Bell Negro Flash, Leads Chi Giants Here Saturday

Cool Papa" Bell, unquestionably the f1eetest outfielder in Negro base ball today, will lead the famous Chicago American Colored Giants into Municipal Stadium Saturday night when the sensational Windy City aggregation makes its first New England appearance against Fred Davis Waterbury Brasscos under lights.
 What Maurice Archdeacon is to white baseball history, Bell is to the game as played by the nations col ored stars. Bell first came into prominence with the St. Louis Stars and later with the Pittsburgh Craw- lords with whom he starred in 1941 before being bought by the Chicago team for a price estimated at $10,- 900, one of the largest purchase prices ever posted in the colored loop.
 Since that time, Cool Papa" has been the pride of the Chicago out fit managed by Candy Jim" Taylor, brother -in-law of Waterbury's Tom Taylor, also a great player in his own right some years back. Candy Jim" known as the grand old man of Negro baseball" is celebrating his 38th year of participation in the diamond sport as player, coach or manager with one of his greatest clubs.
 Outstanding
 Gracing ther Giants roster are many stars not so we'll known around New England, but outstand- ing in the middle west just as the championship Homestead Grays are around metropolitan New York and New England. Among them Arm stead Rhodes, a Chicago boy at first base; Henry "Tiger" Smith at sec ond base; Ralph Dixie" Wyatt at short, considered the best short- fielder in the American League; Artie Pennington, a centerflelder with great throwing arm and re- garded as power hitter; catcher Percy Howard; and 8 pitching staff comprised of an array that would do justice to any major league club.
 The Giants are probably one of the oldest colored baseball organiz- .ations in the country and have won at least r national and dozen intersectional championships against the National Negro Professional League champions.

 Archer to Show
 Indications are that the largest crowd of the summer boxing season at the Garden will witness tonight'S show. New Jersey fans are particu- larly interested because not only Stolz but also Freddy Archer, one of the principals in the eight-round semi-final, halls from Newark.
 Archer is paired with Danny Kap- flow, of the Bronx. These two fought a torrid draw battle at the Queens- boro Arena in Long Island City a few weeks ago.

mechanical age, in the summer fol- lowing the Wall Street crash of 1929, Cane reincarnated an outmoded sport.
 The Hambletonian stake was raced for the first time at the New York State Fair at Syracuse in 1926. It was worth $73,451. The co-attrac- tion boosted attendance.
 The first renewal was raced at Lexington the next fall. The crowd was disappointing. It fiopped at Syracuse in 1928 and at Lexington In '29. That was the year Bill Cane won the race with Walter Dear driven by his friend and trainer, Walter R. Cox, who died last De- cember.

FAILURE OF EVENT WAS CHALLENGE TO CANE

Cane had driven trotters for years as a prominent amateur reins- man. He had the distinction of building the arena at Boyle's Thirty Acres in record time for the Dem- psey-Carpentier fight. He was a man of enterprise, and the poor att tendance at trotting's blue-ribbon event was a challenge to him.
 So the 1880 running of the Ham, bletonian was held at Canes Good Time Park at Goshen. It has never been raced anywhere else since.
 There was no instantaneous ap- proval of the meeting. It had to be promoted and publicized. Obstacles were plentiful. Public resistance had to be broken down for acceptance of an auegedly slow, nick sport in a racy era whcih paid premimum on speed.

STANDS FACE SETTING SUN

The grandstand had to be built facing west into the setting sun, for, try as he did, Bill Cane couldn't buy a string of land on the west which would have been the site of stands facing east.
 Refusal of the owners to sell this land meant that a triangular track had to be laid out to fit purchasable space. Horses in the back stretch had to race away from the grand stand and into far corner of the course before turning to come back alongside Highway IT and finally turning again to enter the home stretch.
 Yet, depict these discouraging barriers and with interest at low ebb, Cane built up the Hamble- tonian stake to a unique position in sports circles.
 Like Epson Downs and Louis- vile, population in this town of some $500 swells nearly eight or nine times during the Hambletonian hegira. Country cousins rub elbows with city slickers, the thermometer scrapeS 90 and yet, despite the towns relative inaccessibility, the mob keeps coming.
 COLBY HANOVER,
 PAY UP FAVORED
 Canes faith in trotting has been a hnAx1 tn thn Frhn Yn tonian gives 1t peg, just as the Derby, Preakness and Arlington Classic boost the thoroughbred run ners.
 Rationing and travel restrictions may cut down attendance this year. but everyone from jovial Mayor Walter Brown to the lowest stable boy, believes that thousands will make the trip, even If they have to buy Sulky and nag to get here.
 There are 40 entries in this years race. Nine to 12 will start.
 Colby Hanover, owned by c. w. Phellis, New York, and I. w. Glea- son, Williamsport, Pa, is the fav- orite, although he has not started this year.
 Pay Up, bay colt by Follow Up, won his last three starts in 194l and copped the Matron Stake, lead ing preview to the race, this year. The colt is owned by R. H. John ston of Charlotte, N C., who had Bill Gallon, last years winner.
 Other contenders are Cannon Ball. The Ambassador. Capitol Hanover, Dot Chappell, and Sophie Hanover.
 Tn these tire-less, gas-less days, the 17th Hambletonian stake may be more than trotting race. It may help you handle your stream lined, 1944 sulky.

