had been out of competition a year
and was plotting a comeback. But
he forgot all about it after seeing
Master Thomas in action. He became
manager instead, Forte's manager,
and 1t appears he made a wise de-
cision.
Tommy is on the threshold of
winning his first pro title. He had
one chance, after beating Champion
Lou Sal1ca in an overweight match,
and blew it in the last round after
having Lou on the floor. Salica has
been on deck only twice, put there
the first time by Sixto Escobar.
former bantam king, so Tommy
must be regarded as somewhat of
q puncher.
Diamond says he'll f1atten any,
body who Slugs it out with him but
when the opposition goes into a
crouch, weaves and bobs, he needs
| time to straighten them up.
Forte strikingly resembles Petey
Scalzo in his personal appearance.
They're constructed along similar
lines, have the same complexion,
| the same coal-black hair and the
same easy-going dispositions. The
only difference, to hear Diamond
tell it, is that Forte is a better
| fighter.
Tommy Seldom Leaves Home.
Tommy has been a real home
town boy, leaving Philadelphia for
only four of 81 prior engagements.
Until Salica nosed him out he hadn't
lost fight since bowling to Andre
Sarilla, no top-flighter, in Septem-
Der, 1889. In between he beat the
best competition available, even
going out of his class to get fights.
He just about ruined Lew Trans
PARENTS career by betting him out
twice. joey Archibald is another
| victim.
Oddly enough Forte's last three
fights took place on the 18th of the
month. He whipped Balo Danno
and Small Montana but came out on
the wrong end of the duel with
Salica, as noted above.
Corchado is a good, rough fellow
who will not stand up and permit
Forte to hit him at will but will
stay we'll covered up. They've met
before, Forte winning close de-
cision. But that was a couple of
years ago and both have changed
| considerably-for the better.

COLUMBIA, S. CHAMPION
October Is, South Carolina will send
a new U. S. senator to Washing
ton, former governor Burnett r.
Maybank In view of Gov. May
banks actions while governor, his
election as U. S. senator came as
somewhat of a surprise to most OBJ
servers. Coming from state long
notorious for its Negro baiters in
congress, Tillman, Blease, and Cot
ton Ed Smith, Maybank will be a
welcome relief.
While Maybank can be expected
to cast his votes along with the
southern bloc against pro-Negro
legislation, he, from his antecedents
and nature, is not likely to indulge
in the mad believing of some of
his predecessors. Maybank is
unique in South Carolina politics
being a true Charleston aristocrat,
wealthy in his own right.
UNMASKED KLAN
During his term as governor he
was instrumental in unmasKing the
Ku KluX Klan and issued orders
that no more khan demonstrations
were to be held in the state unless
the participants we're unmasked. He
went further and charged that the
klan was Nazi dominated. Some of
his closest friends advised against
this drastic action against the po-
litically powerful klan.
Maybank conducted his campaign
On a high plane and no time did
ne bring up the race question. On
the other hand his opponent, ex-
governor Olin Johnson, INDUCED in
a deal of mud slinging-"white SUI
premacy, the sanctity of our
women, the dire threat of Negro
domination. His supporters made
capital of Maybank's appointment
of a Negro notary public, also
charges that NIaybank had shown
entirely too much interest in the
Negro teachers equal pay demands
In some quarters it was believed
that khan headquarters in Atlanta
was interested in Maybank's defeat
and quite some aid was given to
Johnson's candidacy. Two alleged
rape cases in the upper part OF the
state were branded 10y unbiased
persons as political propaganda
Strangely enough both cases occur
red On Sunday when sufficient peo-
pie of both races were idle to bring
on a race riot. A number OF Ne
groes were beaten but all flareupS
were quelled by the local police

CHICAGO, Ill.-(SNS)-Thous-
ands of football fans will gather
here for the 18th annual TuSkegee-
Wilberforce football game, which
will be played at Soldier Field at
$50 O'Clock Friday night, October
10. The clash has become one of
the nations outstanding gridiron
attractions and arouses the COM
munity as perhaps no other sports
attraction does. 1t is a battle in
which Cleve L. Abbott, South Da-
kota State College, '16, the crafty
Tiger mentor, matches his wits
against the well-planned attack of
the wldely-knOTin CASTOR F.,
Lewis, Wilberforce alumnus, and
the Green Wave coach.
Tuskegee will be without the eX-
cellent services of Robert Moore,
the Tiger triple threat, inducted
into the army early in the summer,
who passed and punted the team
to several consecutive victories last
season. His duties will be taken ov-
er by George Robinson, the Hia-
watEa, Kansas, basketball luni--
nary, who will do the passing and
prlnting. Marion Smiley and Will
liam Shaw will give valuable as
sistance. Both are good field gen.
erals and will be seen in action.
Word has been received here
that Coach Abbott is utilizing every
available hour to polish the at
tack of the Tuskegee team. Men
who are receiving considerable at
tention are: Upshaw Sans, the
Beaumont, Texas. boy, member of
the famous Tuskegee relay team, .
dangerous man in the open; Dan
iel James, 205 pound tackle; Rob-
ert Ivy, end; Joshua Brown.

the scoring punch and it is expect,
ed the boys from the South will be

tory soon after they gain posses
