and his father, World War hero who
gave his life for his country, was a
successful business man.
Hawkins spent his entire life in
Birmingham, Alabama, his birthplace.
AS the years rolled by he learned to
lean heavily upon his mother, who,
incidentally, is still teaching in Birm-
ingham. So, it was only natural for
Hawkins to follow Gin his mothers
footsteps and head for a teachers
degree.
In 1880 Hawkins enrolled in the
Alabama State Teachers College and
worked his way through his Bachelor
of Science degree, in eduation. While
attending classes, the school band
master sent out call for a trumpet
player to join the band. Hawkins had
always played around with the drums
and enjoyed music. This was only
natural as he comes from a family
who are all unsteady inclined. Haw-
kins walked up to the band master and
volunteered to play the trumpet if
given a chance to study the instru-
ment. He was accepted and after
several months of tutoring played first
trumpet with the band up until 1884.
From then on the story of Erskine
Hawkins is known to all.
He and his famous band come to

championship of Boston in the grand
finals of the Park department tourna-

entered the show under an assumed
name and it was not until he had
reached the finals two weeks later
that the papers discovered and pub

paired with Joe Welsh of South

the finals with an impressive string
OF KOS. Boxing skillfully, Tom kept
his rangy foe missing bad in the first
round while he peppered him with
Jabs. Going into the second round
Cleland caught Welsh a hard right to
the jaw to score the only knockdown
of the fight. Welsh was on the verge
OF going out when the third bell caught
him. It was clearly Cleland's fight.
In the final and best bout of the
