CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

= fN~@h a ToANA
YLENA turned slowly IN Tate's
arms. Across the street she saw
the station wagon being deftly
backed into a short space.
Eyes. it is my good friend Scott.
And with him." she emphasized, sis
fish Reynolds who probably will
marry him before the winter sea-
son is over. If he does escape her,
then he's far more slippery than
the first three she wanted to
marry"
She watched fish scramble out
Of the machine like a wriggling lit
tie plump puppy and hang her arm
through SCOTS. While the pair
stood waiting a break in traffic,
Ylena stepped onto the narrow bal
cony that overlooked the street.
She put two fingers between her
teeth and whistled stridently, as
boisterous boys do in a picture
show, the way Scott had taught
her to whistle during one Of their
desert rides. He recognized the
sound and Immediately glanced up,
but by then Ylena was looking with
dreamy attention at something on
the far horizon, hand stiffiy shading
the eyes
To Tate's look OF impolite ask
ance she said, I'm an Indian"
He did not laugh. "You mean
you're crazy" He stepped back into
the room, his face darkly impa-
tent.
Diane was horror stricken,
Ylena saw, as she swept back into
the room and onto the stairway
entrance to welcome her guests. To
herself she was thinking, Now,
I'm going to have some fun"
Darling, darling, Ylena" fish
was saying as she came up the
grill-work steps. She fell upon the
blond girl with her usual suffoca-
ton. Rapturous verbal endear-
ments, constantly reiterated be-
tween kisses and squeezes. Scott
and have come to take you to
dinner Oh, how do you do! How
do you do?" she commented brief
ly as Ylena managed to stop her
lush long enough to present Diane
and her brother. Tate and Scott
Hamilton shook hands, then moved
as far apart as possible.
Diane forgot to be outraged at
Ylena's tomboyish behavior in her
delight at meeting THE fish Rey-

cestors.- columnists and photogra-
pliers
C!anking with cowboy spurs and
precious gems. interpreted with
ndian jewelry, she sat down be-
side Diane, and went right on talk
ing breathlessly, finally interrupt
ing herself to ask: How long have
you know Ylena?"
Since she first came to La Ma

Ylena felt the quick glance of
Scott Hamilton, but before she
could catch the expression on his
face, he said something about fixing

The blond girl looked at her fiance,
impeccable in his blue-gray gabar-
dine suit and white gray sport
shoes, his face still rather sullen
from petty alterations with Ylena.
"Yes," fish repeated. Hes the
most amazingly handsome man
I've ever seen. Congratulations"
Tate flashed his magnetic smile
over perfect, white teeth and said
a nice Thank you" However,
Ylena knew it was the compliment
that brought the smile rather than

Ha, Ha!
Acting on an intluitlve decision.
Scott rose and said quickly, Let's
go, Tish."
Now" she protested. I'VE Just
got here-anyway, we came to
take Ylena 10 dinner"
Tate put in, "Ylena Is having
dinner with us"
What if she is? We can all 60
together. I'm madly in love with
Scott, but I'd love to sit across the
table and just look at you" She
clutched the hand Hamilton ex-
tended and got up to lean heavily
against him. What do you say,
Tate?" She turned to her compan-
ion. Wen make party. 1t would
be fun, wouldn't it,"
II doubt ii, fish. Would you put
a brown shoe on one foot and a
white one on the other?" He shot
quick glance over her conglomer-
ated outfit and shook his head.
"Yeh! guess you would Come on, .
we're going"
The pudgy girls eyes were
gawking with perplexity. For the
moment her chatter was silenced.
She murmured quick farewells and
followed Scott Hamilton down the
stairs. AS they walked through the
Arcade. Ylena heard her friends
glib voice again, cascadent, contin-
uous, questioning.
Turning back into the room
Ylena remarked with mild sarcasm,
Mice little party" She bent over
the back of Tate's chair and leaned
her cheek against his.
"Come to dinner at the house to-
night, Ylena."
Just family" Diane said inclu-
sively. She began draping lovely
silver foxes over her shoulders.
Just as she had to that first din
ner invitation, Ylena asked, Are
you sure Mrs. Cromwell will want
me?"
"Of course" Diane treasured.
Her cheeks were family pink with
embarrassment. 80 will Percy. I'll
go pick up the infant now. Meet
you in the car, Tate"
AS soon as his sister left the
room, Tate leaped to his feet and
gathered Ylena into impatient
arms. He didn't say word, just
kissed her, until her senses swan,
until she was so dizzy and breath
less beneath his lips, that no out
side thoughts invaded her mind. II
only such moments never had to
end - those stars bursting about

