them against a picked team from
the Negro National league. Al
though in 1926 he secured the
Kansas City Monarchs almost in

Homestead Grays, Chicago Giants,
Nashville Elites and several other
clubs. Such white players as Foxx,

to his Pirrone's All-Stars, picked
from coast league teams, which
starred Babe Herman and other
top -notchers.
Before from 1000 to 5000 fans
the colored players usually had a
fairly easy time winning almost
every game in the weekend series.
White fans became accustomed to

against the whites and were very
enthusiastic over the contests.
For this reason they are already
sold on the colored players and
over a number of individual play

HARRY B0B0, HAILED AS SUCCESSOR TO JOE
LOUIS, THROUGH AS FIGHTER; BAD VISION
Pittsburgh Strong Boy Closes
Career Like John Henry Lewis

The match with Pastor would
have brought Bobo the biggest
opportunity of his three-year pro-
fessional career, as Pastor is
ranked second to Billy Conn as
contender to Joe Louis crown.
The local heavyweight gained
famed last March q at The Car
dens when he knocked out the
highly touted Lem Franklin i'll
one round.
SCORED ~ KAYOES
Bobo has participated in 81 pro-
fessional fights and has scored %
knockouts, the most recent being
five found kayo over Claudio
Villar, Spanish heavyweight, at
Forbes Field on July q. Before
that he had dropped decisions to
Gus Dorazio and Melio Bettlna in
that order.
The eye injury was believed suf-
fered in the Dorazio fight staged
in Philadelphia and since then has
fought three times. He kayoed
Bob Smith in Toledo before the
Bettina fight held in Cleveland.
Bettina got off the floor after a
count Of nine in the fifth round
to win an easy decision over
Bobo.
Bobo won the Junior National
A. A. U. heavyweight champion
ship in 1889 before turning pro.
Besides winning recognition in
the ring as one of the best heavy
weights around today, Harry was
an all-round athlete in his high
school days at Peabody. He
starred in football, baseball, bas-
ketball and track, winning the
pentathlon championship in his
senior year
ACTION SURPRISES
MANAGER
Eddie Kapphan, manager of
Bobo, last said that the action
came as complete surprise to
him.
Harry is as ready to fight as
ever" Kapphan said. Since the
Dorazio contest he has been passed
upon and given the o. k. by three
examining physicians before fights.
Only two weeks ago he was de-
clared fit to meet Claudio Villar
here by the same physician who
yesterday advised that he be
barred in this state. It's all very
odd to me and I am going to see
my attorney tomorrow to ascer-
tain what action if any can be
taken on behalf of my fighter

If (there's that word AGAIN. the

be culled, leaving the Negro teams

don't hand him much for taking
the stand that the idea of some

that's still discrimination by isoia-