His Work Is Worth Billions

Government moves In some mysterious
way to get next to these things, and be-
fore long Paul was coming to Washing
ton, on expenses and per diem pay. to
tell Congress and the Treasury how to
keep guys like him from beating them to
the punch. At first he'd be here one day
at time. Soon he was pointing out so
many loopholes he was called back for,
sometimes, month.
At last Morgenthau gave him regular
work-at somewhat Of financial sacri-
fee to the man who knew both ends from
the middle.
He drafted the 1912 tax proposals
Sullivan was to present them to Con-
gress. Usually one man does both jobs.
Word got around that the Treasury was
going British"-that it was to have a
barrister and solicitor. In no time Paul
was given the green light to carry on in
came general counsel when Ed Foley,
holding that job, Joined the Army.
There is precedent for Paul's dexterity
in going to bat first for great corpora
tions wishing to whittle down their taxes,
and then for the Treasury and Congress
in taking away their jackknife and
shingle.
He performed the unique academic feat
OF lecturing on taxation at both Yale
and Harvard law schools during the
same scholastic period. He is said to
represent about the best Amherst Col
lege and the New York Law School can
do for man. The celebrated legal firm
of Lord. Day 61 Lord believed this
sufficiently to make him member.
He is far from the ogre we often pic
ture as leering into our pockets for the
last dime. Rather, he is probably one
Of the most liberal-minded tax men tho
Treasury ever had. For instance: The
House Ways and Means Committee
asked him for an opinion ON repayment
Of debts under high tax rates and he
wrote:
The taxpayer could be helped over
the immediate emergency and given tims
to reduce his level Of consumption with
out abrupt dislocation by allowing him
to defer payment Of the tax on that
part of his income devoted to debt re-
payment"

administration tax proposals. Sullivan
roared that the Treasury repudiated the
whole thing. @
Paul sort OF slips up to them in
quiet, unassuming way. He gets the
jump in debate by reciting arguments
against, as we'll as for, his own sugges-
tions. Then he adds that such and
such q tax would do so and so in
producing wartime revenue-and that he
will be very happy for the committee
to agree, but that If it has different
view, 1t is the Congress and not he who
makes the law.
This is pretty smart going. Many a
Treasury expert" has riled up congress
sional tax committees by assuming the
attitude that his ideas were unbeatable,
and then batting his brains out against
stone wall OF opposition.
Paul takes it easy. He doesn't permit
criticism to get his goat. He talks with
the calm assurance Of a man, worldly
wise, who knows his subject. He has
an encyclopedia tax mind, but doesn't
hesitate to say II don't know" If a
question stumps him.
Observers gained the impression that
the House Ways and Means Committee
regarded Paul as man who knew what
he was talking about on the scores of
occasions he stood before 1t.
Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of
North Carolina, who looks down his nose
at all Treasury experts" just to start
his day right, is known to respect Pauls
Judgment and really likes him. although
probably Doughton would rather break
leg than say so.
Veteran reporters read between the
lines, however, when Doughton said OF
Paul: Hes about like all those other
fellers they send up here, only he don't
make you so mad"
There probably is a good reason fol-
that. Before taking to the Government
trade Paul was rated one of the smartest
most successful and highly paid tax law
yers In New York. He was one Of thai
group that shot the old income ia,
laws full Of holes. It was all legitimate
He found legal means to save wealthy
clients lot Of money and helped then
over the hurdles.