before her eyes. Abruptly he re-
leased her and asked, What was

The girl asked herself the age
old question. Why couldn't love be

Tate pondered the remark. II

Neither do l."
But she did. Scott meant she
was refusing to acknowledge her
fears, that in some biased fashion
she hoped to hide them by having
Francie work for her.
And he was right! Ylena realized
that as she and Tate walked
through the shop on Tate's way to
his car. Why, I'm wide-eyed and
fiop-eared, Ylena thought with
self-disgust. Staunchly she fought
for nonchalance, as she waved to
her guests, then rejoined Francie
in the showroom. Nevertheless, she
admitted with honesty that she had
hired Francie to keep an eagle eye
on her, and for no other reason. She
wanted to snoop and probe. I'm

More than one fan has informed me
of Bill Cunningham's change this
week from the Boston Post to the Bos.
ton Herald Traveller. And, from what
l have heard, the Herald will now
draw additional colored readers
Which is as it should be.
Bill Cunningham came here from
the south with confessed racial pref
udice which was wiped out in athletic
team-play with Big Johnny Shelbourne
at Dartmouth College. Today John
and Bill are great friends.
And Bill Cunningham has come to
Boston and shown most of New Eng
land that southerner can be MORE
democratic than most citizens born
here.
There was unmistakeable sadness
among many colored when it was an
nounced that Bill had changed his
address. We thought he was going
away.
But we still have Bill. Everything's
all right now!

Five Sons

Mother Phillips of Medford is a
grand example of colored American
patriotism with all her five sons given
this week to Uncle Sam.
1t certainly is an added proof of the
great sacrifice colored American Moth
erhood has made for this country ever
since Crispus Attacks became the first
martyre for United States Democracy.
And this is my answer to those who
criticise my demands that every col
ored American youth in this country
receive his every right as an American
citizen. Even if some are unfortunate
ly misled into not contesting for these
rights. And some are so led.
If Mother Phillips five sons are
good enough to defend Uncle Sam
they ought to be good enough to share
every opportunity in this country and
that goes for the sons of all colored
American mothers everywhere.
The N.A.A.C.P. is asking for in
creased membership that will allow a
united nation to secure these rights.
Have you joined the Cause?

Cuba is that big, energetic island
not too far off our Atlantic coast. It's
history is amazing. 1t is ruled by SO
year old President Fulgencio Batista
Ell Padre de los Cubanos.
Batista is a colored Cuban and
ranks with Toussant L'Overture and
those other American Island military
leaders who are with the people, or
as Cubans say in the rapid fire Ian
guage, Para todas los Cubanos.
Much of Cuba is definitely colored
and in this country most of the Cubans
are considered as such anyway. The
hardships of Cuban players on the
Washington Senators team were pref
ty awful as reported 1t wasn't just
color, but difference in language to
boot. And yet all of this has been
overcome by the little Island off the
Coast.
1t seems to me that if Is million
colored of this country cannot double
the achievement of little Cuba we
ought to be ashamed.
Meanwhile, Viva Cubanos!!!

