sorely missed by the new club, as his effectiveness wore many opponents down for the top notchers.

s-1--7.77'I-1HF Giants Beat Brown Borlbers

The two colored baseball teams of Providence began what prom ises to be an interesting series ot games at Hopkins Park last Sum- day before an overflow crowd. In a slug fest the Brown Bombers were lambasted by the Providence Colored Giants, the latter winning IT to II. Rawlie Preston, hurling for the winners, went the entire route, bearing down on the Bomb CTS when necessary.
 The game had many interesting spots, as fielding gems were exc cuted and healthy blows delivered by George Hie, Mason, Preston and Ramos. Gene Perry of the Giants poled a long hit in the first inning to start hostilities.
 Coach Johnson of the Bombers used four pitchers trying to halt the Giants, but to no avail, send ing in Ramos, Edmonds, Soares and Mitchell. Coach Rosario was dumbfounded at the defeat of his charges, but complimented the Giants on their playing, however. He pointed to the absence of Charlie Bentley, George Michaels and Al Potter, mainstays of his team, and promised that the sec ond game will tell a different story. Umpire Cunnigan handled the game in an expert manner.
 The lineups included: Giants R. Preston, Jennings, McKinnon, Hie, Perry, Mason, Hardy, Gle ment, Jackson. Bombers-J. Ra- mos, Roderick, T. Ramos, T. Comes, Soares, Jackson, Mitchell and Johnson.
 This Sunday the Bombers will play the Knights at Haywood Park, Attleboro, Mass, at 2:30 D. m.

THE CHRONICLE SPORTS REVIEW
By MAZE KOUNTZE

against the Chronicles publicity of Rindge Technical High School of Cambridge, Mass. as friendly joke.
 The recent election of Aaron Smith to the Rindge track cap taincy has reminded me to make this belated reply to a written charge that the junior technicians were getting too much mention in the news, which. if true, is not my fault. Papers write the news; they don't make it.
 Not a citizen of Cambridge, I am yet willing to concede Rindge Tech the medal for consistently producing some of the best, if not the most colored athletes year after year here in this state. Right in recent years, we've had Chet Smith and Rolly Bernard as star guards at B. U.; Spike Corbin as all-American tackle at West Vir- ginia State; and Franny Matthews as hard-hitting first baseman for the Newark Eagles of the Negro National League.
 Now, along comes huge Harry Hobart, king of schoolboy shot putters, who has every indication of being a super star at N. Y. U. Can I help it?

Hartford, Conn. - Artie Will son, former New England Giant first sacker of Hartford, was re- gently seen in the lineup of the New York Cubans playing in the position of right field.

The New York Cubans will play the Homestead Grays on Wednesday, June 12, in Hyde Park. Johnnie Taylor, who is also a member of the Cubans, will also be seen in ac- tion at this time.
 Wilson is a former baseball player of Hartford Public High School, and a three-letter man at Virginia Union University in Rich mond, Va. He is now studying at the Howard Medical School in Washington, D. c.

N. GIANTS WIN AND LOSE

Hartford, Conn. - Last Friday the Giants beat the Windsor Col ored Stars (native Windsor boys) in twilight game at Keney Park. The game ended at the close of the end of the sixth inning because of darkness, with the score 3-1. The game was more or less one of practice, with noone taking the spotlight particularly. u can be said by way of comment that the Windsor boys, though young and fairly small, are fair hitters.
 Sunday, however, the Hartford All-Stars beat the New England Giants again. In spite of good pitching by Doug Johnson, who made a beautiful running catch of a difficult to handle line drive, and by Weaver Lee, equally good fielder and pitcher, the Giants went down in defeat, 5-3. As we baseball players and fans know weak hitting and errors at crucial moments lose games, however, much of this weakness can be attributed to the fact that our players do not get enough prac- tice, because of hard working days and considerable long distance to the ball diamond. It would be great help to their playing if we fans made it easier for them to get to practice and games by giving them use of our cars, etc.

following their game with the
 Cubans. Bet on Ed Dugger,
 Tufts mighty mite, in the National Collegiates in Minneapolis. This
 sepia trackster is really the tops tops in timber-topping, tops in
 topping records, and tops as a
 gentleman and a scholar. So
 help me, Lew Jenkins first name
 is Verlin. I wouldn't advise you to
 call him that-he's the lightweight
 champ. Want to lose some
 quick money? Baseball men will tell you betting against Bob Eel
 Ter is sudden death to any bank
 roll. The odds on these two star hurlers is respectively to 1 and
 16 to 5. Springfe1d's Colored Giants won and lost during the past week. After lowing to the Polish Eagles to 1, they won a free-swinging 12 to II decision over the Chicopee Falls Red Sox. Best, Golfer and Malone featured for the Giants in both games. Clarence DeMar and Andy Zam- parelli have both signifed their of running in the TO- mile race sponsored by the St. parish in Longmeadow. If the committee succeeds in lining up Tarzan Brown and John ny Kelly, the event will attract plenty of out-of-towners. -| Western Massachusetts boxing fans missed chance to see a really good fighter when Charlie Burley was forced to call off his scheduled bout with Carl Dell.

 Upon arrival, Watson donned his track suit and won the shot put at 50 feet and the broadjump at 23 feet 10 inches. But still he was unhappy. Watson had inten- ded to enter the discus, high jump, quarter mile and the dash.

FATHERS DAY

It is a tendency to first envy and then tire over the plaudits for the various and many good fathers we have among us. Some people just wait around to see a good man go down; others do all they can to pull him down.
 Nevertheless, tomorrow is Fath- CTS Day, dedicated exclusively to fine family-fathers, present and past who have nothing to do with the modern political-fathers of dictator-states so nobly opposed by MT. Roosevelt.
 There never was finer and closer father and son duo than the currently popular Eddie and the late Lieut.. Col. Dugger, who, as long as he was on this sphere, served his family, city, state and nation as we'll as he could. It took sacrifice, and that, to my mind, is the test of real father.
 The school books depict the Negro as a playful, carefree race, quite afraid to meet sacrifice and hardships. Our fathers prove the lie.
