is BOXING REALLY ON
CHAIN STORE BASIS

Tex Rickard was big time name
in boxing. His reign was the be-
ginning of big money in the sport
but he wasn't the businessman that
Mike Jacobs has turned out to be.
He was a gambler in the fullest
sense of the word He based his
actions and general procedures on
the gamblers hunch" and was
successful.
When Jacobs took over he gradu-
ally placed scientific business IN
the game. 1t was about the time
that big concerns were beginning
to see the advantages OF placing
houses in different communities
over the country.
Jacobs quickly caught on and
today, has a boxing syndicate as
as soundly foundationed as the
federal reserve system banks SO.
Yes, boxing is really the chain
link system.
BIG BOXERS GAIN
MUCH
This system has proved advan-
tageouS to Jacobs and his name"
fighters. We say his fighters be-
cause the greater number of the
known fighters of this country are
under the direct or tangent domi-
nance of MICHAEL STRAUSS JA-
COBS. They have made money.
Prominence has been gained and a
social respect for the game is be-
ing given by the populace of most
countries.
This system, of course, has its
fine points as well as its bad ones.
It's good points are evidenced in
the magnetism of publicity. The
brilliancy of key men in the inner
circle radiated by the press. The
bad points are back stage drama
tics or headlines behind the head
! lines.
HOW 1T WORKS
New York is the greatest boxing
center in the world. Jacobs in
herited this setup from the late
Tex Rickard, but after the Louis
Pastor go in the Garden, in which
Pastor ran around the ring some
179 times and, in doing so, Gre
ated such a furore that one eX-
pected the second go to be in the
same town and to be of financial
worth. But not Jacobs, he felt
that Detroit was the place. De-
troit is known to be one of the
try. A Detroit promoter was need
n %@ 1Nir in hi 11l TOn
thus Norris, the big cheese of the
flivver town, became a part of ia
cobS machine.
Philadelphia was decided upon
for the Galento-Nova bout, there
fore Muggsy Taylor, Philly pro-
moter, became a link in the ma
chine. Jake MintS came in as a
co-promoter when Jacobs wished
the smoky city of Pittsburgh as
the spot for the Billy -Melio
Bettina fight.
On and on, this system has
stretched reaching westwards to
California and even the southland
is linking itself with uncle Mike.
This alone gives impetus to
crediting Jacobs as being response
BILE for the nctional interest Gre
ated in boxing. He has brought to-
gether under his dominance the
better talent of the country which
is, of course, justifiable from a
business standpoint
But it is being contended that
the game is being hurt. Jacobs say
that it isn't and presents the fact
that he is bringing in co-promo-

TWENTY-EIGHT NEGROES
PLAY ON EXCLUSIVELY
WHITE D. {. LINKS

with not up to standard.
The members of this club which
is 10 years old, are planning to
participate in Joe Louis open tour
nament and later at the national
tournament in Boston and seized
this opportunity of playing on first
class links in order to condition
themselves for the future events.
Accompanied by Edgar Brown,
president of the United States
Government Employees, the % play
erS brought their tickets, took their
places and were called in turn as
their tickets came up.
There was no evidence of dis
order, said Mr.. Brown, although
there had been reports that riot
call had been sent police and Of
ficers of the law were dispatched
to the scene. Mr.. Brown denied
this said the players were orderly
and went through with their game
as they had planned originally.
y Mr.. Brown is the authority for
the statement attributed to Mr..
Ickes, who said that the facilities
of the national parks are for the
use of all American citizens, and
because of the superior condition
of the links at the East Potomac
park, the colored golfers decided
to use them. On the course are 10
shelters for weather protection on
the full 18-hole course. At Langs-
ton, there are, none. 1t is reported
that experts from both the interior
and department of agriculture Wis
tied Langston and inspected the
grass and declared it was a terri
BILE condition.
No caddies were used, although
the colored players brought their
own, caddies along in the event
they were to be used White caddies
are used at this park, but a per-
NIT is necessary for boy to work
the greens. The colored caddieS
were not used, it is believed be-
cause they had no badges showing
they held official permits to cad
dy there.
This is merely the first part of
our program" said Mr.. Brown, ito
obtain equal rights to all of the
facilities available in the district.
Some comment was heard from the
crowds of whites who had gather
ed to play, one saying Abraham
Lincoln is responsible for this
But these remarks did not deter
the players from going through
with their scheduled game. One of
the men in the face of the terri
fic doWnpour which marred the
day, shot a 78 on 70 course, which
was not a bad score at all. And
they are going to continue to go
through with the program"
Two weeks ago, Mr. Brown es-
corted group of players to the
same course and under police pro-
lection carried on a game. Those
taking part were Asa Williams,
president of the Royal Golf Club;
George Williams, a teacher, and
Cecil Shamwell, a government en-
ployee. The fourth man in the
group was Elmer Swami. Mr..
Swami did not play in the first
group. He merely went along.
News associations called Mr..
Brown Immediately after the group
had finished playing and asked
what his intentions were in the
matter of having Negroes play on
this hiterto restricted course. Mr..
Brown told them he had no in
tention at all, he merely wanted to
see that American citizens had full
use of the facilities provided by the
government for them and that
they would continue to use the
links just as other Americans were
doing.