THE STORY OF THE WEEK
A. A. u. National Tournament

| taking away all the titles. Then, the
west coast may send its All-American
weiterweight king, Mickey Daniels,
who proved his mettle just recently in
| the Hearst tournament. And from the
south there are sure to come many fine
amateur boxers, all of which means
that there will be plenty to cheer.
More Than a Tournament" Bell
Since last year, when for the first
time the colored youth of the south
was included in the Championship of
Champions, my thoughts generally
run back to those famous last words of
John H. Bell whenever think of these
particular contests. His team which
had been picked from some sixty-five
boys made such an impressive show
ing that they left many old-timers
amazed. 1t just wasn't expected that
they would be in the thick of the fight
throughout. Amateurs located in
larger cities have all the facilities
necessary, such as Gyms, trainers and
opportunities to garner experience by
fighting. This southern team had a
trainer, to be sure, and a good one
but their experience hadn't been the
same, nor were their gymnasium OPP
portunities. But dispite these handi-
caps they fought hard all the way and
although they took home no champion
ships, they lost only to champions.
When Bell was asked what he thought
of his teams showing he had simply
this to say: "Some day they'll come
from the small towns, back off the
beaten path, proud in their knowledge
that they have an equal chance with
the rest of the country. This is some
thing more than just boxing tourna-
ment."
Yes it was more than just a
boxing tournament for it saw for the
first time the A.A.U. Championships
really National in scope. 1t was as
glowing tribute that has ever been
paid this beloved section of ours, for
right before our eyes we saw the bold
answer to the south's at can't be
done" The spirit of that show, a year
ago, when amateurs irrespective of
their color or residence, came together
with but one purpose in mind, was
craftsmanship Again this year, after
March 81, April 1 and 2 have written
their chapters in anotehr National
A.A.U. tournament there will be other
winners to cheer, to be sure. But the
spirit will be the same and as more
and more of US begin to understand
what the word "sportsmanship" i'm
plies, we will more boldly say to those
who feel at can't be done" that 1t
Will Be Done!

That show of shows, the National
A.AU. Championships, is once again
within shouting distance. Those
youthful pugilists =. they who would
display their fistic talent in some fight
emporium for the "honor of honors",
a national title are making ready
their leave, from their several cities,
towns, villages and hamlets scattered
throughout this land, for the Hub of
the universe. For again it is Boston's
privilege to entertain the many
champions who will vie for national
recognition in the amateur ranks.
They will bring with them all the
hopes and dreams of youth aspiring
for professional livelihood in boxing
for out of the mad scramble for eight
titles there will come, surely, one or
two or three boys who will in the near
future be up there contending for an
other title :. and money.
N. E. Team Without COlored Titlist
An unusual twist has come about
this year, so far as our local entries
are concerned, for the N.E.A.A.U.
tournament, which was held at the
Gardens on Monday past, for the first
time in the past few years failed to
come up with colored titlist. I'm
usual? When considering the past rec
ord of this section it most assuredly
is. This doesn't come as a cry against
some underhandedness, or the like,
for just the opposite is as true this
year at it always has been. The pro-
motors behind the several try-out
shows, which are held periodically
during the season to determine the
qualifiers for the final test, have been
quite fair !. it's just that we haven't
had the talent. Week after week, as
sat in on the several qualifying
shows, l was impressed by the birth of
amateur talent, not only colored, but
white as well. New England, once the
amateur hot-bed, has lost its title. Our
very best have been made to look like
just so many more amateurs, in recent
countrywide tournaments. The out
siders have come here time after time
and have taken away the many con-
tested titles. Yet we still claim
the championship for being the best
amateur followers.
Many COlored in Tourney
All this would come as discouraging
news to those of us who get the great
est thrill from watching some race boy
pound his way to a championship if
it weren't for the fact that there will
be many colored from out of town Sec
tions. The midwest has a galaxy of

Harvard Starts
l94l Spring
Football Practice

CAMBRIDGE-The Crimson Eleven
opened 1941 spring practice at the
Stadium last Monday under Coach
Dick Harlow and his new assistant
Coach, Al Mccoy and line coach, Earl
Brown.
Guilds Chance
Reports are that Coach Harlow will
lose backs Charlie Spreyer, Captain
Franny Lee, and Henry Wander Ebb
next July, via the Army.
The loss of Franny Lee, ace Grim
son wing-back, would leave the right
half slot requirements up to Mel Cor
don, Les Lyle, Ray Guild, and Celeb
Loring.
1941 will prove conclusively wheth-
er Guild can make the grade with the
Harvard Varsity Eleven. He was in
jured last year but saw some action in
the Michigan and Yale contests and
was standout on the Jayvee eleven.
One of Harvard's feetest backs, Guild,
according to some Harvard officials,
needs only to find himself in the Har-,
ward backfeld. High hopes are held
for him, End barring injury Guild will
make one of the trio of Crimson back
fields.
