the floods of judgment God called Noah

Satan was in his glory, He'll seemed to

BEAUTIFUL COURSE

Ponkapoag is right off the big main
highway, sharp contrast to the expe-
ditions of the past There is no con-
fusing circular cow path to wreck your
car; no necessity to carry a scout axe,
compass and lantern to blaze a trail
through a jib-saw jungle before dis
covering the playing field. This is a
state course spread smack dab on the
left side of the main highway, as easy
to reach as those roadside luscious
fruit and vegetable stands which per-
fume the pavements. You can't miss
it.
I predict everyone will commend the
Bay State Golf Club and it's associates
for securing a real championship
course for a national colored tourna-
ment. Here's hoping all maintain a
high standard of appreciation. John
@. Public will be watching all very
closely. From best information we
learn that mighty fine people are fully
aware that the success of the Ponka-
poag venture may and can open new
fields of endeavor. We must, therefor,
put our best foot forward.

CHICAGO-Leroy "Satchel" Paige

satisfy his loyal fan turnout of $4,000
Advertised as being only Al years

final two innings.
Great Attraction
Paige in his last three appearances
in major league ball parks has played
before a total of close to 100000 ball
fans of both races. In some instances,
as in Chicago, thousands were unable
to get in and were turned away.
In st. Louis, Paige drew nearly
10000 at Sportsman's Park, more than
the Cards or Browns have been able to
attract in years.
At the Yankee Stadium, New York,
Paige attracted a major league turn
out of 27,000, an exceptionally large
attendance.
Paige has been we'll named by Ric

BARRED BY WHITE

The colored American golfers have
been barred from "white" tonrns
ments is now well known fact Some
people profess to have no knowIedge of
such barriers. They proudly n nro q
claim they do not read the "colored
papers" Everything they see in the
white" papers is gospel.
To such people a nationwide GOLF
tournament for colored amateurs and
pros may sound silly. There's nothing
silly about it.
There have been and there still are
colored golfers who can hit lust as far
and putt just as accurately as any
white golfer in America. Just as there
are equally capable colored ball plav.
ers, colored boxers, colored track
stars and colored anything else.
Even colored attorneys can defend
prominent white men.

assume that the colored golf cham

WONDERLAND BARKS

each event of the cards. The dogs leap
around the dazzling oval beautifully.
They reach the wire in sensational fin

works. The win, place and show dogs
are led to the judges stand to receive a
nod of official recognition. The grooms
who lead them salute like soldiers. Back
to the kennels for rest and another
period of training to appear on cards
and the dog fans to calculate on their

the echo of bark. A hound yelp, is a

GOLF SCENE

We drove out to Ponkapoag last
Sunday to look over the scene of the
1941 National Golf Championships
which will begin exactly ten bright
suns from today. And, golf or no golf,
it's a beautiful drive.
Ponkapoag is vast velvet green
state golf course of some 1920 yards
with 27 holes. The white pro / inter

was a cool II.
Driving down to Ponkapoag over
