We will have boys competing IN the
spirits, hurdles, 800, 600, the mile, the
high jump and in some tremendously
exciting relays.
Never in ten years of my journalistic
acquaintance with Boston indoor track
has there been such celebrated roster
of sepia stars extending over so many
varied events. I also remember when
thew said it couldn't be done; that col
ored boys could only run the dash. You
remember that too.
Track, more than any other sport,
has brought the races together Every
year southern white lads compete with
and learn to respect colored. Fred
Walcott of Texas and Digger Of Tufts
get along quite well these days.
It really pays for race fans to support

Wanted: A Trophy

It is therefor humbly suggested here
that some South End, or other business
establishment, or some distinguished
individual, donate a little trophy.
Said trophy would be kept in circu-
lation annually-would be a permanent
affair, or it could be given wholly to a
three time winner. In fact, a second
place trophy and third place trophy
should also be donated by public minded
persons. And incidentally of course, it
would be good annual publicity free.
Off hand, I could name three well
known business establishments who can
afford to donate trophies and who could
promise them today. But I am going to
let the basketball people tackle this not
too difficult job. That is, of course, if
the basketball people are really inter
ested in the subject.
There really ought to be every en-
couragement given our youth as regards
participation in clean wholesome sports
and [ have no sympathy for those able
to contribute toward this cause who
refuse to do so, and yet buy up lot of
"help the other fellow" decorations.
Charity begins at home.

Alabama State Here

Having had just bit to do with the
encouragement of Southern colored
boys competing in Boston, and being
invited here, I am hoping Alabama
State will uphold the fine impressions
left here by Ralph Metcalf's Xaxier U.
N'Orleans tracksters and by Mozelle
Ellerbe, the Tuskegee Tornado. Rozia
Singletary, the powerful built st. Au-
gustine sprinter won no little attention,
but the king of them all is still Johnny
Borican the Va. State Trojan, first in
vited here in 1886 for the Eastern
Olympic trials after being barred from
the regional try-outs down South. So
all in all, you dan't want to under-rate
our major southern colleges.
Nor should we under-rate Gil Walker
in that prize sprint field on Garden
boards to-nite. Given some earned
breaks, Walker will make the finals
ahead of some Of the most advertised
names on the program although I look
for Davis to win with an upset quite
possible by Thompson.
You'll never forgive yourself if you

LOUIS TAKES
RED" BURMAN
In STRIDE

Joe Louis successfully defended his
title for the 18th time against Clarence
"Red" Burman, of Baltimore, Jack
Dempsey's protege.
1t was routine Louis fight as he
kept pounding away, getting his '1ethal
apparatus" in order for the more seri-
GUS defense this summer against Billy
Conn. Louis, despite the fact that some
feel as though he has passed his peak,
has proven that he is a great fighter by
his willingness to meet all corners re-
CARELESS of their claims to his title. In
meeting some of the challengers it has
been his lot to accept the responsibility
OF giving the crowd a show for its
money and he never once has failed.
Burman Not the Best Challenger
Burman, who is not listed as the out
standing challenger, gave rather good
account of himself as ne withstood the
Louis pounding for four full rounds.
After a good first round he was forced
to fight defensively the rest of the way
as Louis decided to carry the brunt of
the attack.
The fight showed that Louis is still
terrific" and that there are no heavy
weights in his class.

Armstrong GETS.
GLOWING TRIBUTE.
RECEIVES MEDAL FOR OUT
STANDING ACHIEVEMENT

Henry Armstrong came in for more
honors at the recent Louis Burman fight
as he was called to the ring to receive
a medal as an appreciation on behalf
of the fans for what he means to the
great sport of boxing.
This honor came as final tribute to
the greatest fighter the game has ever
known. When Harry Barlough made
the presentation he said in part "be-
cause of the great champion you were
both in and out of the ring, because you
are the only one to have ever held three
ring titles simultaneously and because
of the high regard and esteem you are
held by boxing fans here and in every
city where people have seen you in
action or have come to learn of your
ability, we would like to present this
medal as a token of our appreciation
for the fine entertainment you have
given us. And in whatever business
you may decide to enter, may you, for
your fine wife and daughter, be triple
champion always"
ludHkS freSS
Upon receiving the medal Armstrong
thanked the members of the press for
having been so generous with their
daily remarks about him in their col
umns and assured them that he would
always think kindly of them. To his
vast following he poured out his sin
cerest thanks for their backing and
kindness in receiving him cordially as
they always did. Even though de-
feated by Zivic in an earlier bout when
the championship changed hands, the
vast crowd that turned out to see Harry
make his last stand cheered him on,
after making him the favorite, and gave
him one of the greatest send-offs ever
given a professional athlete.)
For a professional athlete to receive
such tribute is a testimony to his
greatness, not only as an athlete but
man. Armstrong, as he stood there in
the middle of the ring and spoke to the
vast audience, seen and unseen, showed
why he had come into such an honor.
With deep humility, thanking all who
had even the slightest hand in his sue
cess he took his bow leaving fans every
where glad that they knew him.
